A Novel Bayesian Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Ranging Algorithm

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We consider the problem of ranging with Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) radio under weak Line Of Sight (LOS) environments and additive Gaussian noise. We use a Bayesian approach where the prior distribution of the channel follows the IEEE 802.15.4a ...

Nonlinear sampling technique for microwave devices

Michael Mattes

This communication addresses the problem of any simulation tool: the accurate and efficient sampling of a physical observable with respect to a parameter. A popular sampling technique is the uniform sampling combined with a straight-line interpolation for ...

Halton Sampling for Image Registration Based on Mutual Information

Michel Bierlaire, Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

Mutual information is a widely used similarity measure for aligning multimodal medical images. At its core it relies on the computation of a discrete joint histogram, which itself requires image samples for its estimation. In this paper we study the influe ...

SHAPE PRIOR BASED ON STATISTICAL MAP FOR ACTIVE CONTOUR SEGMENTATION

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Valérie Duay, Alia Lemkaddem, Nawal Houhou

We propose a new method for performing active contour segmentation based on the statistical prior knowledge of the object to detect. From a binary training set of objects, a statistical map describes the possible shapes of the object by computing the proba ...

Efficient Product Importance Sampling using Hierarchical Thresholding

We present an efficient method for importance sampling the product of multiple functions. Our algorithm computes a quick approximation of the product on-the-fly, based on hierarchical representations of the Local maxima and averages of the individual terms ...

A multi target bearing tracking system using random sampling consensus

Volkan Cevher

In this paper, we present an acoustic direction-of-arrival (DOA) tracking system to track multiple maneuvering targets using a state space approach. The system consists of three blocks: beamformer, random sampling, and particle filter. The beamformer block ...

Power spectra of random spike fields and related processes

Andrea Ridolfi, Pierre Bremaud

This article reviews known results and contains new ones concerning the power spectra of large classes of signals and random fields driven by an underlying point process, such as spatial shot noises (with random impulse response and arbitrary basic station ...

Monte Carlo Video Text Segmentation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Jean-Marc Odobez, Datong Chen

This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences based on adaptive thresholding using a Bayes filtering method. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentation thresholds of ...

Video Text Recognition using Sequential Monte Carlo and Error Voting Methods

Jean-Marc Odobez, Datong Chen

This paper addresses the issue of segmentation and recognition of text embedded in video sequences from their associated text image sequence extracted by a text detection module. To this end, we propose a probabilistic algorithm based on Bayesian adaptive ...

Thurston's weak metric on the Teichmüller space of the torus

Marc Troyanov

We define and study a natural weak metric on the Teichmüller space of the torus. A similar metric has been defined by W. Thurston on the Teichmüller space of higher genus surfaces and our definition is motivated by Thurston's definition. However, we shall ...
