This paper introduces a new signature coding which is designed based on the well-known Block Truncation Coding (BTC). It comprises of bit-maps of the signature blocks generated by different threshold criteria. Two new BTC-based algorithms are developed for signature coding, to be called Block Truncation Signature Coding (BTSC) and 2-level BTSC (2BTSC). In order to compare the developed BTC based algorithms with current binary signature coding schemes such as Spectral Program Analysis Manager (SPAM) developed by Mazer et al. and Spectral Feature-based Binary Coding (SFBC) by Qian et al, three different thresholding functions, local block mean, local block gradient, local block correlation are derived to improve the BTSC performance where the combined bit-maps generated by these thresholds can provide better spectral signature characterization. Experimental results reveal that the new BTC-based signature coding performs more effectively in characterizing spectral variations than currently available binary signature coding methods.

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.

In this paper, the theoretical limits on the asymptotic performance of joint source-channel coding over MIMO fading channels are investigated. Similar to the concept of diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) in digital MIMO systems, a new measure for the asymptotic high-SNR performance of MIMO source-channel codes is introduced, which is called diversity-fidelity tradeoff, and the optimal tradeoff is characterized. Also, the problem of constructing robust MIMO source-channel codes, which are not sensitive to the knowledge of the SNR, is investigated and a semi-robust scheme is proposed.

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.

Spatial patterns of activation statistics within anatomically-defined regions of interest (ROIs) in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were recently shown to be sensitive markers of brain activation changes. Most current methods that analyze fMRI activation statistics largely ignore this. The accuracy and validity of the prevalent approach of spatial normalization of functional data is also being debated. In this paper we present a novel spherical harmonics based rotational, translation and scale invariant feature representation of fMRI data which allows for direct quantification of activation patterns within ROIs without any need for spatial normalization. We also present a novel parallel technique for quantifying anatomical properties of the ROIs where we employ a principal component based approach to reduce the effects of anatomical variability in the ROI on functional pattern analysis. We validate our proposed method and demonstrate its improved sensitivity over conventional methods using real and simulated fMRI data.

Soft iterative detection and decoding techniques have been shown to be able to achieve near-capacity performance in multiple antenna systems. To obtain the optimal soft information by marginalizing over the entire observation space is intractable; and it is not clear what the best way to obtain the suboptimal soft information is. In this talk, an improved scheme is proposed which can be adapted to various list-type detectors and provide superior performance.

Soft iterative detection and decoding techniques have been shown to be able to achieve near-capacity performance in multiple antenna systems. To obtain the optimal soft information by marginalizing over the entire observation space is intractable: one must resort to suboptimal methods to implement such receivers. Although list-type detectors such as those founded upon the sphere decoding algorithm provide outstanding error performance, issues such as the optimal initial sphere radius, optimal radius update strategy, and their highly variable computational complexity are still unresolved. In this paper, a new detection scheme is proposed addressing the above issues. Our simulation results show that by sacrificing less than 2 dB at error rate of 10 -5 , we are able to gain up to 38.6% complexity reduction as well as a detector structure that is more suitable for practical system implementation.
