For those which effectively deal with moving objects, the main issue becomes the comparison of trajectories, also referred to as time-series. Moreover, complex applications may require an object to be a multidimensional vector of heterogeneous parameters. In that paper, we propose a similarity measure for heterogeneous multivariate time-series using a non-metric distance based on the Longest Common Subsequence (LCSS). The proposed definition allows for imprecise matches, outliers, stretching and global translating of the sequences in time. We demonstrate the relevance of our approach in the context of identifying similar behaviors of a person at home.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128385626","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 reason of our research is based on the paradox that being non-effective in theory SS-based practical watermarking systems outperform known-host-state methods when a commonly accepted benchmarking strategy (Stirmark benchmark) is used. We show that the gap in capacity of SS-based techniques with respect to quantization-based techniques at high WNR regime could be significantly reduced, if the embedding scenario is designed using a proper stochastic model of the host image at the encoder. We show how the practical solution of watermark power allocation problem relates to the optimal one. In particular, we model the host image as an Autoregressive Process of the first order (AR(1)) and show the results of power allocation based on the water-pouring principle. It is pointed out that water-mark spectrum in a real system that is properly shaped using Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) well-approximates the water-pouring solution. Finally, we perform several tests to analyze the modified SS capacity facing AWGN attack. Experimental results show that host interference in this case is significantly weakened, which leads to a noticeable capacity improvement.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130319814","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}

Low power implementation of audio codec is important in order to achieve long battery life of portable audio devices. Through the computational cost analysis of the whole decoding process, it is found that Ogg Vorbis requires higher operation frequency of an embedded processor than MPEG Audio. In order to reduce the CPU load, an accelerator is designed as specific hardware for IMDCT, which is detected as the most computation-intensive functional block. Real-time decoding of Ogg Vorbis is achieved with the accelerator and an embedded processor both run at 36MHz. The operation frequency is at the same level as that of MPEG Audio decoding process by an embedded processor.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124176258","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}

These receivers combine a soft decoder for a space-time code with a spatial-interference canceler. The performance of these receivers is analyzed by using EXIT charts, a convenient graphical description that yields quite accurate results. By properly combining the EXIT characteristics of the canceler and of the decoder, the convergence behavior of the iterative algorithms can be understood, and design guidelines derived. The idea here is to observe that both the interference canceler and the decoder can be studied by examining the evolution of the extrinsic information passed along to the connected blocks.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121347669","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}

Despite the considerable efforts, in many cases, the dimensionality of the data and the complexity of the matching problem made it difficult to devise fully operational authentication systems. This is probably also the reason of the greatest diffusion of other biometric modalities such as fingerprint and iris scanning. As in other applications, the adoption of non-standard image sampling geometries may both reduce the dimensionality of the data and the complexity of the recognition problem. In this paper we will try to demonstrate that this is true also in the case of face image analysis where non-standard imaging geometries can be successfully applied.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116356210","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}
