The main idea is to transform the signal-dependent into independent additive Gaussian noise using a nonlinear transformation prior to filtering. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128399131","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 brain displaces in three directions, mediolateral, anteroposterior and cephalocaudal. We propose in this work to measure 2D displacement vector (mediolateral and anteroposterior componenst) of an imaged area of the brain through the right temporal window. A 2D speckle tracking based on the phase zero-crossing detection of correlation was applied to RadioFrequency signals to estimate the displacement vector. However, unlike the axial direction, the fundamental limitation for lateral tracking motion is the lack of RadioFrequency phase information. The synthetic lateral phase (SLP) technique was then used to create synthetic phase in this direction. Zero-crossing detection was then applied to the 2D complex phase of the synthetic RF signal. The advantage of SLP technique is that there is no need to modify the emission/reception ultrasound process to create synthetic phase in the lateral direction","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"74 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133587110","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}

Some recent techniques that transform the stereo correspondence problem to a minimization of a global energy function are based on graph cuts. These techniques based on graph cuts consider all possible disparities between minimum and maximum values for each pixel. The originality of this work is to construct a reduced graph where only some potential values in the disparity range are selected for each pixel. These values can be found using a local analysis method for stereo matching. This method allows us to reduce the size of the graph, thus reducing computation time and improving the quality of disparity map, and at the same time to make wider the disparity range.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130201112","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 paper presents our hands-on experience based on our first phase work to build up a smart home infrastructure for the elderly. We review location tracking technology and describe the rationale behind our choice among the emerging wireless sensors technologies. Node localization is required to report the origin of events, to assist group querying of sensors, to facilitate routing and to answer questions on the network coverage. Furthermore, one of the fundamental challenges in a wireless sensor network is mobile node localization. In this work, we locate in real-time a person in an indoor environment rich in multipaths by taking into account the effects of the environment. Future research directions and challenges for improving node localization in wireless sensor networks are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":343415,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications, WOSSPA","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116305910","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}

With no model mismatch, the KF residual's whiteness is exploited to derive a composite hypothesis testing that accounts for a low probability of false alarm and a high probability of correct decision for various reference inputs.
