Quantification of vocal quality of a speech signal is essential in a number of applications. However, existing measures for this purpose are often characterized by poor sensitivity and specificity to perceptual judgments. These shortcomings may have arisen because (1) these measures are often validated against “noisy” perceptual data and (2) the non-linear and multidimensional relationships bet...

In several application domains (detection systems, telecommunications, video processing, etc.) the applications deal with multidimensional data. These applications are usually embedded and subjected to real-time and resource constraints. The challenge is thus to provide efficient implementations on parallel and distributed architectures. Array-OL has been designed specifically to handle this ki...

The present review tries to identify some trends among the multitude of ways followed by image processing developments in the field of microscopy. Nine topics were selected. They cover the fields of: signal processing, statistical analysis, artificial intelligence, three-dimensional microscopy, multidimensional microscopy, multimodality microscopy, theory, simulation and multidisciplinarity. A ...

Many signal processing systems, particularly in the multimedia and telecom domains, are synthesized to execute data-dominated applications. Their behavior is described in a high-level programming language, where the code is typically organized in sequences of loop nests and the main data structures are multidimensional arrays. Since data transfer and storage have a significant impact on both th...

Multidimensional-adaptive audio coding algorithms can adapt multiple performance measures to the demands of different audio applications in real-time. Depending on the transmission or storage environment, audio processing applications require forms of error control to maintain acceptable audio quality. By definition, multidimensional-adaptive audio coding utilizes numerous error detection, corr...

Multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar, which locates target in the surveillance area by the reflected signals of the available opportunistic transmitter from the target, is of interest in many applications. In this paper, we investigate different signal processing scenarios in multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar. These scenarios include decentralized processing of reference ...
