Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers a wealth of information to the biochemist or radiologist. Metabolite concentrations, J-couplings, pH, ion concentrations and gradients, temperature, etc., can all be obtained, in situ, from well-defined volumes in the human body, and in a totally non-invasive way. However, simple methods such as peak area integration or automatic line fitting in the FT MR spectrum are still relied on for routine MRS data analysis. The disadvantages of such methods are tolerated in order to keep processing fast and simple for the spectroscopist. We have developed a graphical user interface, in which advanced time domain signalprocessing methods are combined. We present a complete software package for routine MR data analysis, called MRUI, enabling the use of advanced parameter estimation algorithms with incorporation of prior knowledge via simple menus and spectral displays, in a fashion similar to the spectroscopist's spectrometer software.

Semantic access to the content of a video is highly desirable for multimedia content retrieval. Automatic extraction of semantics requires content analysis algorithms. Our MoCA (Movie Content Analysis) project provides an interactive workbench supporting the researcher in the development of new movie content analysis algorithms. The workbench offers data management facilities for large amounts of video/audio data and derived parameters. It also provides an easy-to-use interface for a free combination of basic operators into more sophisticated operators. We can combine results from video track and audio track analysis. The MoCA Workbench shields the researcher from technical details and provides advanced visualization capabilities, allowing attention to focus on the development of new algorithms. The paper presents the design and implementation of the MoCA Workbench and reports practical experience.

This paper is concerned with the problem of determining performance of a wavelet-based hybrid neurosystem trained to provide efficient feature extraction and signal classification. The hybrid network consists of a parallel array of neurosystems. Each neurosystem is constructed with three single neural networks; two of which are feature extraction networks, and the other is a classification network, are provided with magnitude and location information of the wavelet transform coefficients, respectively, and are trained with self-organizing rules. Their outputs are then presented to the classification network for pattern recognition. Based on the topological maps provided by the feature extraction neural networks, the back-propagation algorithm is used to train the third network for pattern recognition. The combination of wavelet, wavelet transform, and hybrid neural network architecture and advanced training algorithms in the design makes the system unique and provides high classification accuracy. In this paper, system performance is shown to be intrinsically related to basis kernel function used in feature extraction. A method for selecting the optimal basis function and a performance analysis using simulated data under various noise condition are presented and compared against other pattern recognition techniques.

Due to their local connectivity and wide functional capabilities, Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNN) are excellent candidates for the implementation of image processingalgorithms using VLSI analog parallel arrays. However, the design of general purpose, programmable CNN chips with dimensions required for practical applications raises many challenging problems to analog designers. This is basically due to the fact that large silicon area means large development cost, large spatial deviations of design parameters and low production yield. CNN designers must face different issues to keep reasonable enough accuracy level and production yield together with reasonably low development cost in their design of large CNN chips. This paper outlines some of these major issues and their solutions.

In support of the Defense advanced Research Projects Agency advancedsignalprocessing program a challenge had been issued to the radar and signalprocessing community. Several simulated data sets that emulate a flying phased array surveillance radar were created and placed on the World Wide Web as a challenge to resolve all target information. All data sets for the challenge were created with the Rome Laboratory Space Time Adaptive processing Algorithm Development Tool. This paper describes to date the properties of the data sets, the generation of the data sets, and some preliminary analysis using standard baseline space time adaptive processingalgorithms.

In a target-rich battlefield environment, a shipboard or an airborne radar must maintain situational awareness while tracking and identifying targets. Often the opportunity to dwell on each target long enough for confident identification via high resolution SAR/ISAR imaging will not exist, especially for those engagement geometries where the relative translational motion of the aircraft does not result in large rotation rates. Inadvertent aircraft tactical dither often generates enough target rotation during a brief imaging interval to allow the formation of an ISAR image with low crossrange resolution. We have developed an automated identification procedure that utilizes this resolution, along with high range resolution, to produce confident target identification. The advancedsignalprocessingalgorithms employed extract feature measurements from the complex ISAR image, including accurate measurements of the two-dimensional positions, amplitudes and range extents of the dominant target scatterers. A deformable template matching procedure is used to correlate these ''measured features'' with those predicted for each candidate aircraft in a database generated from readily available diagrams, photographs and CAD models. After obtaining the optimal fit between the measured and predicted features for each candidate aircraft, the ''most likely'' candidate is selected using a conventional Bayes classifier.

The denial of effective communications by enemy forces during hostile military operations has been a primary concern for military commanders since the inception of radio communications on the battlefield before World War II. Since then, the electromagnetic environment has been in a constant state of evolution toward more sophisticated jam-resistant and convert forms of modulation. The thrust of this paper focuses on developments in the theory and algorithms for detection, characterization, and exploitation of advanced waveforms using new mathematical signalprocessing tools introduced within the past decade. Specifically, quadratic time-frequency signal representations, wavelet transforms, and cyclostationary signalprocessing are introduced. This overview demonstrates the importance of these advanced techniques in a clear and concise manner. Applications and future research activities are described in this significant area that is gaining much attention in a variety of technical fields.

The Mountaintop Program is an ARPA/NAVY sponsored initiative started in 1990 to study advancedprocessing techniques and technologies required to support the mission requirements of next generation airborne early warning (AEW) platforms. Central to the effort is a surveillance radar measurements program executed from various mountaintop locations including field sites at the White Sands Missile Range (WMSR), New Mexico and the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Hawaii. The program is collecting data to support the evaluation of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms and the characterization and modeling of monostatic and bistatic scattering. Some of the data collected is hosted in CREST, the Common Research Environment for STAP, at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC) and is accessible to the digital signalprocessing community via the World Wide Web. A subset of that data has been provided for inclusion in the IEEE signalprocessing Information Base at Rice University. This paper includes a discussion of program objectives and test segments and a description of the program's assets, field sites, and data product. A companion off-line demonstration of AEW signalprocessing concepts, using Mountaintop data available at the MHPCC, is planned.
