    摘要: An iterative approach to vector median filtering wherein the resulting median vector need not be a member of the original data set. The iterative vector median filtering allows for fast convergence for complex computations and an output which is approximate to the mean, particularly for small data sets.In addition, a method and system for registering and matching 2.5 normal maps is provided. Registration of two maps is performed by optimally aligning their normals through 2-D warping in the image plane in conjunction with a 3-D rotation of the normals. Once aligned, the average dot-product serves as a matching metric for automatic target recognition (ATR).

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for performing blind source separation using convolutive signal decorrelation. For a first embodiment, the method accumulates a length of input signal (mixed signal) that comprises a plurality of independent signals from independent signal sources. The invention then divides the length of input signal into a plurality of T-length periods (windows) and performs a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the signal within each T-length period. Thereafter, estimated cross-correlation values are computed using a plurality of the averaged DFT values. A total number of K cross-correlation values are computed, where each of the K values is averaged over N of the T-length periods. Using the cross-correlation values, a gradient descent process computes the coefficients of a FIR filter that will effectively separate the source signals within the input signal. A second embodiment of the invention is directed to on-line processing of the input signal—i.e., processing the signal as soon as it arrives with no storage of the signal data. In particular, an on-line gradient algorithm is provided for application to non-stationary signals and having an adaptive step size in the frequency domain based on second derivatives of the cost function. The on-line separation methodology of this embodiment is characterized as multiple adaptive decorrelation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus that performs blind source separation using convolutive signal decorrelation. More specifically, the method accumulates a length of input signal (mixed signal) that includes a plurality of independent signals from independent signal sources. The invention then divides the length of input signal into a plurality of T-length periods (windows) and performs a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the signal within each T-length period. Thereafter, estimated cross-correlation values are computed using a plurality of the averaged DFT values. A total number of K cross-correlation values are computed, where each of the K values is averaged over N of the T-length periods. Using the cross-correlation values, a gradient descent process computes the coefficients of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter that will effectively separate the source signals within the input signal. To achieve an accurate solution, the gradient descent process is constrained in that the time-domain values of the filter coefficients can attain only certain values, i.e., the time-domain filter coefficient values W(.tau.) are constrained within each T-length period to be zero for any time t>Q. In this manner, a unique solution for the FIR filter coefficients is computed and a filter produced using these coefficients will effectively separate the source signals.
