The coprime arrays are deployed in the framework of MIMO radar for sparse sensing, where an augmented virtual array can be generated from the difference coarray of sum coarray (DCSC) perspective. By implementing FFT on the second-order DCSC signals, it is shown that the DOAs can be retrieved from the resulting spatial response with an improved resolution. Moreover, neither the complex matrix operations nor the optimization problems are involved, indicating the efficient and hardware-friendly characteristic. Simulation results demonstrate the performance superiorities of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125229088","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}

This can simplify the implementation because all the signals are real valued. In this paper, the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in the first level of decomposition are obtained by applying the conventional EMD to an electrocardiogram (ECG). Then, the first IMF is further decomposed. More precisely, the zeros are inserted to the first IMF in the DCT domain. Then, the conventional EMD is applied to this zero inserted signal to obtain a new set of IMFs. Next, the DCT coefficients of the new set of IMFs where the zeros are inserted before are discarded. To perform the denoising and the QRS point enhancement, the first IMF in the second level of the decomposition is discarded. The rest of the IMFs in the second level of decomposition as well all the IMFs in the first level of decomposition except the first IMF in the first level of decomposition are summed together to obtain the processed signal. The computer numerical simulation results show that our proposed method can achieve significant improvements in terms of the denoising performance and the QRS point enhancement compared to the corresponding single level EMD based processing.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121680415","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}

Ghosting effects frequently happen because aforementioned condition is rarely satisfied in practice; so we propose adaptive local homographies to improve image alignment further based on as-projective-as-possible warp (APAP). Specifically, we introduce an adaptive inlier selection scheme for fitting local homographies while APAP adopts moving DLT to do this with improper global inliers, so our warp can be more ”local” than APAP while still globally projective. As experiments show our warp moderately outperforms APAP in alignment accuracy and deblurring especially in the case of large parallax, which leads to a powerful alternative to moving DLT with acceptable overhead.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131390796","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 design method is realized by cascading a model filter with a masking filter. The model filter is first designed and then interpolated to generate the desired impulse response replica. A sparse masking filter is used to mask the extra unwanted passbands. Unlike the interpolated FIR filter technique, both subfilters are designed as sparse filters by multiplierless algorithms to improve the overall sparsity of the filter. Simulation results show that the proposed cascaded realization of FIR filters results a significant improvement of sparsity than the conventional direct form or transposed direct form. It is also shown that the proposed method generates sparser solutions than the interpolated FIR filter technique due to the sparse design of subfilters.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131736793","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 CSP method easily overfits to the data of small training sets and its performance can be degraded by highly noisy and interference channels. Furthermore, more recording channels imply more processing and computation time in practical applications. To overcome these drawbacks, in this paper we propose a novel sparse CSP algorithm by introducing sparsity into spatial filters. The proposed method adopts $l_{1}$ norm as sparsity metric and constrains the ratio between variances of spatially filtered EEG signals of two classes larger than a specified threshold. To improve computational efficiency, an iterative approach based on general eigenvalue decomposition is further developed. The experimental results on 9 subjects from BCI competition datasets publicly available demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve comparable classification accuracy even when the number of channels is small.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128387093","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 alleviating the above problem, in this paper, we develop a class of data-aided channel estimation schemes based on the log-likelihood ratio(LLR) calculation at the receiver to track the channel variations for OFDM-IDMA systems.
