Combination of Robust Algorithm and Head-Tracking for a Feedforward Active Headrest

Active headrest can reduce the low-frequency noise around ears based on the principle of active noise control. This paper presents a combination of robust algorithm and head-tracking for a feedforward active headrest to reduce the broadband noise for a sleeper on a high-speed train. A robust algorit...

description Active headrest can reduce the low-frequency noise around ears based on the principle of active noise control. This paper presents a combination of robust algorithm and head-tracking for a feedforward active headrest to reduce the broadband noise for a sleeper on a high-speed train. A robust algorithm based on the feedforward active noise control is proposed to improve the noise control performance during head rotations. The head-tracking system with infrared rangefinders tracks the head position based on the Kalman filter to further improve system performance with head movements. Experiments were conducted on a model of a sleeper on a high-speed train. The experimental results show that the proposed active headrest system effectively controls broadband noise with head movements and rotations.
