Application of Mdl Criterion for Microwave Imaging by Music Algorithm

چکیده
Multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm has been applied to localize small scatterers for super-resolution imaging. A problem associated with this application is the estimation of the number of scatterers in presence of noise and multiple scattering between targets. In this paper, we show that the mathematical model behind the scattering from the small objects is well compatible with the minimum description length (MDL) model. This leads us to use the MDL so as to estimate the number of scatterers before application of the MUSIC algorithm. As the MDL assumes the sources are independent, the nearby wave sources are grouped together to improve the independency criterion. The application of MDL to synthetic and experimental data verifies accurate estimation of the target number with low complexity, even if the data embodies significant noise and multiple scattering.

A Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a multiple access technique based on spread spectrum methods. To estimate the delay parameters appearing in the data model, several authors have proposed subspace-based solutions. Unfortunately, these methods, for example the eigenvector-based MUSIC method yields poor results at low signal-to-noise ratios. On the other hand, theoretically optimal maximum ...

A method for parameter estimation in image classification or segmentation is studied within the statistical frame of finite mixture distributions. The method models an image as a finite mixture. Each mixture component corresponds to an image class. Each image class is characterized by parameters, such as the intensity mean, the standard deviation and the number of image pixels in that class.

We present a technique for the segmention of a sound track into two classes of segments. Each frame of signal is preprocessed by extracting cepstral coefficients and their first order derivatives. For each class, the distribution of the frame parameter vectors is modeled by a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). GMM order is selected using two criteria : the Minimum Description Length (MDL) criterion ...
