基于空时DFT投影实现宽带信号二维角估计

 提出了一种基于空时DFT投影的宽带信号二维角估计算法. 该方法采用3个共面的均匀线阵,每一均匀线阵对宽带信号空间采样,然后进行空时二维DFT变换,在空时频率域对宽带信号进行投影变换,用MUSIC算法实现宽带来波信号方向余弦的估计. 利用3个方向余弦估值进行配对,然后求得来波的方位角和仰角估计. 该方法既保留了投影算法的优点,即不需要源的先验知识;不需变换矩阵和在低信噪比有好的性能,又避免二维谱峰搜索.仿真实验表明了算法是有效的.

Shadow detection for mobile robots: Features,evaluation, and datasets

ABSTRACT

Shadows have long been a challenging topic for computer vision. This challenge is made even harder when we assume that the camera is moving, as many existing shadow detection techniques require the creation and maintenance of a background model. This article explores the problem of shadow modelling from a moving viewpoint (assumed to be a robotic platform) through comparing shadow-variant and shadow-invariant image features — primarily color, texture and edge-based features. These features are then embedded in a segmentation pipeline that provides predictions on shadow status, using minimal temporal context. We also release a public dataset of shadow-related image sequences, to help other researchers further develop shadow detection methods and to enable benchmarking of techniques.     

极性采样倒相编码数字脉冲压缩处理器的检测性能

本文阐述了极性采样倒相编码数字脉冲压缩处理器的非参量恒虚警率(CFAR)特性。这种处理器实质上是简化的Dicke-fix,也是窄带信号的符号检测器。确定了高斯和非高斯噪声中的检测性能。说明了这种处理器相对于非相干匹配滤波器的信噪比损失随码长增加而减小;在高斯噪声中的渐近损失为1.96dB;在Weibull噪声中的损失随Weibull分布形状参数减小而减小,甚至可转为得益。     

一种新的导航星选取算法研究

在导航星表的建立过程中，由于恒星的数量太多，往往要进行筛选，通常这种选择复杂费时，而结果往往并不是最优的。本文引入了动态星等阈值分布函数，将传统星等阈值过滤算法中的静态阈值用动态星等阈值代替，建立了一种新的动态星等阈值过滤选择模式。而基于统计学习理论的支持向量机方法为求解高维非线性动态星等阈值分布函数提供了新的途径。本文讨论了这种基于支持向量机的导航星自动选择算法——回归选取算法。实验表明，用该算法所选取的导航星表，导航星数量少、分布均匀性好。同时它还能适应多种任务的导航星选取要求，具有很强的通用性。

Rhetorical shadows: The conceptual representation of incongruent shadows

ABSTRACT

This article addresses the topic of conceptual representation of shadows. We analyze several examples of contemporary imagery, taken from advertising and cartooning, to shed light on the way shadow depictions are used as rhetorical devices. Instead of being inserted as a natural phenomenon, rhetorical shadows invite the construction of meaning, and instead of being a mere natural companion of their casters, they reveal things about their casters. Three so-called “shadow incongruity types” are distinguished: (1) shadows revealing the “true nature” of their caster or the “hidden contents” of the caster’s mind; (2) shadows marking some transition their caster is involved in; and (3) shadows suggesting a certain quality attached to one of a shadow’s main ingredients (casting object, light source or surface). For each of these types of rhetorical shadows, we demonstrate that the way they convey meaning basically follows the principles of perceiving and understanding natural shadows.     

Azimuth selection for sea level measurements using geodetic GPS receivers

Based on analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) multipath signals recorded by a geodetic GPS receiver, GPS Reflectometry (GPS-R) has demonstrated unique advantages in relation to sea level monitoring. Founded on multipath reflectometry theory, sea level changes can be measured by GPS-R through spectral analysis of recorded signal-to-noise ratio data. However, prior to estimating multipath parameters, it is necessary to define azimuth and elevation angle mask to ensure the reflecting zones are on water. Here, a method is presented to address azimuth selection, a topic currently under active development in the field of GPS-R. Data from three test sites: the Kachemak Bay GPS site PBAY in Alaska (USA), Friday Harbor GPS site SC02 in the San Juan Islands (USA), and Brest Harbor GPS site BRST in Brest (France) are analyzed. These sites are located in different multipath environments, from a rural coastal area to a busy harbor, and they experience different tidal ranges. Estimates by the GPS tide gauges at azimuths selected by the presented method are compared with measurements from physical tide gauges and acceptable correspondence found for all three sites.
