Call for Papers
The 2013 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA’13) will be held at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York, and is supported by the Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The objective of this workshop is to provide an informal environment for the discussion of problems in audio and acoustics and signal processing techniques leading to novel solutions. Technical sessions will be scheduled throughout the day. Afternoons will be left free for informal meetings among workshop participants.
Papers describing original research and new concepts are solicited for technical sessions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
Acoustic Signal Processing
- Source separation: Single- and multi-microphone techniques
- Source localization
- Signal enhancement: Dereverberation, noise reduction, echo reduction
- Microphone and loudspeaker array processing
- Acoustic sensor networks: Distributed algorithms, synchronisation
