چکیده

Determining the number of sources from observed data, is a fundamental problem in array signal processing. In this paper, first we focus on two popular estimators based on information theoretic criteria, AIC and MDL. Then another algorithm based on eigenvalue grads, namely EGM is presented. The computer simulation results prove the effective performance of the EGM for non-coherent signals but in the small differences between the incident angles of non-coherent sources, MDL and AIC have a much better detection performance than EGM. These methods can detect only non-coherent signals, and the performance of them will be sharply declined even signals are coherent and/or correlated. So, first forward/backward spatial s moothing (FBSS) method is used as a pre-processing step to solve the coherency/correlation, and then MDL, AIC and EGM algorithms are run to estimate the number of signals. Numerical results show that FBSS-based EGM offers higher detection probability rather than FBSS-based MDL and AIC in the case of coherent sources as well as correlated ones. Also, the higher detection probability can be achieved for correlated case compared to coherent one.

A New Method for Detecting the Number of Coherent Sources in the Presence of Colored Noise

In this paper, a new method for determining the number of coherent/correlated signals in the presence of colored noise is proposed which is based on the Eigen Increment Threshold (EIT) method. First, we present a new approach which combines EIT criterion and eigenvalue correction. The simulation results show that the new method estimates the number of noncoherent signals in the presence of colo...

A PARALIND Decomposition-Based Coherent Two-Dimensional Direction of Arrival Estimation Algorithm for Acoustic Vector-Sensor Arrays

In this paper, we combine the acoustic vector-sensor array parameter estimation problem with the parallel profiles with linear dependencies (PARALIND) model, which was originally applied to biology and chemistry. Exploiting the PARALIND decomposition approach, we propose a blind coherent two-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) estimation algorithm for arbitrarily spaced acoustic vector-se...

Comparative assessment of the accuracy of maximum likelihood and correlated signal enhancement algorithm positioning methods in gamma camera with large square photomultiplier tubes

Introduction: The gamma cameras, based on scintillation crystal followed by an array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), play a crucial role in nuclear medicine. The use of square PMTs provides the minimum dead zones in the camera. The camera with square PMTs also reduces the number of PMTs relative to the detection area. Introduction of a positioning algorithm to improve the spat...
