Spatial Signal Processing

Spatial Signal Processing tries to draw conclusions about sources of physical fields and possibly about the geometry and physical properties of a spatial domain using underlying mathematical models and distributed observations of the field itself. The kind of problems we worked on in the past include ultrasound tomography and characterization of physical fields driven by the wave equation and the diffusion equation, and you are welcome to browse pages of past project to find more details.

Currently, we put more focus on localizing acoustic and light sources, inferring room geometry, or even going a step further to combine acoustic localization and mapping into a single procedure — the infamous acoustic SLAM.
