The new generation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (RADARSAT-2, TerraSAR-X, ALOS, . . . ) allows us to capture Earth surface images with very high resolution. Therefore the possibility to characterize objects has become more and more attainable. Moreover, the short revisit time propertie of these satellites enables the development of techniques of change detection and their applications. Sphericall...

In this paper, a bias-compensated least squares (BCLS) method in the closed loop environment is proposed. It is assumed that the observation noise is a white gaussinan signal while there are no process noises. It is also assumed that the plant is controlled by a linear time invariant controller and that the closed loop system is asymptotically stable. The proposed estimator is unbiased and it d...

The paper presents a new (to the best of the authors’ knowledge) estimator of probability called the “Eph√2 completeness estimator” along with a theoretical derivation of its optimality. The estimator is especially suitable for a small number of sample items, which is the feature of many real problems characterized by data insufficiency. The control parameter of the estimator is not assumed in ...

Carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in uplink of OFDM is a challenging task because each user will experiences different CFO. In this we are estimating the CFO by using different types of estimators. Here we are considering Fusco’s estimator & proposed estimator, in Fusco’s estimator we transmit the signal only in serial form and used both real & imaginary so to reduce the complexity in e...

We present a purely functional implementation of search trees that requires O(log n) time for search and update operations and supports the join of two trees in worst case constant time. Hence, we solve an open problem posed by Kaplan and Tarjan as to whether it is possible to envisage a data structure supporting simultaneously the join operation in O(1) time and the search and update operation...

We propose the weighted moments estimators (WMEs) of the location and scale parameters for the extreme value distribution based on the multiply type II censored sample. Simulated mean squared errors (MSEs) of best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) and exact MSEs of WMEs are compared to study the behavior of different estimation methods. The results show the best estimator among the WMEs and BLUE...

In this paper, the modiied MUSIC estimator 1] for near-far resistant delay estimation in DS-CDMA systems is considered. A simpliied cost function is proposed and analytical expressions for the variance of the two algorithms are derived, showing that the asymptotic variance is invariant to the interference power.

We derive a local linear estimator of generalized impulse response (GIR) functions for nonlinear conditional heteroskedastic autoregressive processes and show its asymptotic normality. We suggest a plug-in bandwidth based on the derived asymptotically optimal bandwidth. A local linear estimator for the conditional variance function is proposed which has simpler bias than the standard estimator....

The problem of determining surface shape from shading is formulated in terms of Bayesian estimation. The goal is to select an estimate of surface shape that best fits some criterion on the posterior probability of the surface conditional on the image data. This conditional probability is a function of the imaging function and the prior probability of the surface. A gradient descent technique is...
