To avoid power hungry precise frequency generation, offset tolerant demodulation and detection schemes are investigated. A Short-Time DFT (ST-DFT) based detection for BFSK is introduced which improves the BER performance of an existing design by almost 1dB. Its BER performance and complexity are also compared to frequency offset tolerant DDBPSK demodulation. Additionally, the effect of wider filter required to capture signal in presence of frequency offset is considered. The trade-off between performance and complexity for different offset values and filter bandwidths is discussed. Both methods work independent of frequency offset; however, it is shown that wider filters do not affect ST-DFT BER performance in contrast with DDBPSK. This robustness is obtained at the expense of increased computational load.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130590138","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}

Recognizing the drowsiness of the driver is one of the surest methods for measuring driver drowsiness. In this paper a tracker has been created which plans to evaluate driver's fatigue, exhaustion, and diversion throughout driving. The framework composed is a non-intrusive constant checking framework and it consists of camera which keeps a vigilant eye on driver's movements to detect drowsiness. The algorithm developed is unique to any currently published papers, which was a primary objective of the project. The system deals with detecting eyes in an extracted image from video input. All the possible actions have been considered and output is generated accordingly. Drowsiness is determined by observing the eye blinking patterns of the driver. If eyes are found to be closed for a particular time period given by threshold value, the framework reaches the determination that the driver is nodding off and issues a notice flag. The system is implemented using Haar cascade object detector using OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library), which detects eyes from the input image. The system is also able to work under low lighting conditions.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121259936","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}

Two moving concentric windows are employed to determine the luminance value for replacing that of the center pixel. Three steps are involved in this filtering technique. First, the usual median filtering is applied to the smaller window. Second, the median filtering is applied to the larger window. Third, the two median filtered values are then compared to the original center pixel, and the median-filtered value closer to the center pixel is chosen to be the pixel's filtering output. Tests to the standard image corrupted with different amounts of additive and impulse noise show that the proposed algorithm consistently provides improved performance to the original median filtering of both window sizes.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114291917","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}

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a very promising technology for accurate indoor positioning with pre-installed receivers. An infrastructure-free methodology, called Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning (PDR), which uses an inertial measurement unit (IMU), can also be used for position estimation. In this approach, the drift errors of IMU in each step length estimation are compensated based on zero-velocity update (ZUPT), zero angular rate update (ZARU) and heuristic heading drift reduction (HDR) algorithms. An accurate step detection can be achieved by relying on the data provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes. In order to further improve the accuracy, a novel approach, which combines IMU PDR and UWB ranging measurements by Extended Kalman filter (EKF) without any pre-installed infrastructure, is proposed. All the components in this approach, the IMU, the mobile station (MS) and the receiver of the UWB are mounted on the feet. The biases in the IMU measurements, which cause inaccurate step length estimation, can be compensated by range measurements provided by UWB. The performance of the normal PDR with EKF is evaluated as comparison to the proposed approach. The real test results show that the proposed approach with EKF is the most effective way to reduce the error.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131115717","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}

Our block-feedback superposition coding scheme splits the transmit power between an Ozarow-like linear feedback code and a conventional code that ignores the feedback. We study the achievable sum rate for fixed error probabilities as a function of the blocklength. We use asymptotically optimal power allocation and further optimize the superposition via finding the optimal trade-off in the blocklengths that maximizes the achievable sum rate of the constituent schemes of the superposition.","PeriodicalId":268205,"journal":{"name":"2017 11th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129242568","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}
