We describe a time-of-arrival-(ToA-) based localization system for smartphones. In this system, the transmitter emits modulated light-emitting diode (LED) light and sound waves, then the smartphone catches them. The smartphone measures the time of flight of sound waves and localizes its position using multilateration. The LED light is used for visible light communication, which also conveys the time...
In airborne acoustic imaging the synthetic transmit aperture (STA) technology is widely used to improve the lateral resolution limited by the aperture of the microphone array. As for an STA system we use multiple speakers in combination as well as the receiver array, knowing the exact radiation pattern of a speaker is the key factor to properly operate the synthesis system. The ultrasonic signals...
In an acoustic imaging system, ultrasonic transmitters always have uneven signal strength in the imaging space. Phase changes also occur depending on the distance and direction. In this paper, a new approach to decrease the effect of a transmitter's radiation pattern in acoustic imaging is proposed. We compensated for the transmitter's radiation pattern and reconstructed acoustic images using the...
A new approach for 3D acoustic imaging using a 2D receiver array and a 2D transmitter array is proposed. The proposed method utilizes synthetic transmit aperture (STA) technique and a power radiation pattern of a transmitter. The STA technique has been used in acoustic imaging for reconstructing high quality images by using a few transmission events. However, it assumes that a transmitter produces...
In this paper, we propose an innovative motion-capture system using ultrasonic communications. Compared with existing commercial motion-capture systems that use optical or magnetic sensing, the proposed system can provide a cost-effective solution for industrial and entertainment applications. To design and implement the system, a distance-estimation method called the Extended Phase Accordance Method...
