Local Binary Patterns (LBP) have been used in 2-D imageprocessing for applications such as texture segmentation and feature detection. In this paper a new 1-dimensional local binary pattern (LBP) signalprocessing method is presented. Speech systems such as hearing aids require fast and computationally inexpensive signalprocessing. The practical use of LBP based speech processing is demonstrated on two signalprocessing problems: - (i) signal segmentation and (ii) voice activity detection (VAD). Both applications use the underlying features extracted from the 1-D LBP. The proposed VAD algorithm demonstrates the simplicity of 1-D LBP processing with low computational complexity. It is also shown that distinct LBP features are obtained to identify the voiced and the unvoiced components of speech signals.

Synthetic Aperture Radar systems are used to form high resolution images from radar backscattered signals. The Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), which is a generalized form of the well-known Fourier transform, has opened up the possibility of a new range of potentially promising and useful applications that involve the use and detection of chirp signals including pattern recognition and SAR imaging. In this paper the FrFT is applied to the well established Range Doppler Algorithm and to the Chirp Scaling Algorithm to form the FrRDA and eFrCSA (enhanced Fractional CSA). The performance of the algorithms are assessed using simulated and real Radarsat-1 data sets. The results confirm that the FrFT based SAR processing methods provide enhanced resolution yielding superior focusing accuracy and target detection.

Synthetic Aperture Radar systems are normally used to form high resolution images from radar backscatter. The Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), which is a generalized form of the well-known Fourier transform, has opened up the possibility of a new range of potentially promising and useful applications that involve the use and detection of chirp signals including pattern recognition and SAR. In this paper the FrFT is applied to the well established Range Doppler Algorithm in order to obtain a superior result in terms of resolution and noise rejection. The results confirm that the FrFT can be useful to perform high resolution SAR processing and to reduce the speckle noise while enhancing the resolution and focusing accuracy.

With the ready availability of multiple sensors, the area of information fusion has been receiving increasing attention. For multi-sensor image data, algorithms such as simple average method, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method, Gradient Pyramid (GP) method, Laplacian Pyramid (LP), Ratio Pyramid (RP) method and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) methods have been successfully applied for image fusion. Another important issue that arises in image fusion: the performance of image fusion is that the performance of the associated algorithms is difficult to evaluate, especially when a clearly defined ground-truth image is not available. Some common measures to assess the performance for image fusion are Mutual information (MI), Tsallis and Renyi divergence based information. However they are difficult to estimate precisely. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for evaluating the performance of image fusion algorithms based on copula functions. To achieve this, copulas are proposed for the estimation of the MI, Tsallis and Renyi divergence based information and these are used to evaluate the quality of image fusion.

The Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), which is a generalized form of the well-known Fourier transform, has opened up the possibility of a new range of potentially promising and useful applications including radar involving the use and detection of chirp signals, pattern recognition and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imageprocessing. In this paper the Fractional Fourier transform is applied to the Range Doppler Algorithm in order to obtain a better result in terms of resolution. The proposed technique takes advantage from the property of the FrFT to resolve with high precision chirp signals. Preliminary results are encouraging and confirms that the FrFT can be useful to perform high resolution SAR processing.

Extended orthogonal space-time coding can use feedback of channel state information to increase the diversity gain of the transmission. This paper calculates the maximum attainable gain, and shows the effect that quantisation in the feedback channel has on the system performance. We demonstrate that for slow-fading channels, differential coding with a single feedback bit can achieve near-optimum performance and exceed the performance of non-differential feedback with higher word length. We also comment on combining differential encoding with channel estimation. Simulation results compare this approach to state-of-the-art systems with standard quantised and unquantised feedback.

In this paper we consider the design of zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) transceivers for non-regenerative multiple input multiple output (MIMO) relay networks. Our designs utilise linear processors at each stage of the network along with a decision feedback detection device at the receiver. Under the assumption of full channel state information (CSI) across the entire link the processors are jointly optimised to minimise the system arithmetic mean square error (MSE) whilst meeting average power constraints at both the source and the relay terminals. We compare the presented methods to linear designs available in the literature and show the advantages of the proposed transceivers through simulation results.

This paper aims to maximise the rate over a MIMO link using incremental power and bit allocation. Two different schemes, greedy power allocation (GPA) and greedy bit allocation (GBA), are addressed and compared with the standard uniform power allocation (UPA). The design is constrained by the target BER, the total power budget, and fixed discrete modulation orders. We demonstrate through simulations that GPA outperforms GBA in terms of throughput and power conservation, while GBA is advantageous when a lower BER is beneficial. Once the design constraints are satisfied, remaining power is utilised in two possible ways, leading to improved performance of GPA and UPA algorithms. This redistribution is analysed for fairness in BER performance across all active subchannels using a bisection method.

Binaural hearing aids are configured to have a wireless transmission link between the left and the right hearing aid. State-of-the-art hearing aids use two microphones in each instrument for compactness and power consumption constraints. In environments with multiple interferers, directional signalprocessing in hearing aids use techniques such as differential microphone arrays to improve speech intelligibility. However, these hearing aids have maximum sensitivity to target sources located directly in front or directly behind the user. In this paper, a novel binaural system is presented for steering the look direction of the hearing aid to other angles than 0/180 degrees. The new system was tested in a real-time environment to confirm the results.
