As in the case of orthogonal space-time block codes, all transmitted symbols are separately decoded both in the relays and the destination. So, decoding complexity grows linearly. Many of the proposed solutions in the literature are distributed space-time codes which are designed limited number of relays. The proposed scheme has better signal-to-noise ratio improvement with respect to relay selection scheme for N relays present in the wireless system. Moreover, it requires minimal amount of delay. Lastly, the new method satisfies power consumption fairness among relay terminals and requires no knowledge of topology information.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"79 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":"126322918","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}

It was seen that the first and second order statistics of the features extracted, in this research, is not as discriminative as the third and forth order statistics of the features. For the purpose of designing a classifier, which could be used for real time applications in future studies, randomly taken 3 second-long segments are used for classification. Out of 225 songs from 3 genres, ISO of them are used for training and 45 of them are used for testing. Five different lists that are created using different train and test sets are used to reduce the dependency of the results to the test set while increasing the number of validation data. Average values of validation test results are compared with the results of the similar works, which are based on MIDI format, using the same data set.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"32 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":"127675490","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}

Common vector approach (CVA) is employed to evaluate the effect of the proposed method in the isolated word recognition. Since the CVA method is sensitive to shifts through the time axis, endpoint detection of words is extremely important. For the comparison purpose, one of the well-known endpoint detection methods is also used together with CVA. The recognition rates obtained by using COG and CVA methods for Tl-digit database are greater than those obtained by using other endpoint detection and CVA methods.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"27 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":"126733307","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}

It is observed that the motion vectors of most of the dynamic textures (e.g. sea waves, swaying tree leaves and branches in the wind, etc.) exhibit random motion. On the other hand, regular motion of ordinary video objects has well-defined directions. In this paper, motion vectors of moving objects are estimated and tracked based on a minimum distance based metric. The direction of the motion vectors are then quantized to define two three-state Markov models corresponding to dynamic textures and ordinary moving objects with consistent directions. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are used to classify the moving objects in the final step of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"54 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":"114177821","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 distance vectors are differences between the bounding box and silhouette, and extracted using four projections to silhouette. First, gait cycle estimation is performed based on normalized correlation on the distance vectors. Gait patterns are then extracted by using distance vectors for each projection independently. Then gait patterns are normalized according to dimensions of bounding box and gait cycle. Second, PCA based eigenspace transform is applied to gait patterns and Euclidean distances based supervised pattern classification is finally performed in the lower-dimensional eigenspace for human identification. Experimental results on four databases (CMU MoBo, SOTON, USF, NLPR) show that the proposed approach achieves highly competitive performance with respect to the published gait recognition approaches.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"1 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":"127883137","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}
