The multi-user interference (MUI) can be successfully eliminated with the perfect knowledge of channel state information (CSI). However, the perfect information may not be available at transmitter, which will lead to severe interference and consequently degrade the system performance. Robust precoding design with the assist of block diagonalization (BD) scheme is proposed to minimize the mean square error (MMSE), which not only completely suppresses the MUI but also maximizes the sum rate of the MU VLC system. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":346811,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"305 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116796658","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 employs a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) analysis-modify-synthesis loop and is typically used for time-scaling of signals by means of using different time steps for STFT analysis and synthesis. The main challenge of PV used for that purpose is the correction of the STFT phase. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for phase correction based on phase gradient estimation and its integration. The method does not require explicit peak picking and tracking nor does it require detection of transients and their separate treatment. Yet, the method does not suffer from the typical phase vocoder artifacts even for extreme time stretching factors.","PeriodicalId":346811,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125803048","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}

A number of solutions have been proposed for indoor localisation but most rely on specialised hardware or on the presence of a strong (access point) infrastructure. Many places do not have such infrastructure, thus limiting the use of these indoor localisation technologies. We propose a smartphone-based solution using FM and Wi-Fi signals that uses commercial off-the-shelf hardware which can be connected as and when required and thus addresses some of the potential privacy concerns. We show through our experiments that the proposed system can be used even in areas with low FM and Wi-Fi signal coverage. Our system achieves a mean localisation error of 2.84 m with a 90th percentile error of 4.03 m. In addition, we show the robustness of our system in a realistic and challenging environment by using a 4 month old training database.","PeriodicalId":346811,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125885276","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}

While traditional methods for protection and network managements rely upon processing of these signals at low speed, high-frequency processing of the raw current and voltage signals can unveil information about the type of electrical load in the networks. In particular, the common case of three-phase induction machines is considered in this paper. Motor parameters are instrumental information for control, monitoring and diagnostic. A classical approach is to measure motor parameters using off-line dedicated measurements. In this paper, we propose a method for motor parameters estimation from electrical measurements during motor start-up. Given samples of current and voltage signals during motor start-up, the model parameters are identified using classical non-linear system identification tools. While the classical theory is developed using current sensors, in this paper the method is extended to a common type of industrial current sensors, i.e., Rogowski coil sensors, and signal processing methods are presented to overcome the non-ideality caused by this type of sensors. Numerical tests performed on real data show that effective motor parameters identification can be achieved from the raw current and voltage measurements.","PeriodicalId":346811,"journal":{"name":"2017 25th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129400295","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}

To this end, we first propose to adapt a pre-trained CNN on our task, by totally discarding the fully-connected layers and attaching an additional convolutional one, transforming it to a fast fully-convolutional network that is able to produce crowd heatmaps. Second, we propose a two-loss-training model, which aims to enhance the separability of the crowd and non-crowd classes.
