We operate under the assumption of incomplete information about the target impulse response (TIR), which is confined within a predefined uncertainty set. To ensure robustness against this uncertainty, we frame the problem as a max–min (worst-case) optimization. Additionally, we impose a constant modulus constraint (because it has the lowest possible peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)) on the transmit waveform to guarantee our system operates close to saturation. To solve this, both approaches use a sequential optimization procedure, alternating between the transmit waveform and receive filter subproblems. The first approach employs the ADMM, decomposing each subproblem into a semi-definite programming (SDP) problem and a least squares problem with a fixed rank constraint, solvable via SVD. The second approach tackles the problem over two Riemannian manifolds: the sphere manifold for the receive filter and the product of complex circles for the transmit signal. By applying manifold optimization, the constrained problem is transformed into an unconstrained one within a restricted search space. The max–min problem is reformulated as a minimization problem, yielding a closed-form expression involving log-sum-exp. This is solved using the Riemannian conjugate gradient descent (RCG) algorithm, which builds on Euclidean conjugate gradient descent and utilizes the manifold’s properties, such as the Riemannian metric and retraction. Our numerical results demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of these methods across various uncertainty sets and target types.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49523,"journal":{"name":"Signal Processing","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 109952"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474152","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}

Although many excellent line segment detection methods have been proposed, detecting more true positives while rejecting false positives remains challenging. The human visual system can effectively perceive line segments in complex environments through a processing pathway involving multiple visual cortices. Inspired by this, we propose a novel bio-inspired line segment detection method that mimics the perception of line segments in the visual cortex. Our method models orientation-selective neurons in the primary and secondary visual cortices. Based on the preferred orientations of these neurons, we integrate them to mimic the function of orientation and curvature domains in the fourth visual cortex, generating continuous and smooth edge segments. A post-processing step, including least squares line fitting and gap merging, is employed to obtain line segments. We evaluated our method against other state-of-the-art methods on YorkUrban-LineSegment and Wireframe. Results show that our method achieves a higher F-score, improving by 2.9% and 2.1%, respectively, while ensuring both precision and recall.

However, existing plug-and-play image restoration methods are designed for non-blind Gaussian denoising such as Zhang et al. (2022), the performance of which visibly deteriorates for unknown noise. To push the limits of plug-and-play image restoration, we propose a novel image restoration framework with a blind Gaussian prior, which can deal with more complicated image restoration problems in the real world. More specifically, we build up a curvature regularization image restoration model by regarding the noise level as a variable, where the regularization term is realized by a two-stage blind Gaussian denoiser consisting of a noise estimation subnetwork and a denoising subnetwork. We also introduce curvature regularization into the encoder–decoder architecture and the supervised attention module to achieve a highly flexible and effective network. Numerous experimental results are provided to demonstrate the advantages of our deep curvature denoiser and the resulting plug-and-play blind image restoration method over the state-of-the-art denoising methods. Our model is shown to be able to recover fine image details and tiny structures even when the noise level is unknown for different image restoration tasks.

Subsequently, a quantum confusion technique is proposed, combining quantum block Arnold scrambling, cyclic shifts, and subsequence exchanges, which enhances the complexity of the relationship between the keys and the ciphertext in parallel. Additionally, a quantum diffusion technique is designed, efficiently generating hash values via a two-dimensional quantum walks system to verify image integrity. These hash values are used as content-based key inputs in a chaotic system to generate quantum secure matrices for diffusing the image information. Finally, a quantum bidirectional conversion operation is designed to achieve lossless reversible conversion between color and grayscale images.

In order to address this, we consider a linear unbiased estimator based on Gaussian distributed data, and characterise the variance of this estimate, as well as the variance of the error between the estimate and the ground truth. These quantities in turn enable to find expressions for the bin-wise perturbation of the eigenvalues, which depends on the error variance of the estimate, and for the bin-wise perturbation of the eigenspaces, which depends on both the error variance but also on the eigenvalue distance. We adapt a number of known bounds for ordinary matrices and demonstrate the fit of these bounds in simulations.

The joint time-vertex Fourier transform (JFT) framework offers spectral analysis capabilities to analyze these joint time-vertex signals. Analogous to the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) extending the ordinary Fourier transform (FT), we introduce the joint time-vertex fractional Fourier transform (JFRT) as a generalization of JFT. The JFRT enables fractional analysis for joint time-vertex processing by extending Fourier analysis to fractional orders in both temporal and vertex domains. We theoretically demonstrate that JFRT generalizes JFT and maintains properties such as index additivity, reversibility, reduction to identity, and unitarity for specific graph topologies. Additionally, we derive Tikhonov regularization-based denoising in the JFRT domain, ensuring robust and well-behaved solutions.
