• Sampling and Reconstruction on a Diamond Grid and the Tetrahedral Digital Waveguide Mesh

Publication Year: 2013, Page(s):925 - 928
| | PDF (1450 KB) | HTML

It is shown that half of the points on the diamond grid are redundant for sampling and reconstructing a bandlimited 3-D signal. This redundancy is then exploited to show that the tetrahedral digital waveguide mesh requires four times more computational density and twice the memory storage for the same approximation as a finite difference scheme on the face-centered cubic lattice.

In this letter, we propose a reduced-complexity implementation of partial interference cancellation group decoder with successive interference cancellation (PIC-GD-SIC) by employing the theory of displacement structures. The proposed algorithm exploits the block-Toeplitz structure of the effective matrix and chooses an ordering of the groups such that the zero-forcing matrices associated with the ...

We propose a verification-based Interval-Passing (IP) algorithm for iteratively reconstruction of nonnegative sparse signals using parity check matrices of low-density parity check (LDPC) codes as measurement matrices. The proposed algorithm can be considered as an improved IP algorithm by further incorporation of the mechanism of verification algorithm. It is proved that the proposed algorithm pe...

| | PDF (630 KB) | HTML

This work proposes a novel framework to extract compact and discriminative features from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals for human identification based on sparse representation of local segments. Specifically, local segments extracted from an ECG signal are projected to a small number of basic elements in a dictionary, which is learned from training data. A final representation is extracted by per... View full abstract»

• Matrix-Based Ramanujan-Sums Transforms

Publication Year: 2013, Page(s):941 - 944
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| | PDF (1426 KB) | HTML

In this letter, we study the Ramanujan Sums (RS) transform by means of matrix multiplication. The RS are orthogonal in nature and therefore offer excellent energy conservation capability. The 1-D and 2-D forward RS transforms are easy to calculate, but their inverse transforms are not defined in the literature for non-even function $({rm mod}~ {rm...

The extended MFLRT is applied for precipitation detection from noisy measurements of the received signal level (RSL), taken from commercial microwave links (ML). The extended MFLRT shows improve...

A discussion is carried out on the unique localization region with the TDoA measurements subjected to a bounded error. For both 2-D and 3-D, error bounds have been found, beyond which, there is no existence of the uniq...

Potential interest regions in the infrared image are obtained by a target mask that is obtained using the one-bit transform in a local way. The histograms of the original image and the masked image are compared and the histogram region that remains unchanged is used to ob...

Additionally, as low-complex alternatives, the letter considers two popular suboptimal estimators, such as the soft-limiter and the blanker. The optimum MMSE thresholds for these suboptimal estimators are obtained by iteratively solving fixed p...

In this letter, we evaluate the energy efficiency of a wireless network-coded cooperative system where multiple nodes cooperatively transmit their information to a common destination. The energy consumption of the transmission and reception circuits is taken into account. It is shown that network coding can provide significant energy savings compared to direct transmission and traditional cooperat... View full abstract»

In wireless communication, the transmitter (Alice) can send artificial noise (AN) to interfere with the eavesdropper (Eve). This letter considers the AN MIMO scenario, i.e., both Alice and the legitimate receiver (Bob) are equipped with multiple antennas. A closed-form expression for the lower bound of secrecy capacity is obtained. It is proved that water-filling is the optimal power allocation sc... View full abstract»

We propose an eigenvalue based technique to solve the Homogeneous Quadratic Constrained Quadratic Programming problem (HQCQP) with at most three constraints which arise in many signal processing problems. Semi-Definite Relaxation (SDR) is the only known approach and is computationally intensive. We study the performance of the proposed fast eigen approach through simulations in the context of MIMO...

• 3-D Motion Estimation for Visual Saliency Modeling

Publication Year: 2013, Page(s):972 - 975
Cited by:  Papers (2)  |  Patents (1)
| | PDF (721 KB) | HTML

Visual saliency is a probabilistic estimate of how likely a spatial area in an image or video frame is to attract human visual attention relative to other areas. When existing bottom-up saliency models aggregate low-level features to construct a plausible saliency map, only 2-D motion cues are used as motion features, even though videos typically capture dynamic 3-D scenes. In this paper, we intro... View full abstract»

We introduce novel diffusion based adaptive estimation strategies for distributed networks that have significantly less communication load and achieve comparable performance to the full information exchange configurations. After local estimates of the desired data is produced in each node, a single bit of information (or a reduced dimensional data vector) is generated using certain random projecti...

In this letter, in order to outperform the existing method for unrestricted polar quantizer (UPQ) design in terms of signal to quantization noise ratio, the asymptotic approximations of Rayleigh distributed function are applied to all magnitude regions of the UPQ, except to the last one. Given the constraint, the UPQ is designed to provide the minimum of the asymptotic mean-squared error distortio... View full abstract»

Higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD), a natural multilinear extension of the matrix SVD, computes the orthonormal spaces associated with different modes of the tensor. It is widely employed for feature extraction, dimensionality reduction etc. However, due to the vast quantities of tensor entries involved in calculation, it inevitably suffers from high computational cost, especially w...

This letter presents an image deformation method based on Moving Regularized Least Squares optimization. The user controls the deformation by simply choosing a set of point handles in the input image, and also the target positions that the source point handles should be deformed to. The deformation function in our method is nonrigid and specified in a functional space, more specifically a reproduc... View full abstract»

We propose a novel motion saliency framework using DCT coefficients and motion vectors as features from MPEG-2 videos. The DCT coefficients of the luma and chroma components are used to calculate the spatial saliency of a frame while the motion vectors are utilized to refine it. Spatio-temporal similarity maps are calculated separately in order to cater to tracking shots. Results show that the pro... View full abstract»
