    ABSTRACT

    We consider nonparametric adaptive spectral analysis of complex-valued data sequences with possibly missing samples occurring in arbitrary patterns. We will present two high-resolution spectral estimation algorithms: the Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA) and the Sparse Learning via Iterative Minimization (SLIM) method. Both algorithms are easy to use in practical applications since they are user parameter free. Both can be used to significantly improve the spectral estimation performance, including enhanced resolution and reduced sidelobe levels. Moreover, we have considered fast implementations of these algorithms using the Conjugate Gradient (CG) technique and the Gohberg-Semencul-type (GS) formula. Our proposed implementations fully exploit the structure of the steering matrices and maximize the usage of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), resulting in much lower computational complexities as well as much reduced memory requirements. The effectiveness of the adaptive spectral estimation algorithms is demonstrated via several numerical examples including both 1-D spectral estimation and 2-D synthetic aperture radar imaging and automatic target recognition examples.

    Achieving better performance without significant increase in energy consumption is a challenging design consideration in 5G networks. We start off with a quick overview of energy savings in base stations, energy efficient cognitive and cooperative communications and energy-efficient methods for BS sleeping and cell zooming in multi-tier cellular networks. We will then consider energy harvesting as an enabling technology to achieve the dual target of reducing energy consumption in base stations and removing the constraint of limited battery life in low power wireless devices for 5G networks. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of different energy harvesting techniques and challenges associated with them.

  •   Underwater acoustic communications: Requirements, technical challenges, recent accomplishments, and future efforts

     

    T. C. Yang

     

    ABSTRACT

    Underwater acoustic communications have received a lot of attentions recently because it removes the high cost of deploying long tether lines under the water and makes it possible to install an underwater sensor network someday in the future.  However, reliable high data-rate point-to-point underwater acoustic communication still faces many technically challenges, noting that the underwater acoustic channel is very different from the radio frequency (RF) communication channel, and one cannot directly apply the techniques developed for RF communications to the underwater channels.  The underwater channel is different from the RF channels in the following aspects: First, the underwater channel is severely bandwidth limited because of the sound attenuation by water and interactions with ocean surface and bottom.  Second, the sound travels in multi-paths with delay spread covering often hundreds of symbols, causing extensive inter-symbol interference. Third, some channels have very short coherence time (or large Doppler spread) due to sound scattering from the complex time-varying oceanographic processes and ocean surface waves, making channel tracking difficult. Fourth, the Doppler-shift ratio in underwater is several orders higher than that in the RF channels, due to the relatively low sound speed compared with the speed of light, making symbol synchronization difficult .  One finds that every ocean is kind of different from the other ocean, and different from itself at different times. How does one system (acoustic modem) work for all oceans?  This talk will give an overview of the underwater sound channel physics, and review various approaches to acoustic communication processing, including physics based approaches to mitigate the environmental influence on communication performance.  While reliable high-data rate can be achieved and modeled today with multiple receivers, current effort is toward reliable methods for a single receiver to be used in underwater acoustic networks and commercial applications. The talk will also address some experimental efforts and point out some unsolved problems that require future efforts.

     GARCH Models and Their Applications to Speech Enhancement and Sea-Mine Detection in Sonar Images

    Prof. Israel Cohen

    Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion

    Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel

      ABSTRACT

    Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models are widely used in various financial applications such as risk management, option pricing, foreign exchange, and the term structure of interest rates. They explicitly parameterize the time-varying volatility in terms of past conditional variances and past squared innovations (prediction errors), while taking into account excess kurtosis (i.e., heavy tail behavior) and volatility clustering, two important characteristics of financial time-series.

     

    In this talk, I will present GARCH models in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain for speech enhancement, and multidimensional GARCH models for sea-mine detection in sonar Images. I show that speech signals in the STFT domain are characterized by heavy tailed distributions and volatility clustering. I describe speech enhancement algorithms, which are based on GARCH modeling, and demonstrate their improved performance compared to using conventional supergaussian modeling and the decision-directed method.  Next I show that the multidimensional GARCH model generalizes the casual Gauss Markov random field (GMRF) model, and present a matched subspace detector (MSD) for detecting sea mines in sonar Images.  Experimental results demonstrate that reduced false alarm rate can be achieved without compromising the detection rate by using an MSD under GARCH clutter modeling, rather than GMRF clutter modeling.

    Title:  3D Real-Time Measurement and Its Application of the Dynamic Inconstant Object
    Authors:  Qian Zhao, Xinya Xu
    Affiliation:  (School of Communication and Information Engineering Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  3D real-time measurement of the dynamic inconstant object is one of the most significant and promising modern methods. Currently existing methods also have their own characteristics and advantages, but they are single and limited. Based on the actual development situation of 3D measurement technology, five typical 3D optical measurement methods are summarized, and the triple-frequency color fringe projection profilometry are combined to develop the experiment for monitoring the deformation of the observed colliery slope. The results demonstrate that the method can more accurately and effectively obtain 3D height information of the colliery slope.

    Title:  Low Complexity Texture Mode Decision Method for 3D-HEVC
    Authors:  Yuxin Song, Kebin Jia, Qiang Wu
    Affiliation:  (College of Electronic Information & Control Engineering Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  High efficiency video coding (HEVC) based 3D video coding (3D-HEVC) is the latest 3D video coding standard under development. In 3D-HEVC, most of coding units (CU) select merge modes as their best modes. However, they still have to check a large number of irrelevant candidate modes in mode decision process, which brings significant complexity. In this paper, we propose a low complexity texture mode decision method for dependent texture views. First, Coding modes of inter-view reference group and upper-depth CU are used to obtain a coarse combination of merge mode coded CUs in the current frame. Then, skip mode coded CUs are distinguished from merge mode coded CUs in the combination. CUs in the combination only check limited modes in mode decision process according to their determined modes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve average 11.2% of encoding time saving and 69.4% of complexity reduction with negligible rate distortion performance loss.

    Title:  A New Virtual View Synthesis Method Using SLIC-Based Hole Filling
    Authors:  Xiaotian Qiao1, 2, Dongxiao Li1, 2, Juerong Wu1, 2, Lianghao Wang1, 2, Ming Zhang1, 2
    Affiliation:  (1College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, China 2Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Information Network Technology, China)
    Abstract:  This paper presents a new virtual view synthesis method with depth map preprocessing and superpixel segmentation based hole filling. First, in order to reduce the ghosting artifacts caused by the misalignment between depth and texture, the depth image is preprocessed through expanding the regions of foreground objects. Virtual view images are then generated using the depth-image-based rendering algorithm. Second, the original reference color image is segmented into superpixels using simple linear iterative clustering algorithm. Finally, an oriented hole filling method is utilized to fill the disoccluded regions. For each hole pixel, instead of using exemplar patches, a set of candidate superpixels is selected from SLIC segmentations to form the sample space, and the best matching superpixel with the minimum cost is chosen to fill the hole. Experimental results demonstrate that comparing with the state-of-the-art methods, the subjective and objective quality of the synthesized virtual view images are substantially improved with the proposed method.

    Title:  Point Clouds Registration with Surfaces of Low Curvatures
    Authors:  Juan Li, Guang Jiang
    Affiliation:  (State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi’an 710071, Shaanxi, P. R. China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a novel method for point clouds registration. In point clouds, there always exist a large number of surfaces with low curvatures. Let the surface locate in an OXYZ coordinate system, if we rotate the mean normal of the surface parallel with the Z axis, the 3D surface can be projected to 2D image via orthographic projection. Then we can detect and describe SIFT features in the 2D image. For two point clouds, we can find matched features between these 2D images. As we know the relationship between 2D images and 3D point clouds, the corresponding 3D points between different point clouds can be obtained. Further, we use the SVD method to estimate the transformation parameters between two point clouds. Moreover, in order to obtain the parameters robustly, the RANSAC method is combined to reject error matchings. The proposed method is able to register the point clouds effectively, and it is demonstrated in experiments.

    Title:  A Spatial Weighting based Interpolation Method for DIBR  
    Authors:   Hui Wang, Zongju Peng, Renzhi Jiao, Chengkai Sheng, Fen Chen 
    Affiliation:  (Faculty of Information Science and Engineering, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China)
    Abstract:  The DIBR is a novel technology used for generating virtual views has been widely used recently. However, due to imperfect depth maps, annoying artifacts appear in the virtual view images. To generate high quality intermediate virtual view images, this paper proposes a spatial weighting based interpolation method. The weighted average of mapped pixels near the integer pixel is adopted as the final interpolation value. The weighted factors of each mapped pixel are determined by the distance between its position and the current integer pixel’s position, and its depth value. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method acquires a satisfying rendering effect both subjectively and objectively.

    Abstract:  To ensure the safe operation of dangerous experiment teaching, a three-dimensional (3D) virtual experiment system was developed based on OpenSceneGraph (OSG), which would provide a safe and simple virtual lab environment for students. The virtual scene was rendered and managed through 3D engine OSG. Firstly, the system’s architecture and scene organization were analyzed and designed. Secondly, a general experiment data format was designed and the operation processing method was realized, which could be used to customize applications for various experimental items easily. The application results show that this system had good performance on real-time and operability, and could make the students to master the security measures and experimental procedures efficiently.

    Title:  Research on Scattered Points Cloud Denoising Algorithm
    Authors:  Fu Yan, Zhai Jinlei
    Affiliation:  College of Computer Science and Technology Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China
    Abstract:  The raw data of cloud produced by 3D scanning tools contains additive noise from various resources. We study the related research at home and abroad. Aiming at the problem that the bilateral filtering algorithm can't well denoise the points data in the flat region and save the model geometric feature at the same time, this paper introduces the bilateral filter in points g algorithm’s principle and its advantage and disadvantage. Then we improve the search method of any points’ k neighbors of K-D tree and put forward a points cloud denoising algorithm based on feature. This algorithm absorbs the advantages of the bilateral filtering algorithm in image processing and the plane projection algorithm, which can ideally smooth the flat region and can keep the model geometric feature of detail region. At last, we prove the correctness and effectiveness of this paper’s denoising algorithm by the experiments.

    Authors:  Zheng-yang Sun, Chang-chun Bao, Mao-shen Jia, Bing Bu, Meng-fang Zha
    Affiliation:  (Speech and Audio Signal Processing Laboratory School of Electronic Information and Control Engineering   Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  With the development of 3D audio, distance rendering in    multi-channel spatial audio is becoming a focused issue. In this paper, a sound field reproduction method with distance information based on Ambisonics is proposed. By utilizing Image Method (IM) in Ambisonics, propagating function with distance information, which is expressed via acoustic intensity and Direct-to-Reverberant energy Ratio (DRR), is obtained. Combined it with variable separation, the loudspeaker driving signal with distance information can be derived eventually. The experimental results show that the proposed method validly reconstructed the target sound field and achieved the purpose of distance rendering.

    Title:  Integrating Codebook and Wiener Filtering for Speech Enhancement
    Authors:  Dong-ming Zhang, Chang-chun Bao, Feng Deng 
    Affiliation:  (Speech and Audio Signal Processing Laboratory School of Electronic Information and Control Engineering Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a speech enhancement approach integrating codebook and Wiener filtering. Codebook-based method could reserve speech spectrum well, but leaves a large amount of residual noise. Signal to noise ratio (SNR)-estimation-based Wiener filtering method could reduce noise well, but leads to relatively serious speech distortion. To solve the problem, the gain functions of the above two methods are weighted to obtain an integrated gain function by utilizing a sigmoid function related to a posteriori SNR. The performance tests show that the performance of the proposed approach is better than codebook-based method in reducing the background noise and SNR-estimation-based algorithm in retaining speech spectrum.

    Title:  Three-Dimensional Sound Field Reproduction Based on Multi-Resolution Sparse Representation
    Authors:  Guangfei Zhang, Qinghua Huang, Kai Liu
    Affiliation:  (Key Laboratory of Specialty Fiber and Optical Access Networks Shanghai University, Shanghai, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, a multi-resolution sparse representation method is proposed to reproduce three-dimensional (3D) Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) sound fields. The multi-resolution dictionaries are constructed from low to high spatial angle resolution. Based on these dictionaries, the positions of virtual plane wave sources are estimated by complex least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (CLASSO) algorithm. The proposed method can effectively localize primary sources and reduce the computation complexity. Finally the signals of virtual plane waves are adjusted by a debiasing step to derive proper loudspeaker weights. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the 3D reproduction performance with a few active loudspeakers and enlarge the size of the spatial sweet spot.

    Title:  A Realtime Analysis/Synthesis Gammatone Filterbank
    Authors:  Youwei Yang, Yi Jiang, Runsheng Liu, Dongmei Li
    Affiliation:  (Dept. of Electronic Engineering Tsinghua University, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:     Gammatone filterbanks are widely used in computational auditory models for modeling the peripheral filtering function of the cochlea. However, the high computational complexity and time consumption limits its usage in portable acoustic applications. To address this issue, a realtime and efficient digital implementation of Gammatone filterbank is proposed. The decomposed signal can be resynthesized by summation directly. We systematically examine the Gammatone filterbank with perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI) , signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and computational complexity. Evaluations and comparisons show that the proposed method has good performance and less computational complexity.

    Title:  Inverse Truncated Mixing Matrix (ITMM) Algorithm Application to Underdetermined Convolutive Blind Speech Sources Separation
    Authors:  Peng Tianliang, Chen Yang 
    Affiliation:  (School of Information Science and Engineering,  Southeast University, Nanjing, China)
    Abstract:  Inverse Truncated Mixing Matrix (ITMM) is a powerful method for underdetermined instantaneous blind source separation [1]. In this paper, we generalize ITMM algorithm to underdetermined convolutive blind source separation case. The proposed algorithm can be divided into two steps. The first step is the mixing filters estimation. The convolutive mixture can become an instantaneous mixture in time-frequency (TF) domain under some narrowband assumptions. Then, we used cluster method to estimate mixing matrix in every frequency bin. The second step is the source recovery part, we used ITMM method to mixing matrix in every frequency bin to source recovery in TF domain. Experimental evaluations are gained in artificial Room Impulse Responses (RIRs) environments, compared with conventional algorithms, the ITMM algorithm can separate speech sources to a higher signal-to-interference ratio (SIR).

    Title:  Combining Compressive Sensing with Particle Filter for Tracking Moving Wideband Sound Sources
    Authors:  Fangli Ning1,  Dan Gao2, Junru Niu2,
    Affiliation:   (1School of Mechanical Engineering  Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, Shaanxi, P. R. China 2School of Communication Engineering 
    Abstract:  Recent work has demonstrated the superiority of compressive sensing (CS) for the sound source localization. Using the microphone array, the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is obtained by using the wideband extensions of CS technique. For tracking moving wideband sound sources, a method combined CS with particle filter (PF) algorithm is proposed. Each source is approximated by a set of particles with different weights assigned. Based on the DOA estimation, the kernel density estimator is as the likelihood function to estimate the probability of particle position. The uniform linear array and random linear array are employed in the study. For the uniform linear array, the spatial aliasing is the main offset for DOA estimation using CS method. The result shows that the spatial aliasing is disappeared and the tracking trajectory is consistent with the true source trajectory. For the random linear array, the offset at endfire is the main offset for DOA estimation using CS method.

