Abstract

See full text

An acoustic object detector for detecting presence of an acoustic signal is provided. The acoustic object detector includes a number of bandpass filters. Each bandpass filter is configured to convert an input signal into an analog signal within a frequency band. The acoustic object detector also includes a number of spike generating circuits each coupled to the respective bandpass filter. Each spike generating circuit is configured to generate a series of spike signals based upon an adaptive threshold for the analog signal. The acoustic object detection further includes a decision circuit configured to generate a digital signal at a time-frequency point from the series of spike signals.
