Doppler Estimation Method of Using Frequency Channel Response for OFDM System...
This document proposes a new Doppler estimation method for OFDM systems that uses the frequency channel response (CFR) instead of the conventional method that uses the channel impulse response (CIR). The proposed method employs the autocorrelation of the estimated CFR, which can be accurately estimated even when zero-padding is used, unlike the CIR. A least squares method is then applied to the autocorrelation values to estimate the Doppler frequency. The document compares the proposed method to conventional methods through simulations, demonstrating better Doppler and C/N estimation accuracy, especially at higher Doppler spreads and lower C/N values.
DETERMINATION OF SPATIAL RESOLUTION IN COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY (CR) BY COMPARING...
The QC (Quality Control) testing of spatial resolution in CR (Computed Radiography) using ESF-PSF and IP-PSF methods has been investigated. The object used in this study is a phantom made of copper with 15 cm both in lenght and widht, and 1 mm in thickness. The exposure to phantom was occured with some variation of voltage, i.e. 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV and 80 kV for CR system. Current variation wass performed by four times for each voltage, i.e. 1.6 mAs; 4 mAs; 16 mAs and 32 mAs. Digital image data used for the acquisition is in the DICOM format. Measurement of image's spatial resolution wass performed by calculate the value of FWHM as an indicator of good or poor spatial resolution of images. Measurement of FWHM value has performed by using MATLAB R2015b and Corel Draw X7 programs. The FWHM value was obtained from gaussian function which provides a complete information on opaqueness effects that occur in images. The results showed that the best value of spatial resolution for the ESF-PSF methode is 2.50 lp/mm and the worst value is 2.36 lp/mm, while for the best resolution using IP-PSF is 2.85 lp/mm and worst is 1.01 lp/mm. The value of spatial resolution is proportional to the voltage of the tube, where the higher voltage provides the higher value of spatial resolution. But the value of spatial resolution has decreased with the current variation due to the higher current of mobile X-ray's tube.

The document presents a new adaptive active constellation extension (ACE) algorithm for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) minimization in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The algorithm combines clipping-based ACE with an adaptive control mechanism that allows finding the optimal clipping level. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a minimum PAPR even for severely low clipping signals, solving a problem with conventional CB-ACE where PAPR reduction decreases for low clipping ratios.

OPTIMAL BEAM STEERING ANGLES OF A SENSOR ARRAY FOR A MULTIPLE SOURCE SCENARIO
The document presents methods to optimize beam steering angles of a sensor array to minimize the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for angle of arrival (AOA) estimation in multiple source scenarios. Specifically, it derives the gradient and Hessian of the trace of the CRB formula with respect to the beam steering angles. These can be used in a Newton-Raphson iteration to find the optimal beam steering angles that minimize the CRB, and thus provide the best AOA estimation performance according to CRB theory. Simulation results show lower mean squared error when using the optimized beam steering angles compared to usual discrete Fourier transform steering.

This document discusses a novel adaptive sub-band filter design using particle swarm optimization. It begins by reviewing related work on sub-band adaptive filtering techniques for noise cancellation, including sign sub-band adaptive filters and variable step sizes. It then describes the sign sub-band adaptive filter algorithm with individual weighting factors to improve convergence rate. The proposed method applies particle swarm optimization to the delayless closed-loop individual weighting factor sign sub-band adaptive filter with band-dependent variable step sizes. This achieves better convergence performance through 1-norm minimization in sub-bands and the decorrelating properties of sub-band adaptive filtering, with improved computational efficiency from the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The experimental results show the proposed method outperforms

IGARSS2011_PPT_Liumeng.ppt
The document analyzes coherence optimization methods for compact polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry (C-PolInSAR). It finds that while coherence is generally lower for C-PolInSAR than fully polarimetric SAR, optimization techniques can increase coherence to levels close to fully polarimetric SAR. The dual circular polarization mode provided the highest coherence for forested and crop areas, while the π/4 mode was best for roads and bare land. Coherence was highest using the unconstrained Lagrange multipliers method and decreased using the numerical radius and constrained Lagrange multipliers methods.
Fast Sparse 2-D DFT Computation using Sparse-Graph Alias Codes
This document presents a method called 2D-FFAST (Fast Fourier-Aliasing-based Sparse Transform) that enables fast computation of sparse 2D discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs). It generalizes a previous 1D method to exploit sparsity and allow sub-Nyquist sampling rates. The key ideas are: 1) aliasing patterns from different subsampling reveal sparse entries, 2) choosing co-prime subsampling factors provides diverse patterns, and 3) combining patterns recovers the sparse spectrum. Simulations demonstrate reconstruction of medical images from highly subsampled measurements in both ideal sparse models and more realistic settings.

