The goal of this research is to develop a multi-layer feedforward neural network architecture which can distinguish targets (in this case, mines) from background clutter in sidescan sonar images. The network is to be implemented on a hardware neurocomputer currently in development at CSDL, with the goal of eventual real-time performance in the field. A variety of neural network architectures are developed, simulated, and evaluated in an attempt to find the best approach for this particular application. It has been found that classical statistical feature extraction is outperformed by a much less computationally expensive approach that simultaneously compresses and filters the raw data by taking a simple mean.< >

A criterion for the absence of zero-input limit cycles in recursive digital filter structures that can be implemented with a single quantizer in the recursive loop is presented. The criterion can be applied with a rounding or with a magnitude truncation quantizer and accounts for the use of error feedback as well. Additionally, a criterion for the elimination of constant-input limit cycles is formulated. The criteria are applied to several well-known filter structures. Since most of the structures have previously been analyzed in a multiquantizer implementation only, new results on their stability properties in the single-quantizer configuration are obtained.< >

Dynamic analysis of waveguide structures containing dielectric and metal strips is presented. The analysis utilizes a finite difference frequency domain procedure to reduce the problem to a symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem. Since the matrix is also sparse, the eigenvalue problem can be solved quickly and efficiently using the conjugate gradient method resulting in considerable savings in computer storage and time. Comparison is made with the analytical solution for the loaded dielectric waveguide case. For the microstrip case, we get both waveguide modes and quasi-TEM modes. The quasi-TEM modes in the limit of zero frequency are checked with the static analysis which also uses finite difference. Some of the quasi-TEM modes are spurious. This article describes their origin and discusses how to eliminate them. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the principles.

This paper investigates some approaches for designing one-dimensional linear phase finite-duration impulse-responses (FIR) notch filters, which are based on the modification of several established design techniques of linear phase FIR band-selective filters. Based on extensive design examples and theoretical analysis, formulae have been developed for estimating the length of a linear phase FIR notch filter meeting the given specifications. In addition, the design of two-dimensional linear phase FIR notch filters is briefly considered. Illustrative examples are included.

An adaptive set membership identification algorithm with a very flexible forgetting scheme is presented. In preliminary experiments, the method yields highly accurate estimates using very few of the data, and quickly adapts to fast-changing dynamics. A compact systolic architecture to implement this algorithm is developed which uses O(m) cells and reduces the computational complexity to O(m) operations per observation, where m represents the number of parameters to be estimated in a linear system or signal model.< >

An algorithm that removes impulse noise in images using a modified dynamic programming method is outlined. The restoration process combines two operations. In the first operation, the pixels corrupted by impulse noise are detected by a dynamic programming based searching strategy. In the second operation, the original gray levels of the noisy pixels are estimated by a linear interpolation or extrapolation approach. A separable process is used to detect the noisy pixels of the images. In order to preserve the details of the images and reduce the computational complexity of conventional dynamic programming, two modifications have been developed. One is called neighborhood searching with an adaptive figure of merit and the other is called overlapping block processing. The actual performance of the proposed technique is compared with that of the commonly used median filter by filtering noise-corrupted images. Some computational considerations are also discussed.< >

A procedure for evaluating the likelihood of a hidden Markov model using only O(N/K) floating-point operations per observation is developed where N is the number of states in the model and K is a large integer. Experimental tests show that effective recognition of cerebral palsy speech requires highly connected models so that O(3N) to O(N/sup 2/) operations are necessary using conventional algorithms. The reduction in computational complexity is required for near-real-time recognition algorithms to be feasible on ordinary personal computers.< >
