In this paper we present an iterative dictionary learning algorithm based on the singular value decomposition that efficiently construct unions of orthonormal bases. The important innovation described in this paper, that affects positively the running time of the learning procedures, is the way in which the sparse representations are computed - data are reconstructed in a single orthonormal base, avoiding slow sparse approximation algorithms - how the bases in the union are used and updated individually and how the union itself is expanded by looking at the worst reconstructed data items. The numerical experiments show conclusively the speedup induced by our method when compared to previous works, for the same target representation error.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116487208","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 evaluate the models based on synthetic EEG data, because this allows an objective assessment by comparing the estimated projections to the parameters of the sources. We simulate EEG data using the EEG forward solution and focus on dynamic sources that change their spatial projection over time. Recently, this type of signal has been identified as the dominant type of signal, e. g. in measurements of visual evoked potentials. Further, we develop a method to objectively evaluate the decomposition models. We show that the decomposition models reconstruct the scalp projections successfully from data with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). They perform best if the number of calculated components (model order) equals the number of sources.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124496911","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}

By utilizing the ground obstacle assumption for a typical road scene, only a small fraction of disparity space is required to be visited in order to find a disparity map. It works by using the neighbourhood disparities of the pixels in the lower image line as supporting points to determine the search range of its upper vicinity line. Unlike the conventional seed growing based algorithms that are only capable of producing a semi-dense disparity map, the proposed algorithm utilises information provided by each pixel rather than trusting only the featured seeds. Hence, it is capable of providing a denser disparity output with low errors in homogeneous areas. The experimental results are also compared to a normal exhaustive search (block matching) algorithm, showing a factor of ten improvement in speed, whilst the accuracy is enhanced by 20% without constraint to the maximum possible disparity.","PeriodicalId":400766,"journal":{"name":"21st European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2013)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124113740","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}
