A two-stage design with a half-band linear-phase prefilter optimal in the Chebyshev sense and a short maximally flat Lagrangian fractional delay filter in the Farrow structure is proposed. It offers an economic implementation with the number of multiplications smaller than for one-stage approach used hitherto, provided that the prefilter is a Nyquist filter. A novel, accurate method of computing the coefficients of Farrow subfilters is introduced based on symbolic designing of k-th degree differentiators. The proposed filter is intended for applications with variable fractional delay value.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"16 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":"129139987","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}

Many methods based on Matched Field Processing (MFP) or on modal decomposition (also called mode filtering) have been developed using a vertical array. The conventional mode filter separates modes using a vertical array of hydrophones. In this case, modes amplitudes are estimated by spatial integration of the pressure field which becomes impossible with a horizontal array. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to estimate the source depth by modal decomposition of the pressure field recorded on a horizontal array of hydrophones. Modes amplitudes are estimated using the frequency-wavenumber transform, which is the 2D Fourier transform in time and radial distance. Then predicted modes amplitudes are compared to measured modes amplitudes, and source depth is estimated. Robustness against noise of the method is studied and application on real data is presented.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"35 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":"130709717","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}

We show how this problem is linked to windowing by discussing zero-patterns for speech signals. Once windowing is performed properly, group delay functions are much less noisy and reveal clearly formant information.","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":"134507875","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}

Usual sound classification may be applied to medical monitoring by use of microphones in patient's habitation. Detection is the first step of our sound analysis system and is necessary to extract the significant sounds before initiating the classification step. This paper proposes a detection method using transient models, based upon dyadic trees of wavelet coefficients to insure short detection delay. The classification stage uses a Gaussian Mixture Model classifier with classical acoustical parameters like MFCC. Detection and classification stages are evaluated in experimental recorded noise condition which is nonstationary and more aggressive than simulated white noise and fits with our application. Wavelet filtering methods are proposed to enhance performances in low signal to noise ratios.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"57 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":"123895444","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}

Assuming a high signal-to-noise ratio, closed form expressions for the bias and the variance of the damping factor are derived. The analytical results are confirmed using Monte Carlo simulations. The analysis indicates that the Matrix Pencil method exhibits a lower variance but has a greater bias than the Kumaresan-Tufts approach.","PeriodicalId":347658,"journal":{"name":"2004 12th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"28 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":"128732802","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}
