The problem of defining an appropriate measure of the degree of nonstationarity for stochastic processes that exhibit cyclostationarity is addressed. After discussing several candidate measures of degree of nonstationarity, one particularly promising measure is adopted. By decomposing this measure, several component measures are arrived at. Bounds on these measures are derived and their utility in applications involving signal detection and estimation is established. Examples are presented to illustrate the calculation of degrees of nonstationarity for several types of cyclostationary signals.

The authors propose an algorithm in which multi-mode coding is a transparent adaptation of multi-stage VXC (vector excitation coding) requiring almost zero additional computation. In the process, it is shown how the cost of the jointly optimized multi-stage VXC can be minimized using a backward-transform implementation of the perceptually orthogonal VXC (POVXC) algorithm previously proposed by the authors. It is shown that the performance of such a coder, while not as good as that of a normal multi-mode coder, is noticeably better than that of a normal POVXC.< >

The authors introduce two techniques for improving low-bit-rate CELP (code excited linear prediction) speech coders. The sparse-delta stochastic codebook is a recursive codebook design which can be searched using roughly 5% of the computational load required to search a full Gaussian codebook. Pitch sharpening is a class of algorithms which attempt to improve the perceptual quality of CELP by limiting the feedback of low-amplitude noiselike information to the adaptive codebook. Simulation results are presented for sparse-delta, ternary sparse-delta, and simplified-search sparse-delta coders, and for reduced-gain and sparse-adaptive-codebook pitch sharpening algorithms.< >

Two types of very simple two-dimensional nonlinear filters are introduced and applied to image contrast enhancement. The first type is based on a generalization of the Teager's algorithm. A theoretical analysis has shown that this type of nonlinear filter works like a local-mean-weighted highpass filter. Based on this analysis, a second type of nonlinear filter has been developed which works like local-mean-weighted bandpass filter. The proposed image contrast enhancement technique is based on combining the original image with its filtered version obtained using one of the two nonlinear filters. Very high quality enhancement has been achieved for natural images.< >

A self-organizing neural network is presented which automatically learns the number and type of spectral features from speech examples. The learning algorithm is analyzed with respect to its convergence and stability properties. The “strength” of the presence of the learned features is registered by the network to effect recognition of further speech presentations. The network consists of two layers of feature detectors, each layer of which is self-organized, and the outputs of the second layer are time-aligned in the present design using dynamic time warping. The significance of the two-layer structure, as well as general architectural advantages of the network, are discussed. Results of experiments involving various isolated word recognition tasks, including single and multi-speaker training and recognition, and the recognition of speech of a nonverbal individual, are reported.

An approach is presented for efficiently designing and implementing FIR (finite impulse response) filter banks with equal passband bandwidths. The overall bank of L filters is generated from a prototype 2Lth-band filter with the aid of a few additional coefficients and adders. The attractive properties of these filter banks are that the sum of filter outputs is guaranteed to be a pure delay and the passband bandwidths are the same for all the filters.< >

A procedure for the reformulation of Chang's criterion (1981) for the absence of zero-input limit cycles in recursive digital filters is presented. The technique employs the standard bilinear transform to convert a frequency-domain criterion into a polynomial form in terms of matrix transformations. The use of the method is illustrated with design examples applied to determine the stability region for certain single-quantizer recursive filter structures. The results can be utilized, e.g., in the design of an error feedback network for a given filter such that limit cycles are eliminated.< >