    Authors:  Research of Sidelobe Suppression of RDA and CSA Imaging Algorithms
    Affiliation:  (Speech and Audio Signal Processing Laboratory School of Electronic Information and Control Engineering,  Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  Codebook-based speech enhancement approach is an effective method for reducing non-stationary noise. In view of the inaccurate problem of estimating the short-term predictor parameters of the speech and noise, this paper proposes a codebook-based maximum posteriori probability (MAP) speech enhancement approach by combining MAP estimation and codebook-based method. Based on the prior information and inter-frame correlation of the short-term predictor parameters, the paper develops both memoryless and memory-based MAP predictor parameters estimators which optimally get the spectral shapes and the corresponding excitation variances. In order to further improve the accuracy of the parameters, a novel approach of estimating the excitation variances is proposed for the memory-based case. Experimental results show that, in comparison with the reference method, the proposed method can get better performance under various noise conditions.

    Abstract:  This paper presents an improved reconstruction algorithm of super-resolution images using the compressed sensing theory. In particular, Gaussian low-pass filters are proposed to reduce the coherence between the observation matrix and transform matrix for signal representation such that the problem of super-resolution can be formulated as a proper CS reconstruction problem.

    Title:  An Improved Exposure Fusion of Image Pairs with Window Constraint
    Authors:  Mali Yu, Hai Zhang
    Affiliation:  (School of Information Science & Technology Jiujiang University, Jiujiang, China)
    Abstract:  The real scene often has too High Dynamic Range (HDR) to be captured in a single common digital image. Exposure fusion is a simple, direct and effective method to transform multiple Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images under different exposure settings into a single HDR-like LDR image. A pair of exposure bracketed images often contains insufficient image information of the scene, so the classic methods generate undesirable results especially in the transition regions. In this paper we introduce a novel optimization model for adjusting the weight maps defined by the Mertens’ method. Our weight-adjustment method is performed on overlapping windows all over the pixels in the image domain. Using this method, the global visual effect and the local detail can be preserved even in challenging pair of images that contains insufficient information. Experimental results demonstrate that our method obtain natural images. Comparisons with the Mertens’ method show that our algorithm can generate better quality images.

    Title:  Improved Overlapped Block Motion Compensation Using Adaptive Weighting Matrices Design for 3D Wavelet-based Scalable Video Coding
    Authors:  Ying Chen, Guizhong Liu
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic and Information Engineering Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  Recently, scalable video compression using three-dimensional (3D) discrete wavelet transform has become a promising competitor in the scalable video coding (SVC) field. Overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC) is considered to be a key component of most efficient block-based motion estimation and compensation technologies for 3D wavelet-based SVC. However, the conventional OBMC approach globally smoothes out the prediction intensity field with the uniform window function for all the same-sized blocks, with the result that sharp features such as blocky edges are blurred or over-smoothed in the motion-compensated prediction. In this paper, we propose an improved OBMC scheme that adopts adpative weighting matrices for the case of variable block size motion compensation. Specifically, we resort to a parametric solution in closed form to express the optimal weights for the OBMC windows, based on the spatially-variant prediction of motion vectors. For our OBMC weighting matrices, the proposed interpolation algorithm is more effective in enhancing the coding performance than the most widely used interpolation algorithms, along with both the theoretical and empirical analyses. Experimental results show significant improvement over existing successful 3D wavelet-based scalable video codecs in both objective and subjective quality.

    Authors:  Fu Yan, Cao Min
    Affiliation:  (College of Computer Science and Technology Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China)
    Abstract:  Image quality assessment is always a hot research topic in the field of image processingStructural Similarity Image Measurement (SSIM) is an image quality assessment algorithm with the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency and better consistence. Its evaluation of performance is better than PNSR and MSE. However, it often fails when assessing badly distorted or cross distorted images. In this paper, we proposed a new method on the improved method of SSIM and the method of based on visual region of interest combination. This improved method of SSIM takes the histogram concentration as the main structural information of an image. It used histogram concentration to calculate the fuzzy degree of the image. Finally, we can obtain the structure similarity value of the image. The experiment results show that, compared with the SSIM model, the proposed RoiHSSIM model is more close to the human visual system and can access the quality of fault images more precisely.

    Authors:  Wen Fan1, Junli Liang2, Xin Ye1, Min Li1
    Affiliation:  (1School of Automation and Information Engineering Xi’an University of Technology, Xi'an, China 2School of Electronics and Information
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a new error concealment algorithm for video/image based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Motivated by the Intra prediction in H.264/AVC, it is reasonable to assume that there is a strong spatial correlation relationship between the lost regions and their known adjacent regions. Based on the above idea, we use CCA to estimate a correlation projection matrix which utilizes the loss of macro block adjacent spatial information, then we use the projection matrix and the adjacent region to estimate missing pixel area. In addition, in order to use the spatial information efficiently, we apply the neighbor-embedding-type weight into the afore-mentioned CCA model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the subjective and objective image quality to a large extent in comparison with other existing methods.

    Abstract:  To reduce the amount of echo data in ground moving targets imaging, an imaging method of ground moving targets is proposed with compressed data based on discrete fractional Fourier transform and Compressed Sensing. Firstly, the DPCA technique is induced to cancel the clutters with the range-compression signals. Secondly, based on the sparsity of the azimuth signals of the moving targets in fractional Fourier domain, the discrete fractional Fourier transform matrix is constructed as the sparse basis matrix. Then the imaging processing of the moving targets with random down-sampled data is converted into solving an optimization problem, and also the moving parameters of moving targets are obtained by the optimal orders. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the simulation results.

    Authors:  Liu Haomiao, Ma Hongguang, Liu Zhiqiang, Xu Donghui
    Affiliation:  (Xi’an Research Institute of High Technology, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  This paper proposes a novel ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques)-like algorithm for DOD (Direction of Departure) and DOA (Direction of Arrival) estimation in bistatic MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) radar in order to reduce computational burden of conventional methods based on the fourth-order cumulant. Firstly, the fourth-order cumulant matrix of received data is computed which extends the aperture and restrains Gaussian colored noise. Secondly, considering of the high dimensions of virtual steering vector, an exchange matrix and a reduced-dimensional matrix are employed to transform the data matrix into a low dimensional space with the structure of conjugate symmetry. Thirdly, the real signal space and noise space are got from the complex covariance of virtual array. Then DOD and DOA are estimated, based on the rotational invariance techniques in the real number field. The proposed algorithm reduces the data dimensions from MN×MN to (2M-1)(2N-1), then estimates angles in the real number field, which can greatly avoid high computational cost. It also extends antenna aperture, and restrains the influence of the colored noise. The numerical simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

    Authors:  Xianwu Xu, Xiaoli Zhou, Yongqiang Cheng, Yuliang Qin
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  As a novel staring imaging technique, radar coincidence imaging (RCI) shows great potentials in various applications. However, the array position error, exists in array radar generally, has a bad influence on RCI and impairs the imaging performance extremely. In this paper, the mathematical model of RCI in the presence of array position error is established and to obtain the analytic result, the nonlinear relationship between the received signal and array position error is approximated linearly by the first-order Taylor expansion. Thus, the alternating iterative imaging algorithm is designed to compensate the array position error based on basis pursuit. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Abstract:   As the traditional radar system can’t quickly and effectively identify group targets, this paper uses a millimeter-wave radar system to identify, sort and track the sea fleet targets. The radar scans the sea surface firstly to get the DBS image, then the image is processed by the CFAR processor to detect the fleet targets, and finally according to various parameters provided by the INS (inertial navigation system), the positional relationship between the radar and a specific target can be worked out. Then the radar will set the servo system so that the antenna can beam the targets area and then the radar can go to monopulse tracking quickly. The results show that: the system and algorithm proposed by this paper can identify and sort the group targets and track the specific target quickly and steadily. It is suitable for the airborne or missile fields.

    Title:  SAR Moving-Target Detection Using Difference between Two Looks
    Authors:  Junfeng Wang
    Affiliation:  (Dept. of Electronic Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China)
    Abstract:  A novel scheme is presented to detect moving targets in SAR images. In the two looks, the images of a stationary target are similar, but those of a moving target are different. So, moving targets can be detected using the difference between the two looks. First, the complex image is compensated to remove the shifting and the blurring of the stationary ground due to the velocity error of the radar. This will reduce the loss of the similarity between the two looks of the stationary ground. Then, the Doppler spectrum is halved, each half is used to obtain a look, and the two looks are despeckled to reduce the loss of their similarity. Finally, the normalized difference between the two looks is calculated, smoothed, absolutized, and thresholded. This scheme is effective for targets moving in range, azimuth, or both. In addition, it is easy to implement and efficient in computation.

    Authors:  Jing WANG1,2, Yongyuan WEN1, Weidong WANG1, Zhiqiang GUO1
    Affiliation:  (1School of Information Science and Engineering Yunnan University,Kunming, China 2Dept. of Mathematic Sciences
    Abstract:  This paper presents three algorithms to suppress sidelobe of images produced by both RDA and CSA imaging algorithms. The first is windowed RDA (W-RDA) and windowed CSA(W-CSA) which decreases the sidelobe and increases the signal-to-noise ratio. The second is spatially variant apodization RDA and CSA (SVA-RDA and SVA-CSA) which weighs the amplitude of each point in frequency domain and then suppresses sidelobe effectively, and keeps good main lobe resolution at the same time. The third is a combination of the previous two as WSVA-RDA and WSVA-CSA which overcomes the deficiency of the previous two and has a better result. The paper puts forward two parameters named Peak-Sidelobe Ratio (PSR) and Peak-Image Ratio (PIR) to evaluate the sidelobe suppression effect. Simulation results prove the performance of the three methods of this paper.

    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic Science and Engineering,  National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, P. R. China)
    Abstract:   Coincidence imaging radar (CIR) can achieve super-resolution in real aperture staring radar imagery by employing temporal-spatial independent array detecting (TSIAD) signals. The characteristics of TSIAD signals are determined by the random signal waveform and the array geometry, and the imaging performance is influenced by the relative imaging position with respect to the antenna array. In this paper, the uniform spacing linear array (USLA) with the frequency random modulation (FRM) signal waveform is studied. The angular resolution limit (ARL) for the CIR system is derived based on correlation theory. The effects of the parameters on the resolution performance are investigated.  Comparison of ARL between the proposed CIR system and the real aperture radar (RAR) system is presented to validate the efficiency of the CIR system.

    Authors:  Cui Wei, Zhao Dawei, Liu Jian, Wu Shuang, Ding Jiansong
    Affiliation:  (School of Information and Electronics Engineering Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  To tackle the problem of ambiguous acquisition of Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) signal induced by more than one auto-correlation peaks, this paper proposes a novel unambiguous acquisition algorithm based on quadratic BOC (QBOC). In the proposed algorithm, two local QBOC auxiliary signals with different phase are first correlated with received signal, respectively. Then, by combing two cross-correlations, a correlated function with single peak is obtained, followed by the signal acquisition. The proposed algorithm is able to eliminate the ambiguity of the correlation function completely for arbitrary order of the BOC modulated signals and improve the value of main peak. Furthermore, compared with other methods, the proposed algorithm has better acquisition performance. Theoretical and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Authors:  Yujian Pan, Hong Zhu, Ning Tai, Xiaofa Zhang, Naichang Yuan
    Affiliation:  (College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  To further improve the performance of the two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, we propose a novel method employing the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL). In this new method the 2-D DOA estimation is divided into two independent 1-D DOA estimations which can be resolved by the SBL respectively. To avoid the negative effects on the accuracy of DOA estimation and signal reconstruction caused by grid mismatch in sparse reconstruction, the off-grid model is adopted. By exploiting the self-coherent property of signals, pair matching of elevations and azimuths is accomplished by pair matching of the two sets of reconstructed signals. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.

    Affiliation:  (Xidian University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:   Based on the Multitask Bayesian Compressive Sensing (MT-BCS) framework, a novel DOA estimation approach for planar array is proposed in this paper. Different from the traditional CS-based DOA model, where the spatial observation is characterized in one large scale matrix, to reduce the complexity, a separable observation structure is proposed, which separates the joint spatial observation into two individual parts, and thus, the large scale matrix can be split into two small scale matrices. In addition, the Multitask Bayesian Compressive Sensing framework is engaged to build a MT-BCS-based DOA estimation scheme (MT-BCS-DOA). The simulation results show the superior capability of the proposed approach.

    Abstract:  For parametric detection test, the probability of false alarm (PFA) always exceeds the preset level when the noise distribution is unknown, especially when the training data is limited. The PFA expression for parametric adaptive matched filter (PAMF) detector operating in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian clutter scenarios are lacked since the analysis becomes mathematically intractable. The bootstrap is a powerful technique for assessing the accuracy of a parameter estimator in situations where conventional techniques are not valid. The bootstrapped PAMF is carried out to compute the threshold when training data is limited. The result is outstanding when there is few training data.

    Affiliation:  (1The College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Beijing Institute of Tracking and Telecommunication
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a precorrelation direction lock loop (DiLL) scheme and a new modification factor estimation method for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. The proposed scheme executes spatial correlation before code demodulator and does not need to do code demodulation for every antenna element. It can decrease the number of code demodulator to 3 regardless of the array element number while the postcorrelation DiLL scheme requires as many as array elements. Moreover, performance can be improved for immunity of undesired signals, multipath and interference, for example, from other different direction of arrivals compared with the postcorrelation DiLL scheme. The new modification factor estimation method is based on the prompt code branch and estimated angle outputs, which are suitable for reality environments. Theory analysis and simulation results show that two schemes are equivalent when the code tracking loop is working on the ideal tracking state under interference-free environment. The proposed scheme can also be used for DS/CDMA systems.

    Affiliation:  (1College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Center of Simulation and Training
    Abstract:  The direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation accuracy is sensitive to the unknown mutual coupling in antenna array. This paper proposes an online array calibration method which jointly estimates the DOAs and the mutual coupling. Taking advantage of the Toeplitz property of mutual coupling matrix (MCM) with the uniform linear array (ULA), we handle the joint estimation problem by exploiting the block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL) framework. This method does not need the calibrating sources or the preliminary MCM. Due to the robustness of the BSBL, this method is also effective under coherent scenario. The performance of the proposed method is compared with other well-known calibration algorithms and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB). The results show that it achieves higher accuracy and resolution.

