A new approach for the identification of minimum-phase autoregressive moving average (ARMA) systems in the presence of heavy noise is presented in this paper. A damped sinusoidal (DS) model for the autocorrelation function of a noise-free ARMA signal is proposed to estimate the AR parameters, which overcomes the failure of conventional correlation based techniques in estimating the AR parameters of an ARMA system at a very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The MA parameters of the ARMA system are then estimated by using Durbin's method along with an optimum order selection criterion. Both white noise and periodic impulse train excitations are considered for the application of the proposed method to system identification as well as to speech processing. computer simulations are carried out based on both synthetic ARMA systems and natural speech signals, showing superior identification results even at an SNR of -5 dB for which most of the existing methods would fail.

It is known that the stochastic gradient descent (SGD)-based constant modulus algorithm (CMA) has the drawback of slow convergence rate. It is also known that under some weak conditions, all local minima of CMA are identical to that of a CMA which is constrained in signal subspace. Based on this property, we propose a subspace-constrained CMA that is able to increase the convergence rate of the conventional SGD-CMA. To reduce the computational complexity, a technique referred to as projection approximate subspace tracking with deflation (PASTd) is used to calculate the signal subspace. Our simulation shows that the proposed algorithm is significantly superior to the conventional SGD-CMA both in the convergence rate and in the sensitivity to the step size.

The paper presents a new approach for the identification of minimum-phase autoregressive (AR) systems in the presence of heavy noise. A damped cosine model for the ramp cepstrum of the one-sided autocorrelation function of a noise-free AR signal is proposed to estimate the AR parameters. The AR parameters are obtained directly from the estimated damped cosine model parameters. The proposed method overcomes the failure of conventional cepstrum and correlation based techniques in noisy AR system identification at a very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). computer simulations are carried out based on. both synthetic AR systems and natural speech signals, showing superior identification results even at an SNR of -5 dB for which most of the existing methods would fail.

We present an integrated pitch estimation approach for severely colored noise-corrupted speech. An effective colored noise-whitening process is first applied to the noisy speech. Then, a variable-length average magnitude difference function (VLAMDF) of the pre-filtered noisy speech (PFNS) is proposed, which almost conquers the trend of falling valleys in the conventional AMDF. The amplitude characteristic of the VLAMDF is reshaped by means of a simple linear transformation to reduce the possibility of double-pitch-errors. As the VLAMDF exhibits a valley while the autocorrelation function (ACF) of PFNS provides a peak, the ACF is weighted by the reciprocal of the VLAMDF to emphasize the pitch-candidate as well as to suppress the non-pitch peaks. Moreover, a noise-robust pitch detection in the time-domain is guaranteed by collaboration of this enhanced autocorrelation function with the reshaped version of the VLAMDF. The proposed approach is simulated using the Keele reference database and provides a superior accuracy relative to some of the existing methods implemented in the presence of colored noise, even at a very low signal-to noise ratio (SNR) of -15 dB.

In signal field reconstruction applications of sensor network, the locations where the measurements are retrieved from affect the reconstruction performance. In this paper, we consider the design of medium access control (MAC) protocols in sensor networks with mobile access for the desirable information retrieval pattern to minimize the reconstruction distortion. Taking both performance and implementation complexity into consideration, besides the optimal centralized scheduler, we propose three decentralized MAC protocols, namely, decentralized scheduling through carrier sensing, Aloha scheduling, and adaptive Aloha scheduling. Design parameters for the proposed protocols are optimized. Finally, performance comparison among these protocols is provided via simulations.

An efficient VLSI architecture for the computation of the convolution-based discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is presented. The proposed architecture, employing two processing elements and a single buffer in a pipeline mode, enhances the processing time by appropriately decomposing the overall computations and distributing them equally between the two processing elements. The data flow, both within and between the processing elements, is streamlined, making use of the buffer and employing multiple input data paths within the processing elements. The parallelism of operations carried out by the computational blocks in each processing element is made more effective by equalizing the data paths used in these blocks. HSPICE and Verilog simulation results are presented to show that a circuit, whose design is based on the proposed architecture, is, in comparison with other existing architectures, fast and efficient for DWT computation, with a modest decrease in the area.

Various feature selection techniques were studied. The trend toward richer data types is pushing feature selection in both scale and complexity. Natural language text features and image features are becoming commonplace. Several trends will increase the demand for feature selection. Time plays an additional role in some nonstationary domains where the best features have a seasonal dependency.
