Sparseness of the signal, in either time or frequency, is required for the convex optimization in compressive sensing to perform well. Although sparseness of certain signals, in either time or frequency, is guaranteed by the uncertainty principle signals composed of chirps are not however sparse in either domain. In this paper we propose an orthogonal linear-chirp transform, the discrete linear chirp transform (DLCT), to represent any signal in terms of linear chirps, with modulation and dual properties. Using the DLCT the sparseness of the signal in either time or frequency can be assessed, and if not sparse in neither of these domains, the modulation and dual properties of the DLCT provide a way to transform the signal into a sparse signal. The application of the proposed DLCT is in data compression. The transformation is illustrated by using sparse and not sparse test signals as well as actual signals.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"1038 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":"131513220","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}

If packets are not available on time, the packets are considered lost. The easiest solution in a network terminal receiver is to replace silence for the duration of lost speech segments. In a high quality communication system, to avoid degradation in speech quality due to packet loss, a suitable method or algorithm is needed to replace the missing segments of speech. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive filter for replacement of lost speech segment. In this method Kalman filter as a state-space based method will be used to predict the clean speech signal in presence of additive noise. The evaluation results show that Kalman filter has lower MSE compared to other methods in presence of White Gaussian Noise and background noise.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"268 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":"132909200","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 microwave dispersive line is implemented based on a time-spectrum convolution system. This proposed technique has three key features. The first feature is that non-periodic input chirped microwave pulses can be single-shot compressed. The second one is that the compression system is programmable by shaping the spectrum of a broadband multi-wavelength laser or by tuning the first-order dispersion of a dispersive element. The last one is that microwave dispersive line provides an ultrahigh microwave dispersion approaching several ns2 over GHz bandwidths. The microwave dispersive line used to implement single-shot microwave pulse compression is theoretically analyzed and verified by a proof-of-concept experiment.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"1 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":"127882137","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}

If there are many such points, a lot of time will be needed in the matching and recognition phases. For this reason, we have tried in this article to use the clustering technique in order to reduce the number of key points by omitting similar points. In other words, subtractive clustering is used to select key points which are more distinct from and less similar to other points. In the section on conclusions, a successful implementation of this method is presented. The efficiencies of the proposed algorithm and of the base SIFT algorithm on the data set ALOI were investigated and it was observed that by adding this method to the base SIFT descriptor the rate of recognition increases by two percent and the time complexity decreases by 1.035728 seconds.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"1 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":"129195448","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 addition, at birth, EEG signals are recorded from at-risk newborns. Studies have shown that both fetal movements and newborn EEGs are non-stationary signals. This paper aims to represent both newborn EEG and fetal movement signals in a time-frequency domain using a specifically designed time-frequency distribution (TFD) that is well adapted to these types of data for the purpose of analysis, detection and classification. The approach to design the quadratic TFDS is based on relating separable-kernel TFDS to DSP spectral window and digital filter design. To reach this goal, we compared recently proposed TFDs such as the Modified B distribution, a separable Gaussian distribution and the B distribution. Then, an extension of the modified B distribution (MBD) is proposed, referred to as the extended separable-kernel MBD. This new TFD uses a separable kernel based on an extension of the modified B kernel in both time and frequency domain with different windows for each domain. Simulation results are provided to compare the proposed Method with different TFDs and to assess its performance. The new TFD is then first applied to real fetal movement data recorded using accelerometers.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"62 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":"128480265","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}

SGMM models are trained from disabled speakers' utterances and PV scores are computed directly from distances between disabled and reference speaker projection vectors. An experimental study was performed to evaluate the performance of the SGMM based approach with respect to an approach based on the lattice posterior probabilities. A reduction in equal error rate (EER) of approximately 15% was obtained when the SGMM based scores were combined with lattice posterior probabilities.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"32 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":"128699517","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 address the case where condition a) doesn't hold, as often happens in concrete applications. In such cases the co-training is unable to converge to the optimal Bayesian classifier, because samples added in the training set are not distributed according to the class-conditional distributions, even if their assigned label is correct.

If optical systems at their early stage included weak digital processing in the electrical domain, a fast evolution towards completely all-optical technologies arises due to the bottleneck caused by the electronics bandwidth limitation.

Nowadays, algorithm complexity capable of mitigating for linear and nonlinear fibre impairments is becoming unsustainable due to huge level of parallelization and power demand. For such a reason one possible evolution will include processing both in the electronic and optical domain.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"532 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":"116707988","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}
