However, this does not impact the reconstruction of the finite alphabet signals.

While a multi-sample fusion architecture reduces false rejects, it also increases false accepts. This impact on performance also depends on the nature of subsequent attempts, i.e., random or adaptive. Expressions for error rates are presented and experimentally evaluated in this work by considering the multi-sample fusion architecture for text-dependent speaker verification using HMM based digit dependent speaker models. Analysis incorporating correlation modeling demonstrates that the use of adaptive samples improves overall fusion performance compared to randomly repeated samples. For a text dependent speaker verification system using digit strings, sequential decision fusion of seven instances with three random samples is shown to reduce the overall error of the verification system by 26% which can be further reduced by 6% for adaptive samples. This analysis novel in its treatment of random and adaptive multiple presentations within a sequential fused decision architecture, is also applicable to other biometric modalities such as finger prints and handwriting samples.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134422555","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 had also provided the extension of SCT in designing schedulers for uniform multiprocessor systems [8]. As we had considered discrete time models in our scheduler design, the state sizes were substantially large, and increased exponentially with the number of real-time tasks. In order to reduce the state space explosion problem in our models, we have utilized a modified form of symbolic modeling methodology [3], along with the pre-stable algorithm proposed in [3], for reducing state space while designing schedulers for real-time tasks on uniprocessor systems.

The time-varying periodicity, or instantaneous frequency, of the PLEDs is a potentially important prognostic feature. Estimating the instantaneous frequency, however, is difficult because of the concurrent presence of background activity and artefacts. Here we present a method to enhance the instantaneous frequency features in the joint time-frequency domain. The procedure 1) enhances the PLED spikes in the time-domain using a simple energy operator; 2) transforms to the time-frequency domain using a separable-kernel distribution; and 3) uses a homomorphic filtering approach, within the time-frequency domain, to remove spectral modulation. Existing methods for instantaneous-frequency estimation are then applied to this enhanced time-frequency distribution. We show working examples with EEG epochs but have yet to test the method over an entire EEG database.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130994556","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 core idea behind our proposed technique is to apply SVM on the 3D-DCT coefficients of hyperspectral images in order to determine which coefficients (support vectors) are more critical for being preserved. Our method not only exploits redundancies between the bands, but also uses spatial correlations of every image band. Consequently, as simulation results applied to real hyperspectral images demonstrate, the proposed method leads to a remarkable compression ratio and quality.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133267398","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 introduce the reassigned Stockwell spectrogram by re-mapping the surface of the spectrogram of the Stock-well transform with the aim to improve its readability. We first define and mathematically validate the channelized instantaneous frequency (CIF) and the local group delay (LGD) for the Stockwell transform. At any given point in the time-frequency domain, the associated CIF and LGD provide a re-estimation of the time arrival and instantaneous frequency of the signal component observed at that point. Thus, the reassigned Stockwell spectrogram has signal energy highly concentrated at the instantaneous frequency/group delay curves and greatly increases the resolution and readability of the time-frequency structure of the underlying signal. The instantaneous frequencies of signal components can then be extracted by detecting the local energy peaks in the reassigned Stockwell spectrogram. The difference between the reassigned and conventional Stockwell spectrograms is illustrated using both synthetic and real signals.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134623739","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}

Most methods in the literatures are based on pixel intensity comparison. When images are taken at different illumination conditions or using different sensors, it is very unlikely that the corresponding pixels will have the same intensity creating false correspondences if it is only based on intensity matching functions alone. In this paper, a novel hierarchical radiometric invariant method is proposed to solve this problem. Pixels on different disparity planes in a local window are assigned the same label as the central pixel to solve the boundary problem. A more robust mutual information similarity function is used to compare the similarity of windows. A hierarchical structure is proposed to reduce the computational burden caused by using mutual information similarity function. Experimental results demonstrate that both the visual quality and quantitative analysis of the proposed algorithm outperforms most commonly used algorithms in the literatures.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115552457","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}