    Authors:  Kai Wang, Ling Wang, Chuang Han
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic and Information Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  The small degrees of freedom (DOFs) and low SNR of incoming signal lead to direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance degradation. A spacetime signal processing method for DOA estimation is presented. This method takes advantage of the spatial and temporal statistics of the incoming signal, expanding the dimensions of covariance matrix by increasing the time delay taps which can reduces the spatial correlation between the steering vectors of incoming signals, to improve the robustness of steering beam. The simulation and experiment results by using measured data show the excellent and stable performance of the proposed processing in the case of small degree of freedom, low SNR of incoming signal and small number of snapshots, compared with the conventional method using only spatial statistics.

    Abstract:  In order to improve the speed of the DOA estimation, an efficient MUSIC algorithm using subspace projection is proposed in this paper. In the algorithm, the covariance matrix, which causes high computational complexity in the subspace projection (SP) algorithm of subspace tracking field, is approximated to simplify the processing procedure. The proposed algorithm shows similar angle accuracy compared with the SP-MUSIC algorithm. However, it is much more computational efficient and needs less storages than the SP-MUSIC algorithm, since the proposed algorithm doesn’t require covariance matrix estimation and eigenvalue decomposition. Finally, simulation results are used to validat the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Abstract:  In this paper, the Positive constrained Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (P-LASSO) is studied for sparse support recovery using the correlation information in Compressive sensing (CS). A structural constraint is obtained for selecting the regularization parameter in the case of additive Gaussian noise. Since the measurements are finite in practice, the probability of successful recovering the sparse support is discussed. A lower bound of the probability is derived. Experimental results are provided to illustrate the validity of our main results.

    Authors:  Zhaoliang Duan, Yuling Li, Shaobo Xu
    Affiliation:  (The 54th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation Shijiazhuang, China)
    Abstract:  As the positioning accuracy of GNSS systems will degrade in the presence of electromagnetic interference, jamming detection becomes pivotal part in high-precision wireless communication systems which are conventionally accomplished by energy statistics or time-frequency transformation. In this paper, we present the spatial-frequency adaptive processing (SFAP) method which will achieve highly detecting resolution through the distribution of eigenvalues in frequency domain, and compared to the conventional methods the SFAP can accurately detect the bandwidth of multiple signals. The application of fast subspace decomposition (FSD) using Lanczos algorithm iteratively implements the eigenvalue-decomposition with lower complexity while the source enumeration is estimated simultaneously. Moreover, the proposed method still works well even in the presence of weaker clutter or stochastic errors. Computer simulation results confirm the robustness of the detecting method.

    Authors:  Haozhuo Xu, Yuan Tian, Xinjue Hu, Fangling Pu  
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic Information Wuhan University, Wuhan, China)
    Abstract:  Detection of complex human events in videos and images is a challenging problem of computer vision. The difficulty lies in constructing effective connection between human activities and specific events. In this paper we focus on dangerous human events, especially when people with handheld weapons are presented in images. By introducing Human-Object Interaction model, we are able to establish methods and systems to recognize events that are dangerous. In our approach, the process of event understanding is based on identifying dangerous objects in possible areas predicted by human body parts. The accuracy of dangerous human events understanding is improved when human body parts estimation is combined with objects detection. Utilizing a developed dangerous human events data set, we show our model and system outperform conventional event classification approaches in efficiency.

    Authors:  Zhu Hong, Pan Yu-jian, Wang Qing-ping, Tai Ning, Yuan Naichang
    Affiliation:  (College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  The millimeter wave broadband coherent radar has the capabilities of high range resolution and Doppler resolution, which provides a new approach for anti-chaff jamming. Based on the echo model of broadband coherent radar, the range Doppler two-dimensional profile of the target is derived. Then the differences of the range Doppler two-dimensional profile between the echoes of the ship and the chaff jamming are analyzed. A range Doppler two-dimensional extended target detector based on Otsu is applied to detect the target region. Three characteristic parameters based on the range Doppler two-dimensional profile are proposed to discriminate the ship and the chaff jamming. An identification method based on those characteristic parameters is presented to discriminate the chaff jamming and the ship. Experiments with measured data validate the effectiveness of the identification method via range Doppler two-dimensional profile.

    Title:  Hyperspectral Target Detection via Locality-constrained Group Sparse Representation
    Authors:  Xiaodan Zhang
    Affiliation:  (State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi’an 710071, Shaanxi, P. R. China)
    Abstract:  Target detection is an important task in hyperspectral image processing. Traditional methods usually impose a stringent assumption on the spectrum distribution of the background and targets, which cannot hold for all the practical situations. This problem can be avoided by sparsity-based method in which each test pixel is represented by a linear combination of a few samples from an overcomplete dictionary. However, classical sparsity model ignores the dictionary structure and cannot guarantee an accurate sparse representation for the test pixel. Motivated by this point, this paper proposes a locality constrained group sparse representation for target detection. It makes full use of the dictionary structure and preserves the manifold of the original data at the same time, not only ensuring that the correlated training samples belonging to the correct class are used to express the test pixel but also guaranteeing that similar spectrums of HSI pixels will have similar codes. Experimental results on real hyperspectral imagery suggest that the proposed method is more effective than conventional sparsity based algorithm and the statistics-based methods.

    Title:  ARPSO-MLE Based GNSS Anti-Spoofing Method
    Authors:  Fei Wang, Hong Li, Mingquan Lu
    Affiliation:  (Department of Electronic Engineering Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China)
    Abstract:   Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) has been used in direct position estimation in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. It can be used for anti-spoofing because it utilizes the consistency between different satellites.  In the method, how to find the optimal MLE solution is a challenge, because the likelihood function of the MLE is multimodal. In the paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used in the multimodal optimization problem. Further, attractive and repulsive PSO (ARPSO) is used to overcome the premature convergence in the basic PSO. The performance of the ARPSO is compared to that of a basic PSO and the SAGE method. The average position accuracy of different methods under scenes with 1 to 3 spoofing signals is given based on computer simulations. Results show that with initial position and time uncertainty introduced by the spoofing attack, the proposed ARPSO-MLE method for direct position estimation can provide navigation solution with accuracy better than 10 meters in the range of medium to high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under spoofing attacks.

    Abstract:  In real environment, the protocol distribution of Network traffic is imbalance, and the generalization ability of supervised learning algorithm such as algorithm to C4.5 is poor. In order to improve the classification accuracy and stability of network traffic, a network traffic classification method based on Rotation Forest was proposed. In the method, PCA was used for feature reduction and C4.5 algorithm was used to train base classifier. The experimental results show that traffic classification method based on Rotation Forest has higher accuracy and stronger generalization ability compared with C4.5 and Bagging algorithm, and more suitable for imbalanced network traffic classification.

    Title:  An Effective Method for Joint Estimation of Chirp Rates, Initial Frequencies and DOAs of Multiple LFM Signals with Sub-Nyquist Spatial-Temporal Sampling
    Authors:  Ye Chencheng, Liang Hong, Liu Huafeng
    Affiliation:  (School of Marine Science and Technology Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, P. R. China)
    Abstract:  GRCRT (Generalized Robust Chinese Remainder Theorem) allows to reconstruct multiple numbers when all the moduli have a common factor and all residue sets have errors. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on GRCRT to joint estimation of chirp rates, initial frequencies and DOAs (direction of arrivals) for multiple LFM(1inear frequency modulation) signals with sub-Nyquist spatial-temporal sampling. We first obtain the condition for ignoring the cross-terms for the convenience of estimating parameters of LFM signals. On the premise of ignoring the cross-terms, we then use GRCRT to estimate chirp rates, initial frequencies when multiple LFM signals are undersampled for multiple times in time domain and DOAs when multiple LFM signals are received at array where the distance between adjacent array elements is larger than half of the signal wavelength. Finally, the simulation results show that the newly approach based on GRCRT for multiple numbers can estimate chirp rates, initial frequencies and DOAs of multiple LFM signals accurately and robustly.

    Abstract:   Water quality assessment is very important for monitoring water sources and main canal, which is beneficial to offer strategies for the management of water quality and environment. This paper proposes a water quality assessment method based on a sparse autoencoder network. In the proposed approach, a representation model is firstly learned via a sparse autoencoder trained by unlabeled water monitoring data acquired from DanJiangKou reservoir, then a softmax classifier is trained using a small set of labeled classification data based on the China Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB3838-2002) expressed by the sparse autoencoder. The combined model is finally used to evaluate the water quality. Experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper is of high robustness and accuracy of water quality assessment, and has a good prospect of practical applications.

    Affiliation:  (College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  Micro-motion characteristics of the sea corner-reflector jamming and the ship are different. The corresponding time-frequency feature extracted from the time-frequency representation (TFR) of the target echo can be used to discriminate the corner-reflector jamming and the ship. Three parameters, including the micro motion period, the time-frequency spectrum entropy and the maximum of micro-Doppler half-period frequency difference, are applied to describe time-frequency feature of the target. An identification method based on those time-frequency feature parameters is presented to discriminate the corner-reflector jamming and the ship. Experiments with measured data validate the effectiveness of the identification method via time-frequency feature.

    Affiliation:  (1School of Communication and Information Engineering Xi’an University of Science & Technology, Xi’ an, Shaanxi 710054 China 2Department of telecommunications Engineering
    Abstract:  To improve the coal working face gas emission forecasting, an approach to determine the most suitable input factors of the coal working face gas emission forecaster is suggested based on the variance ratio testing method. The necessary eliminations or adding of input factors are determined by F test for the forecasting variances before and after elimination or adding. After investigating on all cases, the most suitable input factor combination can be identified. The measured samples of gas emission and some related factors at a coal working face are used as an example. The input factors of a RVM (Relevance Vector Machine) based nonlinear forecaster are selected by the proposed approach. It is shown that the forecasting results by the forecaster with the most suitable input factors are remarkably improved indicating that the proposed approach is feasible and effective, and the ability of nonlinear function approximation and generalization for prediction model of gas emission are further improved by the forecaster based RVM, and the mean prediction error are reduced to 1.74%.

    Title:  Unknown Stochastic Signal Detection via Non-Gaussian Noise Modeling
    Authors:  Junyu Yang, Yongqiang Cheng, Hongqiang Wang, Yubo Li, Xiaoqiang Hua 
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  Detection of weak stochastic signal under non-Gaussian background is a difficult problem, especially when the prior knowledge of the background as well as the signal is lacking. Traditional detection methods hardly consider both non-Gaussian background and lack of prior knowledge condition simultaneously. This paper proposes an unknown stochastic signal detection algorithm using information geometry tools. Firstly, we use Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to model the signals under detected. Secondly, the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) between the GMMs of signal and noise is calculated to measure the difference between the signal and noise. Thirdly, the signal is detected by comparing the KLD with the threshold. Compared to the previous detection approaches, the proposed algorithm is independent of the prior hypothesis, so that it is adaptive for non-Gaussian detection background with deficiency of prior knowledge condition. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness and performance advantage of the proposed algorithm.

    Affiliation:  (College of Electronic Science and Engineering National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, P. R. China)
    Abstract:  A particle filter tracking algorithm of multi-features fusion based on energy cumulant is proposed in this paper. This algorithm mainly focuses on the dim target tracking problem under complex background of infrared image sequence, and analyzes the different features of infrared dim targets. Since the particle filtering algorithm gives the advantage of multi-features fusion, this paper combines the four features, such as gray scale value, local entropy feature, local energy feature and high-frequency histogram feature, to calculate the particle weights which greatly improves the tracking accuracy, and uses energy cumulant algorithm to suppress the background and improve the signal to clutter ratio (SCR). The experimental results on both synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that, the proposed algorithm has substantial improvements in terms of tracking accuracy and robustness over the traditional particle filtering algorithms.

    Affiliation:  (College of Information Science and Engineering Ningbo University, Ningbo, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, a frequency estimation method based on complex correlation is proposed with TIADC (time-interleaved ADC) theory. Firstly, received signal is processed by amplification, filter, and quadrature demodulation. Then, TIADC is adopted to data acquisition, and parallel operation of complex correlation is used to deal with complex signal. Finally, signal frequency is acquired with phase angle obtained by arctangent function. Also, the detailed implementation and testification with FPGA are presented. The testification results show that the method can not only reduce time of frequency calculation, but also improve estimation precision with strong anti-interference performance.

    Affiliation:  (1Ocean Acoustic Technology Center, Institute of Acoustics,  Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China 2University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China 
    Abstract:  This paper describes the time-frequency features of the Yangtze finless porpoise acoustic signals firstly. Then an automatic identification algorithm for the Yangtze finless porpoise is presented based on Hilbert Huang Transform and BP artificial neural network. The algorithm includes two steps: feature extraction and signal identification. In the first step of the algorithm, the algorithm extracts a 10-Dimension signal feature vector based on Hilbert Huang transform, Hilbert marginal spectrum and Fourier transform. In the identification step, the BP artificial neural network is trained by using the extracted vector as input. Some experimental acoustic data files of finless porpoise are used to test the validity of the automatic identification algorithm. 238 finless porpoise acoustic signals are detected. The correct identification probability of the algorithm proposed in this paper reaches 93%, according to the human observation on the time-frequency spectrum. Because the Yangtze finless porpoise is one of the most endangered mammals in the world, so the presented method has great practical significance for surveying and protecting the Yangtze finless porpoise in the wild.

    Abstract:  In security surveillance video (SSV), foreign object occlusion is increasingly common. Automatic detection of suspicious occlusion has become important. In this paper, a banner occlusion detection approach is proposed. The proposed approach first detects the banner in the image using both color feature and shape feature. More specifically, the proposed approach exploits the HSV color space to extract the suspected banner area, which is further refined using mathematical morphology, corner detection and boundary points sampling based line-fitting. Then, the proposed approach exploits area ratio and banner location to determine banner occlusion when a banner exists. Finally, a Gradient Boost Decision Tree is constructed to learn features and predict whether there exists occlusion. Experiments are conducted using real surveillance video to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Abstract:  For ultrasound blood flow detection, a method using Kalman filter in full-depth estimation, full-depth tracking and M-mode imaging is presented. The limitations of the most used periodgram technique are discussed, while the Kalman filter can handle non-Gaussian case and high order operation. Dynamic models of full-depth estimation and tracking are described, as well as the spectrum estimation one. Because the Doppler signal is complex, the complex (or plural) Kalman filter is developed. The filter can be adaptively and efficiently realize the blood Doppler automatic detection, more accurate and more flexible in depth tracking and M-mode imaging. Experiment results indicate that blood flow tracking using Kalman filter is effective, and the M-mode image also successfully displayed.

