A general approach to the transform-magnitude-shaping-based image enhancement method is advanced. In the method, the magnitude of the input image transform is modified using a nonlinear mapping expressible as a power series, while its phase is kept invariant. The inverse transform of the modified image transform results in a sharpening or smoothing depending on the choice of the power series coefficients. Further improvement in the overall enhancement is achieved by a two-channel processing scheme which is implemented by applying different transform amplitude shaping methods to the low-frequency and high-frequency components. Examples the proposed enhancement method are included.< >

A technique that greatly simplifies the computational complexity of digital cyclic spectral analysis algorithms is presented. The technique, which is based on Bussgang's theorem, replaces complex multiplications in spectral correlation operations with simple sign-change and data-multiplexing operations. Moreover, the technique is applicable to both time- and frequency-averaging algorithms. A simulation study that compares the computed results obtained using the new technique with results from standard time- and frequency-averaging algorithms shows that the new technique is very promising, particularly for frequency-averaging algorithms.

The problem of image decompression is cast as an ill-posed inverse problem, and a stochastic regularization technique is used to form a well-posed reconstruction algorithm. A statistical model for the image which incorporates the convex Huber minimax function is proposed. The use of the Huber minimax function rho T(.) helps to maintain the discontinuities from the original image which produces high-resolution edge boundaries. Since rho T(.) is convex, the resulting multidimensional minimization problem is a constrained convex optimization problem. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation technique that is proposed results in the constrained optimization of a convex functional. The proposed image decompression algorithm produces reconstructed images which greatly reduced the noticeable artifacts which exist using standard techniques.< >

For real-time radar processing, it is very desirable to have an algorithm that does not assume restricted statistics of the input data and can be implemented for high-speed processing (without a high cost) to meet real-time requirements. We therefore apply the QR decomposition-based least-squares method for linear prediction to the problem of computing the reflection coefficients of a lattice predictor, instead of using the conventional Burg algorithm. We also propose a modified one-dimensional ring architecture for implementing the QR method of least-squares. The particular application considered in this case is that of surveillance radar systems for air traffic control.< >

A novel approach to solving the problem of signal separation under model uncertainties and unknown source signal characteristics is proposed. The approach features the incorporation of blind identification with clustering techniques. The approach is capable of estimating source locations and source signals under various uncertain conditions including unknown sensor gains, unknown combinations of near-field and far-field sources, unknown combinations of wideband and narrowband sources, unknown source spectral characteristics (their spectra may be overlapping or non-overlapping), and unknown number of signals.< >

It is well-known that the stability of linear periodic (LP) systems can be assessed using Floquet Characteristic Exponents (FCE). In this paper, a new method is presented for evaluating FCE for nth-order scalar periodic linear systems based on a recently developed unified eigenvalue theory for linear time-varying (LTV) Systems [1]. The new theory allows FCEs to be evaluated from the DC term of the Fourier series of periodic PD-eigen-values of a LP system. Comparing to the well-known Monodromy Matrix (MM) method and Infinite Dimensional Determinant (IDD) method for evaluating FCE 1 the solutions obtained by the new method have rapid local convergence. This new method also allow stability boundaries in the parameter space of a LP system to be evaluated and plotted directly. The new results shed some light OL the general stability assessment problem for vector periodic linear systems and aperiodic LTV systems. Further studies along this direction are also discussed in this paper.

An empirical measure for the selection of the edge-enhancement Gaussian filter is developed. The Gaussian filter is specified by its standard deviation sigma ; the filter's spatial support is a function of sigma . An estimation procedure for sigma using Fourier analysis is described. The measure is easy to implement and is based totally on the image at hand. Experimental results suggest that this measure can be used as an aid in deciding the Gaussian filter's spatial support, which is needed to enhance the edges. Other equivalent bandwidth definitions can be used to obtain a measure of the frequency spread in the smoothed image (e.g., the mean-square bandwidth).< >

This paper summarizes the results of two neural hardware implementations of a helicopter gearbox health monitoring system (HMS). Our first hybrid approach and implementation to fault diagnosis is outlined, and our results are summarized using three levels of fault characterization: fault detection (fault or no fault), classification (gear or bearing fault), and identification (fault sub-classes). Our second all-analog implementation exploits the ability, of analog neural hardware to compute the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) as a pre-processor to a neural classifier. Our hardware results compare well with previously published software simulations.< >