This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of a selection decode-and-forward cooperative free-space optical communication system using adaptive subcarrier quadrature amplitude modulation. The system employs selective relaying to choose the best intermediate node based on channel state information. Novel expressions are derived for outage probability, spectral efficiency, and bit error rate considering Gamma-Gamma atmospheric turbulence fading. Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive system has improved performance compared to non-adaptive systems and all-active relaying schemes.
06 spatial filtering DIP
Spatial filtering involves applying filters or kernels to images to enhance or modify pixel values based on neighboring pixel values. Linear spatial filtering involves taking a weighted sum of pixel values within the filter window. Common filters include averaging filters for noise reduction, median filters to reduce impulse noise while preserving edges, and sharpening filters like Laplacian filters and unsharp masking to enhance details.

The document compares the performance of uniform line arrays using non-overlapping (NOSA) and overlapping (2:1 OSA, 3:1 OSA) subarray architectures with conventional beamforming (CBF) and adaptive beamforming (ABF). Key results show that increasing the overlap factor reduces the number and amplitude of grating lobes when beams are steered off broadside. Specifically, the 3:1 OSA architecture showed grating lobe levels 42 dB below the main lobe compared to 12 dB for NOSA and 25 dB for 2:1 OSA. For ABF, the different architectures performed identically due to their equivalent K/I ratios, but increasing overlap thinned the grating lobes at higher SNR

Reduction of Azimuth Uncertainties in SAR Images Using Selective Restoration
The document proposes a framework to reduce azimuth uncertainties in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. It identifies azimuth uncertainty using a local average SAR image, system parameters, and a metric from the azimuth antenna pattern. Uncertainties are classified as isolated or clustered based on size. Isolated ambiguities consisting of smaller interconnected pixel regions are restored using compressive imaging. Clustered ambiguities consisting of larger interconnected pixel regions are restored using exemplar-based image inpainting. The proposed method was tested on real TerraSAR-X data and was able to effectively remove azimuth uncertainties and enhance image quality.

Performance of cognitive radio networks with maximal ratio combining over cor...Polytechnique Montreal
This document analyzes the performance of cognitive radio networks using maximal ratio combining over correlated Rayleigh fading channels. It presents a simple analytical method to derive closed-form expressions for the probabilities of detection and false alarm. The key findings are:
1) The detection probability is a monotonically increasing function of the number of antennas, as more antennas provides more diversity gain.
2) Antenna correlation degrades the sensing performance compared to independent antennas. Higher correlation results in lower detection probability.
3) Complementary receiver operating characteristic curves illustrate that both higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower antenna correlation improve detection performance by increasing the detection probability and decreasing the probability of miss at a given false alarm probability.Technical seminar
This document proposes a lane boundary detection method based on high dynamic range (HDR) images to improve lane detection accuracy for lane departure warning systems. It presents an improved method using exposure fusion to merge differently exposed images, reducing computation time compared to traditional HDR merging. Experimental results show the HDR image improves accuracy but traditional merging is too slow, while the improved exposure fusion method detects lanes within 100ms, fast enough for real-time systems.

This document compares geometry-based Doppler ambiguity resolution methods for squint synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and presents an indirect scheme for estimating Doppler rate in low-contrast scenes. It introduces squint SAR geometry and the effects of incorrect Doppler parameters. It then describes conventional, iterative, and improved Radon transform geometry-based methods for resolving Doppler ambiguity, noting the improved schemes are faster. Finally, it presents a method to indirectly estimate Doppler rate in low-contrast scenes by first estimating it in high-contrast areas and using the inverse relationship between Doppler rate and range.
Interferogram Filtering Using Gaussians Scale Mixtures in Steerable Wavelet D...
An interferogram filtering is presented in this paper. The main concern of the proposed scheme is to lower the residues count mean while preserving the location and jump height of the lines of phase discontinuity. The proposed method is based on a statistical model of the coefficients of multi-scale oriented basis. Neighborhoods of coefficients at adjacent positions and scales are modeled as the product of two independent random variables: a Gaussian vector and a hidden positive scalar multiplier. Under this model, the Bayesian least squares estimate of each coefficient reduces to a weighted average of the local linear estimates over all possible values of the hidden multiplier variable. The performance of this method substantially has the advantages of reducing number of residuals without affecting line of height discontinuity.