    Abstract:  Different to other re-sampling ensemble learning, negative correlation learning trains all individual models in an ensemble simultaneously and cooperatively. In negative correlation learning, each individual could see all training data, and adapt its target function based on what the rest of individuals in the ensemble have learned. In this paper, two error bounds are introduced in negative correlation learning. One is the upper bound of error output (UBEO) which divides the training data into two groups. The other is the lower bound of error rate (LBER) which is set as a switch. Before the error rate of the learned ensemble is higher than LBER, all training data is learned by negative correlation learning. As soon as the learned ensemble has a lower error rate than LBER, negative correlation learning will be applied to one group only specified by UBEO in which data points are near to the current decision boundary. This paper will examine the differences among the individual models in the ensemble by negative correlation learning with two bounds to determine how LBER and UBEO should be adapted in negative correlation learning.

    Abstract:  This paper investigates two basic problems about the periodic pattern in pattern recognition and artificial intelligence: weak periodic pattern and the noise. We make use of stochastic resonance (SR) theory to enhance periodic pattern by transferring the noise energy to the pattern energy, which not only removes the noise but also improves the periodic pattern intensity. We firstly analyze the basic principle of the energy transfer by SR theoretically; and then, we design the optimized SR nonlinear system to enhance the periodic pattern; finally, we apply the proposed method to two popular periodic patterns, i.e., the texture pattern of the optical remote sensing image and the spatial pattern of the fingerprint image. The experiments have a good performance and the proposed method can be extended to wider applications of periodic pattern enhancement.

    Abstract:  Thematic information detection is an important application of remote sensing image. Support vector machine (SVM) has been widely used in MODIS remote sensing detection. However, the difficulty of SVM application is how to select the suitable kernel function for remote sensing image. In this paper, the Sangeang Api volcanic ash cloud on May 30, 2014 is taken as an example, and the linear, polynomial, radial basis function (RBF) and sigmoid kernel functions are used to detect volcanic ash cloud from MODIS remote sensing image. And then the detected volcanic ash cloud information is evaluated in terms of simulation experiment and contrastive precision accuracy. The results show that the RBF kernel function is more effective and more robust for MODIS remote sensing image.

    Abstract:  This paper presents a novel and fast linear regularized optimization algorithm for single image dehazing, which is based on two statistical observations. One observation is that images under hazy conditions usually exhibit low contrast and the other is that the spatial distribution of distances from scene objects to the camera is piece wise smooth. In addition to the linear optimization, digital matting and wavelet decomposition techniques are also applied to refine the dehazing results and speed up the computation. Simulations and evaluations of the proposed algorithm in comparison with state of the art algorithms are carried out. The obtained results can demonstrate advantages of the proposed algorithm in color fidelity and recovery of image details.

    Affiliation:  (1Qian Xuesen Laboratory of Space Technology, Beijing, China 2Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), NSW, Australia 3 School of Computing and Mathematics, 
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a new framework for remote sensing images classification based on group sparse representations. It is well known that it is very difficult to find a suitable sparse representation for remote sensing images because of complicated ground features. Here a remote sensing image is deemed a combination of sub-images of smooth, edges and point like components. Since each domain transformation method is only capable of representing a particular kind of ground objects or textures, a group of domain transformations are combined to sparsely represent the whole image. By applying the group sparse representations as a prior in Maximum a Posterior (MAP) for ill-conditioned problems, each channel of an input hyperspectral data cube can be separated into sub-images of the same size as the input image by using the iterative soft-thresholding algorithm (ISTA). For a particular channel, smooth areas will most likely show in the sub-image with similar amplitude. These smooth areas in a sub-image will work as implicit spatial constraint for that channel. Therefore, those reconstructed sub-images can be added to the original hyperspectral data cube as an augmented data cube with spatial constraint embedded for solving classification problem. This new framework brings hopes for all the classification methods without spatial constraints for the purpose of improving classification accuracy. The improved classification results can be achieved without any changes to those classification methods but using the augmented data cube.

    Affiliation:  (1School of Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, Shaanxi, 710072, P. R. China 2School of Communication Engineering, Xidian University,
    Abstract:  Wherein the framework of block compressive sensing sampling of images, an lp norm minimization algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm is memory efficient as we just need to store a block diagonal sensing matrix for sampling the small blocks divided from an original image. The whole image is reconstructed with an lp norm minimization. To improve the quality of the reconstructed images and reduce the computation time, we combine the penalty function method with revised Hesse sequence quadratic programming in the lp norm minimization. The algorithm is employed to reconstruct images with different block sizes. From analysis of the visual quality, the peak signal-to-noise and computation time of reconstructed images with different block sizes in detail, we select 16*16 as the optimal block size. Finally, reconstructed images obtained with the proposed algorithm are compared with those obtained with orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (OMP) and iteratively reweighted least square algorithm (IRLS), respectively. The comparisons show that the proposed algorithm can obtain superior visual quality and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) performance with less computation time.

    Authors:  Fuxing Zhao, Rong Zhang, Haolong Guo, Yanhua Zhang
    Affiliation:  (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,  Ningbo University, Ningbo, China)
    Abstract:  To make the tampered image more deceivable, rotation and scaling of the duplicated image region, as simple and common image forgery techniques, are often employed. In this paper, a novel approach of copy-move location is presented for copy-move forgery which combines with the keypoint-based method and the block-based method. For a tampered image, we use the split-half recursion matching strategy to match SIFT keypoints. In this step, we obtain the preliminary detection results which indicate the suspected copy-move regions with matching relation. In order to obtain an accurate localization, the proposed method introduces block-based method. First, the affine transformation between two matched regions is estimated. Then, one of the two matched regions is transformed. And then, the ZNCC coefficients are calculated to measure the correlation between the transformed and the matched regions. Experimental results indicate that the presented algorithm can not only localize the tampered regions accurately, but also deal with operations such as rotation, scaling and multiple copy operations. At the same time it also can resist post-processing operations effectively like white Gaussian noise and JPEG compression.

    Authors:  Baoyan Wang1, Tie Zhang1, Xingang Wang2
    Affiliation:  College of Information Science and Engineering Northeastern University, Shenyang, China,  School of Control Engineering
    Abstract:  We propose a novel salient object detection method based on objectness by generating salient object bounding box proposals. Smooth images of edge-preserving well and smooth background are obtained by using L0 Gradient Minimization. After oversegmenting somooth images using SLIC algorithm, candidate bounding boxes as well as center and neighbor areas in a bounding box are then determined. Combing objectness scores, contrast, center and background priors, ranking bounding boxes containing salient objects are obtained finally. Although saliency map can’t directly be obtained by our algorithm unlike others salient object detection methods, salient objects containing meaningful context information can be labeled with ranking bounding boxes. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can yield better detection and run faster than salient object detection of SVO method. Based on internal connection between saliency and objectness, algorithm proposed in this paper can be viewed as a novel try on salient object detection.

    Authors:  Liu Jian
    Affiliation:   (School of Communication and Information Engineering Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  On validating the performance of small-sized, multi-functionalized and complicated mobile antenna on motherboard efficiently, an improved scheme with combination of the Method of Momentum (MOM) and the Fast Multipole (FMM) is proposed in this paper. The essence of this newly forwarded scheme is apt to categorize the engaged base functions into one near field group and one far field group, the MOM is accordingly used to govern the count of the base functions in the near field group where data are stored necessarily; on the contrary, the FMM is used instead for counting the base functions in the far field group where data are stored unnecessarily. The antenna under validation (AUV) is an compact inverted-F antenna operated in the frequency range of the UMTS band from 1920MHz to 2170MHz, the Bluetooth/WLAN 2.4GHz band from 2400MHz to 2460MHz and the WLAN 5.8GHz band from 5725MHz to 5850MHz. The agreement between the calculation and the measurement regarding parameters S11 and radiation patterns validates the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed scheme as well as the performance of the AUV.

    Abstract:  To overcome the large amount of calculation of analytical method and the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of PCB layout, a new method based on the Advanced Design System (ADS) is introduced to the design of matching networks for wideband shortwave antenna. Firstly ideal Pi- and T-type networks are designed according to the Smith Chart. Secondly, co-simulations of schematics and layouts are made based on ADS momentum. Finally, the optimization of layouts is implemented to realize the optimal results. Compared with analytical method, the results show that in the design of matching network including two or three elements, the simulation with schematics and layouts has the advantages of simple, efficient and low cost. And the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the antenna after matching is lower than 2, and the S21 is better than -2.5dB. So, the new method is valuable in both theory and practice.

    Abstract:  The MUSIC algorithm is researched in the planar antenna array. The conventional direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method in the planar array antennas uses the technology of beam scanning. It needs a lot of array element. To the finite conformal array DOA estimation, the resolution ratio will be affected by the Rayleigh limit. While, the MUSIC algorithm can fully utilize the orthogonality of noise subspace and signal subspace, it can achieve the DOA estimation through the spectrum peak search. Based on the planar array antenna, the Bartlett beam-forming methodthe CAPON minimum variance method and the MUSIC algorithm are analyzed and simulated. The simulation results show that the MUSIC algorithm has higher resolution relative to the two traditional algorithms.

    Abstract:  This paper presents a novel wideband quadrature hybrid with tunable power dividing ratio. It consists of a broadband hybrid power divider and two varactor diodes. By verifying the reverse voltage of the varactor diodes, the power dividing ratios between the two output ports (i.e., port 3 and port 4) of the hybrid can be easily controlled. Analytical design equations are derived using the even-odd mode method. To verify the design concepts, a miniaturized tunable power dividing ratio hybrid working at 1.85 GHz is designed and tested. When verifying the reverse voltage of the varactor diodes from 0 to 16 volt, the power dividing ratios between the two output ports of the hybrid can be tuned from -1 to 7.3 dB within a wide bandwidth (1.7-2.0 GHz). Good isolation and return loss performance have been maintained for different power-dividing ratios. And the output phase difference is nearly 90 degree. Moreover, the working bandwidth is larger than 200 MHz for different values of reverse voltage. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones. The total size of the quadrature hybrid power divider is much small (60.4×26.8×1 mm3).

    Affiliation:  (1School of Electronic Engineering University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China 2National Key Laboratory of Application Specific Integrated Circuit
    Abstract:  In this paper, a broadband terahertz (THz) monolithically integrated waveguide-to-grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transition, which can be operated in the whole R band (220-325 GHz), is designed for the first time. The WR3 standard waveguide and the radial E-plane probe transition are utilized in our design. A back-to-back transition structure with input and output waveguides is designed for the verification. The simulated results show that the insertion loss is approximate 1.5 dB and the return losses are more than 13 dB from 220 GHz to 325 GHz. Then a single-stage amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with the integral waveguide-to-GCPW transition using 70-nm InP high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) process is designed, which can eliminate the need for wire bonds in the RF signal path. The amplifier can provide more than 1 dB gain at 300 GHz, with the input and output return losses of better than 13 and 20 dB, respectively.

    Authors:  Kebin Hu, Xiaoling Zhang, Shunjun Wei, Jun Shi
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic Engineering University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China)
    Abstract:  The autofocus backprojection (BP) algorithm based on image sharpness metric has obtained excellent performance for motion error compensation. However, there are still two serious problems should be considered. Firstly, the spatial variance of motion errors is ignored, which can result in azimuth defocus for targets far away from the invisible reference target. Secondly, the use of redundant antenna phase centers (APCs)  for a target leads to the excessively concentrated energy distribution along azimuth direction. In this paper, we demonstrate the strategies of range blocking and sub-aperture processing to solve the two problems, respectively. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of our methods.

    Abstract:  Distributed radar network systems can provide significant performance improvement for target tracking. For a fixed radar network, the achievable target tracking performance may beyond a specified threshold with full transmitting energy, which poses a serious risk to radar network and increases the vulnerability of the whole system in modern electronic warfare. In this paper, the problem of low probability of intercept (LPI) based resource management for target tracking in distributed radar network architecture is investigated. The Authors: ’ goal is to trade off the LPI performance and the target tracking accuracy. With the radar network system model, an optimal resource management scheme is presented to minimize the overall resource burden by optimizing time of the measurement and transmitting energy while guaranteeing a required level of target tracking performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively achieve the optimal solution and bring a significantly improved LPI performance in practical scenarios.

    Abstract:  From the perspective of saving energy and ensuring secure routing of data transmission for wireless sensor networks, a trust and potential field-based routing protocol for wireless sensor networks is proposed and evaluated in this paper. Three factors including residual energy, trust value and distance are considered in the process of credible cluster head election, and the node that is the optimal solution of cluster head election function will be the cluster head. In the stage of establishing inter-cluster routing, considering trust and potential field of candidate next hop, cluster head chooses the optimal relay as the next hop and communicate with it. Simulation results demonstrate that the protocol is more efficient than any other typical clustering algorithms in saving energy and prolonging the lifetime of networks, but also it solves secure routing problems that are caused by abnormal nodes in wireless sensor networks.

    Abstract:  In this paper, we address a sparse signal reconstruction problem of nonlinear dynamic system in Wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A distributed reconstruction algorithm of sparse nonlinear signal is proposed based on sigma-point filter and consensus filter with embedded pseudo-measurement (PM) technology. For numerical accuracy, its square-root version is further developed. By embedding the PM equation, proposed distributed reconstruction algorithm is able to fuse far fewer random linear measurements from different nodes in the WSNs, such that sparse nonlinear signals can be reconstructed closely and all filters can reach a consensus on the estimation. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Abstract:  A simple, high-efficient and energy saving image coding scheme is proposed in this paper, which is suitable for wireless multimedia sensor network. The scheme is based on lifting wavelet transform and SPIHT algorithm. To solve the very low executing efficiency problem of the combined algorithm, we make improvements in two aspects. Firstly, by eliminating the computation and coding of the outmost high-pass coefficients, the energy consumption of the transform is reduced and the execution is speed up. Secondly, by using optimized quantization truncation pretreatment with high-pass subband coefficients, it is avoided that coding mass of small value coefficients of the high-pass subbands, which further improves the executing efficiency. The simulation results show up to 90% reduction in the executing time is achieved by choosing the optimized truncation threshold, with the guarantee for the image quality of 34.5dB.

