Abstract:
Signal processing in Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks (WASN) is based on a software framework for hosting the algorithms as well as on a set of wireless connected devices representing the hardware. Each of the nodes contributes memory, processing power, communication bandwidth and some sensor information for the tasks to be solved on the network. In this paper we present our MARVELO framework for distributed signal processing. It is intended for transforming existing centralized implementations into distributed versions. To this end, the software only needs a block-oriented implementation, which MARVELO picks-up and distributes on the network. Additionally, our sensor node hardware and the audio interfaces responsible for multi-channel recordings are presented.
