A Novel UWB Signal Sampling Method for Localization based on Compressive Sensing

Ultra-wide-band (UWB) signals are suitable for localization, since their high time resolution can provide precise time of arrival (TOA) estimation. However, one major challenge in UWB signal processing is the requirement of high sampling rate which leads to complicated signal processing and expensive hardware. In this paper, we present a novel UWB signal sampling method called UWB signal sampling via temporal sparsity (USSTS). Its sampling rate is much lower than Nyquist rate. Moreover, it is implemented in one step and no extra processing unit is needed. Simulation results show that USSTS can not recover the signal precisely, but for the use in localization, the accuracy of TOA estimation is the same as that in traditional methods. Therefore, USSTS gives a novel and effective solution for the use of UWB signals in localization.

Modified MUSIC estimation for correlated signals with compressive sampling arrays

This paper addresses the issue of the direction of arrival （DOA） estimation under the compressive sampling （CS） framework. A novel approach, modified multiple signal classification （MMUSIC） based on the CS array （CSA-MMUSIC）, is proposed to resolve the DOA estimation of correlated signals and two closely adjacent signals. By using two random CS matrices, a large size array is compressed into a small size array, which effectively reduces the number of the front end circuit. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach has the advantages of low computational complexity and hardware structure compared to other MMUSIC approaches. Simulation results show that CSAMMUSIC can possess similar angular resolution as MMUSIC.

Moving object detection in framework of compressive sampling

Compressive sensing is a revolutionary idea proposed recently to achieve much lower sampling rate for signals.In the image application with limited resources the camera data can be stored and processed in compressed form.An algorithm for moving object and region detection in video using a compressive sampling is developed.The algorithm estimates motion information of the moving object and regions in the video from the compressive measurements of the current image and background scene.The algorithm does not perform inverse compressive operation to obtain the actual pixels of the current image nor the estimated background.This leads to a computationally efficient method and a system compared with the existing motion estimation methods.The experimental results show that the sampling rate can reduce to 25% without sacrificing performance.

A METHOD OF IMAGE QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR COMPRESSIVE SAMPLING VIDEO TRANSMISSION

Based on compressive sampling transmission model, we demonstrate here a method of quality evaluation for the reconstruction images, which is promising for the transmission of unstructured signal with reduced dimension. By this method, the auxiliary information of the recovery image quality is obtained as a feedback to control number of measurements from compressive sampling video stream. Therefore, the number of measurements can be easily derived at the condition of the absence of information sparsity, and the recovery image quality is effectively improved. Theoretical and experimental results show that this algorithm can estimate the quality of images effectively and is in well consistency with the traditional objective evaluation algorithm.

Cramer-Rao bounds for the joint delay-Doppler estimation of compressive sampling pulse-Doppler radar

Time-delay and Doppler shift estimation is a basic task for pulse-Doppler radar processing. For low-rate sampling of echo signals, several kinds of compressive sampling(CS) pulse-Doppler(CSPD) radar are developed with different analog-to-information conversion(AIC) systems. However, a unified metric is absent to evaluate their parameter estimation performance. Towards this end, this paper derives the deterministic Cramer-Rao bound(CRB)for the joint delay-Doppler estimation of CSPD radar to quantitatively analyze the estimate performance. Theoretical results reveal that the CRBs of both time-delays and Doppler shifts are inversely proportional to the received target signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), the number of transmitted pulses and the sampling rate of AIC systems. The main difference is that the CRB of Doppler shifts also lies on the coherent processing interval. Numerical experiments validate these theoretical results. They also show that the structure of the AIC systems has weak influence on the CRBs, which implies that the AIC structures can be flexibly selected for the implementation of CSPD radar.

Compressive sampling and reconstruction in shift-invariant spaces associated with the fractional Gabor transform

In this paper,we propose a compressive sampling and reconstruction system based on the shift-invariant space associated with the fractional Gabor transform.With this system,we aim to achieve the subNyquist sampling and accurate reconstruction for chirp-like signals containing time-varying characteristics.Under the proposed scheme,we introduce the fractional Gabor transform to make a stable expansion for signals in the joint time-fractional-frequency domain.Then the compressive sampling and reconstruction system is constructed under the compressive sensing and shift-invariant space theory.We establish the reconstruction model and propose a block multiple response extension of sparse Bayesian learning algorithm to improve the reconstruction effect.The reconstruction error for the proposed system is analyzed.We show that,with considerations of noises and mismatches,the total error is bounded.The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by numerical experiments.It is shown that our proposed system outperforms the other systems state-of-the-art.