    Affiliation:  (1Egyptian Armed Forces 2Computer Networks and Commun. Engineering Dept. College of Computer Science - King Khalid University)
    Abstract:  Recently wireless sensor networks have been shown to be very attractive for many wireless communications applications. A large number of very tiny sensors spread over the area under consideration constitute the wireless sensor networks. These tiny sensors have limited power resources. Due to limited built-in battery life-time at each sensor, minimizing power consumption in the sensors is an important issue for reliable and sustainable network operation. Error control coding (ECC), such as turbo codes and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC), is a classic approach used to increase link reliability and lower the required transmitted power. However, lowered power at the transmitter comes at the cost of extra power consumption due to the decoder at the receiver. Stronger codes provide better performance with lower power requirements, but have more complex decoders with higher power consumption than simpler error control codes. Turbo codes shows good performance at low SNR with iterative decoding but error floor phenomenon is occurred at high SNR region. LDPC code shows good performance at high SNR without error floor in contrast to turbo code. Therefore, LDPC code can be concatenated to turbo code to reduce error floor.  In this paper, an energy efficiency based serially concatenated scheme of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) and turbo codes scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme is discussed, analyzed, and evaluated. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated through computer simulations, which shows an improvement in the bit error rate (BER).

    Abstract:   A multi-step slot reservation hybrid MAC protocol based on the Distributed Coordinate Function (DCF) of IEEE 802.11 standard and Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme termed TR-MAC, is presented for Ad Hoc Networks. The protocol combines the strengths of TDMA and DCF, using the multi-step slot reservation mechanism reduces the control packets negotiation, avoids extra contentions and removes the slot assignment algorithm, thereby improving the performance of throughput without incurring additional overhead. Furthermore, TR-MAC provides Qos guarantee for multiple data transmis- sions. The effectiveness of TR-MAC is analyzed and evaluated in terms of throughput, packet loss rate and delay-jitter comparison with Z-MAC via ns-2 simulation. The results verify that TR-MAC works very well in all three aspects, and it is superior to Z-MAC.

    Affiliation:  (Dept. of Computer Science, Minjiang University, Fuzhou, China)
    Abstract:  Underwater acoustic channel has some special properties: large propagation delay, limited bandwidth and poor quality of the physical link. The design of MAC protocol for underwater acoustic sensor networks is more difficult than terrestrial wireless networks. Because of the large propagation delay, the MAC protocol of the terrestrial wireless networks is not suitable for the underwater acoustic sensor networks. This paper proposes a novel MAC protocol based on the SFAMA protocol. The protocol improves throughput by using a new multiple reception handshaking mechanism. The handshaking mechanism allows a receiving node receives multiple data packets simultaneously. Simulation results show that this protocol achieves a higher throughput and fairness than the SFAMA protocol.

    Authors:  Li Zhang1,  Yanping Zhu2   
    Affiliation:  (1Department of Mathematics & Physics Hohai University, Changzhou, China 2College of Information Science & Technology
    Abstract:  In this paper, we propose a distributed deployment algorithm for mobile sensor networks. The algorithm imitates the flocking behavior to drive sensors to suitable positions around the target of interest (TOI), such that the distance between each pair of neighboring sensors approaches a desired value, which could be determined by practical communication model. The movement of each sensor is governed by a second-order dynamics. The stimulus to this system is controlled by a potential function constraining the inter-sensor distance, a velocity consensus term reflecting the group behavior of neighboring sensors, and a navigational feedback used to keep tracking the movement of the TOI. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared to the traditional flocking algorithm, the proposed algorithm can attain a more uniform deployment of sensors, whether or not the TOI is static.

    Abstract:  With the recent development of wireless and sensing technology, wireless sensor devices have invaded the medical area with a wide range of capability. These devices allow medical practitioners to monitor the patients remotely and timely. However, it is known that the body movement can result in significant fluctuations of the radio signal, affecting the data communication. Real-time activity recognition is necessary to ensure that data transmission is avoided when the signal quality is bad. In this paper, we propose an Activity-based Transmission Protocol (ATP) that can recognize different user's activities and adapt the transmission protocol accordingly. By generating the acceleration waveform using the accelerometer reading, we classify the human activities into simple, complex and static movements and map it according to the transmission protocol. The classification will be used to select the transmission protocol. Extensive experiments performed on real hardware show that the ATP reduce the energy consumption by identifying and adapting the transmission protocol according the user's activities without affecting the packet reliability.

    Abstract:  Space hopping is a transmission scheme that emits wireless signals by rapidly switching transmit antennas according to the space hopping pattern. This paper proposes a transmission focusing based space hopping technique which aims at improving communication security by exploiting spatial resources sufficiently. More specifically, the legitimate user first transmits a training signal. Then the transmitter detects and processes the received signal and transmits the information bearing signal back. Thus, energy is focused on the legitimate user so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the legitimate user has an advantage over the eavesdropper. The risk of interception is reduced since there is no information exchange between the transmitter and the legitimate user. Rapidly switching antennas enhances the changing speed of the channel between the transmitter and the eavesdropper. Therefore it is hard for the eavesdropper to demodulate signals correctly. Simulation results are provided and analyzed to show the performance of the proposed scheme.

    Authors:  Junyi Xi, Shefeng Yan, Lijun Xu, Jing Tian
    Affiliation:  (Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  A bidirectional blind equalization based on the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and subspace-based algorithm (SBA) is proposed in this paper. Without any training sequence or channel estimation, blind equalization improves the transmission efficiency significantly in underwater acoustic communications. The combining scheme in which two outputs run in opposite directions exploits the diversity and suppresses the error propagation. Moreover, a single–input multiple-output (SIMO) system is adopted in the algorithm to obtain the multiple receivers diversity gain and achieves a much better performance. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed bidirectional CMA shows much better performance in a high SNR than that in a low SNR, and the bidirectional SBA outperforms the conventional method by approximately 2dB in BPSK system and 2.5dB in QPSK system.

    Affiliation:  (Equipment Academy, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  The paper puts forward a method of modulation recognition of communication signals based on their correlation characteristics under the ideal gauss white noise conditions. The spectrum peaks’ amounts, amplitudes, and location variance of signals’ delay correlation and instantaneous correlation were extracted as the feature parameters. As the simulation results shown, compared to other modulation recognition methods, this method can recognize more modulation types and has a better effect in low SNR conditions. It is not sensitive about the deviation of carrier frequency, too.

    Title:  Suppression of LFM interference in direct sequence spread spectrum communications based on compressive sensing
    Authors:  Zhang Yongshun, Jia Xin, Zhu Weigang
    Affiliation:  (Equipment Academy, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  The existing linear frequency modulation (LFM) interference suppression algorithms for direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communications are confined to the high sampling rate. In order to solve the problem, compressive sensing (CS) was applied to suppress the LFM interference in DSSS communications. The DSSS signal sparse dictionary and LFM interference waveform matching dictionary was built. The algorithm was designed to suppress the LFM interference in compressed domain by using the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. The effectiveness of the algorithm was validated by computer simulation. The simulation results show that the algorithm could suppress the LFM interference effectively, interference suppression effect don't change with the interference intensity and interference position. This will provide an effective method for the reconstruction of the compressed DSSS signal in the condition of the LFM interference.

    Abstract:  This paper focuses on investigation of periodic complementary sequence sets over quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. We propose a method converting existing binary mutually uncorrelated complementary sequence sets (MUCSSs) into required sequence sets, and discuss family size of the resultant sequence sets. More clearly, the number of new sequence sets is an exponent of period of sub-sequences. Hence, our method can provide a large number of candidates for applications of CDMA or OFDM communication systems in elimination of multiple access interference (MAI) or reduction of peak envelope power(PEP), respectively.

    Abstract:   We propose a class of Alamouti-like Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (STBC) for two additional information bits without source such as power, bandwidth and time slot. To maintain the full rank property of the coding gain matrix, we propose a set of STBCs for 4 transmit antennas transmission to transmit one additional information bit achieving rate-9/8. Another orthogonal STBC code with rate-1 is proposed in this paper within the set. It shows by computer simulation results that by employing the set of STBCs, it achieves better bit error rate (BER) performance and throughput than that of [1] with a valid BER improvement at high SNR region above 20dB.

    Abstract:  The novelty of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar can effectively improve radar system performance by utilizing the multi-antennas and orthogonal signals. While the traditional single sequence can’t keep the complete orthogonality (the sidelobes of the auto-correlation and cross-correlation function equal to zero at all delays). The expression of ambiguity function of complete complementary sequence (CC-S) is deduced in this paper. The simulation results show the validity of the proposed ambiguity function of CC-S. The application of CC-S in MIMO radar is studied and the MIMO radar transmitter model based on CC-S is established. It is demonstrated that the CC-S has the potential to significantly improve the performance of MIMO radar system and the validity of the CC-S applied in MIMO radar is verified.

    Abstract:  Relay communications channels have been shown to be used to achieve combined diversity and coding gain in wireless communications networks. To enhance the performance of relay network some cooperation and distributed coding schemes have been introduced. In relay networks signals transmitted from one terminal to another through a number of relays. Embedding the distributed turbo code (DTC) technique into the relay channels has been shown to approach the theoretical bound of the capacity of the wireless relay networks.  In some applications, the availability of the power required at the source device to satisfy some level of quality at the destination device is not available, like in sensor networks, and in some other applications the power assigned for the source and relay devices are different.  In this paper, for the distributed turbo code (DTC) in relay network, we consider a two hop relay network, which consists of one source device, one relay device and one destination device. So, in this paper, the power allocated to each component of the turbo code word, which are generated at both source device and at the relay device, has been investigated and conclusions are drawn for design purposes to enhance the performance of the distributed turbo code (DTC) in relay networks.

    Authors:  Yang Qiong, Zhang Yi,Wang Jianing , Tang Chengkai
    Affiliation:  (Department of Electronics Engineering Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  Adaptive beamforming algorithm performance decreases sharply with the increase of array errors. Beamforming algorithm based on diagonal loading is a simple and effective method for improving robustness. But it is difficult to determine the optimal diagonal loading factor, and the fixed load value does not change with the array error, reduce the loading effect. To solve the above problems, we propose a multistage Wiener filter anti-jamming method with variable diagonal loading. This algorithm not only avoids the inverse covariance matrix by using the multistage Wiener filtering algorithm, but also reduces the computational complexity greatly. It reduces the influence of steering vector error on the performance of the system, so as to improve the array output signal to interference plus noise ratio and improve the robustness of the system.

    Abstract:  A scheme of bidirectional relaying underwater acoustic communication is presented in this paper, which adopted two-way (on-frequency) amplify and forward relaying, is an emerging technology that allows doubling of system spectral efficiency. However, underwater acoustic channel is of serious multipath interference, which leads to great challenges to avoid the interference from mutual channel user. In this paper, we proposed a self interference cancellation algorithm based on Look-up Table(LUT), referred as L-SIC, for a two-user, asynchronous, bidirectional relaying underwater acoustic communication system by the available side-information from ”echo” signal. Simulation results show that the performance of our proposed algorithm has lower SER and computation cost has been significantly reduced compared to full LUT method.

    Authors:  Liu Shengming1, Liu Litian2
    Affiliation:  (1Department of Graduate Management 2Department of Information Equipment, Equipment Academy of PLA Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  IEEE802.16j is the specification for WiMAX mobile multi-hop relay system and it is compatible with IEEE802.16e and supports mobility and IEEE802.16 PMP. As relay stations have changed the structure of traditional WiMAX network, the reasonable placement of base stations and relay stations can affect the network construction result significantly. Firstly, the related work of research on planning stations in IEEE802.16j network is conducted. Secondly, combining the condition that whether the subscriber station needs the usage of relaying or not, a model of 3-hop IEEE802.16j network about station placement is proposed by limiting the placement location of relay station. The BS and RS placement problem is transformed into a 0-1 integer programming problem. At last, the outcome of optimized computation shows that the 3-hop network planning model can reduce the cost of network in comparison with the 1-hop and 2-hop ones. It is significant to the construction of WiMAX network in reality.

    Affiliation:  (1State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology, 2Beijing Key Laboratory of Network System and Network Culture, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  Due to the seamlessly adaptation to variable wireless network conditions, Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has been widely used in today's video streaming applications. Both the playback fluency and the average bitrate are significant performance metrics for mobile streaming users. However, the existing bitrate selection mechanisms based on the inaccurate throughput estimation will lead to a feedback loop, resulting in undesirably variable and low-quality video. In this paper, we first present a basic understanding of DASH system and make a simple analysis of the commercial players. We then model the bitrate selection problem under constrains of the buffer and the data requirement of users. To achieve high quality and smoothness playback, we propose an online dynamic video bitrate selection algorithm (DBS) based on the instant throughput and the buffer state. Parameters (α, β) in DBS can be set to adjust the bitrate switch frequency. The extensive simulation demonstrates that DBS can improve user's experience through video playback in different situations.

    Abstract:   In LTE system, there are generally two types of frequency offset: fixed frequency offset and Doppler frequency offset. In the paper, firstly, two improved methods of fixed frequency offset estimation are proposed, and then according to the frequency offset estimation, data can be compensated in inter-symbols and intra-symbols. Secondly, with the presence of two types of frequency offset in the system, a joint estimation and compensation algorithm of fixed frequency offset and Doppler frequency offset is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can meet the performance requirements for frequency synchronization of LTE system and reduce system block error ratioBLEReffectively.

    Authors:  Ge Yao, Jiang Zhe, Zhao Yixuan, Shen Xiaohong 
    Affiliation:  (School of Marine Science and Technology,  Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, PR China)
    Abstract:  Channel estimation is therefore required as an integral part of the receiver design. The channel model adopted in this paper allows the CIR to vary within one OFDM symbol. To facilitate the channel estimation solution, maximum likelihood (ML) estimator adopts a second-order Taylor series expansion to approximate the intercarrier interference (ICI) caused by Doppler frequency shifts to simplify the channel estimation problem. However, this method which needs to find the roots for a third-order polynomial is so complex. In this paper, we investigate a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based channel estimation for OFDM systems in dispersive time-varying channels. The proposed method is performing similar to ML algorithm with lesser computational complexity. Moreover, our proposed method can adopt a second/third or even higher-order Taylor series expansion to approximate the ICI, avoiding to find the roots for a high polynomial.

    Title:  Adjustable Multiple Relay Selection for Cooperative Communication
    Authors:  Zhi-yong Liu
    Affiliation:  (School of Information and Electrical Engineering Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai), Weihai, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, an adjustable multiple relay selection (MRS) scheme for cooperative communication with amplify-and-forward (AF) relay under frequency selective channels is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the relays are ordered firstly by the end-to-end SNR, then the relays are sequentially selected out from N relays and the number of cooperating relays is adjusted dynamically according to the current channel state information. The aim of this work is to dynamically estimate the optimum number of cooperating relays. ‘Optimum’ means the minimum number of cooperating relays achieving the maximum level of combined SNR. Numerical results verify the analyses and show that the scheme can adaptively adjust the number of cooperating relays, and outperform conventional relay selection schemes. Hence, the proposed scheme provides better tradeoff between BER performance and spectral efficiency and to save more energy in cooperative wireless networks.

