An improved non-uniform fast Fourier transform method for radio imaging of coronal mass ejections

Radioheliographs can obtain solar images at high temporal and spatial resolution,with a high dynamic range.These are among the most important instruments for studying solar radio bursts,understanding solar eruption events,and conducting space weather forecasting.This study aims to explore the effective use of radioheliographs for solar observations,specifically for imaging coronal mass ejections(CME),to track their evolution and provide space weather warnings.We have developed an imaging simulation program based on the principle of aperture synthesis imaging,covering the entire data processing flow from antenna configuration to dirty map generation.For grid processing,we propose an improved non-uniform fast Fourier transform(NUFFT)method to provide superior image quality.Using simulated imaging of radio coronal mass ejections,we provide practical recommendations for the performance of radioheliographs.This study provides important support for the validation and calibration of radioheliograph data processing,and is expected to profoundly enhance our understanding of solar activities.

A fast acquisition method of DSSS signals using differential decoding and fast Fourier transform

In low earth orbit (LEO) satellite or missile communication scenarios, signals may experience extremely large Doppler shifts and have short visual time. Thus, direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) systems should be able to achieve acquisition in a very short time in spite of large Doppler frequencies. However, the traditional methods cannot solve it well. This work describes a new method that uses a differential decoding technique for Doppler mitigation and a batch process of FFT (fast Fourier transform) and IFFT (invert FFT) for the purpose of parallel code phase search by frequency domain correlation. After the code phase is estimated, another FFT process is carried out to search the Doppler frequency. Since both code phase and Doppler frequency domains are searched in parallel, this architecture can provide acquisition fifty times faster than conventional FFT methods. The performance in terms of the probability of detection and false alarm are also analyzed and simulated, showing that a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss of 3 dB is introduced by the differential decoding. The proposed method is an efficient way to shorten the acquisition time with slightly hardware increasing.

Combining Cubic Spline Interpolation and Fast Fourier Transform to Extend Measuring Range of Reflectometry

The reflectometry is a common method used to measure the thickness of thin films. Using a conventional method,its measurable range is limited due to the low resolution of the current spectrometer embedded in the reflectometer.We present a simple method, using cubic spline interpolation to resample the spectrum with a high resolution,to extend the measurable transparent film thickness. A large measuring range up to 385 m in optical thickness is achieved with the commonly used system. The numerical calculation and experimental results demonstrate that using the FFT method combined with cubic spline interpolation resampling in reflectrometry, a simple,easy-to-operate, economic measuring system can be achieved with high measuring accuracy and replicability.

Cardiac Arrhythmias shows a condition of abnor-mal electrical activity in the heart which is a threat to humans. This paper presents a method to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, extract the fea-tures, for the classification of heart beats according to different arrhythmias. Data were obtained from 40 records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (only one lead). Cardiac arrhythmias which are found are Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Incomplete Bundle Branch Block, Bundle Branch Block, Ventricular Tachycardia. A learning dataset for the neural network was obtained from a twenty records set which were manually classified using MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database Directory and docu- mentation, taking advantage of the professional experience of a cardiologist. Fast Fourier transforms are used to identify the peaks in the ECG signal and then Neural Networks are applied to identify the diseases. Levenberg Marquardt Back-Propagation algorithm is used to train the network. The results obtained have better efficiency then the previously proposed methods.

Comparison of computation time for estimation of dominant frequency of atrial electrograms: Fast fourier transform, blackman tukey, autoregressive and multiple signal classification

Dominant frequency (DF) of electrophysiological data is an effective approach to estimate the activation rate during Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and it is important to understand the pathophysiology of AF and to help select candidate sites for ablation. Frequency analysis is used to find and track DF. It is important to minimize the catheter insertion time in the atria as it contributes to the risk for the patients during this procedure, so DF estimation needs to be obtained as quickly as possible. A comparison of computation tim- es taken for spectrum estimation analysis is presented in this paper. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Blackman-Tukey (BT), Autoregressive (AR) and Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) methods are used to obtain the frequency spectrum of the signals. The time to produce DF was measured for each method. The method which takes the shortest time for analysis is selected for real time application purpose.

Fast Fourier Transform of Multi-Assets Options under Economic Recession Induced Uncertainties

A Fast Fourier transform approach has been presented by Carr & Madan (2009) on a single underlying asset. In this current research paper, we present fast Fourier transform algorithm for the valuation of Multi-asset Options under Economic Recession Induced Uncertainties. The issue of multi-dimension in both finite and infinite case of Options is part of the focus of this research. The notion of economic recession was incorporated. An intuition behind the introduction of recession induced volatility uncertainty is revealed by huge volatility variation during the period of economic recession compared to the period of recession-free. Nigeria economic recession outbreak in 2016 and its effects on the uncertainty of the payoffs of Nigeria Stocks Exchange (NSE) among other investments was among the motivating factors for proposing economic recession induced volatility in options pricing. The application of the proposed Fast Fourier Transform algorithm in handling multi-assets options was shown. A new result on options pricing was achieved and capable of yielding efficient option prices during and out of recession. Numerical results were presented on assets in 3-dimensions as an illustration taking Black Scholes prices as a bench mark for method effectiveness comparison. The key findings of this research paper among other crucial contributions could be seen in computational procedure of options valuation in multi-dimensions and uncertainties in options payoffs under the exposure of economic recession.

