Using warping relations, we generalize the P/sub 0/WS and the wideband spreading function (WSF) to analyze systems producing dispersive time shifts. We provide properties and special cases (e.g. power and exponential) to demonstrate the importance of our generalization. The new generalized WSF provides a new interpretation of a system output as a weighted superposition of dispersive time-shifted versions of the signal.

We extend the proposed methods of Hwang to an isotropic 2-D noisy fBm image. The extension is not straightforward; although one can obtain the fractal parameter of an isotropic fBm by averaging of the estimated fractal parameters from several directions by means of the 1-D fractal parameter estimation algorithm, this approach does not perform well in practice. It was shown by Hwang that it requires more than 1000 sampled points for a robust 1-D fractal parameter estimation. For a median size image (say with size 256 by 256 or smaller), there is not enough pixels at each direction for a robust 1-D fractal parameter estimation. Thus, alternative methods must be developed in order that the robustness fractal estimation from a noisy fBm image with small size can be achieved. In this paper, we show that the wavelet transform of an isotropic fBm image at each scale is a two-dimensional weakly stationary process at both the horizontal and vertical directions. Thus, robust fractal parameter estimation can be obtained from two-dimensional wavelet coefficients, even for a small noisy fBm image. We propose a fractal parameter estimation algorithm which formulates the robust fractal parameter estimation problem as the characterization of a composite singularity from the autocorrelation of wavelet transforms of a noisy fBm image.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

This criterion is used to segment the noisy signal and to choose the most parsimonious KL representation possible for each segment. The entropy of the KL coefficients for different window lengths determines the appropriate number and the lengths of the windows. To find the KL coefficients in each segment, a time-varying autocorrelation matrix is estimated using the evolutionary periodogram. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors needed in the expansion are computed from this matrix. The local eigenvectors are the basis for each segment. An estimate of the evolutionary spectrum of the signal is obtained from the KL expansion. Choosing the KL coefficients corresponding to the most significant eigenvalues and time-windowing are shown to constitute masking in the time-frequency plane. This masking permits the denoising of non-stationary signals corrupted by white noise.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.
