SONAR: Signal De-mixing for Robust Correlation Clustering
Clustering is one of the most fundamental challenges in data mining. We identified three core problems which turn finding a natural grouping of a data set into a difficult task: First, clusters may exist in arbitrarily oriented subspaces of various dimensionality (also known as correlation clusters). Secondly, the cluster structure may be hidden by noise and outliers. Finally, the number, size ...
متن کاملMotion Compensation Improves Medical Ultrasound Image Quality
Internal noise degrades the quality of a medical ultrasound imaging and thus, reduces its usefulness as a diagnostic tool. We study the effect of fusing multiple ultrasound pings on improving the quality of the ultrasound image. This approach is limited by the relative motion between the sensor array and internal organs, a problem which reduces the effect of the fusion. We present a robust moti...
متن کاملAdvances in Multistatic Sonar
Although the concept of multistatic active sonar (MAS) has been around for over 50 years, new trends have brought this technology to the forefront of anti-submarine warfare research. These trends include advancements in sonar sensors and signal processing, advancements in submarine stealth, and a desire to track targets in noisy and reverberant environments, such as near-shore or shallow waters...
متن کاملSonar-induced temporary hearing loss in dolphins.
There is increasing concern that human-produced ocean noise is adversely affecting marine mammals, as several recent cetacean mass strandings may have been caused by animals' interactions with naval 'mid-frequency' sonar. However, it has yet to be empirically demonstrated how sonar could induce these strandings or cause physiological effects. In controlled experimental studies, we show that mid...
متن کاملRobustified distance based fuzzy membership function for support vector machine classification
Fuzzification of support vector machine has been utilized to deal with outlier and noise problem. This importance is achieved, by the means of fuzzy membership function, which is generally built based on the distance of the points to the class centroid. The focus of this research is twofold. Firstly, by taking the advantage of robust statistics in the fuzzy SVM, more emphasis on reducing the im...
