    摘要: A technique for obtaining an intermediate set of frequency dependant features from a speech signal for use in speech processing and in obtaining estimates of speech pitch. The technique utilizes multiple tapers derived from Slepian sequences to obtain a product of the speech signal and the Slepian functions. Multiple tapered Fourier transforms are then obtained from the product, from which the set of frequency dependent features are calculated. In a preferred embodiment, a derivative of the cepstrum of the speech signal is used as an estimate of speech signal pitch. In another preferred embodiment, the F-spectrum is calculated from the product and the F-cepstrum is obtained therefrom by calculating the Fourier transform of the smoothed derivative of the log of the F-spectrum. The maximum of the F-cepstrum also provides a pitch estimation.

    摘要: A methodology is disclosed for processing image data to extract image information of interest from aggregate image information containing other interfering information. Application of the methodology also leads to significant compression in the data, which reduces storage requirements. With the methodology of the invention, an augmented linear decomposition of the image data is performed. Thereafter, components of the image data corresponding to a baseline image, image information introduced by non-regular extraneous factors, and image information related to random noise are removed from the data by suppression of appropriate terms of the linear decomposition. The image data so reduced may contain both image information of interest and image data related to regularly occurring extraneous factors. The image data of interest is removed from such reduced aggregate image data by frequency domain filtering of the reduced aggregate data.

    摘要: A method and system for optically recognizing an object from a reference library of known products based on a spectrum of local radius of curvature of the object. A surface portion of an object is illuminated with a pattern of light that permits the extraction of three dimensional coordinates for a set of points on the surface portion of the object. An image data set of the surface portion of the object is then captured with a capture device that is positioned at an angular offset with respect to a source of the light. That is, the combination of the light pattern and the imaging device together generate a two dimensional captured image, from which it is possible to extract the three dimensional coordinates for the set of points on the surface portion of the object. A set of local radii of curvatures are then determined for selected data points in the image data set. A spectrum representing a distribution of the curvatures is then computed for the set of local radii of curvatures. If the data set is for the generation of a library of spectra, it is processed with a dimension reduction analysis to determine a single set of basis functions representing all of the objects and a corresponding set of basis coefficients for each different type of object. If the data set is for an unknown object, then the dimension reduction analysis and the basis functions are applied to the data set to generate an unidentified set of basis coefficients. This latter set is then statistically compared with the reference library of spectra to identify the product or at least designate the closest known products.

    摘要: Problems of fading in a multi-path environment are ameliorated, and the presence of reflective surfaces is turned from a disadvantage to an advantage, by employing a third polarization direction that effectively creates a third communication channel. This third communication channel can be used to send more information, or to send information with enhanced spatial diversity to thereby improve the overall communication performance. A transmitted signal with three polarization directions is created with a transmitter having, illustratively, three dipole antennas that are spatially orthogonal to each other. A received signal having energy content in three polarization directions is detected by a receiver having, illustratively, three dipole antennas that are spatially orthogonal to each other.

    摘要: This inventions provides techniques for estimating both temporal and spectral channel fluctuations with the duration of a data symbol. Certain pulse shaping functions are Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences (DPSSs) and are used primarily because of their relatively limited Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) properties. During reception, these properties allow one or more parameters of a joint time-frequency channel model to be more easily determined. Once the one or more parameters are determined, they can be applied to received symbols to correct the temporal fluctuations, spectral fluctuations, or both of the channel over which a communication took place. The techniques may be adapted for the Multiple-In, Multiple-Out communication situation.

    摘要: An improved process for holography is provided, in which the reference beam used for storage and readout has a correlated phase content. In particular, it was found that reference beams having random phase content limited the attainable storage density and the accuracy of readout of stored holograms due to uncontrolled fluctuations in the correlation selectivity. By contrast, a reference beam having correlated phase content provides accurate shift selectivity, the ability to tailor the reference beam spectrum to minimize crosstalk between neighboring holograms, and mitigation of limitations inherent in the holographic system or holographic medium. Improved storage density and readout accuracy are thereby attained.

    摘要: We disclose apparatus for holographic recording of information. The apparatus includes a lens or lens system, referred to here as the "FT lens," situated in such a way that light from an object beam enters the FT lens after passing through an object, and light leaving the FT lens impinges on a recording medium situated at a Fourier transform plane of the object with respect to the FT lens. In certain aspects of the invention, the apparatus includes a phase element effectively juxtaposed with the object, the phase element is effective for redistributing object-beam intensity in the Fourier transform plane, and the phase element has a correlation length greater than a maximum pixel side length associated with the object. In certain other aspects of the invention, the apparatus includes an optical element or optical system, referred to here as a "power optic," that adds convergence or divergence to the object beam before the object beam enters the FT lens.
