Range images have the advantage of capturing the shape variation irrespective of illumination variabilities. We describe a procedure for generating RI effaces using data from a 3D scanner, and registering them in the image plane by aligning salient facial features. For statistical analysis of RI, we use standard projections such as PCA and ICA, and then impose probability models on the coefficients. An experiment describing recognition effaces using the FSU 3D face database is presented.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

The novel method is suitable for FDD systems, shortening the effective channel impulse response and, additionally, achieving out-of-band noise reduction. A family of solutions based on linear phase FIR equalizers is described. The mathematical framework for all symmetric filters is developed. Channel shortening and bit rate simulation results for several VDSL test loops, show that the novel method yields a similar performance and reduces the out-of-band noise, with a considerably lower mathematical complexity and a simpler implementation.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

The use of dual polarization empowers the STFDs and improves the robustness of the respective signal and noise subspaces. With the additional polarimetric information, improved direction finding performance can be achieved. To demonstrate such advantages, the polarimetric time-frequency MUSIC (PTF-MUSIC) method is proposed based on the SPTFD platform and is shown to outperform the MUSIC techniques based on the time-frequency, polarimetric, and conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

We consider the case where the complex fading factor fluctuates from one pulse repetition interval (PRI) to another one. Numerical simulations are provided to assess the performance of the approach, which is compared to the standard stochastic maximum likelihood derived for a white Gaussian noise.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

We then show that, unlike independent component analysis (ICA) methods, our approach can separate dependent signals, provided there exist some areas in the time-frequency plane where only one source occurs. We achieve this attractive property because, whereas ICA methods aim at creating independent output signals, we use another concept, i.e. we directly estimate the mixing matrix by using the time-frequency information contained in the observations. Detailed results concerning mixtures of voice and music signals are presented and show that this approach yields very good performance for signals, which cannot be separated with traditional ICA methods.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

The proposed method has been tested with two different classification methods in order to ensure generality of the method.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.

We propose in [Fatma Abdelkefi et al., 2001], a decoding algorithm in three steps: (1) estimate the number of impulse noise, (2) seek the location, and (3) correct the errors. Two control tests are introduced: the first is at the beginning of the decoding algorithm in order to detect the presence of impulsive noise and the second is introduced after the decoding operation in order to detect malfunction. In this paper, we explain these two tests which are based on the Bayes test and on syndrome vector. This approach is new in impulse noise cancellation in multi-carrier transmission. The efficiency of this technique is also corroborated with simulations in the practical context of Hiperlan2.","PeriodicalId":264814,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003.
