We illustrate the presented principle on the problem of estimating sinusoidal components corrupted by white noise.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78338591","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}

With a novel cross-scale high-frequency components (HFC) self-learning strategy, the missed HFC of a high-resolution (HR) image are approximated from its low-resolution counterparts. A high-quality estimation of the HR image is thus obtained by compensating the HFC to its initial guess.

On the one hand, data independent methods require information about the position of sensors, so they are not suitable for dynamic geometries. On the other hand, Wiener-based methods cannot assure a distortionless output. This paper proposes minimum variance distortionless response filtering based on multichannel pseudo-coherence for speech enhancement with ad hoc microphone arrays. This method requires neither position information nor control of the trade-off used in the distortion weighted methods. Furthermore, certain performance criteria are derived in terms of the pseudo-coherence vector, and the method is compared with the multichannel Wiener filter. Evaluation shows the suitability of the proposed method in terms of noise reduction with minimum distortion in ad hoc scenarios.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81468499","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, we introduce a class of sparsity-inducing penalties and provide the convergence guarantees of a non-convex approach for sparse recovery using regularized least squares. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that under some certain conditions, if the non-convexity of the penalty is below a threshold (which is in inverse proportion to the distance between the initialization and the sparse signal), the sparse signal can be stably recovered. Numerical simulations are implemented to verify the theoretical results in this paper and to compare the performance of this approach with other references.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73486620","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}

First, we formulate the problem within a novel CRF framework that simultaneously performs the AV association of voices and face clusters to build AV person models, and the joint segmentation of the audio and visual streams using a set of AV cues and their association strength. Secondly, we use for this AV association strength a score that does not only rely on lips activity, but also on contextual visual information (face size, position, number of detected faces,...) that leads to more reliable association measures. Experiments on 6 hours of broadcast data show that our framework is able to improve the AV-person diarization especially for speaker segments erroneously labeled in the mono-modal case.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87983603","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}

The spectrum, excitation, vibrato, and duration of singing voices in this approach are simultaneously modeled with context-dependent HMMs and waveforms are generated from the HMMs themselves. HMM-based singing voice synthesis systems are heavily based on the training data in performance because these systems are “corpus-based.” Therefore, HMMs corresponding to contextual factors that hardly ever appear in the training data cannot be well-trained. Pitch should especially be correctly covered since generated F0 trajectories have a great impact on the subjective quality of synthesized singing voices. We applied the method of “speaker adaptive training” (SAT) to “pitch adaptive training,” which is discussed in this paper. This technique made it possible to normalize pitch based on musical notes in the training process. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed technique could alleviate the data sparseness problem.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86653818","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}

Most of the existing literature on the reduced feedback user scheduling focused on the throughput performance and the queueing delay was usually ignored. As the delay is important for real-time applications, it is desirable to have a low feedback queue-aware user scheduling algorithm for MU-MIMO systems. This paper proposes a two timescale queue-aware user scheduling algorithm, which consists of a queue-aware mobile-driven feedback filtering stage and a SINR-based user scheduling stage. The feedback policy is obtained by solving a queue-weighted optimization problem. In addition, we evaluate the associated queueing delay performance by using the large deviation analysis. The large deviation decay rate for the proposed algorithm is shown to be much larger than the CSI-only scheduling algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the large performance gain of the proposed algorithm over the CSI-only algorithm, while the proposed one requires only a small amount of feedback.","PeriodicalId":6443,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84232648","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}
