In this paper we consider the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of Gaussian signals in non- Gaussian noise of unknown spatial correlations. The proposed method involves two primary steps. Firstly, the third-order cumulant function of the random wavefield received by an array of sensors is estimated and then projected onto the correlation domain to exploit the correlations of noise across the sensors in an array. Secondly, the estimated noise correlation matrix is then utilized in a correlation-based eigenstructure method, such as MUSIC, for DOA estimation. As expected, the proposed method improves the performance of MUSIC which requires the knowledge of noise correlation. Numerical simulation results for both the MUSIC and proposed algorithms are presented and compared.

Following a brief discussion of the potential relevance of chaotic noise models, we consider the problem of separating a signal from an additive mixture with nonlinear noise. The approach we take exploits various properties of linear filters: their linearity is, of course, important when dealing with additive mixtures of signals, but we also need to understand their effect on nonlinear processes. We describe how FIR and IIR filters differ radically in this respect, and discuss the ways in which each can be used in conjunction with various nonlinear transformations for signal separation.
Perceptual grouping is a key step in vision to organize image data into structural hypotheses to be used for high level analysis. In this paper, we propose data allocation and load balancing strategies which reduce th...

An algorithm is proposed to compute samples of any bilinear joint time-frequency representation of the Cohen's class. The computation is performed on a decimated sampling grid, mapping N = 3BD signal samples into N = K × L critical samples of the joint representation in the time-frequency domain. This is in contrast with the usual approaches that perform the computation on a much denser grid, mapping N signal samples into N × N samples in the time-frequency plane. The algorithm is based on the discrete Zak transform and represents an extension of the work by Auslander et al. on fast computation of the ambiguity function. For a number of popular representations, the algorithm is shown to have computational complexity about the same as an ordinary FFT.

In this paper we consider cyclostationary signalprocessing techniques implemented via acousto-optics (AO). Cyclic processing methods are reviewed and motivated, including the cyclic correlation and the cyclic spectrum. We show how a 1D AO spectrum analyzer can be used to detect the presence, and estimate the value, of cycle frequencies. The cyclic correlation can then be computed at cycle frequencies of interest using a 1D time-integrating correlator. Next we consider the problem of computing the (2D) cyclic correlation for all cycle frequencies and lags simultaneously. This is accomplished via an AO triple-product processor, configured in a manner similar to that used for ambiguity function generation. The cyclic spectrum can be obtained in a post-processing step by Fourier transforming the cyclic correlation in one dimension. We then consider higher order extensions of the cyclic correlation and show how a 2D slice of the 3D cyclic triple-correlation can be computed using an AO four-product processor.

Existing approaches to blind channel estimation and deconvolution (equalization) focus exclusively on channel or inverse-channel impulse response estimation. It is well-known that the quality of the deconvolved output depends crucially upon the noise statistics also. Typically it is assumed that the noise is white and the signal-to-noise ratio is known. In this paper we remove these restrictions. Both the channel impulse response and the noise model are estimated from the higher-order (fourth, e.g.) cumulant function and the (second-order) correlation function of the received data via a least-squares cumulant/correlation matching criterion. It is assumed that the noise higher-order cumulant function vanishes (e.g., Gaussian noise, as is the case for digital communications). Consistency of the proposed approach is established under certain mild sufficient conditions. The approach is illustrated via simulation examples involving blind equalization of digital communications signals.

This paper describes a scheduling method for hard real-time Digital signalprocessing (DSP) applications, implemented on a multi-processor. Due to the very high operating frequencies of DSP applications (typically hundreds of kHz) runtime overhead should be kept as small as possible. Because static scheduling introduces very little run-time overhead it is used as much as possible. Dynamic pre-emption of tasks is allowed if and only if it leads to better performance in spite of the extra run-time overhead. We essentially combine static scheduling with dynamic pre-emption using static priorities. Since we are dealing with hard real-time applications we must be able to guarantee at compile-time that all timing requirements will be satisfied at run-time. We will show that our method performs at least as good as any static scheduling method. It also reduces the total amount of dynamic pre-emptions compared with run time methods like deadline monotonic scheduling.

The research work reported in this paper is concerned with the use of higher order spectral estimation techniques as a means to deriving the parameters of 2D autoregressive (AR) models. Image analysis is examined from a higher order statistical perspective and in the context of noise. The objective is to develop analysis techniques through which robust autoregressive parameter estimation is accomplished. The approach taken involves the use of 2D AR models derive from third order cumulants. The directionality of the cumulant space influences the AR parameter estimation in a decisive manner. The specific application of the developed methods is in mammography, an area in which it is very difficult to discern the appropriate features. The results show significant discriminating gains through such techniques.
In this paper, we present efficient parallel solutions for structural indexing-based object recognition on coarse-grained parallel machines. Based on the analysis using the C3-model, the parallel algorithm proposed in...

Interactions among spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOEs), which are narrow-band signals emitted by the cochlea, include the cubic difference tone (CDT) that occurs at frequency 2f 1 - f2 due to the nonlinear coupling of primary SOEs at f1 and f2. We show that appropriately defined trispectra and tricoherence may be used to detect the CDTs. OAE signals are also characterized by temporal variations in the amplitudes and frequencies;this leads to polynomial phase models, and multiplicative noise processes;we give closed-form expressions for the large sample CRLB for the parameters of the resulting model. We also consider cyclic approaches, and we compare polyperiodogram and periodogram based approaches for the detection of arbitrary frequency coupling laws. Some of the techniques are validated against real data.
