However, several experimental works indicate that such signals can be better described as having the more general Voigt lineshape, formed as the combination of the two. Due to the inherent complexity of this model, there exist few techniques to form estimates of the parameters of the Voigt model, with a numerical search of the multidimensional nonlinear least squares (LS) cost function being the typical solution. In this paper, we propose a parametric relax-based estimator that estimates the lineshape parameters recursively, one spectral line at a time. Numerical simulations using both simulated and real measurement data illustrate the performance gain of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"11 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":"115797673","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}

To provide this detection with sufficiently security for the licensed primary user (PU) and without a loss of CR capacity, spectrum sensing is a fundamental requirement in CR. Also, if this spectrum sensing is addressed for wideband, a current idea is to distribute it among all CRs in the network by dividing the wideband sensing into several sub-bands sensing. However, this physical spectrum division can be too wide to detect narrow band PU. In this paper, we propose to analyse digitally these sub-bands by using a numerical fast Fourier transform (FFT). This analysis is then made, in each sub-sub-bands, by a double threshold energy detection method. For a targeted probability of PU detection, simulation results show the possibilities of the proposed system when a multi-optimization problem is addressed.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"20 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":"115064445","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, an optimization- and Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT)-based approach has been investigated and tested to estimate the latencies of single-trial visual evoked potentials (VEPs) which are highly corrupted by colored electroencephalogram (EEG) noise. The normal voltage level for a VEP is around 10 μV and the background EEG is in the proximity of 100 μV, producing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the range of -10 dB. The studied method devices an explicit pre-whitening scheme aimed at producing a symmetric basis matrix, which eventually generates a unitary eigenvector matrix that simultaneously diagonalizes both the wanted signal and noise correlation matrices. The absolute diagonalization ensures full decorrelation of the observed signal, and permits the segregation of the transformed signal space into the \"signal plus noise subspace\" and \"noise only subspace.\" The performance of the KLT-based method in estimating VEP latencies has been assessed using comprehensively and realistically simulated data at SNR ranging from 0 to -10 dB, and real patient data gathered in a hospital. The technique produces reasonably high success rates, high accuracies and precisions, and narrow standard deviations in both experiments.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"146 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":"115128524","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}

When only a single source is present, the computationally efficient beamformer for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is sufficient. When multiple sources are present, subspace-based DOA estimation is required to achieve high-resolution and unbiased estimation. To save computational cost, we propose computationally simple criteria for discriminating between a single-target and multi-target scenario in automotive radar-array processing. The suggested criteria can be applied with a single snapshot, and are therefore suitable for classic pulsed radar pre-processing.

However, in most subsurface imaging problems these assumptions are not always valid. The propagation velocity may only be known approximately, and targets will generally not fall on the grid exactly. In this work, the performance of the CS based subsurface imaging methods are analyzed for the above defined problems and possible solutions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"56 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":"122144459","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}

It demands the design of a suitable proposal probability density function (pdf) from which candidate samples can be drawn. The main limitation to the use of RS is the need to find an adequate upper bound for the ratio of the target pdf over the proposal pdf from which the samples are generated. There are no general methods to analytically find this bound, except when the target pdf is log-concave. In this paper we introduce a novel procedure using the ratio of uniforms method to efficiently perform rejection sampling for a large class of target densities. The candidate samples are generated using only two independent uniform random variables.

Using such a structured GMM, we design an optimum and bitrate scalable PVQ, namely an split (SVQ), for each Gaussian mixture. The use of an SVQ allows for a trade-off between complexity and R/D performance that spans the two extreme limits provided by an optimum scalar quantizer and an unconstrained vector quantizer. The efficacy of the new GMM based PVQ (GM-PVQ) method is demonstrated for the application of speech spectrum quantization.","PeriodicalId":409817,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"115 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":"124208248","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}

This viewpoint has a useful implication to the speech community, especially from the perspective of fitting a glottal pulse to the inverse filtered signal, as the real pole describes the return phase of the glottal flow for certain voice types that adhere to a reasonable criterion.
