The theoretical performance bound is of fundamental importance both for algorithm performance assessment and for prediction of the best achievable performance given sensor locations, sensor number, and accuracy of sensor measurements. First, a general description of the relative grid-locking problem is given. Afterwards, the measurement model is analyzed. In particular, the nonlinearity of the measurement model and all the biases (attitude biases, measurement biases, and position biases) are taken into account. Finally, the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is discussed and two different types of CRLB, the Hybrid CRLB (HCRLB) and the Modified CRLB (MCRLB), are calculated. Theoretical and simulated results are shown.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122711666","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 application is suited to airborne imaging systems (such as on a UAV) where size, weight, and power restrictions limit the amount of onboard processing available. The limited processing will typically exclude the use of traditional, but expensive, optical flow algorithms such as Lucas-Kanade. Alternately, the measurements from an inertial navigation sensor lead to a closed-form solution to the correspondence field. Airborne platforms are also well suited to this application because they already possess inertial navigation sensors and global positioning systems (GPS) as part of their existing avionics package. We derive the closed form solution for the image correspondence vector field based on the inertial navigation sensor data. We then show experimentally that the inertial sensor solution outperforms traditional optical flow methods both in processing speed and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125235304","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}

Using shorter exposure times results in sharper images but with a very high level of noise. By taking a pair of blurred/noisy images it is possible to reconstruct a sharp image without noise. This paper is devoted to the combination of observation models in the blurred/noisy image pair reconstruction problem. By examining the difference between the blurred image and the blurred version of the noisy image a third observation model is obtained. Based on the minimization of a linear convex combination of Kullback-Leibler divergences between posterior distributions, a procedure to combine the three observation models is proposed in the paper. The estimated images are compared with images provided by other reconstruction methods.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"18 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125817646","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}

For the sake of safety and comfort, the frequency of the repetitive visual stimulus (RVS) necessary to elicit an SSVEP, should be higher than 30 Hz. However, in the frequency range above 30 Hz, only a limited number of frequencies can elicit sufficiently strong SSVEPs for BCI purposes. Consequently, the conventional approach, consisting in presenting various repetitive visual stimuli having different frequency each, is not practical for SSVEP based BCI functioning. Indeed this would bring low communication bitrates. In order to increase the number of possible repetitive visual stimuli, we consider modulating the phase of the stimulus instead of the frequency. Thus, several stimuli, sharing the same frequency, but with different phase can be presented to the user. The approach presented in this document, to detect the phase of the stimulus is termed phase synchrony. It consists in using as feature, the phase difference between the SSVEP and the stimulus. The phase is extracted through the Hilbert transform applied on an univariate signal resulting from spatially filtering the electroencephalogram. The spatial filter is determined in such a way that the SSVEP energy is enhanced through a linear combination of the signals recorded at different positions on the scalp. Phase detection accuracy for seven subjects ranges from 70 to 94%.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125118413","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 SIFT algorithm is used to detect and extract the local features in images, BP is used to match the features while RANSAC is adopted to filter out the mismatched points and then estimate the transformation matrix. The proposed method is compared with traditional SIFT to verify its accuracy and stability.

Since in DVC correlation dynamically changes with the scene, in order to get the full benefit from powerful distributed source code (DSC) designs, predicting and tracking correlation is essential. This paper proposes an adaptive scheme based on integrated particle filtering within the LDPC-based DSC that dynamically tracks the changes in image correlation to enhance belief propagation LDPC decoding. The system maintains its low encoder complexity, showing significant performance improvement compared to the case without dynamic particle filtering tracking.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126941116","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 the paper it is shown that it is possible to construct the two following polyphase decompositions of polynomial-based digital filters for implementation; (i) polyphase decomposition based on the prolonged Farrow structure, and (ii) polyphase decomposition based on the transposed Farrow structure. The paper shows that both polyphase structures have the same multiplication rate, while the polyphase decomposition based on the prolonged Farrow structure has a considerable smaller number of multipliers.
