    摘要: The embodiments provide systems and methods for touchless sensing and gesture recognition using continuous wave sound signals. Continuous wave sound, such as ultrasound, emitted by a transmitter may reflect from an object, and be received by one or more sound receivers. Sound signals may be temporally encoded. Received sound signals may be processed to determine a channel impulse response or calculate time of flight. Determined channel impulse responses may be processed to extract recognizable features or angles. Extracted features may be compared to a database of features to identify a user input gesture associated with the matched feature. Angles of channel impulse response curves may be associated with an input gesture. Time of flight values from each receiver may be used to determine coordinates of the reflecting object. Embodiments may be implemented as part of a graphical user interface. Embodiments may be used to determine a location of an emitter.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method enabling the formation of adaptive reception paths for a system comprising an antenna consisting of a plurality of sensors. The method according to the invention involves first grouping the sensors according to a given arrangement, so as to constitute N sub-antennas, the phase centers of which are mutually separated by a distance smaller than the correlation length of the received noise or interference. Secondly, the method involves forming, for each sub-antenna, M primary reception paths in given directions. Thirdly and finally, the method involves forming, by adaptive processing, M secondary reception paths. Each of the secondary paths, pointing in a direction m, is formed from the N primary reception paths pointing in the same direction m and formed for each of the N sub-antennas.

    摘要: A target detection device includes: a sound source which projects a sound pulse; a transducer army disposed in a region for receiving a forward scattered wave from an object in the propagation environement; an addition processing unit which extracts only a signal of the forward scattered wave by applying vector addition processing on a reference signal in a reference sound field received when an obstacle exists in the propagation environment and a mixed signal in a mixed sound field received when the target exists with the obstacle; a phase conjugation determination unit which checks whether a phase conjugacy is established by receiving the signal of the extracted forward scattered wave and employing a passive phase conjugation for determining the reference sound field; and a time reversal processing unit wich generates a time reversal signal on condition that the phase conjugation determination unit judges that the phase conjugacy is established.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for producing signals for controlling a display to produce an image in an imaging system employing a plurality of transducers. First and second beam signals are produced in response to delayed channel signals associated with respective transducers, the delayed channel signals representing real and imaginary components of time domain signals associated with respective transducers suitably delayed to focus a receive beam pattern of the transducers at a beam angle, each of the first and second beam signals including separate real and imaginary component representations. The real and imaginary components of the first and second beam signals are combined to produce a composite beam signal, the composite beam signal including separate real and imaginary component representations. A trigonometric expansion is performed on normalized values of the real and imaginary component representations of the composite beam signal to produce a plurality of expanded values and illumination signals are produced in response to the expanded values, for illuminating pixels on the display.
