Overdetermined Blind Source Separation Based on Singular Value Decomposition
Zhu Xiao-long, Zhang Xian-da
2004, 26(3): 337-343.
Abstract:
The problem of overdetermined Blind Source Separation (BSS) where there are more mixtures than sources is considered. Beginning with the Singular Value Decompo sition (SVD) of the separation matrix, a cost function is presented based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and then the ordinary gradient learning algorithm is developed. Secondly, resorting to the relative gradient, it is shown that the natural gradient learning algorithm for overdetermined BSS has the same form as that for usual complete BSS, which is verified by simulation results.

Huang Ke-ji, Tian Da, Chen Tian-qi
2004, 26(3): 344-349.
Abstract:
In allusion to wideband chirp signals with time-varying direction vector, this paper constructs STFD(Spatial Time-Frequency Distribution) by short WVD(Wigner-Ville Distribution). By eigenvalue decomposition to get signal subspace and noise subspace, a algorithm of DOA estimation based on time-frequency subspace projection is proposed . Through spatial smoothing, the problem of DOA estimation of signals with the same time-frequency signature is solved. This method need not focusing and interpolation, has high precision and low computation. Simulation shows the algorithm has better performance than the method of DOA estimation of wideband signals based on matrix interpolation proposed recently.
A Novel Method for Estimating 2-D DOA in the Presence of Impulsive Noise
Lu Ze-jun, Xiao Xian-ci
2004, 26(3): 350-356.
Abstract:
This paper presents a new fractional lower order moment-based 2-D direction finding method-robust covariation DOA matrix method in the presence of impulsive noise which can be modeled as a symmetric alpha-stable(SaS) process. The method extends signal models and application situation of original DOA matrix algorithm by exploiting the features of impulsive noise and SaS processes. The approach is robust against additive impulsive noise. It enhances universality and robustness of the algorithm, and remedies the shortcoming of the traditional subspace techniques employing both second-order and higher order moments, which cannot be applied in impulsive noise environments. The simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the new algorithm.

Bai Xia, Hong Wen, Mao Shi-yi
2004, 26(3): 357-363.
Abstract:
Allowable platform motion error allocation is an important part of system-wide allocation in SAR system. It is a necessary system design procedure to take into account error effects, error sources, and performance-limiting factors to determine more reasonable design. Based on analysis and simulation of impact of platform motion errors on SAR image quality, a method is proposed of allowable platform motion errors allocations in airborne SAR system. Firstly, according to actual imaging system and environment, simulation mode is built; and then allowable self-existent motion errors, allowable coexistent motion errors, modified allowable motion errors are in turn obtained; finally, considering some associated factor, reasonable project is decided. As the method counts in platform and image parameter values, type and direction of platform motion errors and scene size, it has both pertinence and rationality.

Jiang Dong-mei, Xie Lei, Ilse Ravyse, Zhao Rong-chun, Hichem Sahli, Jan Cornelis
2004, 26(3): 375-381.
Abstract:
A continuous speech recognition system for a talking head is presented in this paper, which is based on the viseme (the basic speech unit in visual domain) HMMs and segments speech to mouth shape sequences with timing boundaries. The trisemes are for malized to consider the viseme contexts. Based on the 3D talking head images, the viseme similarity weight (VSW) is denned, and 166 visual questions are designed for the building of the triseme decision trees to tie the states of the trisemes with similar contexts, so that they can share the same parameters. For the system evaluation, besides the recognition rate, an image related measurement, the viseme similarity weighted accuracy accounts for the mismatches of the recognized viseme sequence with its reference, and jerky points in liprounding and VSW graphs help evaluate the smoothness of the resulting viseme image sequences. Results show that the viseme based speech recognition system gives smoother and more plausible mouth shapes.

Li Yi-bo, Huang Xiao-yuan
2004, 26(3): 382-388.
Abstract:
The new pattern recognition method of traditional Chinese medicine based on High Performance Liquid Chromatogram(HPLC) is presented. While a new self-organizing fuzzy neural network is also proposed in order to recognize the traditional Chinese medicine. This network is composed of two levels neural network: the first level is a self-organizing fuzzy neural network which has the automatic clustering structure for sub-class; the second level is supervised sub-class classification neural network. The whole network has not only the learning ability to neural network, but also the logic ability to fuzzy system based on rules, especially the automatic clustering ability to sub-class. The automatic clustering ability for sub-class has great meaning to the pattern recognition of traditional Chinese medicine because the traditional Chinese medicine will be very different under the condition of different place come from, different time picked up and different method dealt with. In addition, the whole network can also adapt to the fuzzy pattern recognition problem when the feature dimensions are not equal. It is manifested after abundant of traditional Chinese medicine samples have been used to test the networks abilities. The results show that the resistance to parallel removal, deformation and the adaptability to the medicines coming from new places are very strong, thus the goals expected are achieved.

2004, 26(3): 389-393.
Abstract:
In this paper, the fractal scale is introduced as a new measure to describe natural physical surfaces.

For the purpose of classification, the fractal scales and the fractal dimensions along horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions are obtained to form a feature set with six parameters. The probabilistic neural network is used as the texture classifier. Results have shown satisfied classification of natural textures.

Zhu Chang-hua, Pei Chang-xing, Li Jian-dong, Xiao Hai-yun
2004, 26(3): 446-452.
Abstract:
This paper focuses on measurement of Internet end-to-end delay, which is one of the important characteristics of Internet end-to-end packet dynamics. Measuring the end-to-end delay of Internet can be used in QoS management, SLA management, congestion control algorithm development, etc. The conventional methods to measure one-way delay rely on GPS receiver or NTP protocol to keep synchronization between senders clock and receivers clock. However, GPS receiver is not ubiquitous in price and environment and NTP protocol is low in accuracy. A new method based on linear programming, which can remove the skew and offset between two clocks, is presented. Measuring results show that the method works well in removing the factors which effect the end-to-end delay measurement.

Zhao Yu-peng, Wan Feng, Lei Hong
2004, 26(3): 489-494.
Abstract:
A quantizaiton method is presented to aim at the fractional saturation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) raw data. Norm distribution is the basis of Block Adaptive Quantization (BAQ) algorithm. But in the application of BAQ, some trouble may encounter, one of these is fractional saturation of raw data. A compression algorithm based on the traditional BAQ algorithm is presented, which can select different ways to quantify the raw data. This algorithm reduces the error and increases the Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio (SQNR) without influence the compression ratio. Finally, a block of real SAR raw data are processed by the two algorithms and the result is compared with each other.

He Xiao-xiang, Xu Jin-ping
2004, 26(3): 500-504.
Abstract:
Edge Based Finite Element Method (EB-FEM) is combined with overlapping or nonoverlapping overrelaxation Domain Decomposition Method (DDM) and Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) for analyzing the electromagnetic (EM) scattering of electrically large open-ended cavities. The cavity is partitioned into several small subdomains. EB-FEM is applied in every subdomain. The coupling of each neighboring subdomains is realized by vector transmission condition, and the electric field distribution in the cavity is found by iteration. BIE is added on the aperture of the original cavity. Both the BIE and transmission condition are transformed into the third boundary condition. Several numerical results are presented, which demonstrate that the proposed approach is accurate and efficient for analysis of the EM scattering of open-ended cavities.
