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...

Change effort estimation and impact analysis are two important methods to make effective change acceptance decisions for the software development phase. Accepting too many changes causes additional cost and delay in the competition. On the other hand, rejection of the changes may cause customer dissatisfaction. There are very few works have been done to support effective change decisions in dev...

While Quantum phase estimation (QPE) is at the core of many quantum algorithms known to date, its physical implementation (algorithms based on quantum Fourier transform (QFT) ) is highly constrained by the requirement of high-precision controlled phase shift operators, which remain difficult to realize. In this paper, we introduce an alternative approach to approximately implement QPE with arbi...

The measurement problem for the optical phase has been traditionally attacked for noiseless schemes or in the presence of amplitude or detection noise. Here we address the estimation of phase in the presence of phase diffusion and evaluate the ultimate quantum limits to precision for phase-shifted Gaussian states. We look for the optimal detection scheme and derive approximate scaling laws for ...

We consider kernel estimators of the instantaneous frequency of a slowly evolving sinusoid in white noise. The expected estimation error consists of two terms. The systematic bias error grows as the kernel halfwidth increases while the random error decreases. For a nonmodulated signal, g(t), the kernel halfwidth which minimizes the expected error scales as h ∼ [ σ2 N |∂2 t g |2 ]1/5 , where σ2 ...

The computer-based 3D modeling of ore bodies is one of the most important steps in the resource estimation, grade determination, and production scheduling of open-pit mines. In the modeling phase, the volume of the orebody model is required to be filled by the blocks and sub-blocks. The determination of Block Size (BS) is important due to the dependence of the geostatistical issues and calculat...

Methods for size distribution estimation and rainfall type discrimination with estimated phase function using measured reflected laser light by rain droplet are proposed. Preliminary experiments are conducted with Laser ranging instrument and spectral radiometer for estimation of size distribution and rainfall type discrimination as well as phase function of scattering by rain drops. Through th...

We derive, and experimentally demonstrate, an interferometric scheme for unambiguous phase estimation with precision scaling at the Heisenberg limit, that does not require adaptive measurements. That is, with no prior knowledge of the phase, we can obtain an estimate of the phase with a standard deviation that is only a small constant factor larger than the minimum physically allowed value. Our...

This contribution considers the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) related to the joint estimation of the carrier phase and frequency of a noisy linearly modulated signal with random data symbols, using the correct continuous-time model of the received signal. We compare our results with the existing results obtained from a (commonly used) simplified discrete-time model of the matched filter output samples...

Pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound has been used for estimation of blood velocity in human body as an implicit result of being non-invasive method. In this research, to compensate the drawbacks such as long observation window of prevalent methods in the Doppler ultrasound, we proposed a new adaptive method based on projection of the cross spectral metric technique into the amplitude and phase estim...
