The new scheme combines an inner accumulated linear constellation coded space-time block code (LCC-STBC) with an outer convolutional code (CC) that provides additional coding and diversity gain. The iterative decoder performance of proposed system is optimized via extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) diagrams, and the bit error rate (BER) performance improvement provided by the proposed system with iterative decoding is confirmed by computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"41 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":"132608357","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}

First, the location of plus maze platform is automatically determined by using hough transform. Rats in the platform are detected by applying otsu based automatic thresholding. Otsu-based automatic thresholding is applied to discriminate the pixels as foreground and bacground pixels. The foreground pixels are then grouped by using a bounded box. From now on, for every new frame , active subject has been followed in platform that is seperated regions and elapsed times in regions are recorded.

Since the bandwidth of UWB signals is in the level of giga Hertz, the number of the resolvable paths in the channel is large. Consequently, in the receiver, a Rake receiver in conjunction with a maximum ratio combiner is used. By using the derived probability of error expression, the numerical values of the performances are calculated for the first derivative of Gaussian, the second derivative of Gaussian, Rayleigh and Daubechies-5 (db-5) pulse signals. Results show that the db-5 pulse based UWB system gives the best performance.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"1142 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133321813","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 shown that support vector machine classification of denoised hyperspectral images gives significantly better classification accuracy and furthermore improves sparsity. Therefore this approach has faster testing time, compared with direct SVM based classification. This feature makes the denoised SVM based hyperspectral classification approach more suitable for applications that require low-complexity, and possibly real-time classification.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"45 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":"124435080","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}
