One of the key problems in high resolution (quadratic), time-varying spectral analysis is the suppression of interference terms which can obscure the true location of auto components in the resulting time-frequency distribution (TFD). Commonly used reduced interference distributions (RIDs) tackle the problem with a properly chosen two-dimensional low pass filter (kernel). A recently published(8) novel approach uses alternative means to achieve the desired goal. The idea of the new method is to obtain an estimate of the cross terms from a given prior distribution based on the magnitude and location of its negative components. The estimate is constructed via an iterative projection method that guarantees that the resulting distribution is positive and satisfies the marginals. Even though the marginals are usually a desirable property of TFDs in general, they can impose an undesirably strong constraint on positive TFDs in particular (Examples are given in this paper). For these cases it is thus beneficial to relax the marginals-constraint. In this paper we present a new method that does not require the incorporation of this constraint and thus leads to positive TFDs with reduced interference terms but without the restrictions due to the marginals.

In certain applications, the discretization of two-dimensional integral equations can lead to systems involving matrices with block Toeplitz-Toeplitz block structure. Iterative Krylov subspace methods are sometimes employed to find regularized solutions to the related 2D discrete ill-posed problems;however, preconditioners which filter noise are needed to speed convergence to regularized solutions. We describe a preconditioning technique based on the Toeplitz-type structure of the matrix which generalizes the approaches in [1] and [2] to take advantage of symmetry and real arithmetic operations. We use fast sine transforms to transform the original system to a system whose matrix has partially reconstructible Cauchy-like blocks. The preconditioner is a block diagonal, rank m approximation to this matrix, with Cauchy-like blocks each augmented by an identity of appropriate dimension. We note that the initialization cost is in general less than that for the similar 2D preconditioner in [2] which does not take advantage of symmetry. Several examples are given which illustrate the success of our preconditioned methods.

The problem of blind equalization of MIMO (multiple-input nultiple-output) communications channels is considered using the second-order statistics of the data. Such models arise when a single receiver data from multiple sources is fractionally sampled (assuming that there is excess bandwidth), or when an antenna array is used with or without fractional sampling. We focus on direct design of finite-length MMSE (minimum mean-square error) blind equalizers. We allow infinite impulse response (IIR) channels. Our approaches also work when the "subchannel" transfer functions have common zeros so long as the common zeros are minimum-phase zeros. We only require that the there exist a causal, stable left inverse (not necessarily unique) to the MIMO transfer function and that the leading coefficient matrix of the MIMO channel impulse response have its rank equal to the number of sources. The channel length or model orders need not be known. The sources are recovered up to a unitary mixing matrix and are further 'unmixed' using higher-order statistics of the data. An illustrative simulation example is provided.

Digital cameras are becoming more powerful and affordable with each product generation. This paper describes a new generation digital camera that optimizes image quality and ease of use. Excellent image quality is obtained by employing a megapixel CCD sensor and advanced image processingalgorithms. A 1.8& color LCD and a new graphical user interface (GUI) guide the user through the operation of the camera. The camera has a 2X zoom lens, real image optical viewfinder, and a "camera like" industrial design. A host of "traditional" camera features are supported, including self-timer, five flash modes, macro mode, and exposure compensation. These features are augmented by digital camera features including preview (live viewfinder), instant image review, in-camera finished files (Exif/JPEG and FlashPix image formats) and video output. Significant digital signalprocessing power is required to implement the image processingalgorithms and the GUI. A 60 MHz RISC processor with an on-board 16-bit DSP coprocessor provides all of the camera image and display processing functions. The image processing functions include color filter array interpolation, white balance, color and tone correction, edge enhancement, thumbnail image generation, JPEG image compression, and file formatting.

Several technologies have been developed in recent years to advance the state of the art of infrared sensor systems including dual color affordable focal planes, on-focal plane array biologically inspired image and signalprocessing techniques and spectral sensing techniques. Pacific advanced Technology (PAT) and the Air Force Research Lab Munitions Directorate have developed a system which incorporates the best of these capabilities into a single device. The "NeuroSeek" device integrates these technologies into an infrared focal plane array (FPA) which combines multicolor Midwave Infrared/Longwave Infrared (MWIR/LWIR) radiometric response with on-focal plane "smart" neuromorphic analog image processing. The Readout and processing Integrated Circuit (ROPIC) Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chip which was developed under this effort will be hybridized to a dual color detector array to produce the NeuroSeek FPA, which will have the capability to fuse multiple pixel-based sensor inputs directly on the focal plane (pixel based sensor fusion). Great advantages are afforded by application of massively parallel processingalgorithms to image data in the analog domain;the high speed and low power consumption of this device mimic operations performed in the human retinal(1,2).

PPCA is an assembly language-level register allocator and instruction compactor for the advanced DSPs (ADSPs) of the TMS320C80 digital signal processor. It was developed to help the implementation of time-critical ADSP assembly programs which heavily utilize powerful ADSP features optimized for multimedia and image computing applications for maximum efficiency. PPCA takes as an input ADSP assembly operations with symbolic variables. It then allocates the ADSP's physical registers to the symbolic variables and rearranges the operations into a highly-parallelized compact format. In this paper, we have evaluated the performance of a register allocation capability of PPCA using an extensive image computing library for the TMS320C80. We present the basic algorithm of the PPCA's register allocation module and describe the performance evaluation approach used. The result shows that PPCA essentially achieves optimal register allocation for the test cases based on the image computing library functions.

Perimeter security utilising a taut wire fence sensor system has been available for the last 30 years. There are a number of features which make such systems attractive for security applications. These include resistance to environmental affects, low nuisance alarm rate and high probability of detection. A taut wire fence constructed of barbed wire also acts as a deterrent, adding a barrier delay time to the perimeter. This paper describes a novel design for a new taut wire sensor. The mechanical design of the sensor provides a detector with superior sensitivity and robustness. The design allows for direct application of sensor wire strain through the sensor body without having to provide for a direction translation of sensor wire movement to the transducer. The electronic design of the sensor head stage provides advancedsignalprocessing of the disturbance signal. The signalprocessing concept for a complete barrier is based on a distributed micro-controller design. Each sensor processor has an adaptive algorithm which customizes the signalprocessing of each sensor wire. Computer simulation testing using pre-logged environmental data is described.