    Affiliation:  (School of Electronics and Information Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  To provide better QoS guarantee for the next generation WLAN, IEEE 802.11ax task group is founded in March 2014. As a promising technology to accommodate multiple nodes concurrent transmissions in dense deployment scenario, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) will be adopted in IEEE 802.11ax with great possibility. In this paper, an OFDMA based multiple access protocol with QoS guarantee is proposed for the next generation WLAN. Firstly, a redundant access mechanism is given to increase the access success probability of the video traffic where the video stations can concurrently send multiple RTS packets in multiple subchannels. Secondly, a priority based resource allocation scheme is presented to let AP allocate more resources to the video stations. Simulation results show that our protocol outperforms the existing OFDMA based multiple access for IEEE 802.11ax (OMAX) protocol in terms of delay and delay jitter of video traffic in dense deployment scenario.

    Title:  Power Scheduling Of Distributed Multiple-Hypothesis Detection by Task-Specific Information
    Authors:  Kim, Hyoung-soo   Yang, Sung-II
    Affiliation:  (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea)
    Abstract:  We introduce a new information theoretic power allocation scheme applicable to distributed multiple-hypothesis detection systems communicating over slow fading channels. In earlier work, it was demonstrated that performance could be improved by adjusting transmit power to maximize the J-divergence measure of a binary detection system and the J-divergence method is extended for a distributed multiple-hypothesis detection system by defining pairwise sums of the J-divergences. However, the pairwise sum measure does not provide a tight bound. Basically, the more hypotheses we adopt, the less efficient the optimization is. Thus, we derive a more efficient classification-oriented information measure for power optimization of distributed multiple-hypothesis system by introducing a virtual decider variable. The virtual decider variable is directly related with classification task. Various numerical results are also shown to compare the performances.

    Abstract:  For the GNSS receiver, when the satellite navigation signal is weak, the traditional tracking accuracy of GNSS receiver tracking loops will decline sharply which will lead to the deterioration of the Carrier frequency error. Aiming at improving the Velocity Determination accuracy of GNSS receiver, we propose the GNSS Precise Velocity Determination Algorithm Based on Chaotic Oscillator. The proposed algorithm, on the basis of the traditional tracking loop, has greatly improved the accuracy of the original Doppler frequency by introducing the Chaotic Oscillator to estimate the carrier frequency. The simulation proves that, under a certain dynamic range, the velocity determination accuracy of the GNSS receiver, in the aid of the new algorithm, has been greatly improved.

    Authors:  Zijing Wu, Kaixiong Su
    Affiliation:  (College of Physics and Information Engineering Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, China)
    Abstract:  Due to the overlap of nonzero sub-matrices in the successive layers of check matrix, the pipeline process might introduce data updating conflict in pipelined layered LDPC decoder. A solution to solve this problem by adjusting the decoding order of layers in check matrix and nonzero sub-matrices in the same layer is proposed in this paper. Furthermore the corresponding fast algorithm is given. In term of hardware implementation, this method which can be achieved simply by changing the order of the corresponding data in the ROMs will not increase any extra hardware overhead. Experimental results show that due to fewer idle clocks even zero idle clock need to be inserted into decoding pipeline when using this solution, the decoding rate is improved effectively. More importantly, the method will not degrade the decoding performance for LDPC codes.

    Affiliation:  (Software Quality Engineering Research Center The 5th Electronics Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, Guangzhou, China)
    Abstract:   Now the challenge for the mobile network in reliability is more and more serious. The traditional mobile network management schemes such as Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) have hardly taken this issue into account. In this paper, we make an improvement based on PMIPv6 to propose a network based reliable mobility management scheme called R-PMIPv6. The basic idea of R-PMIPv6 is to split the control and forward plane of traditional mobility anchor and increases the redundancy of forward plane to ensure the function continuity of entity and consistency of services, thus realize the reliable mobile network management effectively. We design the basic architecture and redundancy pool in which failure detection procedure and service switch procedure are detailed. Fault tolerant time and reliability of PMIPv6 are analyzed in mathematics. Finally numerical results are presented.

    Authors:  Ma Yanjun
    Affiliation:  (School of Communication and Information Engineering Xi'an University of Science and Technology, Xi'an China)
    Abstract:  Interference alignment (IA) has been shown to achieve the maximum achievable degrees of freedom in the interference channel. However, the overhead required is huge, which cannot be acceptable in a real environment. In this paper, based on closed-form IA solutions, a low overhead distributed interference alignment (LOIA) scheme is proposed for the K-user single-input single-output (SISO) interference channel, and extension to multiple antenna scenarios are also considered. Compared with the iterative interference alignment (IIA) algorithm proposed by Gomadam et al., the overhead of our LOIA scheme is greatly reduced. Simulation results show that the IIA algorithm is strictly suboptimal compared with our LOIA algorithm in the overhead-limited scenario.

    Affiliation:  (School of Communication Engineering, Xidian University, Xi’an, Shaanxi, P. R. China)
    Abstract:   In this paper, maximum rate interference alignment (MR-IA) algorithm is proposed for multi-cell downlink interference systems. Based on the researches on distributed interference alignment (IA) algorithms, the proposed algorithm can further enhance the sum rate. In this scheme, the precoding matrices are optimized by searching precoding alone the gradient ascent direction of throughput. In this process, the step length is decreased with multiplying a parameter smaller than 1, which leads to the degradation to rank constrained rank minimization interference alignment (RCRM-IA) algorithm. Thus, the algorithm can attain interference alignment as well as the throughput improvement eventually. Simulation examples are provided showing that the proposed algorithm can enhance the sum rate obviously compared with the conventional algorithms.

    Affiliation:  (1School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University Xi’an, China 2Shanghai Institute of Aerospace Electronic Technology, Shanghai 201109, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, the performance of state of the art decoding methods of polar codes, such as the SC (Successive Cancellation), BP (belief propagation), LP (Linear Programming), LSC (List Successive Cancellation) and ML(Maximum Likelihood) decoding, over different binary-input discrete memoryless channels (B-DMCs) are presented. Simulation results indicate that decoding algorithms of polar codes have the performances of the estimated bit error rate (BER) below the order of 10-5. In addition, we came to the conclusion that BP algorithm outperforms SC at the cost of computational complexity. The performance of LP decoder is better than BP and the complexity is less than BP scheme, however, it can only be used in binary erasure channels (BECs). ML decoder has the best performance, but its high complexity makes it act as a reference to reveal the gap between ML and other algorithms. In order to remedy the performance deficiencies without any significant increase in decoding complexity, we further study the concatenated polar codes—the polar-LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) concatenation scheme, which is substantially outperforms ML decoding. What’s more, the concatenated Polar-LDPC codes can remedy the error floor of LDPC codes. We firmly believed that the concatenated scheme of polar-LDPC would be a prominent technique in 5G (5th-generation) to support the more reliable transmission demand.

    Abstract:  A sparse channel estimation method is proposed for cyclic prefixed single carrier block transmission with frequency domain equalization (CP-SCBT-FDE) system employed in sparse frequency selective fading channels by using compressed sensing (CS) technique. The sparse channel estimation in CP-SCBT-FDE system is formulated as a canonical CS problem, and a measurement matrix that satisfies restricted isometry property (RIP) is constructed to guarantee reliable channel impulse response (CIR) reconstruction from limited number of noisy observation measurements. Unlike the conventional channel estimation technique, such as frequency domain (FD) estimation and time domain (TD) least square (LS) estimation techniques, the new method can fully take the sparsity of the sparse frequency selective channel into account, which help improve the estimation accuracy of the sparse channel. Simulation results show that the proposed sparse channel estimation method outperforms the widely accepted TD and FD LS channel estimation methods in bit error rate (BER) and mean-square error (MSE).

    Title:  Two-Way Relaying with Non-Coherent Differential MPSK Modulation
    Authors:   Fan, Jie Li, Lixin
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronics and Information Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:   This paper focuses on two-way relaying (TWR) system, where two source nodes exchange information with each other simultaneously via the relay node. We proposes a denoise-and-forward two-way relaying (DNF-TWR) scheme using non-coherent multiple differential phase-shift keying (M-DPSK) modulation when the channel state information (CSI) is unknown. Firstly, we design the denoising mapping function at the relay and the decoder at the source using maximum likelihood (ML) principle. Then we take DNF-TWR with differential binary phase-shift keying (2DPSK) modulation as an example to derive the closed-form end-to-end bit error rate (BER). The analytical results are verified through simulations. The simulation results show that DNF-TWR scheme with 2DPSK modulation works well, and the BER of DNF-TWR with M-DPSK modulation becomes larger as the modulation order M increases.

    Affiliation:  (1Laboratory of Electronic Information Network CETC No.20 Research Institute, Xi’an China 2School of Life Science and Technology, Xidian University, Xi’an China
    Abstract:  In this paper, we generalize the feedback sum-product algorithm to the decoding of sparse quantum codes over random balanced X-Z Channels, thereby significantly improving the performance of the concerned sparse quantum codes. We point out that, due to the randomness of the channel, degeneracy errors would be degreased greatly and the improvement of the performance of the sparse quantum codes come from the new decoding algorithm, where more reliable and useful information is feedback to the decoder by using the feedback strategy. As the end of this paper, simulations are given to verify our statements.

    Affiliation:  (College of Computer Science and Technology, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, Shaanxi, P.R. China)
    Abstract:  The normal display of the video signal depends on the video sync signal. In the pragmatic applications, failing to display of the video signal usually subjects to the loss of the sync signal, and affects the regular production. And the excessive long transmission lines debilitate the video sync signals, which results in the video signal displaying abnormally. Bi-channel PAL sync signal switcher discussed in this paper is based on Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD) and generates PAL timing by CPLD programming. It is used to solve the problem that the video is unable to display for the loss of video sync signal. Meanwhile, the three-state gates are used to overcome the weakness of the load driving ability.

    Abstract:  The encrypted data in security chips will leaked by side-channel information such as running time, power consumption, electromagnetic signals. Which make it possible to side-channel attack. But the side-channel power consumption data used in the actual attack usually contains a lot of noise, which greatly reduces the success rate. In this paper, the wavelet de-noising research is based on power consumption data which come from the FPGA-based power consumption acquisition platform. By comparing the de-noising effect of different wavelets, different decomposition level and different threshold, a reliable wavelet de-noising method based on dynamic power consumption is founded. Using this method, we obtained a great de-noising effect.

    Abstract:  Since the cloud computing was proposed, the research of cloud instantaneously swept the world and all kinds of cloud products have appeared in public eyes. But if the cloud platform security is not guaranteed, companies or individuals will not run and store their own data in the cloud, especially since the Hollywood nude-picture scandal event put the cloud computing to the point of a struggle. So how to put these cloud product promotion out and make interest to the company becomes the company's biggest problem, and the credible cloud’s service has become an urgency to implement. In this paper, we are concerned with trust in the cloud computing. Paper mainly launches the discussion from the application layer and infrastructure layer. The monitoring system collects data from cloud system real time, and makes the corresponding judgment according to the analysis results. At the same time, the system will report the data to the third party to record and modify the system rules timely. By these means, the cloud system can improve the stability of the service and make it more credible.

    Abstract:   Repeater jamming has become an important jamming type for countering coherent radar since it is proposed. In this paper, a coherent noise jamming method based on interrupted-sampling and pseudo-random sequence phase-modulation is proposed against de-chirping radar. The characteristic of jamming signal is analyzed in detail and the processing procedure of de-chirping radar is introduced. After De-chirping, multiple dense false-targets are formed to protect the true target. Compared with non-coherent noise jamming, this jamming signal is of much correlation with radar signal and capable of obtaining processing gain. At last, some simulation results are presented to validate the correctness and effectiveness of the jamming method. With the ability of adapting to different radar signals and the simple structure to be realized, this jamming idea shows some significance to engineering implementation of jammer.

    Authors:  Kai Dong, Shuai Yan, Xianglu Meng and Deqiang Wang
    Affiliation:  (School of Information Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, China)
    Abstract:  Channel estimation is a key issue for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate UWB channel estimation, where the emerging compressed sensing (CS) is used to bypass the difficulty faced by Nyquist sampling. Particularly, we propose a couple of dual-kernel dictionaries, namely cross-derivative dictionary (CDD) and accessorial-derivative dictionary (ADD), to approximate the UWB signals sparsely, where both the transmitted pulse shape and its derivative are used as generating kernels. Extensive simulation results reveal that the proposed dictionaries provide much sparser approximation than the conventional multipath diversity based dictionary (MDD) and can be used to improve the channel estimation precision effectively.

    Title:  Underwater Segmented Sparse Decomposition Ranging Method
    Authors:  Zhang Yangmei, Tan Weijie
    Affiliation:  (School of Marine Science and Technology Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  Sparse decomposition method can be used to reduce the noise and reconstruct the underwater echo submerged in strong background noise. But if the distance between sonar and underwater target is larger than the maximum detection range of a given dictionary, this target will not be detected. Besides, if the target is near the boundary of a given dictionary but in an off-grid situation, this target will be detected with some errors. Aiming to solve the two special situations mentioned above, this paper proposes a segmented sparse decomposition ranging method based on Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). Firstly, two dictionaries with the same range resolution but different detection ranges are built up by time shift of continuous waveform (CW) functions. Then, the echo signal is divided into two channels and segmented with two different time windows. Based on the two predefined dictionaries, the segmented echo signals are decomposed and the background noise is reduced. The relative distance of the underwater target is obtained by let the reconstructed signals through matching filter and find the peaks of the output. Finally, CRT is used to estimate the real distance of the target. Simulation results verify the validity of the proposed method. Its performance is superior to the traditional sparse decomposition method when the target is located beyond the detection range of a given dictionary or near the dictionary boundary but in an off-grid situation. Moreover, method in this paper requires less storage space for the dictionaries than the classical sparse method with the same range resolution.

    Abstract:  In order to verify the feasibility of the noise source identification method for underwater moving vehicle, an underwater sound source simulated test system was designed, which is simple and practically easy to implement. In the reservoir test, dynamic data were collected, which obviously have Doppler effect. The performances of the Conventional Beamforming (CBF) and the Deconvolution Approach for the Mapping of Acoustic Source (DAMAS) method which computes the position of the moving sound source are compared and analyzed in the experiment. The results show that the Direction of Arrival (DOA) deviation of both CBF and DAMAS are less than 0.20. DAMAS has better performance and it is comparatively more suitable for underwater vehicle noise source identification.

    Abstract:  In this paper, the performance of interference sensing of full duplex cognitive anti-jamming (FCAJ) receiver impaired by phase noise in local oscillators is investigated under fading channel. Firstly, energy detection based the interference signal to noise ratio (INR) of FCAJ receiver with phase noise under different channels is analyzed.

