The upper limit of such DE schemes in a single embedding level is usually bounded by 1 bpp. In order to obtain more than 1 bpp, several embedding stages are chained. The multibit DE schemes expand n times the difference in order to embed up to log2 n bpp. This paper proposes a multibit extension of the difference expansion reversible watermarking and compares the results with the multilevel embedding case. The multibit reversible watermarking outperforms the multilevel one both in capacity and quality.

In these cases, the classical definition of identifiability, which requires calculation of the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) and of its rank, is often difficult or impossible to be implemented. Instead, the Modified FIM (MFIM) can be usually computed. We generalize the main results on parameter identifiability to take the presence of random nuisance parameters into account. We provide an alternative definition of identifiability that can be always applied also in the presence of nuisance parameters and we investigate the relationships between the classical and the new identifiability conditions. Finally, the new definition of identifiability is applied to a common estimation problem in netted radar systems: the relative grid-locking problem.","PeriodicalId":201182,"journal":{"name":"2012 Proceedings of the 20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121834483","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 frequency-warping operation aimed at increasing the frequency resolution is shown to modify the nonstationarity kind of the analyzed process. Specifically, in several cases of interest, the frequency-warped process is shown to belong to the recently introduced class of the spectrally correlated processes. Spectral correlation density estimation is performed by frequency smoothing the periodogram along curves in the bifrequency plane instead of lines with unit slopes as in the case of wide-sense stationary and almost-cyclostationary processes. Application to cyclic spectral analysis of the GPS-L1 signal is considered.","PeriodicalId":201182,"journal":{"name":"2012 Proceedings of the 20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115824007","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}

Previously, we have developed the catalog-based separation method with the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. In the probabilistic point of view, IS divergence corresponds to a complex Gaussian observation model. Comparison of divergence measures or observation models in speech-music separation task is carried out with both of catalog-based and traditional Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) methods. The separation performance is compared using Speech-to-Music Ratio (SMR), Speech-to-Artifact Ratio (SAR) and speech recognition performance measure via the Word Error Rate (WER). We showed that, using IS divergence in both of catalog-based or NMF based speech-music separation methods yields better separation performance than KL divergence. Moreover, in this study, it is shown that catalog-based approaches with both divergence measures outperform traditional NMF based approaches in speech recognition experiments.","PeriodicalId":201182,"journal":{"name":"2012 Proceedings of the 20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125061068","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}

User selection by exhaustive search can be simplified to greedy approaches, in which one user gets added at a time. In this paper, we review an approximate criterion for MISO BF-style selection. For a sufficient amount of users, multiple receive antennas do not lead to increased spatial multiplexing, but we indicate how they affect the high SNR rate offset. The resulting added diversity can be exploited at the cost of more involved user selection and transceiver design. We thus propose a novel receiver design for BF-style MU-MIMO stream selection.","PeriodicalId":201182,"journal":{"name":"2012 Proceedings of the 20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116541913","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 order to avoid the use of a manual voice activity detector in the new DPAP algorithm, we have adapted then applied the technique proposed in [1] to the FBSS structure and for the new proposed algorithm.
