A tool for discovery of gait anomalies of elderly from motion sensor data is proposed. The gait of the user is captured with the motion capture system, which consists of tags attached to the body and sensors situated in the apartment. Position of the tags is acquired by the sensors and the resulting time series of position coordinates are analyzed with dynamic time warping and machine learning algorithms...
This paper proposes to introduce Lanczos interpolation filters as wavelet atoms in an optimized decomposition for embedded lossy to lossless compression of biomedical images. The decomposition and the Lanczos parameter are jointly optimized in a generic packet structure in order to take into account the various contents of biomedical imaging modalities. Lossless experimental results are given on a...
The application of Missing Data Technique (MDT) has shown to improve the performance of speech recognition. To apply MDT to cepstral domain, this paper presents a weighted approach to compute the reliability of cepstral feature based on sigmoid function and introduces a weighted distance algorithm. It is deduced that the reliability compensates the Gaussian variance in hidden Markov model (HMM) frame...
At present, most of the studies on the relationship between El Nino Southern Oscillation and agricultural futures focus on perceptual and directly data analysis. This article uses EMD algorithm on endpoints processed data to decompose wheat futures price into seven Intrinsic Mode Function and one Residue. Then do symbolic clustering combined with SSVS method and denoised ENSO index. The results not...
IDS (Intrusion Detection system) is an active and driving defense technology. This paper mainly focuses on intrusion detection based on data mining. The aim is to improve the detection rate and decrease the false alarm rate, and the main research method is clustering analysis. The algorithm and model of ID are proposed and corresponding simulation experiments are presented. Firstly, a method to reduce...
Performance of a distributed video coding system depends, to a large extent, on the accuracy of joint source and side information distribution modeling. In this work we first examine a family of stationary joint distribution models. As one of our findings, we propose to use the double-Gamma model as an alternative to the widely adopted Laplace model, due to its superior performance. In addition, we...
It has been proven that spatial audio enhances the realism of sound for teleconferencing. Previously, solutions have been proposed for multiparty conferencing where each remote participant is assumed to have his/her own microphone, and for conferencing between two rooms where the microphones in one room are connected to the equal number of loudspeakers in the other room. Either approach has its limitations...
This paper describes a method for chord recognition from audio signals. Our method provides a coherent and relevant probabilistic framework for template-based transcription. The only information needed for the transcription is the definition of the chords : in particular neither annotated audio data nor music theory knowledge is required. We extract from the signal a succession of chroma vectors which...
Cyclostationary detection is regarded as a major method for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio and other applications as well. The rationale behind the detection is that the second order statistic of the interested signal is periodical. The period is therefore used as the critical feature for detection. In practice, due to clock error or oscillator error or other errors, the detector is hardly able...
Within the ICT OMEGA project, a thorough study of the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues linked to Power Line Communications (PLC) has been conducted. In this paper, we present our investigations carried out in the context of a frequency bandwidth extension of PLC systems up to 100 MHz. The current status of EMC regulations for PLC is first recalled. An experimental study is then presented...
Multihop and multipoint transmissions are two of the main features towards an increased spectral efficiency for the LTE-Advanced mobile radio system. Fixed wireless relays with in-band backhauling are considered as a multihop technique in LTE-Advanced. Relays improve cell capacity and cell edge user performance depending on the deployment. In this paper, at first, results for the peak spectral efficiency...
Cooperative localization algorithms have been recently introduced to overcome the limitations of systems relying on GPS or other terrestrial infrastructure. The novel hybrid cooperative unscented Kalman filter (hcUKF) approach, which fuses ranging data from both satellites and terrestrial receivers, allows increased availability, robustness and accuracy compared to GNSS-only localization in challenged...
We propose a simple yet effective non-line-of-sight (NLOS) mitigation method that is incorporated into our earlier-developed iterative parallel projection method (IPPM) for collaborative position location. The proposed method handles NLOS range estimates based on the available a priori knowledge about NLOS condition and is demonstrated to significantly improve the localization accuracy in NLOS-dense...
The problem of positioning a target node is studied for wireless sensor networks with cooperative active and passive sensors. Two-way time-of-arrival and time-difference-of-arrival measurements made by both active and passive nodes are used to estimate the position of the target node. A maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) can be employed to solve the problem. Due to the nonlinear nature of the cost...
This paper proposes a novel interference cancellation algorithm for the two-path succussive relay system using network coding. The two-path succussive relay scheme was proposed recently to achieve full date rate transmission with half-duplex relays. Due to the simultaneous data transmission at the relay and source nodes, the two-path relay suffers from the so-called inter-relay interference (IRI)...
In this paper, the bearing-only target localization problem when the observer positions are subject to error is investigated. In this problem, the angle of arrival of the transmitted signal between target and observer are used to estimate the target position. It is assumed that not only the bearing measurements are corrupted by noise but also the exact position of observer is not available to the...
In wireless sensor networks where nodes are powered by batteries, it is critical to prolong the network lifetime by minimizing the energy consumption of each node. In this paper, the cooperative multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) and data aggregation techniques are jointly adopted to improve energy efficiency in a cluster based wireless sensor network. Using the energy model derived, the average energy...
Cognitive radios (CRs) receive several users simultaneously. Therefore, the ADC of an CR requires a large dynamic range (DR) to guarantee adequate resolution per user. Thus far the ADC DR requirements have been prohibitive for the wide spread introduction of CR in the hand held market. The power consumption of an ADC reduces with an order of magnitude per decade. In the absence of disruptive new technologies,...
Spectrum sensing is one of the most important tasks of cognitive radios (CRs) in future wireless systems and of user equipments (UEs) in next generation wireless networks (NGWNs). Therefore, deciding whether a specific portion of radio frequency (RF) spectrum is occupied or not is of paramount importance for all sorts of future wireless communications systems. In this study, a spectrum sensing method...
IEEE 802.22 is the first worldwide Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN) standard based on cognitive radios (CR). In IEEE 802.22 WRAN, if a wireless microphone appears in any TV channel, the whole channel should be cleaned. 802.22 WRAN devices probably need to fractionally use the first adjacent channel for improving spectrum efficiency while ensuring no harmful interference is caused to the wireless...
