Based on this insight, this paper proposes a novel JND estimation model employing content-adaptive energy allocation. Primarily, the information theory is applied to the visual perception system by conceptualizing human visual system (HVS) as an information communication framework. Then, leveraging the relationship between energy consumption and information perception, this paper quantitatively measures the HVS energy consumption as uniform metric to describe the complicated and heterogeneous HVS perception process, and then construct JND model by fusing low-level and Semantic-level features.

This paper presents an advanced generalized sidelobe canceller (AGSC) based adaptive MIMO radar array beamformer with robustness against the effect due to scenario mismatches. A new signal blocking matrix is developed for effectively blocking the desired signal when the adaptive beamforming is performed under multiple scenario mismatches. The novelty of the new signal blocking matrix is that it contains two additional matrix components in addition to the conventional blocking matrix. The first one is a matrix made up of the basis orthogonal to some appropriately designed derivative constraint vector. It avoids the possible leakage of the desired signal due to scenario mismatches. The other one is a matrix made up of the dominant eigenvectors associated with the correlation matrix of the blocked data vector at the output of the first matrix component. It is employed to preserve all of the interference signals. As a result, the whole blocking operation can delete the desired signal and save the interference signals under multiple scenario mismatches. Hence, the AGSC based adaptive MIMO radar beamformer effectively deals with the performance degradation caused by scenario mismatches without resorting to any robust optimization algorithms. Performance analysis and complexity evaluation regarding the AGSC based adaptive MIMO radar beamformer are presented. Simulation results are also provided for confirmation and comparison.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49523,"journal":{"name":"Signal Processing","volume":"227 ","pages":"Article 109739"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The linear canonical transform (LCT) can simultaneously rotate and scale the time–frequency distribution, which enlarges the distance between different signal components with proper parameters. In this study, a convolution-type short-time LCT is proposed to present the time–frequency distribution of a signal, from which the signal reconstruction formula is given. Its resolutions in time and LCT domains are demonstrated, which helps to select suitable window functions. A fast implementation algorithm for the short-time LCT is provided. Further, the synchrosqueezing LCT (SLCT) transform is designed by performing synchrosqueezing technique on the short-time LCT. The SLCT inherits many properties of the LCT, and the signal reconstruction formula is obtained from the SLCT.

The distortion-tolerance vector is used to rank the blocks in the local region and the blocks being independent of the adjacent regions will have higher chance to be embedded with secret bits. Then, the coefficients are modified in a pairwise manner. Since only one coefficient in a pair is used for embedding, the other one can be modified symmetrically for compensation.

Generally, the time information of non-cooperative moving targets entering and leaving a radar coverage area is unknown, which would lead to severe performance loss for target parameter estimation, detection, and imaging. Unlike our previous research work, this paper addresses the motion parameters estimation and refocusing problem for a radar maneuvering target with unknown entry and departure time. A computationally efficient method that utilizes extended Kalman filtering (EKF) for phase tracking is proposed to estimate the entry and departure times. The proposed method first performs range cell migration correction (RCMC) on the pulse compression echo signal. Then, the maneuvering target signal is modeled as a polynomial phase signal (PPS) and utilizes the EKF to construct a binary state-space equation for polynomial phase tracking. Finally, by comparing the phase tracking results of the noise cell and the signal cell, one can derive estimates for the entry/departure time and motion parameters. Compared with existing methods, the proposed method avoids multi-dimension searching on the parameter space, so it has a prominent advantage in computational complexity. Moreover, the core of the proposed method lies in tracking the polynomial phase, which is not constrained by the order of target motion, and has wider applicability in practice.

Among them, spectral clustering-based methods become more and more popular due to it can make full use of information from different views. However, most existing multi-view spectral clustering methods typically adopt a two-step scheme, which firstly obtains the spectral embedding matrix through graph fusion or multi-feature fusion, and then uses the k-means algorithm to cluster the spectral embedding matrix to obtain the final clustering result. This two-step scheme inevitably leads to information loss, resulting in a suboptimal solution. Furthermore, the methods of graph fusion and multi-feature fusion have not taken into account the inconsistency of features between different views and the unordered nature of clustering labels, which also decreases the clustering performance. To solve these problems, we propose a novel one-step multi-view spectral clustering based on multi-feature similarity fusion. This model simultaneously conducts graph learning, multi-feature similarity fusion and discretization in a unified framework, which can mutually negotiate and optimize each other to achieve better results. Furthermore, compared to directly fusing affinity matrices or spectral embedding matrixs from different views, we take advantage of the property of the spectral embedding matrix, fuse the similarity of samples in feature space, better handle the differences between different views.
