The results demonstrate that the EMD-based noise detector enables a better separation between the clean and noisy signals when compared to the competing methods. It also leads to an average SNR improvement of 4.4 dB for the resulting enhanced signals.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121276358","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}

Sensors with known positions collect noisy signals whose strength depends on the relative position between the sensors and the source. A nonlinear system of equations is obtained which is then recast into a linearized least squares (LS) problem, which resembles a multilateration scenario. From the LS problem a low-complexity Adaptive Network (AN) solution is proposed via a distributed Diffusion Least Mean Square (LMS) implementation. Two well known signal strenght models are reformulated to fit the AN framework. The resulting distributed solution inherits the robustness, low complexity and intrinsic tracking ability of ANs. Simulations show the effectiveness of the new method in noisy scenarios when localizing stationary sources and when tracking moving targets, even for a small number of sensors.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132628655","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}

An efficient method based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is designed. ADMM provides an elegant approach for handling nonnegativity constraints, while taking advantage of the structure of the objective function. Numerical tests on simulated matrices show the interest of the proposed method for low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values when the similarity transformation matrix is ill-conditioned. The ADMM was recently used for the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) of nonnegative tensors leading to the ADMoM algorithm. We show through computer results that DIAG+, a semi-algebraic CPD method using our ADMM-based JEVD+ algorithm, will give a better estimation of factors than ADMoM in the presence of swamps. DIAG+ also appears to be less time-consuming than ADMoM when low-rank tensors of high dimensions are considered.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125688268","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}

In this paper, a mixture of super Gaussian distributions is adopted as a source prior for the FastIVA algorithm. In this mixed source prior, a Student's t distribution is adopted to model the high amplitude information in the spectrum of a speech signal and another super Gaussian distribution with less heavy tails is used to model the rest of the information. Moreover, in the proposed mixed source prior the weight of both distributions can be varied according to the frequency dependent amplitude of the speech signals. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by using the imaging method and binaural room impulse responses and comparison is made with the FastIVA using the original super Gaussian source prior.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121473467","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}

More specific, we assume that only long-term CSI is available for the antenna selection, but perfect CSI can be obtained for the significantly smaller effective channel that results from the antenna selection. Aim of the development is the maximization of the capacity of the resulting channels namely for the cases of high and low SNR. Additionally, the proposed selection algorithms avoid exhaustive search over all possible antenna sets, as this approach is infeasible for large antenna arrays. Finally, all results are illustrated by numeric simulations. When selecting 8 × 8 antennas out of 128 × 128 with the proposed algorithms, for Ricean K factor K = 1, a medium signal-to-noise-ratio of 10dB and strong spatial correlation the maximum spectral efficiency can be increased by more than 50 percent compared to a conventional 8 × 8 MIMO system with the same parameters.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121923084","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}

The complex-valued frequency spectra of nonstationary signals do not have zero spectral correlation, as is assumed for wide-sense stationary processes. Instead, these spectra have non-zero second-order noncircular statistics-that is, they are not rotationally invariant-that are potentially useful for detection, classification, and enhancement. These noncircular statistics are especially significant for transient events, which are common in many natural signals. In this paper we provide practical and effective estimators for spectral noncircularity and spectral correlation. We illustrate the behavior of our spectral noncircularity estimators for synthetic signals. Then, we derive a generalized likelihood ratio test using both circular and noncircular models and show how estimates of spectral noncircularity provide performance improvements for detection of natural acoustic events.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115556090","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}

While maximum coherence is a popular metric in compressive sampling, we also consider rms LN-coherence, which focuses on the largest LN (instead of one) inner products between different columns of the dictionary matrix. Finding a dictionary matrix optimizing either the maximum or the rms LN-coherence lead to a complicated optimization problem. Hence, we introduce a new metric called coherence deviation (CD), which gives a measure on the variation of all the inner products between different columns of the dictionary matrix, and motivate its use as an amenable alternative for both the maximum and rms LN-coherence. While finding a dictionary matrix optimizing the CD leads to a simplified optimization problem, the resulting cost function is a quartic function of a binary vector variable. Hence, we propose Greedy-β algorithm to provide sub-optimal solutions.","PeriodicalId":159236,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115709468","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}
