To circumvent this matrix inversion, we propose an elemental AMP-based algorithm by introducing additional auxiliary variables. This enables the processing of measurements element-by-element, thereby efficiently transforming any matrix operations into vector multiplications. Moreover, the proposed elemental AMP-based algorithm allows for adopting much more flexible approximation strategies (e.g., diagonal approximation) rather than resorting to the essential and overly simplistic coarse averaging operation as in VAMP.

The design problem is formulated as an optimal minimax problem to minimize the error between the desired response and the actual response. To demonstrate the theoretical advantage of the proposed IIR-based beamformer over conventional FIR designs, we introduce a novel performance limit analysis framework in which the filter length is treated as an arbitrary design parameter. This performance limit can be efficiently computed by solving a sequence of functional optimization subproblems. A key theoretical contribution of this work is the proof that both FIR and IIR beamformers converge to the same performance bound. However, the proposed IIR structure achieves this bound with significantly fewer filter coefficients. This finding provides valuable guidance for selecting appropriate filter lengths in practical applications. Furthermore, we propose a novel reduced structure in which all array elements share a common feedback section, offering additional simplification without sacrificing performance. The proposed method is evaluated by means of a room simulation model for various reverberation times. Numerical experiments have shown that the optimal value of the IIR design method can approach the limit faster than FIR-based beamformers, and all reduced structures achieved significant reduction in terms of filter lengths comparing with FIR beamformers in the performance limit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51011,"journal":{"name":"Digital Signal Processing","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105409"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144490160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome these challenges, this study introduces Adaptive Efficient and Dynamic-YOLO11 (AED-YOLO11), a novel detection framework built upon the YOLO11 architecture with specialized enhancements for small object recognition. Specifically, the model introduces the following innovations: First, the Adaptive Frequency Domain Aggregation (AFDA) module dynamically aggregates features using frequency-domain information and channel-wise weighting, resolving frequency inconsistencies in small object images. Second, the Efficient Attention Compression (EAC) module significantly reduces computational costs by compressing channel dimensions and fusing features, thereby improving feature extraction capabilities. Third, the Dynamic Upsampling (DySample) module enhances spatial transformation capabilities through dynamic sampling of input feature maps. Finally, the Wise-IoU(WIoU) loss function is applied to improve detection performance on low-quality samples.

First, the decomposition network decouples the input image into reflectance and illumination components while preserving structural features. Then, a diffusion model is introduced to progressively denoise the reflectance component, with a customized denoising loss designed to enhance detail restoration. Finally, DT-Retinex adopts an encoder-decoder architecture for illumination enhancement: the encoder extracts multi-level features and leverages the LIT module to model global illumination, while the decoder incorporates CBAM attention to emphasize key regions and adaptively adjust lighting information during spatial reconstruction. Experimental results show that DT-Retinex outperforms existing methods on several benchmark datasets, achieving excellent performance on PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS, as well as better perceptual naturalness and consistency under no-reference metrics such as NIQE and BRISQUE.

In this study, we introduce Dual Dynamic Kernel Filtering (2DKF) for time-frequency decomposition, emphasizing how kernel selection influences signal representation, reconstruction accuracy, and overall filtering performance. To overcome the limitations associated with signal-dependent single-kernel methods, we propose an innovative Dual hybrid kernel strategy that adaptively integrates multiple kernel functions to capture a wide array of signal characteristics. This approach significantly improves temporal alignment via Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), robustly preserves signal distributions as evidenced by quantile-quantile (QQ) plot analyses, and maintains high frequency fidelity during the filtering process. Extensive experimental comparisons against traditional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and S-transform filtering, conducted under varying noise conditions, including synthetic noisy ECG with white noise, colored noise (brown and pink), and naturally noisy ECG, demonstrate that our dual hybrid kernel method substantially enhances robustness and consistency in signal reconstruction. Furthermore, we compare our approach with Recursive Multikernel Filtering (RMKF) technique for a benchmark nonlinear signal corrupted by structured noise, alongside wavelet and S-transform techniques. Evaluation metrics, including normalized mean square error (nMSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficients, confirm the superior performance of the proposed approach.
