Such survey data is usually corrupted by different types of noise and other distortions. Under these conditions, the recovery of correct seismic amplitudes has become more challenging. The accuracy of such amplitudes is of primary importance in the pipeline of seismic interpretation. In this work, we introduce a seismic image denoising approach based on the Bilateral filter with Elliptic Gaussian kernel (BFEGK). The Bilateral filter is a non-linear filter that preserves edges and reduces noise. We enhance the filter for seismic image denoising by formulating an elliptic Gaussian kernel. We utilize the interquartile range to obtain a robust estimate of the noise standard deviation. Under Gaussian noise scenarios, the performance is compared to dictionary learning (DL) based denoising, standard Bilateral Filter with Noise Thresholding (BFMT), and Wavelet thresholding (WT) methods using real seismic images. Our proposed method exhibits the closest performance to the DL based denoising compared to GBF and WT methods with a significantly reduced computational load.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132753480","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 contrary to typical motion capture pattern recognition problem in this case we use only single inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. Head motions that we want to recognize in VR systems might be both natural head motions like nodding or shaking head (they might be used while interacting with VR avatars) and also elements of head-based navigation system or interface. The second type of actions is more challenging because it might contains actions that generate motion trajectories that do not appear in real-life, though they have to be possible to execute only by using a head. In this paper we propose a trajectory-based motion features description that is utilized by dynamic time warping (DTW) classificator. The training of the classificator requires using modified dynamic time warping barycenter averaging (DBA) heuristic algorithm which utilizes quaternions to represents rotations. The proposed pattern recognition system together with its evaluation on the set of head motions acquired by VR system is our original contribution. We have evaluated our method on dataset consisted of 8 types of motions performed by two persons (there are 160 motions samples). In leave-one-out evaluation we have obtained very good results: only 10% of one and 15% of another action has been incorrectly classified, while remaining 6 actions classes had been 100% correctly classified. Both dataset and implementation of proposed method can be downloaded, due to this our experiment can be reproduced.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127195895","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}

Based on the fact that the jamming-to-target ratio (JSR) is always positive, the estimation methods for different parameters of SMSP jamming are given. The jamming signal is reconstructed and then suppressed by subtracting it from the mixed signal.

Deep learning algorithms, which exhibit strong modeling and representational capabilities, have been successfully adopted in fields such as image and language processing.

Owing to local connection and weight sharing, the number of parameters is reduced to some extent, but there are still many parameters and the deeper the network, the larger is the number of parameters. The network performance is strongly influenced by the parameter settings. To obtain the optimal CNN parameters for HSI classification, this paper proposes a classification method based on a CNN with parameter tuning (CNN-PT). The network parameters are tuned in turn according to the unique variable principle. Simulation results show that the proposed CNN-PT method has considerable potential for HSI classification compared to previous methods.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122421741","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 very well-known applications are safety-health, security, entertainment and billing. Numerous data mining and machine learning algorithms have been proposed for such issue. Equally, many technologies could be used to observe the people activities to identify their gender and activities. However, the existing solutions and applications suffer from privacy and cost to deploy the solution and their obtained accuracy. For example, when the CCTV camera or Kinect sensors technology are used to identify people, such technologies will violate the privacy since most of the people do not want to take their pictures or videos during their daily activities. Therefore, to tackle such issue, this paper presents a new scheme to identify the gender of the people via onboard Smartphone sensors including accelerometer sensor. Such a scheme requires little interaction with the people; individuals would simply have to hold his/her smartphone and walk normally. Four different data mining techniques and machine learning algorithms are used to identify people gender including: Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) and Deep learning algorithm (recurrent-neural-network long-short-term-memory ‘RNN-LSTM’). Further, a set of experiments are conducted via Android-based smartphones (to read smartphone accelerometer sensor) and MATALB-2018a packages used to perform the validity of the scheme. The obtained results from the experiments show that the accuracy of the gender identification is about 94.11% via deep learning algorithm (RNN-LSTM) and is around 83.75% by using DT algorithm.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131567714","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}

Due to buildings openings, huge signal attenuation can be observed depending on the height at which the Mobile Equipment (ME) is located from the ground. Unfortunately, RF engineers pay less attention to this height selection, and this can greatly impact the reliability of results. In addition, Special Drive Test Route (SDTR) provides good results for indoor RF coverage assessment as compared to random methods, but the impact of itineraries direction was not covered. Thus, the impacts of mobile equipment height position from ground and SDTR itineraries direction have been deeply studied. As a result, worst signal power is always observed when the ME is located at ground level and we recommend this position as reference while performing indoor RF coverage assessment. Also, by carefully choosing itinerary path direction, results reliability can be improved by 67.5%.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"332 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123516922","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, an efficient background timing skew calibration algorithm is proposed to minimize its effects. The proposed Algorithm detects the sampling-time mismatches between sub-ADCs by estimating the skew-related errors with a reference channel and aligns the sampling edge of each sub-ADC to that of the reference channel by analog variable-delay lines in the negative feedback loop. Compared with conventional background calibration methods based on complex algorithms or serious input restrictions, the proposed technique detects timing skews by only negligible hardware consisting of simple digital blocks and is applicable for a wide range of input including completely random signals. The detailed theoretical analysis and sufficient simulated results revealed that this calibration algorithm can greatly attenuate skew-related spurs and improve the property of the TIADC system significantly. What's more, it's not sensitive to some non-ideal components in actual circuits like mismatches between channels or jitters in clock circuits, which verifies the practicability and robustness of this method.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122085016","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}

For this purpose, the first and second order gradients are proposed to tackle the problem of AD diagnosis. Then the effectiveness of combined gradients is also investigated. The experiment results show that the first order gradients can give the best performance with an accuracy of 94.78% in AD diagnosis, which outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, while for classifying progressive MCI (pMCI) from stable MCI (sMCI), the combined gradients are suggested.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125499871","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}
