In this paper, we propose a method to detect and recover the occluded parts of face images using the correlation between pairs of pixels. In a training stage, correlation coefficients between every pairs of pixels are calculated using the occlusion-free face images. Once a new occluded face image is shown, the occluded area is detected and recovered using the correlation coefficients obtained in the training stage. We compare the performance of the proposed method with the conventional method based on PCA. The results show that the proposed method detects and recovers occluded area with much smaller noises than the conventional PCA based method. Moreover, recovered images by the proposed method were more smooth with reduced blurring effect.

In this paper, we propose a new decorrelating detector called pseudo-inverse-filtering type decorrelating detector for asynchronous CDMA channels. We first show that the matched filtering and decorrelating operations of the existing decorrelating detectors can be replaced with the pseudo-inverse filtering operations in synchronous channels, and using this fact we show that the decorrelating detector has the largest SNR among the linear detectors that can eliminate MAI. Then we introduce asynchronous pseudo-inverse filtering type decorrelating detector by extending this result for asynchronous channels, and discuss implementation methods of the proposed decorrelating detectors. Since the proposed scheme employs a decentralized structure for updating coefficients, it has the flexibility to add/remove users. Finally we analyze the performance of the proposed decorrelating detector in terms of the bit error rate, and examine its performance improvements over the conventional detectors through computer simulations.

일반적으로 음향 반향 제거기에서 적응필터의 안정성을 보장하기 위해서 동시통화 검출기(DTD)를 사용하여 원단화자 신호와 근단화자 신호의 존재 여부에 따라 적응필터 계수의 적응 여부를 결정한다. 본 논문에서는 두 개의 상호상관계수를 이용하여 계산량과 메모리 소자수 면에서 효율적인 동시통화 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 마이크로폰의 입력신호와 추정된 반향 신호간의 상호상관계수, 그리고 마이크로폰의 입력신호와 오차신호간의 상호상관계수를 이용하여, 주행 상황과 같이 심한 잡음 환경에서도 동시통화 구간의 시작점과 끝점 검출에 강인한 특성을 갖는다. 또한, 기존의 상호상관도를 이용하는 방법에 비하여 적은 양의 계산과 메모리를 필요로 하여 저가의 고정소수점 DSP를 이용한 실시간 구현에 적합하다. 성능 평가를 위하여 차내 핸즈프리 통신 환경에서 얻은 실측 데이터를 사용하여 기존의 방법과 비교하였다.

In a conventional sonar system, which uses LFM signal for detecting targets with varying speed, the results of multiple LFM Doppler correlators are aligned and the maximum alined result are selected as a test cell for detecting targets. As the number of the LFM Doppler correlators are increased for accurate target detection, as the required computational complexity and the memory are also increased. This fact makes it difficult to implement the accurate LFM target detector. In this paper, we propose a new fast target detection which is robust for the variation of target speed. Because the proposed method uses the summation of alined results of large numbers of LFM Doppler correlators, the proposed method increase SNR and provide robust SNR for the variation of target speed. And the proposed method can provide very fast target detection by implementing the process, the summation of alined results of large numbers of LFM Doppler correlators, as one summation filter.

The spectrum sensing is important for decision of using frequency band. It checks the frequency band for cognitive radio system. In this paper, we apply autocorrelation function to the energy detection method. We use the autocorrelation function to improve the performance of spectrum sensing method based on the energy detection method. This method is different from cyclostationary process method where parameters such as the mean or the autocorrelation function are time-varying periodically. And we propose improved method that is robust in poor radio environment. If the proposed method applies for sensing in the cognitive radio system, it will have the structural simplicity and the fast computation of spectrum sensing.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for the cross-correlation based double-talk detection (DTD), which employing the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in the frequency domain. The proposed algorithm transforms the cross correlation coefficient used in the time domain into 16 channels in the frequency domain using the discrete fourier transform (DFT). The channels are then selected into seven feature vectors for GMM and we identify three different regions such as far-end, double-talk and near-end speech using the likelihood comparison based on those feature vectors. The presented DTD algorithm detects efficiently the double-talk regions without Voice Activity Detector which has been used in conventional cross correlation based double-talk detection. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated under various conditions and yields better results compared with the conventional schemes. especially, show the robustness against detection errors resulting from the background noises or echo path change which one of the key issues in practical DTD.

This paper presents an asynchronous DS/CDMA multiuser detector, which is a two stage, symbol-by-symbol scheme consisting of conventional detectors followed by linear decorrelating detectors. The conventional detector first makes temporal decisions and the detected symbols are delayed by one symbol period to be used for the selection of decorrelating bases in the subsequent decorrelaing detection stage. It also employs a bank of early-late correlators in place of a bank of single correlators taking the small offset of chip timing asynchronism into account. The proposed detector requires only the coarse knowledge of relative time delays of interfering users and is suitable for digital implementation. To verify the detector performance, the analytical BER performance will be given and compared with the simulation results for BPSK DS/CDMA signals in AWGN channel. While the performance of the proposed detector will be analyzed for time-limited signal, the simulation is carried out for both the time-limited and band-limited signals. As can be seen in the simulation results, the proposed scheme shows good results.

The synchronization signal in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems contains the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the overall synchronization performance is dominated by PSS detection. In this paper, we propose a PSS detection scheme employing three partial correlation based PSS detectors with different partial correlation lengths, in which calculated partial correlation values are reused in order to reduce computational complexity. A coherent selection scheme using tentative frequency offsets is also proposed to select one reliable result from outputs of partial correlation based PSS detectors. It is shown through computer simulation that the proposed scheme can have a robust detection performance in wide range of frequency offsets.
