Abstract: Research into human computer interface (HCI) has been very active in recent years due to the advances in software applications. Such devices are aimed at providing a more natural interface for which humans to interact with machines. In this research, we propose a new approach to the development of a touch interface through the use of a surface-mounted sensor which allows one to convert hard surfaces into touch pads. We first develop, using mechanical vibration theories, a mathematical model that simulates the output signals derived from sensors mounted on a physical surface. Utilizing this model, we determine the hardware required for this research. We then develop a source localization algorithm based on an all-pole filter model for location template matching that extracts the dominant frequencies of the tap. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with existing approaches and verified both in a synthetic as well as a real environment for the localization of a finger tap on a touch interface. In addition, we explore the time-difference-of-arrival based methods for source localization and implement a real-time wireless source localization prototype.

A method for the solution of certain non – linear problems in least squares
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of least square problems with non-linear normal equations is solved by an extension of the standard method which insures improvement of the initial solution, which can also be considered an extension to Newton's method.
The Laplacian Pyramid as a Compact Image Code
Peter J. Burt,Edward H. Adelson +1 more
TL;DR: A technique for image encoding in which local operators of many scales but identical shape serve as the basis functions, which tends to enhance salient image features and is well suited for many image analysis tasks as well as for image compression.
The generalized correlation method for estimation of time delay
TL;DR: In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimator is developed for determining time delay between signals received at two spatially separated sensors in the presence of uncorrelated noise, where the role of the prefilters is to accentuate the signal passed to the correlator at frequencies for which the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is highest and suppress the noise power.
