An efficient realization of a low delay filter-bank, termed as generalized filter-bank equalizer (FBE), will be proposed for noise reduction with low signal delay. The FBE is equivalent to a time-domain filter with coefficients adapted in the frequencydomain. This filter-bank structure ensures perfect signal reconstruction for a variety of spectral transforms with less restrictions than for an ...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of Gabor filter banks for detection of facial landmarks (pupils and philtrum). Sensitivity is assessed using the statistic, a non-parametric estimate of sensitivity independent of bias commonly used in the psychophysical literature. We find that current Gabor filter bank systems are overly complex. Performance can be greatly improved by reducing the num...

We report here on image texture analysis and on numerical simulation of fractional Brownian textures based on the newly emerged Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). EMD introduced by N.E. Huang et al. is a promising tool to non-stationary signal representation as a sum of zero-mean AM-FM components called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF). Recent works published by P. Flandrin et al. relate that, i...

This paper presents methods for the design of nonuniform filter banks. The filter bank structure is obtained from an uniformly modulated filter bank by using an allpass transform which has a lossless frequency function and a nonlinear phase function. The proposed design methods include linear and quadratic frequency domain criteria and linear constraints. Considered applications are subband ada...

Some convergence properties of an adaptive filter structure which employs an analysis filter bank and sparse adaptive subfilters are investigated in this paper. By properly choosing the filter bank and the number of adaptive coefficients, such a structure is capable of modeling any linear system with finite impulse response (FIR). Using the analysis results derived in this paper, an optimizatio...

The ability to support multiple channels of different communication standards, in the available bandwidth, is of importance in modern software defined radio (SDR) receivers. An SDR receiver typically employs a channelizer to extract multiple narrowband channels from the received wideband signal using digital filter banks. Since the filter bank channelizer is placed immediately after the analog-...

A method is proposed that uses a filter bank and an adaptive filter for the harmonic estimation in power signals. Here the amplitudes and frequencies of each harmonic is estimated. A fundamental filter bank (FB) decomposes the input power signal into sub signals and multistage FB is used for higher order harmonic decomposition. An adaptive filter is used to estimate the parameters more accurate...

This paper is concerned with the use of complexmodulated oversampled filter bank for frequency domain equalization in single carrier systems. A novel equalizer structure consisting of a low order linear phase FIR and an all-pass filter is applied in subband-wise compensation of channel amplitude and phase distortions separately. The performance of the proposed filter bank based frequency domain...