Weak signal extraction of micro-motor rotor unbalance based on all-phase fast Fourier transform

To improve the dynamic balancing accuracy of the micro-motor rotor,an unbalanced vibration feature extraction based on an all-phase fast Fourier transform(APFFT)method is proposed.The amplitude and phase of the signal are extracted by spectrum analysis after windowing the unbalanced signal.The mathematical model is derived to simulate the weak signal of rotor unbalance.The simulation results show that this method is accurate in extracting the weak signal of the rotor under different noise levels.The micro-motor rotor unbalanced test system is developed for experimental validations.The accuracy and stability of the vibration amplitude and phase extracted by the APFFT are better than the accuracy and stability from the hardware filtering method.The rotor unbalance is reduced by more than 80%.Furthermore,secondary balance of the rotor after the first balance is carried out.The proposed method can still extract the residual unbalance of the rotor.The results demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve a reduction rate of 90%and the accuracy is within 5mg,verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method for high-precision rotor dynamic balance.

A Deepfake Detection Algorithm Based on Fourier Transform of Biological Signal

Deepfake-generated fake faces,commonly utilized in identity-related activities such as political propaganda,celebrity impersonations,evidence forgery,and familiar fraud,pose new societal threats.Although current deepfake generators strive for high realism in visual effects,they do not replicate biometric signals indicative of cardiac activity.Addressing this gap,many researchers have developed detection methods focusing on biometric characteristics.These methods utilize classification networks to analyze both temporal and spectral domain features of the remote photoplethysmography(rPPG)signal,resulting in high detection accuracy.However,in the spectral analysis,existing approaches often only consider the power spectral density and neglect the amplitude spectrum—both crucial for assessing cardiac activity.We introduce a novel method that extracts rPPG signals from multiple regions of interest through remote photoplethysmography and processes them using Fast Fourier Transform(FFT).The resultant time-frequency domain signal samples are organized into matrices to create Matrix Visualization Heatmaps(MVHM),which are then utilized to train an image classification network.Additionally,we explored various combinations of time-frequency domain representations of rPPG signals and the impact of attention mechanisms.Our experimental results show that our algorithm achieves a remarkable detection accuracy of 99.22%in identifying fake videos,significantly outperforming mainstream algorithms and demonstrating the effectiveness of Fourier Transform and attention mechanisms in detecting fake faces.

Performance of Continuous Wavelet Transform over Fourier Transform in Features Resolutions

This study presents a comparative analysis of two image enhancement techniques, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), in the context of improving the clarity of high-quality 3D seismic data obtained from the Tano Basin in West Africa, Ghana. The research focuses on a comparative analysis of image clarity in seismic attribute analysis to facilitate the identification of reservoir features within the subsurface structures. The findings of the study indicate that CWT has a significant advantage over FFT in terms of image quality and identifying subsurface structures. The results demonstrate the superior performance of CWT in providing a better representation, making it more effective for seismic attribute analysis. The study highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate image enhancement technique based on the specific application needs and the broader context of the study. While CWT provides high-quality images and superior performance in identifying subsurface structures, the selection between these methods should be made judiciously, taking into account the objectives of the study and the characteristics of the signals being analyzed. The research provides valuable insights into the decision-making process for selecting image enhancement techniques in seismic data analysis, helping researchers and practitioners make informed choices that cater to the unique requirements of their studies. Ultimately, this study contributes to the advancement of the field of subsurface imaging and geological feature identification.

Identification of faults through wavelet transform vis-a-vis fast Fourier transform of noisy vibration signals emanated from defective rolling element bearings

Fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings requires efficient signal processing techniques. For this purpose, the performances of envelope detection with fast Fourier transform （FFT） and continuous wavelet transform （CWT） of vibration signals produced from a bearing with defects on inner race and rolling element, have been examined at low signal to noise ratio. Both simulated and experimental signals from identical bearings have been considered for the purpose of analysis. The bearings have been modeled as spring-mass-dashpot systems and the simulated signals have been obtained considering transfer functions for the bearing systems subjected to impulsive loads due to the defects. Frequency B spline wavelets have been applied for CWT and a discussion on wavelet selection has been presented for better effectiveness. Results show that use of CWT with the proposed wavelets overcomes the short coming of FFT while processing a noisy vibration signals for defect detection of bearings.

