This paper presents a new technique that combines fractal and wavelet analyses to model rough (nonsmooth) but crisp (one-pixel wide) object boundaries that have fractal or multifractal characteristics. The boundary is represented compactly by two sets of descriptors and control points. The first set contains information about complexities present on the boundary and is calculated using a fractal dimension analysis. The second set contains information about the shape of the boundary and is calculated by using wavelet analysis. We apply the midpoint displacement algorithm on the two sets of control points in order to reconstruct boundaries with the required fractal or multifractal dimension. The quality of reconstruction is measured using the Renyi fractal dimension singularity measure. Experimental results produced compression ratios in the range of 300:1 to 450:1, while preserving the complexities of the original boundary, as measured by the above multifractal metrics.
In this paper, we characterize the degrees of freedom (DoF) for K-user M × 1 multiple-input single-output interference channels with reconfigurable antennas, which have N-preset modes at the receivers, assuming l...

This paper presents an electrocardiogram (ECG) frame (beat) compression scheme using block encoding and windowed-variance techniques, where the ECG frame has already been classified. compression of the complicated ECG frame is converted into a linear time registration problem of segments in this scheme. The segment in the frame is detected and partitioned by the windowed-variance technique. It is computationally inexpensive. A high compression ratio of nearly 50:1 is achieved and not related to the reconstruction error. The normalized percent root-mean-square difference is about 2.53% for a 10-minute ECG recording.

This paper presents a method of generating unique fingerprints of radio transmitter turn-on transients. The fingerprinting system consists of the application of multiresolution wavelet analysis used to characterize the features contained in the transient followed by the use of a genetic algorithm to extract the wavelet coefficients that represent critical features of the transient. To measure the ability of the system to generate efficient and unique fingerprints, a neural network is used to classify the transients by their fingerprints. To test the noise sensitivity of the system, noisy transients were applied to a trained neural network, the network was able to positively classify noisy transients with 20 dB signal to noise ratios (SNR) and up. Experiments with real radio transients show that the system is able generate uniqiue fingerprints for absolute classification by a neural network for radios of differing model type as well as radios of the same model type.

This paper presents a method of modelling of power transients and their classification. A discrete wavelet transform and multifractal analysis based on a variance fractal dimension trajectory technique are used as tools to analyze the transients for feature extraction. A probabilistic neural network is used as a classifier for classification of transients associated with power system faults and switching. Experiments show that the classification system can achieve classification rate of 99% for power transients, and is robust in noisy environments.

The last few decades of physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, engineering, and social sciences have been marked by major developments of views on cognitive systems, dynamical systems, complex systems, complexity, self-organization, and emergent phenomena that originate from the interactions among the constituent components (agents) and with the environment, without any central authority. How can measures of complexity capture the intuitive sense of pattern, order, structure, regularity, evolution of features, memory, and correlation? This paper describes several key ideas, including dynamical systems, complex systems, complexity, and quantification of complexity. As there is no single definition of a complex system, its complexity and complexity measures too have many definitions. This papers also addresses some practical aspects of acquiring the observables.
The use of image quality measures in the design of processing algorithms and equipment is a difficult task. Realistic and useful images are complex and far from the threshold conditions under which psychophysical meas...

This work considers the design of a multi-stage vector quantizer (MSVQ) for application to the motion compensated prediction error of video signals. It is well known that the design of predictive vector quantizers suffers from fundamental difficulties due to the prediction loop, which have an impact on the convergence and the stability of the design procedure. We propose an approach to predictive MSVQ design that enjoys the stability of open-loop design while ensuring ultimate optimization of the closed-loop system. The proposed design method is tested on video compression at low bit rates, where it significantly outperforms widely-used closed-loop design techniques, and achieves improvement over the H.263 standard.

The impact of outliers on the signal separation performance of an independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm is an important characteristic in assessing the algorithm's utility in real-world applications. If an ICA estimator has the property of B-robustness, the influence of an extreme point is bounded, leading to good separation performance in the presence of outliers. In recent work, major ICA estimators, such as FastICA, have been proven not to be B-robust. We seek to enhance the non-B-robust FastICA estimator by the introduction of K-means clustering for outlier mitigation. We compare our algorithm with the B-robust /spl beta/-divergence algorithm by conducting a simulation to reproduce published results. The paper demonstrates the utility of the K-means clustering algorithm to mitigate a class of outliers such that our ICA separation performance is at least equal to that of published results for the B-robust /spl beta/-divergence estimator.
