A Novel Approach to Introducing Adaptive Filters Based on the LMS Algorithm and Its Variants

2004

This paper presents a new approach to introducing adaptive filters based on the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm and its variants in an undergraduate course on digital signal processing. Unlike other filters currently taught to undergraduate students, these filters are nonlinear and time variant. This proposal introduces adaptive filtering in the context of a linear time-invariant system using a real problem. In this way, introducing adaptive filters using concepts already familiar to the students motivates their interest through practical application. The key point for this simplification is that the input to the filter is constant so that the adaptive filter becomes linear. Therefore, a …

Progressive transmission of secured images with authentication using decompositions into monovariate functions

2014

International audience; We propose a progressive transmission approach of an image authenticated using an overlapping subimage that can be removed to restore the original image. Our approach is different from most visible water- marking approaches that allow one to later remove the watermark, because the mark is not directly introduced in the two-dimensional image space. Instead, it is rather applied to an equivalent monovariate representation of the image. Precisely, the approach is based on our progressive transmission approach that relies on a modified Kolmogorov spline network, and therefore inherits its advantages: resilience to packet losses during transmis- sion and support of hetero…

From Signal Processing to Machine Learning

2018

This chapter reviews the main landmarks of signal processing in the 20th century from the perspective of algorithmic developments. It focuses on cross‐fertilization with the field of statistical (machine) learning in the last decades. In the 21st century, model and data assumptions as well as algorithmic constraints are no longer valid, and the field of machine‐learning signal processing has erupted, with many successful stories to tell. The chapter also focuses on digital signal processing (DSP), which deals with the analysis of digitized and discrete sampled signals. Machine learning is a branch of computer science and artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data. Mac…

Active learning in digital communications with low-cost software defined radio

2021

Las comunicaciones digitales se enseñan tradicionalmente en sesiones de laboratorio desde un punto de vista teórico, utilizando plataformas de simulación. Sin embargo, el sistema de Acreditación Académica incluye la dimensión de "lo que se espera que los estudiantes sean capaces de hacer", lo que plantea la necesidad de disminuir la brecha entre las sesiones de laboratorio simuladas y un enfoque más práctico y realista. En este trabajo, proponemos una metodología para mejorar el aprendizaje de los aspectos prácticos relacionados con los cursos de Comunicaciones Digitales, así como para aumentar la motivación de los estudiantes, mediante el uso de dispositivos de radio definida por software …

Energy balance in single exposure multispectral sensors

2013

International audience; Recent simulations of multispectral sensors are based on a simple Gaussian model, which includes filters transmittance and substrate absorption. In this paper we want to make the distinction between these two layers. We discuss the balance of energy by channel in multispectral solid state sensors and propose an updated simple Gaussian model to simulate multispectral sensors. Results are based on simulation of typical sensor configurations.

Detection of a reservoir water level using shape similarity metrics

2017

The matching between reservoirs’ water edge and digital elevation model’s (DEM) contour lines allowed determining the water level at the acquisition date of satellite images. A preliminary study was conducted on the Castello dam (Magazzolo Lake), between Alessandria della Rocca and Bivona (Agrigento, south-Italy). The accuracy assessment of the technique was than evaluated from the comparison between classified and reference objects using similarity metrics about the shape, theme, edge and position, through the plugin STEP of open source software GIS. Moreover, an independent GIS technique was implemented to evaluate the water level, based on a distances’ array between existing contour line…

Biological Nutrient Removal Model No. 2 (BNRM2): a general model for wastewater treatment plants

2013

This paper presents the plant-wide model Biological Nutrient Removal Model No. 2 (BNRM2). Since nitrite was not considered in the BNRM1, and this previous model also failed to accurately simulate the anaerobic digestion because precipitation processes were not considered, an extension of BNRM1 has been developed. This extension comprises all the components and processes required to simulate nitrogen removal via nitrite and the formation of the solids most likely to precipitate in anaerobic digesters. The solids considered in BNRM2 are: struvite, amorphous calcium phosphate, hidroxyapatite, newberite, vivianite, strengite, variscite, and calcium carbonate. With regard to nitrogen removal via…

Design and Validation of a FPGA-Based HIL Simulator for Minimum Losses Control of a PMSM

2021

This work examines the FPGA programmable logic platforms applied to minimum losses control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), which represents a flexible solution for the implementation of an advanced digital control algorithm, given their intrinsic parallel structure and the capability to be directly reprogrammable in the field. In particular, design and validation of a FPGA-based Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulator is proposed, by investigating about data format, quantization and discretization effects and other issues arising during the experimental validation of a controller prototype, in order to reduce the embedded software development cycle and test control systems. The…

A influência de fatores psicossociais protetores sobre a incidência de dor dentária

2022

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of protective psychosocial factors on the incidence of dental pain in the last six months among 12-year-old children living in Manaus (AM). METHODS A prospective school-based cohort study was conducted with 210 12-year-old students enrolled in public schools in the eastern zone of Manaus (AM). Students were followed up for two years. Validated questionnaires were used to assess sociodemographic characteristics, protective psychosocial factors, including sense of coherence, social support, and self-esteem at baseline and after two years. Calibrated examiners clinically assessed dental caries and gingival bleeding. Multivariate multilevel Poisso…