A high performance fast-Fourier-transform spectrum analyzer for measuring spin noise spectrums

A high performance fast-Fourier-transform (FFT) spectrum analyzer, which is developed for measure spin noise spectrums, is presented in this paper. The analyzer is implemented with a field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) chip for data and command management. An analog-to-digital-convertor chip is integrated for analog signal acquisition. In order to meet the various requirements of measuring different types of spin noise spectrums, multiple operating modes are designed and realized using the reprogrammable FPGA logic resources. The FFT function is fully managed by the programmable resource inside the FPGA chip. A 1 GSa/s sampling rate and a 100 percent data coverage ratio with non-dead-time are obtained. 30534 FFT spectrums can be acquired per second, and the spectrums can be on-board accumulated and averaged. Digital filters, multi-stage reconfigurable data reconstruction modules, and frequency down conversion modules are also implemented in the FPGA to provide flexible real-time data processing capacity, thus the noise floor and signals aliasing can be suppressed effectively. An efficiency comparison between the FPGA-based FFT spectrum analyzer and the software-based FFT is demonstrated, and the high performance FFT spectrum analyzer has a significant advantage in obtaining high resolution spin noise spectrums with enhanced efficiency.

High-Resolution 3-D Radar Imaging through Nonuniform Fast Fourier Transform(NUFFT)

This paper applies a 3-D nonuniform fast Fourier transform(NUFFT)migration method to image both free-space and buried targets from data collected by a ultra-wideband ground penetrating radar(GPR)system.The method incorporates the NUFFT algorithm into 3-D phase shift migration to evaluate the inverse Fourier transform more accurately and more efficiently than the conventional migration methods.Previously,the nonuniform nature of the wavenumber space required linear interpolation before the regular fast Fourier transform(FFT)could be applied.However,linear interpolation usually degrades the quality of reconstructed images.The NUFFT method mitigates such errors by using high-order spatial-varying kernels.The NUFFT migration method is utilized to reconstruct GPR images collected in laboratory.A plywood sheet in free space and a buried plexiglas chamber are successfully reconstructed.The results in 3-D visualization demonstrate the outstanding performance of the method to retrieve the geometry of the objects.Several buried landmines are also scanned and reconstructed using this method.Since the images resolve the features of the objects well,they can be utilized to assist the landmine discrimination.

Modified fast Fourier transform in FBMC for satellite communications

In this paper,a Doppler scaling fast Fourier transform（Doppler-FFT）algorithm for filter bank multi-carrier（FBMC）is proposed,which can efficiently eliminate the impact of the Doppler scaling in satellite communications.By introducing a Doppler scaling factor into the butterfly structure of the fast Fourier transform（FFT）algorithm,the proposed algorithm eliminates the differences between the Doppler shifts of the received subcarriers,and maintains the same order of computational complexity compared to that of the traditional FFT.In the process of using the new method,the Doppler scaling should be estimated by calculating the orbital data in advance.Thus,the inter-symbol interference（ISI）and the inter-carrier interference（ICI）can be completely eliminated,and the signal to interference and noise ratio（SINR）will not be affected.Simulation results also show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a 0.4 d B performance gain compared to the frequency domain equalization（FDE）algorithm in satellite communications.

Fast Fourier Transform:A Niche,but Critical Strategy in Optimizing Impression Evidence

The evolution from film to digital as the recording medium for forensic imaging has extended the reach of forensic photographers,both in original capture and postphotography processing.Images of fingermarks and footwear impressions are routinely obstructed by substrates displaying intrusive color and pattern.Such backgrounds are frequently sufficiently intrusive as to prevent the analysis and comparison of the images to known exemplars.Digital techniques such as Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)in postphotography processing can optimize the signal-to-noise ratio to a greater degree than was ever possible when film was the recording standard.Occasionally,unwanted backgrounds can be removed or diminished in Photoshop with techniques such as background subtraction and channel blending.These strategies,however,are dependent on either physical removal of the evidence impression to obtain a second image of the obstructive pattern or on differences in color between the impression and the offending substrate.FFT is unique in its ability to optimize the image signal to noise ratio by suppressing the obstructive background,in that it is not reliant on color,and is not applied in the spatial domain.

A sapphire fibre thermal probe based on fast Fourier transform and phase-lock loop

A sapphire fibre thermal probe with Cr^3＋ ion-doped end is developed by using the laser heated pedestal growth method. The fluorescence thermal probe offers advantages of compact structure, high performance and ability to withstand high temperature in a detection range from room temperature to 450℃. Based on the fast Fourier transform （FFT）, the fluorescence lifetime is obtained from the tangent function of phase angle of the non-zeroth terms in the FFT result. This method has advantages such as quick calculation, high accuracy and immunity to the background noise. This FFT method is compared with other traditional fitting methods, indicating that the standard deviation of the FFT method is about half of that of the Prony method and about 1/6 of that of the log-fit method. And the FFT method is immune to the background noise involved in a signal. So, the FFT method is an excellent way of processing signals. In addition, a phase-lock amplifier can effectively suppress the noise.
