Approximate channel identification via δ‐signed correlation

A method of approximate channel identification is proposed that is based on a simplification of the correlation estimator. Despite the numerical simplification (no multiplications or additions are required, only comparisons and an accumulator), the performance of the proposed estimator is not significantly worse than that of the standard correlation estimator. A free (user selectable) parameter moves ‘smoothly’ from a situation with small sum‐squared channel estimation error but hard‐to‐identify channel peaks, to one with a larger sum‐squared estimation error but easy‐to‐identify channel peaks. The proposed estimator is shown to be biased and its behaviour is analysed in a number of situations. Applications of the proposed estimator to sparsity detection, symbol timing recovery and to the initialization of blind equalizers are suggested. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

一种梯度交替迭代设计测量矩阵的方法

在压缩采样中,测量矩阵应该和表达字典有尽可能小的相干性,随机测量矩阵一直被使用是因为其和任何表达字典都有较小的相干性。提出一种基于梯度迭代最小化方法,作为格拉斯曼框架设计的一种变体,通过优化一个初始的随机测量矩阵来得到相干性更小的测量矩阵。仿真结果表明所设计的测量矩阵具有更好的性能。     

Discriminative multi-task objects tracking with active feature selection and drift correction

In this paper, we propose a discriminative multi-task objects tracking method with active feature selection and drift correction. The developed method formulates object tracking in a particle filter framework as multi-Task discriminative tracking. As opposed to generative methods that handle particles separately, the proposed method learns the representation of all the particles jointly and the corresponding coefficients are similar. The tracking algorithm starts from the active feature selection scheme, which adaptively chooses suitable number of discriminative features from the tracked target and background in the dynamic environment. Based on the selected feature space, the discriminative dictionary is constructed and updated dynamically. Only a few of them are used to represent all the particles at each frame. In other words, all the particles share the same dictionary templates and their representations are obtained jointly by discriminative multi-task learning. The particle that has the highest similarity with the dictionary templates is selected as the next tracked target state. This jointly sparsity and discriminative learning can exploit the relationship between particles and improve tracking performance. To alleviate the visual drift problem encountered in object tracking, a two-stage particle filtering algorithm is proposed to complete drift correction and exploit both the ground truth information of the first frame and observations obtained online from the current frame. Experimental evaluations on challenging sequences demonstrate the effectiveness, accuracy and robustness of the proposed tracker in comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms.     

基于流形学习的整体正交稀疏保留鉴别分析

稀疏保留投影是一种有效的特征提取方法,但是其主要关注样本间的全局稀疏重构关系,并且得到的投影变换通常不是正交的。在实际应用中,图像数据往往处于高维空间中的一种低维流形中,正交性一直被认为有利于提高鉴别能力。文中以有监督学习的方式在稀疏保留投影中引入了流形结构保留,并使得投影空间正交,从而提出了一种新的特征提取方法,即基于流形学习的整体正交稀疏保留鉴别分析（MLHOSDA）。在人脸和掌纹图像数据库的实验结果表明此方法具有较好的识别效果。     

Robust sparse principal component analysis

The model for improving the robustness of sparse principal component analysis（PCA） is proposed in this paper. Instead of the l2-norm variance utilized in the conventional sparse PCA model,the proposed model maximizes the l1-norm variance,which is less sensitive to noise and outlier. To ensure sparsity,lp-norm（0 p 1） constraint,which is more general and effective than l1-norm,is considered. A simple yet efficient algorithm is developed against the proposed model. The complexity of the algorithm approximately linearly increases with both of the size and the dimensionality of the given data,which is comparable to or better than the current sparse PCA methods. The proposed algorithm is also proved to converge to a reasonable local optimum of the model. The efficiency and robustness of the algorithm is verified by a series of experiments on both synthetic and digit number image data.

基于Hessian图正则稀疏NMF的高光谱解混

基于非负矩阵分解(Nonnegative Matrix Factorization, NMF)的高光谱解混(Hyperspectral Unmixing,HU)方法引起了大家的关注,因为可以将一个非负高光谱图像(Hyperspectral Imagery, HSI)数据矩阵分解为两个非负矩阵的乘积,分别对应于端元矩阵和丰度系数矩阵。目前,图约束的NMF算法已经被证明对高光谱解混是有效的,因为它们可以捕获HSI的几何特性。为了挖掘数据在混合过程中的几何结构和稀疏性,提出了一种稀疏的Hessian图正则化NMF(SHGNMF)算法。SHGNMF算法是将丰度矩阵的L1/2正则化器和Hessian图正则化项都添加到每个NMF模型中,同时采用乘法更新规则。最后用模拟数据和真实数据进行实验,验证了所提出的SHGNMF算法相对于其他NMF算法的优越性。

通用稀疏多核学习

针对L1范数多核学习方法产生核权重的稀疏解时可能会导致有用信息的丢失和泛化性能退化,Lp范数多核学习方法产生核权重的非稀疏解时会产生很多冗余信息并对噪声敏感,提出了一种通用稀疏多核学习方法。该算法是基于L1范数和Lp范数(p>1) 混合的网状正则化多核学习方法,不仅能灵活的调整稀疏性,而且鼓励核权重的组效应,L1范数和Lp范数多核学习方法可以认为是该方法的特例。该方法引进的混合约束为非线性约束,故对此约束采用二阶泰勒展开式近似,并使用半无限规划来求解该优化问题。实验结果表明,改进后的方法在动态调整稀疏性的前提下能获得较好的分类性能,同时也支持组效应,从而验证了改进后的方法是有效可行的。
