It involves designing a FIR filter satisfying the given frequency response specifications and subsequently obtaining a significantly lower-order IIR filter using model reduction. The method is illustrated by a design example and is compared with a direct method for the design of linear-phase IIR filters using equalizers. The filter designed using the proposed technique gives a better constant group delay for an almost equal order.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256287,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceeding IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122975423","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}

An analysis of the variation in gradient direction is performed to estimate the probability density function of gradient direction as a function of image signal-to-noise ratio. A direction band about the mean of the PDF is determined on the basis of the minimum acceptable fraction of the cumulative neighborhood gradient magnitudes due to those gradients which have directions within the band. The proposed algorithm thus bases edgel detection on the distribution of local gradient direction rather than merely the magnitude response. Corners and small-radius curves are accommodated by permitting multiple histogram peaks with attendant reduction in both the minimum cumulative response fraction required and the direction bandwidth.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256287,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceeding IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122148304","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 performance of the system is presented for Rician channels with parameters derived from reported actual channel measurements at data rates of 32, 64, and 144 kb/s. It is found that the performance of these systems can be enhanced by exploiting the frequency diversity characteristic inherent in DS/SS signals. It is shown that the improvement in system performance is greatest when space diversity reception operates in tandem with DS/SS modulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256287,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceeding IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123912646","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 algorithm uses subband ADPCM coding combined with adaptive bit allocation over multiple subbands to achieve high audio quality at a net data rate of 4 b per sample. Subband coders are generally found to perform better than the equivalent full-band coder in subjective tests, even though the full-band coder may achieve a higher SNR rating. This is due to perceptual masking effects which cause the band-limited quantization noise below a certain threshold in each subband to be masked by the signal. Dynamic allocation of bits to subbands on a sample-by-sample basis, together with a simple multiplexing strategy, eliminates the need for side information and makes the algorithm robust in the presence of network bit errors.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256287,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceeding IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129517953","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}
