This effect provides unique features for classification in radar systems. In this paper, the micro-Doppler spectra and range-Doppler matrices of single bird and bird flocks are obtained by simulations for linear FMCW radar. Obtained range-Doppler matrices are compared for single bird and bird flock under several scenarios and new features are proposed for classification.","PeriodicalId":256154,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115156692","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 underlying reason of crosstalk in stereoscopic displays is mainly due to the technological methodology applied in the display hardware. Lack of stereoscopic isolation between the left and right image pairs causes both images to be partly observed by each eye. This causes deterioration or even total loss in the observed 3D perception. The proposed study offers a method to reduce the observed crosstalk in real time and hence creating a superior 3D perceptual quality.","PeriodicalId":256154,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125139398","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 GLM, it is assumed that each active voxel responds similarly and linearly towards a given stimulus. In ICA, an unsurmountable number of independent time series are produced, one of which is assumed to reflect the activity pattern. In this study, we used minimal number of assumptions to estimate an underlying HRF (hemodynamic response function) from a given fMR time series, and then used the estimated HRFs to classify voxels as active or passive.

We used the ray tracing method for the radio propagation channel modeling during this study. The test results showed high level of correlation between received signals in cases where one and two beams were effective as reflections even though the distance between the antennas was bigger than the wavelength. Furthermore, we observed that the channel capacity increased as the correlation between sub-channels increased.","PeriodicalId":256154,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122377196","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 life risk of suffering of an osteoporotic fracture is estimated to be 30% for 50 years old and in postmenopausal period woman. Early diagnosis is quite important for osteoporosis. A fall can be easily result in a fracture; these are common in the hip, at the neck of the femur, the wrist and the spine, if it's not treated sequences on time. Be inspiring from this problem we aimed to build up an image processing method for helping to early diagnosis. In this study we obtained features via wavelet transform from Computerized Tomography images. Classification is achieved by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). As a result for ANN, we accomplished 70% correct osteoporosis classification from early period images. SVM classification increased the accuracy and we have reached up 86% correct classification. These successful results make a significant contribution to early diagnosis of osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":256154,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122484364","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 best three old techniques for image fusion (IHS, Brovey, and Wavelet) are also tested in this paper. The performances of the existing and the proposed methods are calculated using Correlation Coefficient and Root Mean Square Error. Here we used our method to merge the panchromatic image of IKONOS sensor (1m resolution) with its multispectral image (4m resolution). Multiwavelet based image fusion method provides richer information in both spatial and spectral domains than the Wavelet based method, and the results clearly demonstrate the advantages of this approach.","PeriodicalId":256154,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123020157","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}
