• ### From Finite-System Entropy to Entropy Rate for a Hidden Markov Process

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):517 - 520
Cited by:  Papers (11)
| | PDF (146 KB) | HTML

A recent result presented the expansion for the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process (HMP) as a power series in the noise variable epsi. The coefficients of the expansion around the noiseless (epsi=0) limit were calculated up to 11th order, using a conjecture that relates the entropy rate of an HMP to the entropy of a process of finite length (which is calculated analytically).

• ### Implicit MIMO Channel Estimation Without DC-Offset Based on ZCZ Training Sequences

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):521 - 524
Cited by:  Papers (8)
| | PDF (163 KB) | HTML

In this letter, an implicit direct current (dc) free multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel estimation scheme is proposed by employing a set of zero correlation zone (ZCZ) training sequences. The new implicit MIMO channel estimation scheme includes, as a special case, the conventional implicit single-input single-output (SISO) channel estimation scheme, which is also considered and analyzed...

• ### A Semidefinite Relaxation Approach to MIMO Detection for High-Order QAM Constellations

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):525 - 528
Cited by:  Papers (84)  |  Patents (1)
| | PDF (484 KB) | HTML

A new and conceptually simple semidefinite relaxation approach is proposed for MIMO detection in communication systems employing high-order QAM constellations. The new approach affords improved detection performance compared to existing solutions of comparable worst-case complexity order, which is nearly cubic in the dimension of the transmitted symbol vector and independent of the constellation o...

• ### Design of Complex FIR Filters With Reduced Group Delay Error Using Semidefinite Programming

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):529 - 532
Cited by:  Papers (17)
| | PDF (171 KB) | HTML

This letter proposes an improved method for designing complex finite impulse response (FIR) filters with reduced group delays using semidefinite programming. A key step in the proposed method is to directly impose a group delay constraint, which is formulated as a linear matrix inequality constraint with some reasonable approximations. The main advantage of the proposed design method is the signif... View full abstract»

• ### Orthonormal Hilbert-Pair of Wavelets With (Almost) Maximum Vanishing Moments

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):533 - 536
Cited by:  Papers (29)
| | PDF (197 KB) | HTML

An orthonormal Hilbert-pair consists of a pair of conjugate-quadrature-filter (CQF) banks such that the equivalent wavelet function of both banks are approximate Hilbert transforms of each other. We found that the celebrated orthonormal wavelets of Daubechies, which have maximum vanishing-moment (VM), cannot be used to construct good Hilbert-pairs. In this letter, we reduce the number of VM by one... View full abstract»

• ### Decomposition of Toeplitz Matrices via Convex Optimization

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):537 - 540
Cited by:  Papers (3)
| | PDF (132 KB) | HTML

We point out that autocovariance functions of moving average processes of any given order m can be characterized via a linear matrix inequality (LMI). This LMI-condition can be used to decompose any Toeplitz autococovariance matrix into a sum of a singular Toeplitz covariance plus the autocovariance matrix of a moving average process of order m and of maximal variance. The decomposition is unique ... View full abstract»

• ### On the Fourier Transform of Finite Chirps

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):541 - 544
Cited by:  Papers (16)
| | PDF (155 KB) | HTML

In this letter, closed-form expressions for the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a finite chirp are derived. It is shown that when the normalized chirp rate is coprime with the chirp length, then the DFT of a finite chirp is again a finite chirp with magnitude, chirp rate, and carrier frequency appropriately scaled. In particular, when the normalized chirp rate is of unit value, then the DFT of... View full abstract»

• ### On the Fractional Wideband and Narrowband Ambiguity Function in Radar and Sonar

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):545 - 548
Cited by:  Papers (6)
| | PDF (171 KB) | HTML

We construct the wideband ambiguity function for signals represented by their fractional Fourier transforms. Because the reflected signal must be represented as a Doppler scaled version of the transmitted signal, this wideband form of ambiguity does not enjoy many of the same properties as the narrowband form (which is formed from a Doppler shifted version of the signal). We present the general re... View full abstract»

Using the group theory, we formulate integral invariants of projection data in fan-beam and cone-beam computed tomography (CT), which can be applied to sense an object motion and detect a contrast bolus arrival View full abstract»

• ### Visual Entropy Gain for Wavelet Image Coding

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):553 - 556
Cited by:  Papers (22)  |  Patents (2)
| | PDF (878 KB) | HTML

Wavelet image coding exhibits a robust error resilience performance by utilizing a naturally layered bitstream construction over a band-limited channel. In this letter, a new measure that appears to provide a better assessment of visual entropy for comparing and evaluating progressive image coders is defined based on a visual weight over the wavelet domain. This visual weight is characterized by t... View full abstract»

• ### $cal H_infty$FIR Filters for Linear Continuous-Time State–Space Systems

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):557 - 560

| | PDF (170 KB) | HTML

In this letter, we propose a new Hscrinfin filter (HF) with a finite impulse response (FIR) structure for linear continuous-time state-space systems. This filter is called the Hscr infin FIR filter (HFF). The upper bound for an Hscrinfin performance criterion is derived and then minimized among the filters with linearity, FIR structure, and quasideadbeat property. ... View full abstract»

• ### Data Adaptive Median Filters for Signal and Image Denoising Using a Generalized SURE Criterion

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):561 - 564
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| | PDF (184 KB) | HTML

Due to its effectiveness for removing heavy-tail noise and preserving abrupt structures hidden in noisy data, median filtering has long been a popular tool for signal restoration. In practice, an important issue of applying median filtering is the choice of the span. In this letter, we develop a data adaptive criterion for choosing this span. This criterion is derived using the generalized SURE te... View full abstract»

• ### Signal Waveform's Optimal-under-Restriction Design for Active Sensing

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):565 - 568
Cited by:  Papers (48)
| | PDF (248 KB) | HTML

We consider Signal Waveform's Optimal-under-Restriction Design (SWORD) for active sensing. In the presence of colored interference and noise with known statistical properties, waveform optimization for active sensors such as radar can significantly increase the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio needed for much improved target detection. However, the so-obtained optimal waveforms can result i... View full abstract»

• ### Empirical Lower Bound on the Bitrate for the Transparent Memoryless Coding of Wideband LPC Parameters

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):569 - 572
Cited by:  Papers (5)
| | PDF (158 KB) | HTML

In this letter, we determine empirical lower bounds on the bitrate required to transparently code linear predictive coding (LPC) parameters derived from wideband speech. This is achieved via extrapolation of the operating distortion-rate curve of an unconstrained vector quantizer that is trained using artificial vectors generated by a Gaussian mixture model. Memoryless coding is considered and two... View full abstract»

This letter presents a new approach to enhance speech feature estimation in the log spectral domain under noisy environments. A mixture of linear dynamic models with an architecture similar to the so-called mixture of experts (ME) is investigated to describe the clean speech feature distribution parametrically. Switching Kalman filters are adapted to the proposed model, and they estimate the clean... View full abstract»
