Statistical significance of MI values was tested through surrogate time series generated with the random shuffle approach. Our results suggest that the proposed method for aligning signals representing brain and heart activity measured with different sampling rates, is capable of revealing coupling between RRI representing heart system, and aligned averaged power spectrum of brain processes, measured with EEG, resulting in significant MI.

This method uses the reflector corner as the reference calibration point to accurately calibrate the vertical channel system gain and the imbalance factor of the four polarimetric channels, without the need to make assumptions about the scattering characteristics of the scene. This method is suitable for Ku-band multi-rotor UAVs Miniaturized SAR data. Compared with the Quegan algorithm, it can obtain more accurate amplitude estimation and channel imbalance estimation.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129932196","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}

Then, Paraconsistent Characteristics Analysis, appearing as a technique recently presented in the scientific literature and which had not yet been used for this purpose, serves as a basis for selecting the best filter banks so that they can be later delivered to a Support Vector Machine (SVM), responsible for the final step of signal identification. The accuracy of 100% was achieved in most of the 3600 tests performed, proving the viability of the implemented strategy, which has become minimally complex due to the optimization provided by the paraconsistent methodology.

Then, the reflections are more numerous and much stronger than in typical hydroacoustic applications. The paper presents an attempt to create a model of the swimming pool response, suitable for simulation experiments with detection and localization of emergency signal.

This efficiency also applies to radio resources. To improve it, radio environment maps (REMs) are used. It is common to use the REM in modern ad-hoc mobile networks (MANETs), which are used, e.g., in the military. In this case, the use of new technologies such as software-defined radio and network, cognitive radio, sensing, and building electromagnetic situational awareness made it possible to implement REM in modern MANETs. Propagation attenuation maps are crucial REM elements that allow for determining the ranges of radio network nodes. In this case, considering the topography in propagation maps enables a more realistic analysis. For this aim, in the paper, we propose a novel algorithm of creation propagation attenuation maps based on the parabolic equation method.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123326701","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}
