This paper formulates interferometric image reconstriiction as a 2D absolute phase estimation problem The original phase image is modeled as a sample of a Gauss Markov random field; the observations are the noisy in-phase (cosine) and quadrature (sine) images. The proposed solution combines features of the iterated conditional modes algorithm with nonlinear stochastic absolute phase estimation ...

This paper proposes a lip reading technique for speech recognition by using motion estimation analysis. Motion estimation is done for lip movement image sequences representing speech. In this methodology, the motion estimation is computed without extracting the speaker’s lip contours and location. This leads to obtaining robust visual features for lip movements representing utterances. Our meth...

the present study describes a simple, accurate, precise and cost effective uv-vis spectroscopic and rp-hplc method for the estimation of ibandronate sodium (ibn). the determination of ibandronate sodium (ibn) was performed by both uv and rp-hplc method using 215 nm as the determination wavelength. the drug was dissolved in naoh solution (0.1n naoh) for estimation in uv and in distilled water fo...

The Phase Gradient Autofocus (PGA) algorithm has been widely used in Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to remove motion-induced blurs in the images. The PGA algorithm has been proven to be a superior autofocus method. PGA assumes a narrow beam, which is valid for most SAR systems. However, lower altitude SA& have large range dependencies that cannot be ignored. A new phase estimator for ...

This paper describes cross-correlation based systems for the estimation of the room impulse response. A various types of excitation signals are used: white noise, pink noise, swept-sine, MLS, and random phase multisine. Criteria to evaluate the quality of the impulse response estimation were: a) random and stationary noise rejection, b) rejection of nonlinearities introduced by measuring system...

As many coded systems operate at very low signal-to-noise ratios, synchronization becomes a very difficult task. In many cases, conventional algorithms will either require long training sequences or result in large BER degradations. By exploiting code properties, these problems can be avoided. In this contribution we present several iterative maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithms for joint carrier...

Single-channel speech separation algorithms frequently ignore the issue of accurate phase estimation while reconstructing the enhanced signal. Instead, they directly employ the mixed-signal phase for signal reconstruction which leads to undesired traces of the interfering source in the target signal. In this paper, assuming a given knowledge of signal spectrum amplitude, we present a solution t...

A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...

Several code-aided algorithms for phase estimation have recently been proposed. While some of them are ad-hoc, others are derived in a systematic way. The latter can be divided into two different classes: phase estimators derived from the expectation-maximization (EM) principle and estimators that are approximations of the sum-product message passing algorithm. In this paper, the main differenc...

This paper discusses the disturbance estimation problem for continuous-time multivariable dynamical systems with arbitrarily relative degrees. The disturbances, which are assumed bounded, refer to the combination of the external disturbances, the nonlinearities and the model uncertainties of the system. First, the disturbance observer is proposed for multivariable minimum phase systems. Then, t...