Dynamic Global-Principal Component Analysis Sparse Representation for Distributed Compressive Video Sampling

Video reconstruction quality largely depends on the ability of employed sparse domain to adequately represent the underlying video in Distributed Compressed Video Sensing (DCVS). In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic global-Principal Component Analysis (PCA) sparse representation algorithm for video based on the sparse-land model and nonlocal similarity. First, grouping by matching is realized at the decoder from key frames that are previously recovered. Second, we apply PCA to each group (sub-dataset) to compute the principle components from which the sub-dictionary is constructed. Finally, the non-key frames are reconstructed from random measurement data using a Compressed Sensing (CS) reconstruction algorithm with sparse regularization. Experimental results show that our algorithm has a better performance compared with the DCT and K-SVD dictionaries.

Discrete-time Markov-based dynamic control approach for compressed sampling

To solve the problem that the signal sparsity level is time-varying and not known as a priori in most cases,a signal sparsity level prediction and optimal sampling rate determination scheme is proposed.The discrete-time Markov chain is used to model the signal sparsity level and analyze the transition between different states.According to the current state,the signal sparsity level state in the next sampling period and its probability are predicted.Furthermore,based on the prediction results,a dynamic control approach is proposed to find out the optimal sampling rate with the aim of maximizing the expected reward which considers both the energy consumption and the recovery accuracy.The proposed approach can balance the tradeoff between the energy consumption and the recovery accuracy.Simulation results show that the proposed dynamic control approach can significantly improve the sampling performance compared with the existing approach.

Wideband Signal Detection Based on MWC Discrete Compressed Sampling Structure

In order to solve the cross-channel signal problem caused by the uniform channelized wideband digital receiver when processing wideband signal and the problem that the sensitivity of the system greatly decreases when the bandwidth of wideband digital receiver increases,which both decrease the wideband radar signal detection performance,a new wideband digital receiver based on the modulated wideband converter(MWC)discrete compressed sampling structure and an energy detection method based on the new receiver are proposed.Firstly,the proposed receiver utilizes periodic pseudo-random sequences to mix wideband signals with baseband and other sub-bands.Then the mixed signals are low-pass filtered and downsampled to obtain the baseband compressed sampling data,which can increase the sensitivity of the system.Meanwhile,the cross-channel signal will all appear in any subbands,so the cross-channel signal problem can be solved easily by processing the baseband compressed sampling data.Secondly,we establish the signal detection model and formulate the criterion of the energy detection method.And we directly utilize the baseband compressed sampling data to carry out signal detection without signal reconstruction,which decreases the complexity of the algorithm and reduces the computational burden.Finally,simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver and show that the proposed signal detection method is effective in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)compared with the conventional energy detection and the probability of detection increases significantly when SNR increases.

A compressive near-field millimeter wave(MMW)imaging algorithm is proposed.From the compressed sensing(CS)theory,the compressive near-field MMW imaging process can be considered to reconstruct an image from the under-sampled sparse data.The Gini index(GI)has been founded that it is the only sparsity measure that has all sparsity attributes that are called Robin Hood,Scaling,Rising Tide,Cloning,Bill Gates,and Babies.By combining the total variation(TV)operator,the GI-TV mixed regularization introduced compressive near-field MMW imaging model is proposed.In addition,the corresponding algorithm based on a primal-dual framework is also proposed.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed GI-TV mixed regularization algorithm has superior convergence and stability performance compared with the widely used l1-TV mixed regularization algorithm.

High Performance Compressed Sampling for OFDM-UWB Systems

In order to solve the problem of high-speed sampling in OFDM based ultra wide band(UWB) systems, this paper first gives analysis on the applicability of existing compressed sampling methods. Then, on the basis of an established segmented observation model, it presents an optimized parallel segmented compressed sampling(OPSCS) scheme based on Hadamard matrix. The orthogonal Hadamard matrix is adopted to construct the segmented measurement matrix with any dimensions, thus orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal multiplex observation sequences are obtained, and the restricted isometry property is improved. The optimized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is also used for the known sparsity avoiding iterative operation. Researches show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the sampling rate in OFDM-UWB systems, and also has a good ability of noise resisting that it achieves a high system performance better than the existing schemes of compressed sampling and even Nyquist rate sampling.

