- ItemObjective Evaluation Criteria for Shooting Quality of Stereo Cameras over Short Distance(Společnost pro radioelektronické inženýrství, 2015-04) Liu, Yun; Yang, Jiachen; Chu, RongrongStereo cameras are the basic tools used to obtain stereoscopic image pairs, which can lead to truly great image quality. However, some inappropriate shooting conditions may cause discomfort while viewing stereo images. It is therefore considerably necessary to establish the perceptual criteria that can be used to evaluate the shooting quality of stereo cameras. This article proposes objective quality evaluation criteria based on the characteristics of parallel and toed-in camera configurations. Considering the different internal structures and basic shooting principles, this paper focuses on short-distance shooting conditions and establishes assessment criteria for both parallel and toed-in camera configurations. Experimental results show that the proposed evaluation criteria can predict the visual perception of stereoscopic images and effectively evaluate stereoscopic image quality.
- ItemARQ Protocols in Cognitive Decode-and-Forward Relay Networks: Opportunities Gain(Společnost pro radioelektronické inženýrství, 2015-04) Zhang, Zongsheng; Wu, Qihui; Wang, JinlongIn this paper, two novel automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) based protocols were proposed, which exploit coop- eration opportunity inherent in secondary retransmission to create access opportunities. If the signal was not decoded correctly in destination, another user can be acted as a relay to reduce retransmission rounds by relaying the signal. For comparison, we also propose a Direct ARQ Protocol. Specif- ically, we derive the exact closed-form outage probability of three protocols, which provides an effective means to evalu- ate the effects of several parameters. Moreover, we propose a new metric to evaluate the performance improvement for cognitive networks. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations were presented to validate the theory analysis, and a comparison is made among the three protocols.
- ItemA New MCMC Sampling Based Segment Model for Radar Target Recognition(Společnost pro radioelektronické inženýrství, 2015-04) Hadavi, Mahdi; Radmard, Mojtaba; Nayebi, Mohammad MahdiOne of the main tools in radar target recognition is high resolution range profile (HRRP). However, it is very sensitive to the aspect angle. One solution to this problem is to assume the consecutive samples of HRRP identically independently distributed (IID) in small frames of aspect angles, an assumption which is not true in reality. However, based on this assumption, some models have been developed to characterize the sequential information contained in the multi-aspect radar echoes. Therefore, they only consider the short dependency between consecutive samples. Here, we propose an alternative model, the segment model, to address the shortcomings of these assumptions. In addition, using a Markov chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) based Gibbs sampler as an iterative approach to estimate the parameters of the segment model, we will show that the proposed method is able to estimate the parameters with quite satisfying accuracy and computational load.
- ItemJoint Dynamic Radio Resource Allocation and Mobility Load Balancing in 3GPP LTE Multi-Cell Network(Společnost pro radioelektronické inženýrství, 2015-04) Li, Feng; Geng, Lina; Zhu, ShihuaLoad imbalance, together with inefficient utilization of system resource, constitute major factors responsible for poor overall performance in Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. In this paper, a novel scheme of joint dynamic resource allocation and load balancing is proposed to achieve a balanced performance improvement in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE Self-Organizing Networks (SON). The new method which aims at maximizing network resource efficiency subject to inter-cell interference and intra-cell resource constraints is implemented in two steps. In the first step, an efficient resource allocation, including user scheduling and power assignment, is conducted in a distributed manner to serve as many users in the whole network as possible. In the second step, based on the resource allocation scheme, the optimization objective namely network resource efficiency can be calculated and load balancing is implemented by switching the user that can maximize the objective function. Lagrange Multipliers method and heuristic algorithm are used to resolve the formulated optimization problem. Simulation results show that our algorithm achieves better performance in terms of user throughput, fairness, load balancing index and unsatisfied user number compared with the traditional approach which takes resource allocation and load balancing into account, respectively.
- ItemISI Cancellation Using Blind Equalizer Based on DBC Model for MIMO-RFID Reader Reception(Společnost pro radioelektronické inženýrství, 2015-04) Duangsuwan, Sarun; Promwong, SathapornUnder the dyadic backscatter channel (DBC) model, a conventional zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) method for MIMO-RFID reader reception are not able to be rapidly cancelled inter-symbol interference (ISI) because of the error of postpreamble transmission. In order to achieve the ISI cancellation, the conventional method of ZF and MMSE are proposed to resolve a convergence rate without postpreamble by using a constant modulus algorithm (CMA). Depending on the cost function, the CMA is used which based on second order statistics to estimate the channel statement of channel transfer function. Furthermore, the multiple-tag detection is also considered under the assumption of the maximum likelihood estimation. The comparison of the conventional method and the proposed method is analyzed by using computer simulation and experimental data. We can see that the proposed method is better than the conventional method with a faster ISI cancelling and a lower bit error rate (BER) improving as up to 12 tags.
