PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the effect of homonymous hemianopia (HH) on detection of pedestrian figures in multiple realistic and hazardous situations within the controlled environment of a driving simulator. METHODS Twelve people with complete HH and without visual neglect or cognitive decline and 12 matched (age, sex, and years of driving experience) normally sighted (NV) dri...

= ' blind sequence detection (BSD) aigorithm based on the innovations approach is proposed and its performance in a Rayleigh fading environment is evaluated. A cornparison between the innovations and Tong's Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) [25] based blind sequence detection algorithm is also presented. Further insight is gained on how blind sequence detectors behave by examining several para...

Watermarking systems can employ either informed detection, where the original cover work is required, or blind detection, where it is not required. While early systems used informed detection, recent work has focused on blind detection, because it is considered more challenging and general. Further, recent work on “dirty-paper watermarking” has suggested that informed detection provides no bene...

| Multiple access interference (MAI) is a signi cant limiting factor in the performance of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. Various multiuser detection techniques have been developed to combat the e ects of MAI. These detection techniques either assume the knowledge of all the users in the system (conventional) or assume the knowledge of the user of interest only...
