In this paper, we introduce an improved version of the recent noise reducer named zero phase method which can reduce white and impulse noises simultaneously without a priori information. The key idea of the proposed method is to apply the zero phase method iteratively, whose theoretical justification is also provided in this paper. We also confirm the noise reduction performance of the proposed method by comparing with popular noise reducers, such as the spectral subtraction, the Wiener filter, and the MMSE-STSA in oracle settings.

The paper first recalls the Blahut Arimoto algorithm for computing the capacity of arbitrary discrete memoryless channels, as an example of an iterative algorithm working with probability density estimates. Then, a geometrical interpretation of this algorithm based on projections onto linear and exponential families of probabilities is provided. Finally, this understanding allows also to propose to write the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm, as a true proximal point algorithm. it is shown that the corresponding version has an improved convergence rate, compared to the initial algorithm, as well as in comparison with other improved versions.

This research examined the feasibility of incorporating an acoustic metric into the optimization of an aircraft trajectory to reduce the noise experienced by an observer. The method investigated a perturbed path of an unmanned aerial system with specified boundary conditions on position and velocity while maintaining a nominal flight speed. An acoustic model based on Gutin's work was developed to estimate propeller noise as a function of flight parameters, propulsion characteristics, and spatial location. A trajectory was then optimized a priori to reduce the noise experienced by an observer. Multiple simulations were performed and results showed that integrating an acoustic metric into the path planning process could be used to reduce the noise impact on an observer with no perturbation to the nominal flight speed.

In this paper, we propose a novel interference alignment (IA) scheme via convex optimization based on minimum mean square error criterion subject to individual transmit power constraints for the MIMO interference channel system. We show that transceiver under such criterion can be realized through an efficient iterative algorithm. The convergence of the proposed algorithm is discussed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing IA schemes with fast convergence.

With the growing demands for increased bandwidth in arbitrary waveform generator, the Frequency-Interleaved Digital to Analog Converter (FI-DAC) technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the output bandwidth of individual DAC chips. Based on a dual-DAC chip and band interleaving techniques, the research addresses the issue of aliasing errors resulting from the non-ideal performance of practical analog circuits. By modeling the aliasing errors in the system and the non-ideal characteristics of the hardware, the article aims to minimize aliasing errors while achieving maximum bandwidth output, in compliance with the sampling theorem. The process includes filter selection, determination of sub-band division points for two signal paths, and the system's maximum output bandwidth. Finally, the local oscillator frequency for the mixer is determined. In a simulated environment accounting for actual hardware error components, this study employs a 7th-order elliptic filter with 50 dB aliasing suppression. With two DAC chips operating at a 5 GSa/s sampling rate, the system achieves 3.992 GHz signal output. Under the constraint of employing two 5 GSa/s DACs, this method results in a 59.68% increase in output bandwidth compared to a single DAC output.

White balance is a very important part of the color image processing pipeline. In order to meet the need of efficiency and accuracy in embedded machine vision processing system, an efficient and robust white balance algorithm combining several classical ones is proposed. The proposed algorithm mainly has three parts. Firstly, in order to guarantee higher efficiency, an initial parameter calculated from the statistics of R, G and B components from raw data is used to initialize the following iterative method. After that, the bilinear interpolation algorithm is utilized to implement demosaicing procedure. Finally, an adaptive step adjustable scheme is introduced to ensure the controllability and robustness of the algorithm. In order to verify the proposed algorithm's performance on embedded vision system, a smart camera based on IMX6 DualLite, IMX291 and XC6130 is designed. Extensive experiments on a large amount of images under different color temperatures and exposure conditions illustrate that the proposed white balance algorithm avoids color deviation problem effectively, achieves a good balance between efficiency and quality, and is suitable for embedded machine vision processing system.

An iterative algorithm has been presented that sends the information of a real and non-negative image to its Fourier phase. The result is a complex image with uniform amplitude in the Fourier domain. Thus in the frequency domain all the information is in the phase and the amplitude is a constant for all frequencies. In the space domain the image, although complex, has the desired property of having an absolute value the same as the original real image. Matched filtering is a common procedure for image recognition with the conjugate of the Fourier transform of the model(desired image) being the frequency response of the filter. It is shown that using these new complex images instead of the ordinary real images makes the output of the filter very peaked in the case of a match and widely spread in the case of a mis-match. Thus the new filter has a highly superior performance over the conventional matched filtering. It is also shown that due to the above properties the new filter performs very well when filter's input is highly corrupted by additive noise.

A common frustration in signal processing and, more generally, information recovery is the presence of irregularities in the data. At best, the standard software or methods will no longer be directly applicable when data are missing, incomplete or irregularly spaced (e.g., as with wavelets). Self-consistency is a very general and powerful statistical principle for dealing with such problems. Conceptually it is extremely appealing, for it is essentially a mathematical formalization of iterating common-sense "trial-and-error" methods until no more improvement is possible. Mathematically it is elegant, with one fixed-point equation to solve and a general projection theorem to establish optimality. Practically it is straightforward to program because it directly uses the regular/complete-data method for iteration. Its major disadvantage is that it can be computationally intensive. However, increasingly efficient (approximate) implementations are being discovered, such as for wavelet de-noising with hard and soft thresholding. This brief overview summarizes the author's keynote presentation on those points, based on joint work with Thomas Lee on wavelet applications and with Zhan Li on the theoretical properties of the self-consistent estimators.

In this paper, we study the design of optimal robust training sequences for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel estimation, based on known second order statistics of both the channel and the colored disturbance, but with an uncertainty in the channel covariance matrix. More specifically, the training sequences are designed by taking the least-favorable channel covariance component into account throughout an iterative algorithm. Numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the performance gained by employing the proposed design procedure and to compare it with other relevant schemes.
