The proposed method uses prior probability distribution of the targets to improve performance. Compared to the state-of-the-art techniques, it is quantitatively demonstrated that the proposed measurement matrix design approach enables significant reduction in the number of analog channels to be processed and adapts to a priori information on the target scene.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"58 1","pages":"1881-1885"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73102113","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 first step is to use CNN architecture to compute the feature vector of a given image. The second step is to apply Manifold Learning algorithms on the features computed in the first step to making a refined feature vector. Eventually, this final representation is used to train SVM classifier. In the first step, we adopted VGG-19 network trained from scratch in order to extract texture features. In the next step, we used the DIMAL (Deep Isometric Manifold Learning Using Sparse Geodesic Sampling) configuration to train a neural network to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space in a nonlinear manner for generating the refined feature vector of the input image. Our concept is that the combination of a deep-learning framework with manifold learning techniques has the potential to select discriminative texture features from a high dimensional space. Based on this idea, we adopted this combination to perform nonlinear feature extraction in texture images. The resulting learned features were then used to train SVM classifier. The experiments demonstrated that our approach achieved better accuracy in texture classification than existing models if trained from scratch.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"102 1","pages":"1552-1555"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75749530","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 focus is on piece-wise smooth signals, defined as signals that comprise a number of blocks that each fulfills the considered smoothness property. A computationally efficient sparse coding algorithm is derived by limiting the number of times that a new support set of dictionary atoms is computed, exploiting the smoothness of the signal. Furthermore, a new, total-variation regularized problem is proposed for computing the required sparse coding coefficients, exploiting further the smoothness priors of the signals. The considered problem is solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers. Finally, numerical results considering hyperspectral images are provided, that demonstrate the applicability and complexity -denoising performance benefits of the novel algorithms.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"35 1","pages":"2040-2044"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79779125","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}

Experiments have been performed taking an in-car listening environment as the use case, characterized by multiple loudspeakers, thus, multiple impulse responses (IR).

The multi-channel stethoscope comprises four piezo contact microphones arranged in rectangular and linear arrays. Beamforming and channel equalisation techniques are applied to the multi-channel recordings made in the aortic, pulmonary, tricuspid, and mitral valve areas. The proposed channel equaliser cancels out the distorting effect of the chest and rib cage on the heart sound frequency spectrum. It is shown that the applied beamforming methods effectively suppress the interfering lung noise and improve the signal to interference and noise ratio by 16 dB. The results confirm the superior performance of the implemented multi-channel stethoscope compared with commercially available single-channel electronic stethoscopes.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"4 1","pages":"1289-1293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85755734","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 the speech source separation technique, estimation of a covariance matrix is a highly important part. Recent studies showed that it is effective to estimate the covariance matrix by multiplying cross-correlation of microphone input signal with a time-frequency mask (TFM) inferred by the DNN. However, this assumption is not valid actually and overlapping of multiple speech sources lead to degradation of estimation accuracy of the multi-channel covariance matrix. Instead, we propose a multichannel covariance matrix estimation technique which estimates the covariance matrix by a TFM for the separated speech signal by the unsupervised spatial filtering. Pre-filtered signal can reduce overlapping of multiple speech sources and increase estimation accuracy of the covariance matrix. Experimental results show that the proposed estimation technique of the multichannel covariance matrix is effective.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"169 1","pages":"266-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78576008","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}

Their estimation with antenna arrays is well known. More recently, multi-mode antennas (MMAs), building on the theory of characteristic modes, have been investigated for DoA estimation. This paper introduces joint DoA and DoD estimation with a single MMA on transmitter and receiver side. In general, the polarization of a signal transmitted by an MMA varies with the direction, which makes an appropriate signal model necessary. For best performance, optimized transmit beamforming should be performed. We derive the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for DoA and DoD estimation with MMAs, propose an optimized beamformer (OBF), which minimizes the CRB, and evaluate its performance.","PeriodicalId":6705,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"72 1","pages":"1841-1845"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85846808","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}
