Specifically, both the spectrum density and different regions of the enhanced spectrum are analyzed. Experimental results show that for a spectrum of some density, the joint time-frequency gain-modification based speech enhancement algorithm achieves significant improvement in intelligibility. Additionally, the spectrum region where the estimated spectrum is smaller than the clean spectrum, is the most important region contributing to intelligibility improvement for the enhanced whisper. The spectrum region where the estimated spectrum is larger than twice the size of the clean spectrum is detrimental to speech intelligibility perception within the whisper context.展开更多

From the frequency representation of the "overlap and save", a Weighted General Discrete Fourier Transform (WGDFT) is derived to replace the traditional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The mixing matrix on each frequency bin could be estimated more precisely from WGDFT coefficients than from DFT coefficients, which improves separation performance. Simulation results verify the validity of WGDFT for frequency domain blind source separation of convolutive mixtures.展开更多

The background model kept a sample of intensity values for each pixel in the image and used this sample to estimate the probability density function of the pixel intensity. The density function was estimated using a new Marr wavelet kernel density estimation technique. Since this approach was quite general, the model could approximate any distribution for the pixel intensity without any assumptions about the underlying distribution shape. The background and current frame were transformed in the binary discrete wavelet domain, and background subtraction was performed in each sub-band. After obtaining the foreground, shadow was eliminated by an edge detection method. Experimental results show that the proposed method produces good results with much lower computational complexity and effectively extracts the moving objects with accuracy ratio higher than 90%, indicating that the proposed method is an effective algorithm for intelligent transportation system.展开更多

This scheme avoids the problem of choosing the sampling frequency in the spatial domain, or the sampling frequency must be determined when the window data is obtained by means of sampling the Gabor function, the impulse response of the Gabor filter. In this scheme, the discrete Fourier transform of the Gabor function is obtained by discretizing its Fourier transform. The window data can be derived by minimizing the sums of the squares of the complex magnitudes of difference between its discrete Fourier transform and the Gabor function's discrete Fourier transform. Not only the full description of this scheme but also its application to fabric defect detection are given in this paper. Experimental results show that the 1-D convolution windows can be used to significantly reduce computational cost and greatly ensure the quality of the Gabor filters. So this scheme can be used in some real-time processing systems.展开更多

Based on the property, an audio steganalysis of DSSS based on statistical moments of histogram is proposed. The statistical moments of the histogram in DCT domain and its frequency domain and the statistical moments of the histogram of the wavelet coefficients of every level in frequency domain are calculated as the features of classification. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is exploited as the classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is effective on the DSSS embedding in DCT domain using different embedding length, and the average detection rate is 91.75%.展开更多

The proposed algorithm is based on capacitance calculation from transient impedance and dominant transient frequency. The Discrete Fourier Transform （DFT） method is used to determine the dominant transient frequency. The values of voltage and current earth modes are calculated in the period of the dominant transient frequency, then the transient impedance can be determined, from which we can calculate the earth capacitance. The calculated capacitance gives an indication about if the feeder is faulted or not. The algorithm is less dependent on the fault resistance and the faulted feeder parameters; it mainly depends on the background network. The network is simulated by ATP/EMTP program. Several different fault conditions are covered in the simulation process, different fault inception angles, fault locations and fault resistances.展开更多

The RWE provides quantitatively the information about the relative energy associated with different frequency bands present in the EEG. The SWE carries information about the degree of order or disorder associated with different time segment of EEG evolution, which can determine the time-segment loealizations of abnormal dynamic processes of brain activity due to the localization characteristics of the wavelet transform. The experimental results show that the RWE and SWE are different between epileptic EEGs and normal EEGs, which demonstrate that the RWE and the SWE are helpful to analyze the dynamic behavior of different EEGs.展开更多

This filter passes the frequency component at 2π/3 along with its conjugate. This conjugate frequency compo- nent may degrade the identification accuracy. To improve the identification accuracy, two types of multistage filters are proposed in this paper. A complex narrowband bandpass filter （CNBPF） is proposed for suppressing the conjugate frequency component which, in turn, reduces the background noise present in the deoxyribonucleic acid （DNA） spec- trum and improves identification accuracy. By cascading RNBPF with moving average filter （RNBPFMA）, another type of multistage filter is proposed. As moving average filter smooth out the rapid variations in the DNA spectrum, RNBPFMA improves the identification accuracy. The computational complexity of RNBPFMA is less than that of CNBPF. The RNBPF and proposed multistage filters are compared with previously reported short-time discrete Fourier transform （ST-DFT） method in terms of compu- tational complexity. It is found that multistage filters reduce the computational load to a greater extent compared to ST-DFT method. The identification accuracy of the proposed CNBPF and RNBPFMA methods is compared with existing anti-notch filter and RNBPF methods. The results show that proposed methods outperform existing methods in terms of identification accuracy for benchmark data sets.展开更多