MO4.L10.2 - VALIDATION FOR GOES-R AND NPOESS LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE PRODUCT...
This document summarizes research evaluating uncertainties in comparing ground-measured land surface temperature (LST) to satellite-derived LST. The researchers used high-resolution ASTER imagery to characterize sub-pixel variability within low-resolution satellite pixels containing ground measurement sites. Preliminary analysis of four sites found mean differences between synthetic low-resolution pixels and in situ measurements of around 1K, with standard deviations of about 2K, indicating ground measurements can help validate satellite LST if accurate. However, systematic differences between sensor measurements were a major source of uncertainty. More data analysis is needed to better understand seasonal variability.

RFI_in_PALSAR_data.pdf
This document discusses randomly changing radio frequency interference (RFI) detected in ALOS PALSAR data collected over the American Arctic. It presents an analysis of RFI signatures identified in the data and the development of an azimuth analysis-based notch filtering algorithm to mitigate the effects of the interference. The algorithm detects and removes RFI based on outliers identified in azimuth cuts through the range-frequency data. Results show the method successfully restores data quality and polarimetric signatures degraded by RFI from long-range radar stations. The document concludes growing RFI is an issue for microwave remote sensing and requires ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts.
Multitemporal region-based classification of high-resolution images by Markov...
This paper proposes a new method for classifying multitemporal high-resolution images using Markov random fields and multiscale segmentation. The method fuses spatial, temporal, and multiscale information by generating segmentation maps at different scales and time points, and using these in a novel region-based multitemporal Markov random field model. Experimental results on QuickBird and SPOT-5 datasets show the method produces accurate classification maps and outperforms previous techniques that do not fully leverage multiscale and contextual information.

Wavelet
1. The document proposes a new image denoising method called NormalShrink that uses wavelet thresholding with an adaptive threshold estimated based on the subband characteristics of the noisy image.
2. Experimental results on test images like Lena, Barbara and Goldhill show that NormalShrink outperforms other methods like SureShrink, BayesShrink and Wiener filtering in terms of PSNR for most noise levels, remaining within 4% of the best possible OracleShrink method.
3. NormalShrink is also computationally more efficient than BayesShrink, removing noise significantly while preserving important image features better than compared methods.
W6P3622650776P65
This paper presents a technique for denoising digital radiographic images using a wavelet-based hidden Markov model. The method first applies the Anscombe transformation to adjust for Poisson noise, then uses the dual-tree complex wavelet transform for decomposition. A hidden Markov tree model is used to capture correlations between wavelet coefficients across scales. Two correction functions are applied to shrink coefficients before inverse transformation. Evaluation on phantom and clinical images showed the method outperforms Gaussian filtering in terms of noise reduction, detail quality and bone sharpness, though some edges had artifacts.
DME Interference Mitigation through Blanking
This paper proposes a digital pulse blanking algorithm to mitigate pulsed interference from Distance Measurement Equipment (DME) signals on the IRNSS L5 band. The algorithm averages absolute values of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) samples to better detect the envelope of DME interference pulses against noise. It calculates a threshold from the distribution of averaged samples to improve blanking performance compared to using the noise floor. Testing with a hardware simulator and receiver shows the algorithm effectively reduces carrier-to-noise ratio degradation and improves satellite acquisition under moderate to high DME interference levels.

Image Compression using WDR & ASWDR Techniques with different Wavelet Codecs
In this paper, two different Wavelet based Image
Compression techniques are compared. The techniques
involved in the comparison process are WDR and ASWDR.
The above two techniques are implemented with different
types of wavelet codecs. Wavelet difference reduction (WDR)
has recently been proposed as a method for efficient embedded
image coding. This method retains all of the important features
like low complexity, region of interest, embeddedness, and
progressive SNR. ASWDR adapts the scanning procedure used
by WDR in order to predict locations of significant transform
values at half thresholds. Here, there are two types of Wavelet
transforms are applied on the images before compression.
They are DD 2+2,2 Integer Wavelet transform and Daub 9/7
Wavelet transform. The quality of the reconstructed images
is calculated by using three performance parameters PSNR,
MSE and SNE values. The images yield high PSNR values
and low MSE values.

Max_Poster_FINAL
This project implemented a wideband spectrum sensing algorithm using a software-defined radio to detect active signals in the electromagnetic spectrum around SUNY Oswego. The algorithm used hypothesis testing on received signals to identify center frequencies and bandwidths of signals like LTE, aeronautical radio and Earth-space communications. Testing showed the algorithm could accurately detect signals in noise and identify occupied portions of the spectrum between 88-90 MHz and others. Future work could involve networking multiple SDRs to provide real-time spectrum analysis across a wider area.

