Subject

Our research team has been working on real-time acoustic signal processing for several years now. As a result, a SoundCompass and an Acoustic Camera have been developed, providing real-time 2D and 3D sound field analysis respectively. New fully embedded gadgets are under development and several master thesis topics are available for motivated students.

Kind of work

The work to be done involves:

1.- Literature study
2.- Evaluation of the most interesting solutions
3.- Implementation of a novel solution
4.- Writing the thesis and preparing the public defense
