Increasingly, feedback of measured run-time information is being used in the optimization of computation execution. This paper introduces a model relating the static view of a computation to its run-time variance that is useful in this context. A notion of uncertainty is then used to provide bounds on key scheduling parameters of the run-time computation. To illustrate the relationship between fidelity in measured information and minimum schedulable, grain size, we apply the bounds to three existing parallel architectures for the case of run-time variance caused by monitoring intrusion. We also outline a hybrid static-dynamic scheduling paradigm-SEDIA-that uses the model of uncertainty to optimize computation for execution in the presence of run-time variance from sources other than monitoring intrusion.

A block-matching method is generally used for the disparity estimation as well as motion estimation applications. However, this method suffers from limitations such as blocking artifacts on the reconstructed images and a lack of compensation ability for the mismatching areas. A new disparity estimation scheme using 2-D filtering is proposed to provide more accurate estimates of the disparity vector and better compensation ability. This is accomplished by applying the left image to the reference input of the filter while using the right image as the desired output. The goal is to provide the best matching for the right image using the filter output instead of the left image directly as used in the block-matching method. A reduced order filtering scheme is also introduced to minimize the number of filter coefficients for the reconstruction. The reconstructed images generated based upon the estimated disparity vectors and some principal filter coefficients exhibited excellent quality.

This paper studies the application of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) to increase the performance of wireless communications. STAP applied to CDMA systems is an efficient means to increase the capacity by providing diversity paths to combat multipath and by suppressing interference through spatial-temporal filtering. STAP may also be used to harden commercial systems for military applications by rejecting narrowband interferences in overlay situations. The main advantage of interference suppression in the spatial domain is its robustness with respect to the interference bandwidth. The performance of several STAP architectures is reviewed. The performance of wireless systems with array processing or STAP is degraded by errors in the estimation of the covariance matrix due to finite sample effects. Full and reduced-rank methods are analyzed with respect to their robustness to finite sample effects.

Electromagnetically-trained artificial neural network (EM-ANN) models for coplanar waveguide (CPW) 90/spl deg/ bends with air-bridges are presented. The optimal chamfer is determined for a conventional CPW bend where both the slot and strip are chamfered. Also, a novel compensated CPW bend is introduced where only the strip is chamfered. Optimum value of this chamfer is found to be the maximum chamfer allowed by air-bridge placement. This novel compensated CPW bend is shown to reduce the return loss from that in the conventional optimally chamfered CPW bend by 3 to 7 dB.

This paper presents an extension to interferometric SAR (InSAR), known as multi-baseline InSAR. The technique is based on the use of N>2 SAR imaging flight paths to synthesise an aperture in the normal-to-slant-range (nsr) direction. This leads to the generation of digital elevation models with improved ground-range resolution and elevation accuracy as well as the ability to resolve scatterers in the nsr direction.

We extend the LMMSE multiuser detector to multi-rate CDMA systems, where different users have different quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. The proposed LMMSE detectors can work on dual-rate mode according to different computational constraints. Only the signature of the desired user is needed in using the proposed multi-rate LMMSE detectors. The proposed detectors have better detection performance and less computational requirement than the dual-rate decorrelating detectors. computer simulations verified analytical results and conjecture.

The capacity of wireless CDMA systems in the forward link is limited by both intra-cell and inter-cell cochannel interferences. In particular, when the mobile is close to a cell boundary, the desired signal from home base station (BS) is disturbed by relatively strong interference from neighboring BSs. In this paper, a receiver architecture is suggested at the mobile to utilize a small two-antenna array for interference cancellation. Such a canceller works well only when the channel vector of desired signal is known. We use the identifying spreading codes (as in IS-95 for example) to provide an adaptive channel vector estimate, and control the beam steering weight, hence improving the system capacity.

It is well known that pointing and random angle errors degrade the performance of adaptive radar quickly. A joint adaptive estimation-calibration (JEC) algorithm is proposed to provide on-line look direction corrections and array calibration. The new algorithm is presented in the context of a generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC). The proposed algorithm uses the array output to generate a control signal for steering vector corrections, which in turn yield higher signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SNIR) at the array output. A Doppler technique is used to provide cleaner reference of target signal, which results in better correction of the steering vector. A simple case is investigated to explain how the scheme works and a steady state condition analysis is provided. For an 8-element antenna array, the new algorithm is demonstrated by simulations, which show that the output SNIR is improved by the correction of pointing and random angle errors.

Image decomposition based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been proposed for efficient storage and progressive transmission of images for visual browsing in digital image libraries. Although the compression aspects of the DWT have been carefully researched, reconstruction errors due to corrupted wavelet coefficients have received less attention. In this paper we consider the problem of bit errors affecting uniformly quantized wavelet coefficients. The proposed method, which is based on a local image model, simultaneously detects and masks corrupted wavelet coefficients.

The paper presents a perceptual image representation technique based on fractal surface interpolation (FSI), This technique is motivated from the observation that images taken from the real world contain many textures that are self similar, or fractal, in nature. The fractal surface interpolation representation is then compressed using a zero tree wavelet compression subsystem with lossless entropy encoding. The fractal surface interpolation technique described relies on the extraction and reconstruction of self affine fractal surfaces with measured Hurst exponents H*. This gives statistically self similar fractal surfaces used to represent textures in a real world image. Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) through a modified midpoint displacement (MPD) algorithm provides the basis for generating these self affine fractal surfaces between interpolation points.