Noise Removal in SAR Images using Orthonormal Ridgelet Transform
Development in the field of image processing for reducing speckle noise from digital images/satellite images is a challenging task for image processing applications. Previously many algorithms were proposed to de-speckle the noise in digital images. Here in this article we are presenting experimental results on de-speckling of Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) images. SAR images have wide applications in remote sensing and mapping the surfaces of all planets. SAR can also be implemented as "inverse SAR" by observing a moving target over a substantial time with a stationary antenna. Hence denoising of SAR images is an essential task for viewing the information. Here we introduce a transformation technique called ―Ridgelet‖, which is an extension level of wavelet. Ridgelet analysis can be done in the similar way how wavelet analysis was done in the Radon domain as it translates singularities along lines into point singularities under different frequencies. Simulation results were show cased for proving that proposed work is more reliable than compared to other de-speckling processes, and the quality of de-speckled image is measured in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Mean Square Error

Ijarcet vol-2-issue-7-2273-2276
This paper presents an approach for image restoration in the presence of blur and noise. The image is divided into independent regions modeled with a Gaussian prior. Wavelet-based methods are used for image denoising, while classical Wiener filtering is used for deblurring. The algorithm finds the maximum a posteriori estimate at the intersection of convex sets generated by Wiener filtering. It provides efficient image restoration without sacrificing the simplicity of filtering, and generates a better restored image compared to previous methods.

Detection and Classification in Hyperspectral Images using Rate Distortion an...Pioneer Natural Resources
This document summarizes an experiment that compares two methods of bit allocation for compressing hyperspectral imagery using JPEG2000: 1) the traditional high bit rate quantizer approach and 2) the rate distortion optimal (RDO) approach. The experiment shows that both methods perform well at relatively low bit rates, achieving over 96% classification accuracy. However, at very low bit rates, the RDO approach outperforms the high bit rate quantizer approach, achieving 90% accuracy at 0.0375 bpppb compared to less than 90% for the high bit rate method. The RDO approach also achieves lower mean squared error than the high bit rate quantizer approach.Effects of Weight Approximation Methods on Performance of Digital Beamforming...
This document discusses the effects of weight approximation methods on the performance of digital beamforming using the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm. It compares the performance of two proposed weight approximation algorithms - minimum modulus method and motion corroboration method - to conventional 0-floor and 0.5-floor methods. The proposed algorithms provide better beampattern, lower sidelobe levels, and slightly faster convergence compared to conventional methods, though with increased computational cost. It also examines the effect of the LMS convergence coefficient μ on sidelobe levels, finding an optimal μ value that minimizes sidelobes for each approximation method.
Heuristic based adaptive step size clms algorithms for smart antennas
This document summarizes research on heuristic-based adaptive step size complex least mean square (CLMS) algorithms for smart antennas. It presents Benveniste and Mathews algorithms, which use heuristics with CLMS to speed up convergence. Simulations show these algorithms outperform CLMS and augmented CLMS in convergence rate while achieving similar performance in terms of half power beamwidth and side lobe level of the array factor. The key advantage of these algorithms is faster convergence for the output signal of smart antenna systems compared to baseline algorithms like CLMS.
HEURISTIC BASED ADAPTIVE STEP SIZE CLMS ALGORITHMS FOR SMART ANTENNAS
A smart antenna system combines multiple antenna elements with a signal processing capability to optimize its radiation and/or reception pattern automatically in response to the signal environment through complex weight selection. The weight selection process to get suitable Array factor with low Half Power Beam Width (HPBW) and Side Lobe Level (SLL) is a complex method. The aim of this task is to design a
new approach for smart antennas to minimize the noise and interference effects from external sources with least number of iterations. This paper presents Heuristics based adaptive step size Complex Least Mean Square (CLMS) model for Smart Antennas to speedup convergence. In this process Benveniste and Mathews algorithms are used as heuristics with CLMS and the improvement of performance of Smart Antenna System in terms of convergence rate and arr ay factor are discussed and compared with the performance of CLMS and Augmented CLMS (ACLMS) algorithms.

available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

- 3. Impact of Weighting SAR imagery based on conventional Fourier transform (FT) techniques often requires sidelobe control for the high sidelobes. It has traditionally been accomplished by using window functions such as Taylor, Hanning, Hamming, etc. However, the lower sidelobes have been achieved at the expense of broadening the mainlobe width, i.e. it degrades the image resolution. -80 -60 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 -80 -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 dB Rect Hamming Hanning Blackman
- 18. Results and Analysis (a) RD Method (b) The Paper’s Method Figures show the result of SIR-C data using different methods. The data is obtained in 1994 of some city in Taiwan, which data process number is 51581. Compared the two figures, we can see the river edge is clearer in (b). From the middle white circle, the targets docked at the land can be distinguished easily in (b). So the resolution can be enhanced obviously and sidelobes can also be suppressed very well.
