This presentation discusses the advantages and limitations of using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to quantify the similarity between measurements of different weldings. In this project, machine vibrations and airborne sound occurring during Ultrasonic sheet Metal Welding are recorded, using two laser Doppler vibrometers and a microphone. The goal of the project is to get a better understanding of the processes that occur during […]

This talk will address the musical blind source separation problem: given multiple instrument tracks recorded together, how can each be isolated from the others given no additional knowledge about the instrument locations or sounds? There are many advantages to solving the problem: live performances can convey the energy of the performers, and the sound of […]
