Lowering the supply voltage of the full adder cell to achieve low power-delay product is a sensible approach to dramatically improve the power efficiency at sustainable speed of arithmetic circuits composed of such instances at high level design. In this paper, a novel design of a low power 1-bit full adder cell is proposed where the simultaneous generation of XOR and XNOR outputs by pass logic is exploited but with swing restoration circuit added to make ultra low voltage operation down to 0.5 V feasible. A novel complementary CMOS carry generation circuit is devised to produce full-swing and balanced outputs with strong drivability. Simulation results show that our full adder circuit outstrips many latest designs in energy efficiency and has the lowest power-delay product over a wide range of voltages among several low power adder cells of different CMOS logic styles.","PeriodicalId":218932,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2003.

The task of recovering the three most important parameters modeling the lens distortion of a digital camera is formulated as a problem of image warping where the distorted image of a planar calibration plate taken by the camera has to be registered onto the virtual undistorted image of the same target that would be produced by an ideal pinhole digital camera in a convenient position with respect to it. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is chosen for solving the associated minimization problem in which the cost function is the squared /spl Lscr//sub 2/ norm of the difference between the intensities of the reference and distorted image. In this paper, the algorithm is applied to a practical case of lens distortion correction, the experimental results reported here confirm the effectiveness of the image warping approach.","PeriodicalId":218932,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2003.

It is known that such modulations suffer from nonlinear distortion caused by the on board (nonlinear) high-power amplifier, so that countermeasures are to be adopted in this respect. The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility to adopt a suited mixture of adaptive data predistortion (DP) at the transmitter and adaptive nonlinear equalization (NLE) at the receiver to counteract nonlinear distortion at best. We show first that the sensitivity to nonlinear distortion of (uncoded) 16-QAM and 64-QAM constellations is greatly reduced by clever use of both techniques. We also investigate the performance improvement brought forth by such techniques when using a recently introduced optimized 16-APK constellation, as well as its extended 64-point version. We finally re-evaluate the optimized link performance assuming turbo-coded 16-QAM and 16-APK constellations with iterative SISO (soft input soft output) decoding.","PeriodicalId":218932,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2003.

System level simulation on the other hand can not contain all the link level processing, as this would be computational prohibitive. In this paper we analyze a possible interlace between the link level and the system level in the case of frequency selective channels based on the output of a space-time MMSE equalizer. We derive the theoretical signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the equalizer and show how this measure can be used to approximate the performance of the link. We show how the SINR can be translated in bit error rate (BER) and throughput, given as example the high speed downlink packet access system, and validate with computer simulations the accuracy of the interface.","PeriodicalId":218932,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2003.

It is usually taken as the golden standard for dimensionality reduction. However, PCA usually does not provide information about uncertainty of its results, thus preventing further investigation of model structure. A full Bayesian treatment is not feasible. Recently, variational PCA (VPCA) was proposed as an approximate Bayesian solution of the problem. In this paper, we summarise the iterative solution to the PCA problem arising from a variational approach. A new model with orthogonality restrictions is constructed in order to overcome its limitations. Notably, a highly efficient computational algorithm for variational PCA is revealed. It is applied in the analysis of functional medical images, yielding solution in a fraction of the time needed by the conventional technique.","PeriodicalId":218932,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2003.
