Most of the proposed strategies reduce the algorithm complexity by limiting the number of locations searched or by pixel and motion-field sub-sampling. This is done at the expense of the accuracy of the estimation and without a substantial reduction of the computational cost. A new algorithm based on the features representation of the luminance and chrominance pixels values using integral projection is proposed. The used search strategy has the same performance of the classical exhaustive search with a computation reduction of a factor of 30. In the presented implementation a six-step fast search procedure select a small set of blocks on which exhaustive search is applied to compute the final motion vector. The presented algorithm takes advantage of a statistical partitioning of the search set, in order to progressively reduce the number of matching. A direct comparison in terms of the performance/complexity is reported with respect to other proposed solutions.","PeriodicalId":71361,"journal":{"name":"信息通信技术","volume":"67 1","pages":"297-300 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86484550","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}

Recent advances in array processing have been focused on developing high resolution algorithms for estimating signal parameters. The problem of optimal design of the array geometry has been neglected and therefore addressed in this paper. An optimal array geometry will correspond to one with the lowest Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and which gives rise to minimal ambiguities at low SNR. An approach using genetic algorithms (GA) to minimise the CRB, subjected to the ambiguity constraint is proposed and implemented. By utilizing the parallel search capability of the GA, this approach constitutes an efficient design tool for the design of an array of any size and configuration. An alternative using simulated annealing is also proposed. Both approaches are shown to produce optimum array geometries that are superior to the conventional circular array in terms of accuracy and identifiability.","PeriodicalId":71361,"journal":{"name":"信息通信技术","volume":"221 1","pages":"1613-1617 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89135321","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}

Visual programming (VP) and AA are traditionally separate factions in software visualization (SV). With the atomic reaction model (ARM) project we have bridged these two major branches in SV. Due to the advancements in graphics technology, many developers have come up with graphical applications that claim to be VLs. We see in this diversity of VP systems two main categories of VLs. They are the application specific and the general programming (GP). GPVLs are be developed with the eventual aim of substituting textual programming. Currently, there are two main approaches: graphical rewrite systems and dataflow VLs. AA systems have up to this point of time used the approach pioneered by the BALSA AA system to animate algorithms. Opsis, a Java applet for teaching binary tree algorithms, has shown that the visual approach to AA is more effective as a learning tool. Therefore in this project, we create a VP system that can animate most of the algorithms traditionally done by textual coding. The ARM offered an alternative to the textual codes used in BALSA systems. We have also proven that a VL is capable of solving complex problems without sacrificing its visual clarity and showed that graphical rewrite systems are not necessarily simplistic and without much flow control as compared to dataflow VLs. We have even laid down the frameworks of a heterogeneous VL. Our research has successfully opened the door to true GPVLs.","PeriodicalId":71361,"journal":{"name":"信息通信技术","volume":"106 1","pages":"939-943 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79714989","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}

An expression of the threshold value h is derived in terms of the standard deviation a of the log-normal shadowing affecting the received signals and the ratio /spl eta/ between the a priori probability of handover and probability of no handover. The performance of the handover decision algorithm is evaluated in terms of the probability of false alarm, or probability of unnecessary handover, and probability of detection, or probability of successful handover.","PeriodicalId":71361,"journal":{"name":"信息通信技术","volume":"50 1","pages":"1771-1775 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83251063","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 database consists of 360 phone calls made by 20 different male speakers from different Italian regions. The false identification probability for the two algorithms has been evaluated for different training sets, different spoken words and a variable number of states of the CD-HMM classifier.
