The classification is usually performed using a single distance measure in the final multidimensional space. In this work we use a support vector machine (SVM) architecture with one against all.

Evaluation results are shown on a publicly available 21-class LULC dataset. With experiments, it is shown that VLAD outperforms classical BoW representation albeit with some increases in the computation time.

In cooperative communication systems which use hierarchical modulation, error propagation is the most important problem that prevents achieving full diversity gain. Thresholds that depend on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value between the source and the relay can be used to mitigate error propagation. If the instantaneous SNR between the source and the relay is lower than the first threshold, the relay does not transmit. If the SNR is between the first and the second thresholds, the relay demodulates and forwards only the primary bits. If the SNR is higher than the second threshold, the relay demodulates and forwards both the primary and the secondary bits. Mitigating error propagation and achieving full diversity for both primary (high priority) and secondary (low priority) bits depend on setting the thresholds at the relay properly. In this work, the first and the second threshold values are determined so that full diversity gains are attained for both primary and secondary bits. Analytical and simulation results are provided to verify the analysis.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117005525","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}

Mutual coupling coefficients are also estimated with the estimated arrival angles. By using these coupling coefficient estimates, two dimensional refined search of direction of arrival angles(DOA) is done. Several Monte Carlo experiments are performed and it is observed that the refined angle estimates are more accurate compared to the initial estimates which do not use the coupling coefficient numerical values. By applying the algorithm proposed in [1], the computational load of two dimensional spectrum search is reduced and the negative effect of mutual coupling between the sensors is eliminated.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129510872","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 EMD represents the signal as a combination of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). It is an important problem to determine which IMFs belong to signal and noise in multi-component or noisy signals. Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is a successful method to characterize non-stationary signals. In our approach, a threshold is determined from the DFA, and used to select the noise IMFs. Performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by means of computer simulations using noisy EEG signals.","PeriodicalId":384835,"journal":{"name":"2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614803","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}

In many practical systems, the observation signal has a sparse representation in a continuous parameter space. This situation rises the possibility of use of the CS reconstruction techniques in the practical problems. In order to utilize CS techniques, the continuous parameter space have to be discretized. This discritization brings the well-known off-grid problem. To prevent the off-grid problem, this study offers a recursive approach which discritizes the parameter space in an adaptive manner.
