摘要: An illustrative controller includes: a transmitter to drive an acoustic transducer to generate a first acoustic burst and a second acoustic burst; a receiver coupled to the acoustic transducer to sense a first response to the first acoustic burst and a second response to the second acoustic burst; and a processing circuit to derive output data from the first and second responses in part by determining an offset frequency difference between the first and second responses, wherein the first acoustic burst has a first characteristic frequency and the second acoustic burst has a second characteristic frequency different from the first characteristic frequency.

摘要: Ultrasonic ranging state management for a UAV is described. A transducer transmits an ultrasonic signal and receives an ultrasonic response thereto using a gain value. A noise floor estimation mechanism determines a noise floor estimate. A state mechanism sets an ultrasonic ranging state used by the transducer to a first ultrasonic ranging state. The transducer transmits an ultrasonic signal and responsively receive an ultrasonic response to the ultrasonic signal using a gain value according to the noise floor estimate. The state mechanism processes the ultrasonic response to determine whether to determine a new noise floor estimate, adjust the gain value used by the transducer, or change the ultrasonic ranging state of the UAV to a second ultrasonic ranging state. The configurations of the first and second ultrasonic ranging states differ as to, for example, power and gain levels used by the transducer to receive ultrasonic responses.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for safe and exact ascertaining of fill level of a fill substance located in a container by means of an ultrasonic, or radar-based, fill level measuring device. In such case, the method is distinguished by the feature that the evaluation curve created based on the reflected received signal is differently greatly smoothed as a function of measured distance. To achieve this, the evaluation curve can be specially filtered, depending on the application. In this way, noise fractions and disturbance echoes can be efficiently suppressed, without unnecessarily limiting the accuracy of the fill level measurement.

摘要: A burst drive signal has a sensor drive period for transmitting a first drive signal, and an interval period provided between the sensor drive periods adjacent to each other, for transmitting a second drive signal. The first drive signal has a frequency within a frequency band of a band pass filter. The second drive signal has a frequency that is different from a resonant frequency of a sensor element and is outside the frequency band of the band pass filter.

摘要: An object detection system includes an acoustic wave generator to generate an acoustic wave by generating heat upon energization and a processing circuit to perform object detection processing to detect an object in target space using an acoustic wave generated by the acoustic wave generator. The object detection processing includes setting processing, wave transmission processing, and determination processing. The setting processing sets a search range corresponding to a distance to the object in the target space. The wave transmission processing controls the acoustic wave generator to generate an acoustic wave at a target sound pressure associated with a search range set in the setting processing. The determination processing acquires, from a wave receiver to receive an acoustic wave from the target space, a received-wave signal representing an acoustic wave received by the wave receiver and determines whether the object is present based on the received-wave signal.

摘要: A method of performing distance estimation between a first recording device at a first location and a second recording device at a second location includes: estimating acoustic relative transfer function (RTF) between the first recording device and the second recording device for a sound signal, e.g., by applying an improved proportionate normalized least mean square (IPNLMS) filter; and estimating the distance between the first recording device and the second recording device based on the RTF. The at least one acoustic feature extracted from the RTF estimated between the first recording device and the second recording device includes at least one of clarity index, direct-to-reverberant ratio (DRR), and reverberation time. A distributed-gradient-boosting algorithm with regression trees is used in combination with signal-to-reverberation ratio (SRR) and the at least one acoustic feature extracted from the RTF to estimate the distance between the first recording device and the second recording device.

摘要: One embodiment provides a method comprising acquiring, via one or more microphones of a device in a spatial area, a signal representing at least one echo of an ultrasound emitted via one or more loudspeakers of the device. The method further comprises applying digital signal processing to the signal to determine a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal, and estimating one or more properties of a moving reflector in the spatial area based on the SNR of the signal.