Face hallucination via compressive sensing

Face hallucination or super-resolution is an inverse problem which is underdetermined,and the compressive sensing(CS)theory provides an effective way of seeking inverse problem solutions.In this paper,a novel compressive sensing based face hallucination method is presented,which is comprised of three steps:dictionary learning、sparse coding and solving maximum a posteriori(MAP)formulation.In the first step,the K-SVD dictionary learning algorithm is adopted to obtain a dictionary which can sparsely represent high resolution(HR)face image patches.In the second step,we seek the sparsest representation for each low-resolution(LR)face image paches input using the learned dictionary,super resolution image blocks are obtained from the sparsest coefficients and dictionaries,which then are assembled into super-resolution(SR)image.Finally,MAP formulation is introduced to satisfy the consistency restrictive condition and obtain the higher quality HR images.The experimental results demonstrate that our approach can achieve better super-resolution faces compared with other state-of-the-art method.

Digital broadcast channel estimation with compressive sensing

In order to reduce the pilot number and improve spectral efficiency, recently emerged compressive sensing （CS） is applied to the digital broadcast channel estimation. According to the six channel profiles of the European Telecommunication Standards Institute（ETSI） digital radio mondiale （DRM） standard, the subspace pursuit （SP） algorithm is employed for delay spread and attenuation estimation of each path in the case where the channel profile is identified and the multipath number is known. The stop condition for SP is that the sparsity of the estimation equals the multipath number. For the case where the multipath number is unknown, the orthogonal matching pursuit （OMP） algorithm is employed for channel estimation, while the stop condition is that the estimation achieves the noise variance. Simulation results show that with the same number of pilots, CS algorithms outperform the traditional cubic-spline-interpolation-based least squares （LS） channel estimation. SP is also demonstrated to be better than OMP when the multipath number is known as a priori.

Compressed Least Squares Algorithm of Continuous-Time Linear Stochastic Regression Model Using Sampling Data

In this paper,the authors consider a sparse parameter estimation problem in continuoustime linear stochastic regression models using sampling data.Based on the compressed sensing(CS)method,the authors propose a compressed least squares(LS) algorithm to deal with the challenges of parameter sparsity.At each sampling time instant,the proposed compressed LS algorithm first compresses the original high-dimensional regressor using a sensing matrix and obtains a low-dimensional LS estimate for the compressed unknown parameter.Then,the original high-dimensional sparse unknown parameter is recovered by a reconstruction method.By introducing a compressed excitation assumption and employing stochastic Lyapunov function and martingale estimate methods,the authors establish the performance analysis of the compressed LS algorithm under the condition on the sampling time interval without using independence or stationarity conditions on the system signals.At last,a simulation example is provided to verify the theoretical results by comparing the standard and the compressed LS algorithms for estimating a high-dimensional sparse unknown parameter.

Effect of Sample Disturbance on Unconfined Compression Strength of Natural Marine Clays

Quantitatively correcting the unconfined compressive strength for sample disturbance is an important research project in the practice of ocean engineering and geotechnical engineering. In this study, the specimens of undisturbed natural marine clay obtained from the same depth at the same site were deliberately disturbed to different levels. Then, the specimens with different extents of sample disturbance were trimmed for both oedometer tests and unconfined compression tests. The degree of sample disturbance SD is obtained from the oedometer test data. The relationship between the unconfined compressive strength q u and SD is studied for investigating the effect of sample disturbance on q u. It is found that the value of q u decreases linearly with the increase in SD. Then, a simple method of correcting q u for sample disturbance is proposed. Its validity is also verified through analysis of the existing published data.

The deformation and failure of coal and rock is energy-driving results according to thermodynamics.It is important to study the strain energy characteristics of coal-rock composite samples to better understand the deformation and failure mechanism of of coal-rock composite structures.In this research,laboratory tests and numerical simulation of uniaxial compressions of coal-rock composite samples were carried out with five different loading rates.The test results show that strength,deformation,acoustic emission(AE)and energy evolution of coal-rock composite sample all have obvious loading rate effects.The uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus increase with the increase of loading rate.And with the increase of loading rate,the AE energy at the peak strength of coal-rock composites increases first,then decreases,and then increases.With the increase of loading rate,the AE cumulative count first decreases and then increases.And the total absorption energy and dissipation energy of coal-rock composite samples show non-linear increasing trends,while release elastic strain energy increases first and then decreases.The laboratory experiments conducted on coal-rock composite samples were simulated numerically using the particle flow code(PFC).With careful selection of suitable material constitutive models for coal and rock,and accurate estimation and calibration of mechanical parameters of coal-rock composite sample,it was possible to obtain a good agreement between the laboratory experimental and numerical results.This research can provide references for understanding failure of underground coalrock composite structure by using energy related measuring methods.
