Employing the low computational complexity of recursive algorithms, some new schemes are developed for the parameter estimation of a class of time-varying systems. The temporal evolution of parameters is characterized through the autoregressive process, facilitating the construction of the identification model with regard to the autoregressive coefficients. Based on the computational efficiency of the gradient search, a parametric autoregression-based stochastic gradient algorithm is derived with an appropriate step size, achieving a compromise between the steepest descent and convergence rate. In order to address the limitation of the low estimation accuracy in gradient algorithms, a parametric autoregression-based multi-innovation stochastic gradient algorithm is explored by making use of the favorable information for corrections. The simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Various unwanted interferences also present in space that may hamper the perfect detection process. This paper proposes a novel near-field circular beamformer (NCB) that will perfectly detect the desired source signal from any direction and position in space. To improve the robustness of NCB against Direction of Arrival (DOA) error, distance error, unwanted interferences and noises, this work also offers robust NCBs (RNCB) using robust Optimal Diagonal Loading (ODL) and Variable Diagonal Loading (VDL) techniques. While searching for wanted signal, the beamformer provides a primary lobe at the look direction and shows some secondary unwanted side lobes for noise and interference. Sometimes these undesired side lobe levels (SLL) become so severe that it may create conflict in locating the precise position of the desired source. To reduce these SLL, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) techniques have been applied to RNCB. The simulation results show that the optimized RNCB significantly diminishes the objectionable SLL of non-optimized RNCB by choosing appropriate weight vector of antenna array without affecting the other antenna parameters. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have also been used to predict the weight vector for minimum SLL.</p>","PeriodicalId":10227,"journal":{"name":"Circuits, Systems and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141775302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the existing methodologies, particularly those analyzing ENF phase and frequency, are impeded by data clutter, redundancy, and incompatibilities with standard classification algorithms, leading to decreased detection efficacy. This study proposes a novel methodology employing Discriminant Component Analysis (DCA) for the fusion of ENF features, aiming to address these issues directly. By analyzing the distinct characteristics of ENF phase and frequency spectra, our approach uses DCA to merge these features effectively. This fusion not only amplifies the correlation between the features of phase and frequency but also simplifies the feature space through efficient dimensionality reduction. Additionally, to bridge the gap with traditional classification methods, we introduce a cascaded deep random forest algorithm, designed for intricate representational learning of the fused features. This sequential processing enhances the precision of our classification model significantly. Experimental results on both the Carioca and New Spanish public datasets demonstrate that our approach surpasses current state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and robustness, establishing its superiority in the field of digital audio tampering detection.
