In this paper we consider scenarios where sensors sense an object of interest and process the received measurements using adaptive thresholds to obtain quantized data in the form of two levels. The data are quantized to address resource constraints in sensor networks. The processed data are then sent to a fusion center which resolves the tracking problem by means of a particle filter which can handle non-linearities in the state model. The performance of various strategies for threshold adaptation is studied by computer simulations and the results reveal that improvement is obtained over scenarios with fixed thresholds.","PeriodicalId":220687,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131065178","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}

We propose using the jump-diffusion algorithm as a powerful stochastic tool that can be used to determine the number of walls, estimate their unknown positions and other parameters. We improve the convergence rate of the jump-diffusion algorithm by developing an iterative procedure that first finds low- resolution estimates, which are then used to initiate our more accurate estimation. Our efficient usage of the available frequency bandwidth, improves the computational speed that otherwise would be hampered by the forward electromagnetic modeling.","PeriodicalId":220687,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134097685","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}

With a pair of sensors, the generalized cross correlation (GCC) method is widely used for TDE and the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation can be considered as a GCC prefilter. Unfortunately, the ML estimation suffers from performance degradation due to the limitation of having only finite duration signals available for estimating source and noise power spectral densities. Also, its optimality is governed by the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and multipath environments. In this paper, we propose a method of Maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation of time delay based on the ML estimation by modeling the prior probability of time delay. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional ML estimation. It also ourperforms the phase transform (PHAT) method with moderate SNR in multipath environments.","PeriodicalId":220687,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116076454","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}

Given prior estimates of the locations and frequencies of the sound sources, such as those obtained using adaptive source localization, we characterize the spatio-temporal support of the sound field spectrum. This characterization allows the spatial sampling requirements to be reduced in comparison to when no prior estimates of the sources are utilized. We derive an adaptive interpolation kernel, based on the estimated spectral support, to reconstruct the sound-field function using measurements from sensors on a coarse spatial-sampling grid. Simulation results demonstrate the gain achieved in reduced sampling requirements by using the proposed adaptive interpolation approach.","PeriodicalId":220687,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122142313","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}

Abnormal ECG signals could appear any time in the day during regular patient activities.

Cancelling muscle contraction and motion artifacts from real time ECG signals is extremely vital for accurate ECG signal classification for analysis by trained medical specialists. The intent of this research was to develop a bi-electrode wireless acquisition system that captured and transmitted ECG signals and motion acceleration information to a host computer system for data capture and analysis.

The problem is of interest in military communications, where, in addition to frequency, hop timing may also be randomly shifted to guard against unauthorized reception and jamming. We have recently proposed (Sidiropoulos et al., 2006) a conceptually simple stochastic state-space model that captures the randomness in carrier frequency and hop timing, and is well- suited for application of particle filtering tools. In this contribution, we generalize the approach in (Sidiropoulos et al., 2006) to the multichannel case. In particular, we show that the importance function that minimizes the variance of particle weights can again be computed in closed form. The resulting multichannel particle filters are assessed and compared to their single-channel counterparts in pertinent simulation experiments.","PeriodicalId":220687,"journal":{"name":"2007 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132251989","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}
