Various estimators that use similar concepts are considered. The effect of noise on the accuracy of the chosen detector is analysed. Most importantly, general guidelines on choosing the average sampling rate within a given scenario are provided in order to guarantee sensing reliability. The extra requirement on the needed sampling rate imposed by the presence of noise is given. The analytical results are illustrated by numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":106989,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124610920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the two well known approaches, the greedy algorithms like matching pursuits (MP) are simpler to implement and can produce satisfactory results under certain conditions. In this paper, we compare several greedy algorithms in terms of the sparsity of the solution vector and the approximation accuracy. We present two new greedy algorithms based on the recently proposed complementary matching pursuit (CMP) and the sensing dictionary framework, and compare them with the classical MP, CMP, and the sensing dictionary approach. It is shown that in the noise-free case, the complementary matching pursuit algorithm performs the best among these algorithms.","PeriodicalId":106989,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128549657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compression is achieved by exploiting human sound localisation blur to save the surround soundfield information in a squeezed stereo soundfield. In this paper, the localisation loss during the S3AC analysis/synthesis is evaluated and the minimum size of the S3AC squeezed soundfield is derived in a frequency dependent form. Results from perceptual listening tests show that, compared with standard squeezing from a 360° surround soundfield to a 60° stereo soundfield, a msoundfield, a more intensive squeezing method, such as from 360°-to-5°, does notore intensive squeezing method, such as from 360°-to-5°, does not introduce audible localisation distortion. This leads to a further application of S3AC for compressing more than one surround soundfield into a single stereo downmix for applications such as spatialised teleconferencing.

By taking advantage of the cosine structure of the array Fisher information matrix (FIM), the FIM is reformulated to be completely represented by three parameters which depend on the array geometry, leading to a new FIM expression that reflects the impact of individual sensor relocations. The proposed expressions are particularly helpful for finding new sensor positions when given an objective FIM or CRB, and applies in certain more general scenarios. This usefulness is confirmed through the practical application of relocating a single sensor of an arbitrary planar array to achieve an FIM and CRB with given angular distribution.","PeriodicalId":106989,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127292369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the information given by the MEMS is less accurate than with classical INS.

We constructed four patterns, one for each transition (between Sit and Stand and also Stand and Lying Down); to be able to detect them, and to infer the current posture. To test this algorithm and verify that the patterns are independent of the subject, we asked fifteen people to reproduce a scenario and we present, in the last section of this article, the results obtained.

Furthermore, we develop the statistical analysis needed to extend the estimator to the optimally weighed GMM estimator, i.e. the weighted estimator achieving the minimum estimate variance. The theoretical analysis of the optimally weighted estimator performances is carried out in close form. Finally, the theoretical weighted estimator performances are compared with those of the unweighed estimator, of a state-ofart estimator and of the Cramèr-Rao lower bound. The performance improvement due to the optimal weighting is clearly appreciated, since, at medium to high SNR, it approaches the Cramèr-Rao lower bound on all constellations.","PeriodicalId":106989,"journal":{"name":"2009 17th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132862408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
