The method consists of two stages. In the first stage, a template is constructed using the averaged ERP. From this template the design matrix of the linear model is extracted. The second stage is related to the estimation of the coefficients of the linear model. In this stage the bayesian approach is used. However, in our problem the posterior distribution is not easily evaluated and there is need to resort in approximation techniques. One such approach is the Variational Bayesian Methodology. In our study, two prior distributions are used to estimate the ERP. This results in two estimation algorithms having different properties for the coefficients of the linear model. The proposed method is tested in simulated and real ERP data.","PeriodicalId":409669,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"43 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132429760","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 this paper, we propose to convert high frequency signal to low frequency clock using 1/n series flip flop divider for down conversion mixed filtering in lock-in amplifier.

A new algorithm based on an adaptive AnalyticalMultiModulus Algorithm (MMA) is proposed and called adaptive-AMMA. An analytical method, which converges quickly, is necessary with time varying channels. Performances obtained with adaptive-AMMA are better than adaptive-ACMA (Analytical Constant Modulus Algorithm) and simple MMA for time-varying channels. In addition, this proposed method has done jointly source separation and carrier phase recovery contrary to the adaptive-ACMA. After separation by BSS, the Alamouti code synchronization is found again and then an exploitation of the Alamouti diversity is proposed to raise sources order indetermination inherent with BSS.","PeriodicalId":409669,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134209255","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 proposed approach focuses on social aspects of gaming and the use of humans in a widely distributed fashion through a process of human-based computation. It aims at motivating people towards image tagging while entertaining themselves.

A constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector is then used to obtain detected hydrocarbon under a constant false alarm rate. The algorithm has been tested using an AVIRIS hyperspectral data. A comparison study is also carried out between ABW algorithm and the Mixture Tuned Matched Filtering (MTMF) algorithm in a small sub-scene of the AVIRIS data based on the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves from the 10 regions of interest. The presented algorithm has a higher probability of hydrocarbon detection and lower false alarm than that of MTMF results.","PeriodicalId":409669,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"544 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133696774","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}

Firstly, based on the pixel difference analysis, the spatial redundancy is further exploited and three subsampling patterns are selected adaptively for the IME process. Secondly, in order to achieve data reuse and power reduction in memory part, the reference pixels in search window are reorganization into two memory groups, which output pixel data interactively for adaptive subsampling. Moreover, a compressor tree based circuit level optimization is included in our design to reduce hardware cost. Synthesized with TSMC 0.18um technology, averagely 10k gates hardware can be reduced for the whole IME engine based on our optimization. With 481k gates at 110.5MHz, one 720-p, 30-fps HDTV integer motion estimation engine is designed.

If the circuit behavior is quasiperiodic, as in the case of several electronic equipment (e.g. communications, medicine or audio-video technology), the required computational effort may become unacceptable. This is caused by the extremely small time steps (imposed by the fastest component of the signals) relative to the total simulation time (related to the slowest component). A new and valuable alternative is based on the Multitime Partial Differential Equation approach which preserves the analysis accuracy with a reasonably computational effort. Although the concept was described in the literature, only few applications have been practically treated. This paper overcomes this reality and presents a general algorithm for time-domain modeling of lumped linear or nonlinear circuits in quasiperiodic behavior, based on the MPDE approach. A complete example is given, using our new dedicated program, accompanied by a common SPICE simulation, for comparison.","PeriodicalId":409669,"journal":{"name":"2009 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130273334","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}
