Pseudo-orthogonal excitations enable multiple Tx probes to be operated simultaneously so that many measurements can be taken at once. The constraints assure minimal disruption of conventional hardware arrangements and guarantee a good exploitation of the power conversion abilities of the Tx probes. The goal is to seek a progressive management of the trade-off between contrasting merit factors.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116784296","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 challenge stems from the availability of a large number of user equipment with different capabilities, range of viewing preferences, as well as diverse network characteristics. With the target of facilitating 3D media delivery to multiple users simultaneously and in a synchronised way with consistent and high quality, the ROMEO project [1] focuses on developing new methods for compressing 3D multi-view video and spatial audio, as well as optimising the networking and compression jointly by incorporating content aware adaptation across the Internet. The approach combines the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) technology together with a Quality of Experience (QoE) aware Peer-to-Peer (P2P) distribution system. This paper introduces the overall system architecture of the project, outlines its several building blocks, and provides some preliminary results.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133556258","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 addition, capturing HDR images by commercial digital cameras is problematic. In this paper, we propose an image enhancement technique of fusing two images with different exposures. In order to reduce unnatural color changes in the fused image, initially we modify the lightness of the less-exposed image according to that of the highly exposed image. Then, we design a Markov random field model (MRF) by considering a gradient, chrominance, and smoothness constraint. Further, the MRF model is optimized via belief propagation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generates more natural results than other state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132186781","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 primary ethical issue invoked by surveillance activities in general is that of privacy. In order to ensure that a surveillance system framework complies with the legal, ethical and privacy requirements of the law, in this paper we present a Surveillance Ontology extending the SKOS foundational ontology. The objective of this ontology is to translate the high-level linguistic rules into the information that can be processed and used to assess the compliance of the video analysis module with the rules defined.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124924449","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 attack could retrieve all the key bits by using 75% lesser power traces when compared to the single fixed reference bit and 50% lesser power traces compared to the double fixed reference bits approaches which are applied on the same implementation earlier.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123146259","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}

Although the proposed sparse reconstruction based methods lead to motivating results, yet none of them has considered the fact that the information contained in different multispectral channels may be mutually correlated. In this paper, we extend the Sparse Fusion of Images (SparseFI, pronounced “sparsify”) algorithm, proposed by the authors before, to a Jointly Sparse Fusion of Images (J-SparseFI) algorithm by exploiting these possible signal structural correlations between different multispectral channels. This is done by making use of the distributed compressive sensing (DCS) theory that restricts the solution of an underdetermined system by considering an ensemble of signals being jointly sparse. The algorithm is validated with UltraCam data. In the final presentation, results with Hyspex data will be presented.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125325297","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, we present a precise 3D ultrasonic positioning system for medical applications, using a robust steepest descent optimization algorithm, to estimate the 3D position of an ultrasonic transmitter. Our experimental results show that the proposed system has the precision required for medical applications and has lower cost and complexity when compared with the alternative traditional optical systems.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128055079","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 work, this problem is studied from the viewpoint of compressive sensing (CS) and a CS-based method is provided. Although there have been CS-based methods proposed for the design of narrowband arrays, its extension to the wideband case is not straightforward, as there are multiple coefficients associated with each sensor/microphone and it is not sufficient to simply minimize the l1 norm of the weight coefficients to obtain a sparse array solution. To achieve this, a modified l1 norm minimization method is derived and its effectiveness is verified by design examples.","PeriodicalId":180360,"journal":{"name":"2013 18th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128271392","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}
