Abstract
In this paper, we describe the development and testing of an active acoustic sensing (AAS) touch interface. The interface detects subtle changes in the vibrational characteristics of an elastic panel when a user applies a small force to the surface at different locations. The system consists of a panel with an affixed force exciter and vibration sensor to monitor the panel vibrations. An automated system was used to manipulate a stylus to apply a light force to the panel at an array of known locations and the vibrational response of the panel was recorded by the affixed sensor. We employed a rectangular grid of 414 points with 10 mm spacing on a 2 mm thick acrylic panel of dimensions 18 cm by 23 cm. Features of the recordings were employed as training data for a deep neural network. The results demonstrate the viability of the AAS interface, and they show the relative performance of the system as a function of the selected features. The demonstration platform achieved a classification accuracy of 100% and a mean distance error of 0.20 mm for regression. The best-performing feature sets were those that contained sufficient spectral resolution to discriminate subtle changes in the center frequencies and amplitudes of the panel’s modal resonances in response to small changes in touch location. The AAS touch interface is a practical and inexpensive means to provide accurate touch sensing for large surfaces, such as displays, televisions, and information kiosks.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