    Abstract:  In order to handle the cross-tier interference problem and improve the throughput of a long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) heterogeneous network, we propose a downlink partial spectrum sharing scheme using cognitive radio (CR) technique. In this paper, radio resources are divided into three parts: macro-dedicated portion, shared portion and femto-dedicated portion. Moreover, we propose a mixed sharing scheme to share the resources in the shared portion to meet the CR based spectrum sharing requirement of interweave paradigm. Simulation result shows the proposed  scheme can get the best performance in terms of the throughput. Also we can see the trend that the total throughput is increased with the increasing of FDP Ratio when the cross-tier fair factor is decreased which reflect the resources competition relationship between the macrocell and the femtocells.

    Affiliation:  (1Dept. Communication & Information Engineering, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, China 2Dept. Information and Electronics
    Abstract:  In this paper, joint beamforming and power allocation via cooperation feedback and local feedback is considered in cognitive radio (CR) downlink where primary user (PU) coexists with multiple secondary users (SUs). The objective is to maximize the sum-rate of SUs while satisfying interference power constraint to PU and the total transmission power constraint of SUs. To effectively mitigate the interference to the PU, the zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming is designed at secondary transmitter (ST) based on quantized feedback channel state information (CSI). For power allocation, we introduce a game approach based on statistical analysis of the quantization error and propose an iterative distributed algorithm. Moreover, the existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) is analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

    Title:  LLR Based Spatiotemporal Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Schemes for Cognitive Radios
    Authors:  Min Deng, Bin-Jie Hu
    Affiliation:  (School of Electronic and Information Engineering South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China)
    Abstract:  Most existing distributed soft combining spectrum sensing usually assume that all sensing users either have the same signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values of primary user signal, or are independent of each other. But these assumptions are not always applicable. In this paper, a distributed soft combing spectrum sensing scenario with correlated cooperation users is considered. The secondary users may have unequal SNR values. In order to alleviate the well-known challenge of large amount of data reporting, two simple but effective local test statistics derivation schemes by averaging power samples or logarithmic likelihood ratios (LLRs) are proposed. Instead of sending all raw data, cooperation users just send their finally averaged LLR values to the user in need. In this way, the decision user can avoid estimating the covariance matrix as well as the eigenvalue decomposition, and omit the reliance of prior joint distribution of received signals, which is hard to get in this scenario. Furthermore, by exploiting spatial sensing results, only part of users selected according to three kinds of user selection rules rather than all need to send their LLRs. The decision user adopts equal gain combining (EGC) or LLR-weighted fusion to make the final decision. Simulations are carried out in three different correlation scenarios to show the detection performance of proposed cooperative spectrum sensing schemes.

    Authors:  Zhipan Wang1,    Hao Gu2,   Peide Sun1
    Affiliation:  (1Department of Information Science and Technology Donghua University,Shanghai, China 2ABB Corporate Research Center,Shanghai, China)
    Abstract:   In multi-actuator mechatronic and distributed multi-sensor systems, signal transmission plays an important role via rotary joint. Comparing with wireless communication, industrial bus is preferred for real-time signal transmission due to its low latency. However, industrial bus with cables at rotary joint suffers from limit free rotation, frequent maintenance and complex routing. In this paper, a contactless signal transmission (CST) system for industrial bus at rotary joint is proposed. In particular, optical coupling is designed and evaluated via an air gap for rotation motion at rotary joint. Logical strategies are proposed in signal converter for bridging CAN bus with optical signal coupling. For experimental verification, a developed CST system is implemented in a communication with two motor drives via CAN bus.

    Affiliation:  (1Department of Computer Science, The University of Otago, New Zealand 2Key Laboratory of ISN, Xidian University, China)
    Abstract:  As increasing numbers of CPU cores are placed on single-processor chips, conventional electronic interconnects for on-chip communications are becoming a bottleneck, due to difficulties in meeting ever-increasing demands on throughput and increasingly undesirable energy consumption. A potential solution is offered by Optical Networks-on-Chips (ONoCs): an emerging communication architecture for new generation multicore systems. Optical interconnection among cores at the chip level can offer ultra-high communication bandwidth, low latency, and high energy efficiency. This paper provides a brief review and sheds some insights on the unique characteristics and constraints of ONoCs for designing efficient routing schemes, especially from the networking perspective. Based on the properties of ONoCs, we propose an optimization framework for routing and wavelength assignment on ONoCs, which can be used to guide the upgrade from un-optimized ONoCs to optimized ONoCs. This paper provides the insight and guidance for high-level routing design in future research.

    Title:  A Fast Unambiguous Acquisition Algorithm for Sine-BOC Modulated Signals
    Authors:  Yanbin Zhang1,2 , Weijun Lu2 and Dunshan Yu1
    Affiliation:  (1School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science,  Peking University, Beijing, China 2School of Electronic Engineering, 
    Abstract:  The new Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) modulated signals, where the pseudo random noise (PRN) code is multiplied with rectangular subcarriers, split the spectrum symmetrically and reduce interference with existing navigation signals. In spite of these benefits of the Autocorrelation Function (ACF) for BOC signals, e.g. better multipath mitigation and sharper correlation main peak for better tracking accuracy, its multiple secondary peaks cause ambiguity both in signal acquisition and tracking. In this paper, we propose a new unambiguous acquisition algorithm based on time division correlation (TDC) technique for Sine BOC modulated signals. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed scheme, taking the BOCsin(1,1) as an instance, its acquisition performance is investigated detailed. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the TDC-based code acquisition scheme works efficiently for sine BOC signal. It can not only remove the ambiguity without any detection performance degradation, but also reduce the acquisition computation complexity compared with traditional methods.

    Abstract:  HINOC (High Performance Network over Coax) is a coaxial cable access technology used in tri-networks integration. To test and measure the physical-layer performance of HINOC modem (HM), a protocol-mode approach including a specific HINOC MAC layer and test script scheduler of HB is designed to change the status and parameters of the HM during the test. Power, spectrum, modulation and demodulation quality can be test with data flow on communication link. This method can test HM’s performance of transmitter and receiver without any modification to the HM, which has more advantages than the traditional non-protocol physical-layer test approach.

    Affiliation:  (State Key Laboratory of Acoustics Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, an underwater chaos-based DS-CDMA system is proposed. This system adopts a novel spreading sequence called chaotic phase modulation (CPM) sequence. Comparing with conventional pseudo-noise (PN) sequences, CPM sequence possesses series of advantages, such as higher security, much more quantity available and smaller cross-correlation coefficient, etc. The bit error rate (BER) is compared between CPM and M sequence under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Simulation results show that CPM sequence behaves much better BER performance especially in the case of large number of users. Besides, it shows superior performance in time varying acoustic channels. Hence, the proposed chaos-based DS-CDMA system has potential applications in confidential underwater networks.

    Abstract:  Recently, two novel matrices whose some entries are not syndromes and other entries are known syndromes have been presented to generate weak-locator polynomials needed in decoding the ternary quadratic residue code of length 61. This paper proposes a new unknown syndrome calculation for a class of cyclic codes and a completely algebraic decoding of the (23, 11, 9) ternary quadratic residue code up to actual minimum distance. For exactly four errors, the decoding algorithm developed here has to use the unknown syndrome, which appears in an entry of the above-mentioned matrix. The actual value of such an unknown syndrome can be determined precisely by the ratio of two determinants of matrices obtained from any one of the above-mentioned matrices.

    Affiliation:  (Information and Navigation College Air Force Engineering University, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  Channel of transform domain communication system is always assumed to multipath intensive channel or the channel state is already known, while when transform domain communication system is in high-speed wireless transmission status, the channel shows sparse multipath transmission characteristics. To make full use of this characteristic, a compressed sensing sparse channel estimation method for TDCS based on cyclic prefix is proposed. Firstly, a measurement matrix with weak coherence is designed based on the transform domain communication system basis function which has perfect autocorrelation characteristics, then an improved orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is proposed which can achieve accurate sparse channel estimation value in condition of the prior information is unknown. Both theory analysis and simulation results show that the new method can improve the accuracy of sparse channel estimation of TDCS in COST207 rural area channel model and get 3dB performance gain compared with the traditional least square channel estimation method when the bit error rate is 0.002.

    Abstract:  Texture for 3D models is one important component of computer graphics. In this paper, we propose a method for generating a coherent, integrated and seamless texture on 3D head models. In the process, the color images and depth data captured by Kinect are established a correspondence to build initial texture on the head surface. Then the visible mismatching seams in the adjacent texture regions are effectively removed by an iterative coarse-to-fine strategy, resulting in an accurate aligned texture. In the following, the illumination variations among different color images are eliminated by color fusion in gradient domains. Finally, one texture is generated for the whole 3D head model by non-texture repair. The experiments demonstrate that the coherent and seamless texture method for 3D head is effective and robust.

    Abstract:  Recently, smart phones are usually equipped with cameras and motion sensors. This means that mobile phones have become good platforms to deploy augmented reality (AR) applications. We propose a new tracking system for AR which uses inertial measurement units (gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetic field sensor) combined with a camera to automatically detect and track a dominant plane in the scene without prior knowledge about the environment. Meanwhile, it also estimates the pose of the device, so the rendered virtual objects can be correctly overplayed on the real view. While tracking the plane and computing the camera pose with respect to the scene, the solution also needs to construct and update the map of the scene, which consists of keyframes and keypoints in our scenario. Finally, we implement our system and test its performance on Android smart phones. Our experimental results show that the system can achieve real-time and drift-free performance and the tracking is quite accurate and robust.

    Abstract:  As one kind of storage technology, deduplicaition is widely deployed in all kinds of storage systems. However, the key problems of duplication, such as data throughput and usage of RAM, have not been perfectly addressed. Especially, with the emergence of cloud storage, traditional deduplication methods are not able to adapt to the velocity characteristic of the large data sets. This paper proposes LERD, a temporal locality enhanced resemblance based Duplication scheme, aiming at rapidly querying duplicated data for large scale data sets. LERD takes advantage of data resemblance and temporal locality of data stream to narrow query range, which not only rise throughput, but also decline usage of RAM. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that LERD's performance is much better than other state-of-the-art schemes.

    Abstract:  Over the past decades, many phase unwrapping algorithms have been developed and formulated for overcoming the problem of phase ambiguity. In this paper, a novel ambiguity reduced phase unwrapping method is proposed, which unwraps the linear combined phases instead of the instantaneous phases, and thus substantially reduces the degrees of ambiguity. It turns out that the ambiguity-reduce phase unwrapping could be transformed to an optimization problem. Moreover, the proposed unwrapping method has been applied to the estimation of the phase parameter of a single-tone in additive Gaussian white noise. Computer simulations show better capability of our proposed phase unwrapping approach with the traditional unwrapping algorithm, that is, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds of the proposed unwrapping method is much lower than that of traditional algorithms. Meanwhile, the corresponding phase estimator, which is based on the ambiguity-reduced phase unwrapping method, also outperforms the phase estimators tested, achieving a performance that is consistently close to the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for all values of SNR.

    Abstract:  Pulse diagnosis is one of the most important methods in traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis. In order to classify the human pulses effectively, feature extraction and pattern recognition are needed. In this paper wavelet transform is used to the feature extraction and the third layer wavelet energy and the wavelet entropy values are selected as the wavelet domain features. Therefore a new feature selection scheme is proposed, which combines wavelet domain features, time domain features and frequency domain features. Firstly, three kinds of features are extracted from a human pulse signal, and then the total 13 extracted features are fed to the BP neural network for pattern recognition. We name this method WBPN. The proposed WBPN method is tested on 12 different kinds of human pulse signals, and the average recognition rate of untrained test samples reaches 98.45%, which is higher than most of the existing methods. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed WBPN approach in human pulse recognition.

Secondly, the flame region of interest (FROI) is acquired by frame difference of flame color, and the region is determined through dispersion and cumulative movement. Finally, the integral saliency map of the current frame is formed by compositing color, brightness and motion saliency. Experiments   show that the proposed model achieves better performance on flame detection than others under different video scenes.

    Title:  Robust Face Tracking-By-Detection via Sparse Representation
    Authors:  Lei Shi, Yongli Zhu
    Affiliation:  (Department of Computer Sciences North China Electric Power University, Bao Ding, China)
    Abstract:  The robust algorithm, which is used for tracking human faces in unconstrained video, is built on Tracking-by-detection based on sparse representation. The algorithm works by combining the advantages of face tracking and face detection to improve the accuracy of tracking face in complex environment.  The off-line trained face model fits input image to detect face and online trained tracker localizes face via sparse representation. Sparse representation makes human faces’ tracking more accurate and robust by the generalized Haar-like features. Also, it will make our tracking algorithm more adaptive and robust since it can be used for any original signal, which means K-sparse can be omitted. The algorithm is validated on a surveillance video considering complicated conditions, such as illumination variation, pose changes, and so on.

    Title:  Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Mean Shift under Occlusions
    Authors:  Li Zhanli, Cui Leilei, Xie Ailing
    Affiliation:  (Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an, China)
    Abstract:  A new anti-occlusion method for object tracking is presented to solve the problem that traditional visual tracking algorithms often deviate or lose the targets under occlusion. The motion position of blocked object can be obtained by the further iterative calculation of mean shift algorithm in the particle filter tracking results when the target is occluded, and the approximation and accuracy of tracking results are higher. The particle state of estimation and the mean shift of iteration fused by object state can achieve reliable tracking performance under occlusion and gain the optimal location of object. Experimental results show that the method has strong robustness and error-tolerance to occlusion of tracking objects, and has good performance under complex background.

    Title:  An Illumination Insensitive Framework Using Robust Illumination Normalization and Spectral Regression Kernel Discriminant Analysis for Face Recognition
    Authors:  Decheng Yang, Weiting Chen
    Affiliation:  (Software Engineering Institute East China Normal University, Shanghai, China)
    Abstract:  Recognition under uncontrolled lighting conditions remains one of the major challenge for practical face recognition systems. In this work, we present an efficient and effective framework to improve the recognition performance from two aspects: image preprocessing and subspace representation. The step of image preprocessing is mainly used to eliminate the effects of illumination. The step of subspace representation is used for dimension reduction and further removing the effects of illumination and expression. First, a novel and efficient image preprocessing method based on rotation invariant LBP and gradient direction, which we name “GDP-face”, is proposed to extract the illumination insensitive face appearance, it can extract more discrimination information by adjusting the parameters. Experimental results on Extended Yale B and PIE data sets show that the GDP-face outperforms some compared state-of-the-art image preprocessing methods. Second, we apply the Spectral Regression Kernel Discriminant Analysis (SRKDA) which is an effective and efficient subspace learning algorithm to get a more compact, robust, and discriminative feature descriptor. Experimental results show that our framework is more efficient than some popular methods based on Gabor features or Local Binary Patterns Histogram features, and achieve a better performance than some state-of-the-art methods.

