In cyclic-prefixed communication systems, if the delay spread of the channel is longer than the cyclic prefix (CP) a channel-shortening equalizer (CSE) can be used to restore the desired operation of such systems. Since in time-varying environment we are interested in fast adaptive equalizer with tracking capability, the aim of this paper is to propose RLS-type algorithm for channel shortening. In this paper, we first propose an RLS-type algorithm to estimate the eigenvector corresponding to the smallest eigenvalue of a matrix and based on this algorithm we develop an RLS-type blind channel shortener. We also, based on PAST algorithm, propose an RLS-type update rule to shorten the channel under MMSE criterion. Simulations show the speed advantage of the proposed algorithms.

Many wearable inertial systems have been used to continuously track human movement in and outside of a laboratory. The number of sensors and the complexity of the algorithms used to measure position and orientation vary according to the clinical application. To calculate changes in orientation, researchers often integrate the angular velocity. However, a relatively small error in measured angular velocity leads to large integration errors. This restricts the time of accurate measurement to a few minutes. We have combined kinematic models designed for control of robotic arms with state space methods to directly and continuously estimate the joint angles from inertial sensors. These algorithms can be applied to any combination of sensors, can easily handle malfunctions or the loss of some sensor inputs, and can be used in either a real-time or an off-line processing mode with higher accuracy.

This paper deals with the problem of Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) for the speech signal corrupted with an additive white Gaussian noise. After explaining the least Mean Square (LMS)-based adaptive filter and Kalman filter, we examine the hybrid Kalman-based LMS (KLMS) technique for adaptation of the ANC. The proposed technique suggests a way to normalize LMS algorithm using Kalman filter. Our simulation shows that the KLMS method converges faster and is more stable compared to the LMS and its Normalized version, NLMS.

Over the past several years, pseudo-invariant sites for trending the radiometric gain of multispectral satellite imaging systems has proven to be very useful and accurate. For example, the lifetime calibration of the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) was recently updated based in large part upon this approach. This effort reduced the error in the gain estimate from roughly 13 percent to less than 5 percent and integrated a variety of absolute calibration estimates for the sensor. Typically, pseudo-invariant sites are located in arid regions where very little temporal and spatial change occurs over long periods of time and significant extent. Sites in the Sahara desert are especially attractive. However, drawbacks of this approach are that the sites are relatively unacceptable and, for some instruments, only limited numbers of data sets are available. As a result, it would be helpful to use sites that are observed often, such as locations in North America, so that the technique could be applied to more sensors both historically and in the future. The drawback to these sites is that they are typically of much smaller extent and, therefore, are more difficult to use from a geometric perspective. Recent work has shown that small pseudo-invariant sites, if carefully chosen, can also be used for accurate trending of satellite instruments. This paper will illustrate an approach that suggests the calibration site commonly known as Sonoran Desert can be used to observe the characteristic calibration curve of Landsat 5 TM. Because of the significant number of observations of this site, and other similar sites in North America, there is good potential to extend this technique to additional multispectral instruments for enhanced long term monitoring of radiometric gain.

Historically, for purposes of calibration, the Landsat 4 Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor has relied upon prelaunch calibration data, internal calibration data and very limited post-launch data. Landsat 4 additionally has used Landsat 5 TM cross-calibration data. The availability of one more independent source, commonly called pseudo-invariant sites, can be used to improve the calibration of the sensor. Pseudo-invariant sites are mainly well characterized desert sites exhibiting the properties of high reflectance, high spatial and spectral uniformity, temporal stability and are nearly Lambertian to decrease BRDF and shadow effects. The successful update of the calibration of the Landsat 5 TM sensor using the pseudo-invariant site approach suggested using this approach to calibrate the Landsat 4 TM sensor. The pseudo-invariant sites selected to characterize the Landsat 4 TM sensor are Middle East sites at Path 166, Row 39 and Path 166, Row 40. Previously, calibration attempts have been primarily based only on the internal calibrator (IC) and prelaunch data. The Landsat 5 internal calibrator was found to be unreliable approximately three years after launch. The Landsat 4 IC data also become questionable especially knowing that the internal calibrators for both the instruments were essentially identical. Thus, it is necessary to characterize the system with another independent and reliable source-in this case pseudo-invariant sites. Unfortunately, due to the unavailability of an adequate number of scenes at the site used for Landsat 5, the Middle East site of Path 166, Row 39 and Path 166, Row 40 were selected. A large drawback of these sites is that they are the locations of the First Gulf War in 1991. This negates the assumption that the surface and atmosphere did not change during the study period. To account for the change, radiometric correction was done using the known Landsat 5 gain signature. A correction factor, which is the ratio of the averages of Landsat 5 pre-g

Pixel Purity Index (PPI) has been widely used for endmember extraction. Recently, an approach using blocks of skewers was proposed by Theiler et al., called blocks of skewers (BOS) method, to improve computation of the PPI. It utilizes a block of skewers to reduce number of calculations of dot products operated by the PPI on each skewers with all data sample vectors. Unfortunately, the BOS method also suffers from the same drawbacks that the PPI does in terms of several parameters which are needed to be determined a priori . Besides, it also has an additional parameter, block size, B needed to be determined where no guideline is provided of how to select this parameter. In this paper, the BOS method is also investigated. Most importantly, a new pyramid-based block design for the BOS method is also introduced as opposed to the cube-based block designed used by Theiler et al.'s BOS. One major advantage of our proposed pyramid-based BOS over Theiler et al.'s cube-design BOS is the hardware design for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) implementation.
