The method divides the area covered by the system into several zones and assigns them anchor pair sets. The pair sets are determined during calibration based on localization root mean square error (RMSE). The calibration assumes driving a mobile platform equipped with a LiDAR sensor and a UWB tag through the specified zones. The robot is localized separately based on a large set of different TDOA pairs and using a LiDAR, which acts as the reference. For each zone, the TDOA pairs set for which the registered RMSE is lowest is selected and used for localization in the routine system work. The proposed method has been tested with simulations and experiments. The results for both simulated static and experimental dynamic scenarios have proven that the adaptive selection of the anchor nodes leads to an increase in localization accuracy. In the experiment, the median trajectory error for a moving person localization was at a level of 25 cm.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116889581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of subjects suffering from cognitive impairment is beneficial in order to undergo therapy at an early stage and therefore the experiments were conducted on subjects attending the third grade of primary school (9 to 10 years old). Our approach achieved an accuracy score of 96.2 % (STD ±3.2) by classifying subjects into the correct groups.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132484324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most fundamental signal processing algorithms are also covered as a starting point for more advanced techniques, which may be further implemented. The developed radar system allows for the use of wide bandwidth - up to 1 GHz - which gives resolutions up to tenths of centimeters, and a high rate of pulse repetition frequency (8 kHz), which gives the opportunity to detect high-speed objects. The paper does not aim to provide any scientific novelties but rather to present the possibility of creating a simple and effective solution.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122605637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the location technique used, different signal processing methods are used. In this paper, we present an efficient and adaptive signal processing method for the signal Doppler frequency (SDF) location method. This method is based on the variability of the Doppler curve, the shape of which is distinctive for the mutual position of the transmitter in relation to the receiver trajectory or vice versa. The proposed approach is based on an overlap technique that enables obtaining the desired number of Doppler frequency shifts for the SDF. The effectiveness of this solution is presented on the example of signals recorded in a real environment. The proposed method could be used in signal processing in real-time SDF applications as well as in simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127083715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All samples were automatically analyzed to calculate their main frequency and amplitude in relation to the loudest sound. The majority of frequencies from all mouth clicks were obtained in the range of 0.5–2kHz. The clicks were most consistent in frequency, but also lowest in amplitude when the volunteers were instructed to aim for a low pitch.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132637170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