    Title:  Payload Mismatch Detection of Image Steganalysis Using Ensemble Linear Discriminant Clustering
    Authors:  Anxin Wu, Guorui Feng
    Affiliation:  (School of Communication and Information Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai, China)
    Abstract:  The contemporary method to image steganalysis assumes that steganalyzer must know the steganographic method and payload of the inspected objects. But, the payload of the suspicious objects generally unknown and if a steganalysis detector trained on one embedding parameter is applied to images with a different payload, generally the detection accuracy seriously drops due to the mismatch between the embedding and detecting parameter. In this paper, we propose a uniform detection model called ensemble linear discriminant clustering (ELDC) for a more actual kind of steganalysis to determine the object whose embedding parameter is unknown. We use stego images with any kind of embedding rate to train the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to obtain the discriminative space in each random subspace, and than we use K-means to achieve the clustering result of the testing set. The final class predictor is formed by combining the clustering result over each base. We do not confirm the decision-making threshold in the training phase, instead, utilize the unsupervised K-means algorithm to determine the objects adaptively. Experimental results on the MBs and nsF5 steganographic methods show that the developed scheme can effectively defeat this type of mismatch.

    Title:  Optimal Parallel MRI Reconstruction over a Convex Solution Space
    Authors:  Ifat-Al Baqee1 and Cishen Zhang1, Xin Gao2
    Affiliation:  (1Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn, Victoria 3122, Australia,
    Abstract:  In parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI), to find a joint solution for the image and coil sensitivity functions is a nonlinear and non-convex problem in the existing literature. It is shown in this paper that, if only the magnitude image is reconstructed, there exists a convex solution space for the magnitude image and sensitivity encoded images. This enables formulation of a regularized convex optimization problem and leads to a globally optimal and unique solution for the magnitude image reconstruction. Its applications to in-vivo MRI data sets result in superior reconstruction performance compared with other algorithms.

    Title:  A Convenient Method for Semiautomatic Atrial Body Segmentation
    Authors:  Yang Guang, Fu Yifan, Wu Jian
    Affiliation:  (Institute of Biomedical Engineering Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University Shenzhen, China)
    Abstract:  This paper introduces an improved level set algorithm based on Chan-Vese (C-V) models via reaction diffusion for atrial body segmentation. Before atrial body segmentation, a set of methods are used to extract left atrium and left ventricular as a preprocessing work. This set of method consists of the following steps. First, a bilateral filtering operation is applied to remove random noise caused by uneven contrast agent followed by an adaptive thresholding method to extract left atrium and the connected issues. Second, regional growth combined with active contour models are applied to extract left atrium including left atrial appendage, pulmonary veins and left ventricular. Clinical validation has been performed on 6 Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) datasets. The proposed algorithm achieved an average overlap rate of 98.3% compared with the software Amira (Visage Imaging, Australia). It takes about less than 3s for a 370×458 slice. The convergence speed of contour evolution with the proposed improved level set algorithm via reaction diffusion is nearly 5 times of the original C-V models. Besides, the proposed improved level set algorithm can solve the singularity problem of the convergence process effectively.

    Affiliation:  (1School of Automation and Information Engineering,  Xi'an University of Technology, Xi’an, 710048, China 2School of Electronics & Information, 
    Abstract:  Traditional Support Vector Regression (SVR) Machine acts as approximating a regression function. This paper, however, proposes a novel multi-class classification approach based on the SVR framework, called Support Vector Regression Machine with Consistency (SVRC). The contributions of this paper are: (1) To implement multi-class classification task, we replace the margin term with its l1 norm in the SVR framework; (2) To make the training data within the same class possess approximate contributions for the test sample reconstruction and thus improve the robustness, we construct a consistent matrix employing the class information and introduce the penalty term using it; (3) To pay more attention to using fewer possible classes to represent the test sample, and thus improve the accuracy of the test sample reconstruction, we utilize the corresponding local neighborhood relationship of the test sample to design a selection matrix. Experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is much better than that of some existing multi-class classification approaches.

    Authors:  Li Shijin,Li Huimin
    Affiliation:  (College of Computer and Information, Hohai University, Nanjing, China)
    Abstract:  The high-resolution remote sensing image classification is an important research topic in pattern recognition, and its computational complexity grows exponentially with the increases of the dimension. Hence, it is necessary to perform feature dimension reduction. This paper presents a comparative study on state-of-the-art feature selection and feature transformation methods for the task of high-resolution remote sensing image classification. We conduct a group of experiments on mRMR, PCA and KPCA for their applicability. Comparison results show that nonlinear dimension reduction method based on feature transformation is more suitable for the task at hand. What’s more, appropriate kernel function and kernel parameters are also essential. It is vital to reduce the dimension, which can alleviate the computational cost greatly and improve accuracy.

    Title:  A Geometric Constrainted HCRF for Object Recognition
    Authors:  Yingtuan Hou1, Xuetao Zhang2
    Affiliation:  (1AVIC Xi’an Flight Automatic Control Research Institute, Xi’an, China  2Institute of AI and Robotics
    Abstract:  In the present paper, a discriminative model for object recognition based on the Hidden Conditional Random Fields (HCRF) model is proposed. It impose the constraints on the positions of object parts with a star shape spatial prior. The proposed model can learn the ideal locations of parts, but also their spatial extent. Actually, the added constraints refine the assignment of part labels to local patches. Thus, our model can take advantage of appearance features and geometric structures in recognizing object. Efficient inference and parameter learning approaches are developed to handle the extra hidden variables (i.e. the positions of parts). Experiment results demonstrate the proposed model perform better than original HCRF model.

    Authors:  Yingjia Wu, Gongjian Wen, Feng Gao, Yaxiang Fan
    Affiliation:  (Science and Technology on ATR Lab National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, Hunan, China)
    Abstract:  In this paper, an algorithm of target region detection is proposed based on superpixel segmentation in the field of computer vision which is imported to high-resolution remote sensing images for superpixel-level rather than pixel-level target detection. For the problem of massive data, redundant information and time-consuming targets searching of high-resolution remote sensing images with complex scene and large size, the region of interest (ROI) extraction strategy based on a visual saliency map detection is adopted. Second, the multi-dimensional description vector of local feature is constructed via superpixels obtained from simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC). Third, combine with the prior information of the target to determine the threshold of feature, from which we select the candidate superpixels belong to target. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more effective in high-resolution remote sensing images, overcoming the situation of complex background interference and robust to the target rotation. In addition, the proposed algorithm performs favorably against the traditional sliding windows search algorithm. On one hand, significantly reduces the computing complexity of the search space, and achieves the data dimensionality reduction. On the other hand, it brings lower false probability and improves the detection accuracy.

    Authors:  Ge Ma, Yueming Hu, Hongxia Gao
    Affiliation:  (Engineering Research Center for Precision Electronic Manufacturing Equipments of Ministry of Education School of Automation Science and Engineering South China University of Technology, Guang Zhou, China)
    Abstract:  Linear inverse problems (LIP) have been widely employed in wavelet-based image deblurring problems. The standard way is to minimize L2-L1 norm by gradient descent search in the solution space, which is typically suffered from poor convergence and unwanted local optima. In this paper, an accelerated image deblurring method is proposed by using momentum based gradient search scheme combined with the projected step technique. By adding a momentum term to the typical negative gradient direction, iterative steps will be effectively enlarged in favorable directions and some specific local optimal points can be avoided. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms its competitors, both in time efficiency and image restored quality.

    Affiliation:  (1School of Information Science and Technology,  Northwest University, Xi’an Shaanxi 710127, China 2College of Computer Science and Technology, 
    Abstract:  SAR image denoising has been an active research topic. Some image denoising methods have been implemented in both spatial and transform domains. Although state-of-the-art denoising methods are numerically impressive, they produce Gibbs-like phenomenon. To solve this problem, we proposed a SAR image denoising algorithm, which is based on dual-domain image denoising (DDID) and cycle-spinning algorithm. The proposed approach tries to change the relative position of singularity point in an image, to find the average spinning within a specific range and to smooth the artifacts due to the Gibbs-like phenomenon. Compared with DDID and wavelet method, the denoised SAR images of the proposed algorithm are smoother and have much fewer man-made textures.

    Abstract:  The continued wave Radar is prior to the pulsed Radar in the short-range detection for its accuracy and low power. However, the detection range of CW Radar is short and it is worthy to improve the ability of its measurement. In this paper, we draw lessons from the coherent integration used in pulsed Radar and design a new coherent integration structure used in CW Radar based on auto-correlation function. We analysis the structure theoretically and make some simulation at the end of the paper. The simulation shows that the structure can accumulate targets signal coherently and the SNRI can reach 10log(M)dB, where M is times of integration.

    Affiliation:  (Department of Mathematics and System Science National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China)
    Abstract:  We consider the sampling of signals with finite rate of innovation (FRI) in parameter space to reach the minimal sampling rate. Although the sampling of signals with unknown time locations has been treated in previous works, it is difficult to sample the signals with unknown parameters in other parameter space. In this paper, we redefine the signal with FRI and propose a general framework of the FRI sampling. In addition, we design several different sampling schemes, including the single channel sampling, the multichannel direct sampling and the multichannel mixing sampling, to improve the sampling robustness and decrease the analog-to-digital (AD) conversion rate. By the discussions in the numerical experiment, we also show the signal with unknown parameters in time-frequency space can be sampled and reconstructed from the minimal-rate samples.

    Authors:  Xiangyu Deng, Zengli Liu
    Affiliation:  (Faculty of Information Engineering and Automation KunMing University of Science and Technology Kunming, China)
    Abstract:  Noise suppression is one of the key problems in image processing. In recent years, sparse representation theory is applied in image denoising successfully. The primary idea is to denoise an image via over-complete dictionary trained by K-SVD algorithm based on OMP (Orthogonal Matching Pursuit) algorithm. This method receives good performance on the quality of image denoising but slow computation speed because of high computational complexity. In order to speed up the computation while keeping image quality, this paper discusses a denoising method via the adaptive over-complete dictionary trained from noisy image using improved K-SVD algorithm and the steepest descent OMP algorithm. In this work, we replace OMP with the steepest descent OMP. Simulation results show this method leads to a better balance between denoising quality and the computation speed, and can improve performance than other methods. The PSNR values are used to measure the denoising quality, and it has been proven the PSNR values can be increased by our method meanwhile the running time can also be reduced to some extent.

    Abstract:  A novel acquisition method of the Long-range navigation (Loran)-C signal based on matched filter is proposed to improve the acquisition performance of Loran-C signal under heavy noise environment. Higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) could be obtained through matched filtering the received signals. Then outputs are correlated with standard pulse signal and the correlation peaks are judged. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that the proposed method can eliminate the noise effectively, the anti-noise performance is superior to -20decibel (dB) , improving about 10dB compared with the traditional methods, and higher acquisition processing gain is obtained, while its implementation is simple. It has important significance for designing digital Loran-C receiver.

    Abstract:  The single-phase grounding fault is the most common fault in the distribution network of resonant grounding. By analyzing the algorithm of arc suppression coil grounding, this paper presents a comprehensive selection algorithm based on mathematical morphology. The proposed algorithm carries out filters preprocessing of the line selection data by using two parallel composite structural elements morphological filters. Then, a method that combines morphological spectrum analysis and morphological peak and valley detection is applied to detect the fault. Results gained from verifying the algorithm by using MATLAB show that when a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the distribution network, this kind of algorithm is not affected by the system operation mode, time and distance of the fault, transition resistance, and the fault inception angle, which in turn proves that the algorithm has high anti-interference capability, adaptability and reliability.

    Abstract:  Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used to separate the relatively independent signals from the source. Gravity tide signal is a mixed signal which is caused by the moon and the sun, so ICA is applied to separate gravity tide signal in this paper. Because of the slowly convergence speed and local search for the target in ICA, Particle Swarm Optimization which could find target globally and quickly is proposed to search the optical target in ICA. Simulation results show that the method proposed in this paper solves the problem presented in ICA and separates gravity tide signal into three parts. Every part represents the signal which is corresponding to the theory frequencies of the harmonic component in gravity tide signal. So the method proposed in the paper can divide the signal into three parts which is corresponding to harmonic component automatically.

    Abstract:  An improved Gabor wavelet is proposed in this paper, of which the two parameters have clear physical meanings. Among two parameters, the frequency parameter is the center of symmetry of the wavelet’s amplitude spectrum and equal to the central frequency of the wavelet’s frequency window. The resolution factor parameter can adjust the support interval of the wavelet’s frequency spectrum function and the time-frequency resolutions of the wavelet function. Also, improved Gabor wavelet maps signals from a time domain to a time-frequency domain rather than the time-scale domain. Moreover, an inverse of this improved Gabor wavelet’s transform is proposed. Especially, this inverse transform can realize lossless signal reconstruction without the requirement for Gabor wavelet to satisfy the admissible condition. Finally, this paper discusses differences between Gabor wavelet complete transform and S transform, and verifies them by a real application.

    Abstract:  The l1 norm regularization problem, the l1 norm minimization problem and the l1 norm constraint problem are known collectively as the l1 norm based Basic Sparse Representation Problems (BSRPs), and have been popular basic models in the field of signal processing and machine learning. The equivalence of the above three problems is one of the crucial bases for the corresponding algorithms design. However, to the best our knowledge, this equivalence issue has not been addressed appropriately in the existing literature. In this paper, we will give a rigorous proof of the equivalence of the three l1 norm based BSRPs in the case when the dictionary is an over-completed and row full rank matrix.

    Abstract:  Deep learning attracts the interests of many researchers. Multidimensional algorithms require large data storage space.  This paper proposes a modeling of the combustion system used for Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFBB), which is based on the method of auto-encoder of deep learning. The 20 dimensional input samples set is the input layer, and then the units of hidden layer are calculated. The data dimension is reduced through the auto-encoder, further, these data are as input of the RBF network. The modeling is carried out by the Radical Basis Function (RBF) neutral network. Compared with traditional methods, the auto-encoder is suitable for modeling. The samples are greatly reduced for the subsequent work. Numerical results provided in this paper validate the proposed model and method, as well as the validity of the conversion from the auto-encoder strategy.

    Abstract:  Abstract—Dictionary learning aims to represent a given signal database Y as a product of a dictionary D and a sparse coefficient matrix X, as follows, Y ≃ DX with a sparseness constraint onX. Some existing dictionary learning methods, like MOD, KSVD,minimize the representation error, resulting a non-convex cost function, SBJ applied a first order series expansion for the product DX resulting a convex cost function, but is a poor approximation to the original cost function. In this paper, we propose a new measure to make sure the approximation is more accurate, and a closed-form solution is derived to solve the resulting problem. Simulation shows that our proposed algorithm outperforms the exiting ones at a price of computational load and convergence rate.
