Spatial approaches to solve this problem need corresponding sets of primitives-points, lines, conies, etc. Identification of corresponding primitives in two images is non-trivial, limiting the applicability of such approaches. In this paper, we present a novel Fourier domain based approach that makes use of image intensities for computing the image-to-image transformation. Our approach transforms the images to the Fourier domain and then represents them in a coordinate system in which the affine transformation is reduced to an anisotropic scaling. The anisotropic scale factors can be computed using cross correlation methods, and working backwards from this, we compute the entire transformation. It does not require any correspondences thereby making it practically very useful. Applications to registration and recognition are discussed.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

Diversity techniques applied in OFDM systems help to reduce nonlinear effects produced by the power amplifier. In this paper, low peak to average power ratio (PAPR) techniques clustered OFDM (COFDM) and antenna interleaving OFDM (AIOFDM) applied in a wireless LAN systems are evaluated under nonlinear power amplifier. This paper shows that the bit error rate (BER) obtained using antenna interleaving OFDM is lower compared to the BER obtained applying clustered OFDM and conventional OFDM in fading channels subject to amplifier nonlinearities. The implementation of these low PAPR techniques can help to reduce the power amplifier linearity restrictions increasing the power efficiency. Power amplifier efficiency is crucial in mobile systems since it has a dominant effect on the battery charge life.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

On the other hand, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique transforms a frequency-selective fading channel into parallel correlated fading channels. Hence, in the presence of frequency selectivity, it is natural to combine STC with the OFDM systems. The channel state information is an essential requirement in the case of ST OFDM systems. In this paper, a unique channel estimation technique for MIMO OFDM systems exploiting the cyclic prefix of OFDM symbols has been proposed. The performance of the ST coded OFDM systems have been evaluated for realistic channel conditions.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

The adaptation of the slope parameter increases the degrees of freedom in the weight space of the conventional feedforward neural network (CFNN) configuration.

We combine a nonlinear preprocessing with Wiener filtering. In the proposed method, the data received is first quantized by a symmetric 3-level quantizer before processing by the Wiener filter. A complete theoretical analysis of this quantizer-estimator is worked out under low signal to noise ratio conditions. In this framework, we show that if the noise is sufficiently non-Gaussian and the quantizer thresholds are optimally chosen, the quantization, although limited to 3-levels, leads to an enhancement of the estimation performed by the Wiener filter. Numerical results comparing the quantizer-estimator with the Wiener filter applied alone are presented to confirm the theory. Non-Gaussian noise distributions specifically relevant for an underwater acoustic environment are chosen for illustration.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

The bound on symbol error probability due to HMSPD criterion is shown to be tighter than the one due to the popular minimum product distance (MPD) criterion. HMSPD criterion is applied to obtain the optimum pre-rotating matrices for a BPSK transmission over a fast fading channel. The optimum 2/spl times/2 pre-rotating matrix is derived analytically and a new ad-hoc method is proposed to do numerical optimization for rotation matrices of higher dimensions. The BER performance of the codes designed using them is compared with that of the one designed based on the MPD criterion. The HMSPD criterion gives a slightly better performance.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

This is changed to joint level inputs and given to the actuators/drives. Once the probe starts moving the image acquisition is done continuously using NI-IMAQ 1407. The acquired image is processed real time using an accurate object-tracking algorithm, which has low computational cost and gives better performance.

The basic idea is to transform speech of a speaker in a way that renders it recognizable by a speaker dependent classifier built for another speaker. The compensating filter is learnt as a cepstral vector using labeled speech samples of the speaker. Using some ideas about combining multiple pattern classifiers, we present a new speaker independent speech recognition system that uses a few speaker dependent classifiers along with a bank of cepstral compensating vectors learnt for a large number of other speakers. Each of the speaker dependent classifiers is trained on the given speech samples of only one speaker and is never retrained or adapted thereafter. We present some results to illustrate the effectiveness of this speaker specific compensation idea.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

This is very complex to achieve in MANETs (mobile ad-hoc networks) due to its inherent characteristics such as dynamic topology, node mobility, scarce resources, etc. In this paper we propose a scheme to perform on-demand QoS routing in MANETs by using agents. The scheme uses two types of agents: static agents and mobile agents. The static agents collect the resource information of the neighboring nodes. The mobile agents roam in the network hosted by a source to find the QoS path (bandwidth and delay constrained) by interacting with static agents. The scheme is simulated in various network scenarios to test its operation effectiveness. The proposed method offers adaptability, flexibility and supports component based software engineering concepts such as maintainability, customization, software reuse, etc.","PeriodicalId":424981,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications, 2004.

Also there is an aperiodic data loss in the inner gimbal pitch and yaw rate measurement channels due to eclipsing.
