All of the methods in question hide data while the multistage quantization of the LSF parameters is in progress. Some of the given methods have already been published in the previous studies, on the other side most of the methods are novel and introduced in this study. The methods are applied to standard speech samples. The assorted methods are compared with each other using the distortion resulted from the hidden data insertion, which are calculated in forms of weighted Euclidian distances and spectral distortions. According to the comparison results, the methods which carry out QIM at the third and fourth stages of the multistage quantizer, distort the signal as much as the transmission channel including 10-3 bit rated white noise.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117117617","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}

Radar can operate far away from potential targets, and functions during the daytime as well as nighttime in virtually all weather conditions. In this paper, we examine the problem of human target detection and identification using single-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. A 12-point human model, together with kinematic equations of motion for each body part, is used to calculate the expected target return and spectrogram. The unique characteristics of the human spectrogram are analysed and used to design a prototype for an automated gender discrimination scheme. Simulation results show a 83.97% detection rate for males and 91.11% detection rate for females. Inherent deficiencies of spectrogram-based methods are discussed. Future work will focus on the development of an alternative solution for overcoming these deficiencies.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126749166","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}

This integration may include inertial sensors, global navigation satellite systems, radar altimeter, barometric altimeter, digital terrain maps and etc. Mostly a Kalman filter is designed to fuse the sensor data and to calculate the navigation data. In order to validate and test the integration algorithm, a comprehensive software testbed has to be developed. In this paper, we develop such a testbed for integrated navigation systems where the sensor data is modeled with real time errors. Using this testbed it is possible to try different scenarios in the software environment for any navigation system whereas to test such scenarios with the hardware systems is too costly and even may be impossible. This testbed is also suitable for performing Monte-Carlo simulations and covariance analysis. A well-known terrain referenced navigation algorithm, TERCOM, is tested with this software testbed.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121922113","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, standard heart rate variability (HRV) indices are also calculated for the whole dataset. Then, the performance of these indices in classifying these two groups is evaluated using k-Nearest Neighbor classifier and genetic algorithm. As a result, the subset of the HRV indices that increase the performance of the classifier is obtained.
