Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) systems are a class of multicarrier modulation schemes for high speed wireless communication. These systems are known for their low adjacent channel leakage. In this paper we focus on the problem of channel equalization for FBMC systems. Most solutions in the literature use a per subcarrier equalization suffering from an error floor at high signal-to-noise ratios...

This paper considers the application of iterative equalization and decoding, also known as Turbo equalization, to high frequency (HF) serial-tone modems. The softin soft-out (SISO) equalizer required for this approach is based on a linear filter, since a trellis-based equalizer’s computational complexity is too large for this application. Linear equalization algorithms with SISO capability are ...

The conventional linear prediction can be viewed as a constrained blind equalization problem that has gained a lot of interests along with development of telecommunication networks. Because the blind equalization or deconvolution is a general framework of the inverse problem, the reliable and faster algorithm is requested in many applications. This paper proposes an orthogonal wavelet transform...

Input images that are captured by remote sensing devices are sometimes not really in good brightness and con-trast. Therefore, a process known as a digital image contrast enhancement is normally required to increase the quality of these low Contrast images. Histogram Equalization (HE) has been an essential addition to the Image Enhancement world and other Enhancement techniques like Classical H...

Most Support Vector Machine (SVM) based systems make use of conventional methods for the normalization of the features or the scores previously to the fusion stage. In this work, in addition to the conventional methods, two equalization methods, histogram equalization, which was recently introduced in multimodal systems, and Bi-Gaussian equalization, which is presented in this paper, are applie...
