چکیده

Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is an important technique for the time-frequency analysis of a time varying signal. The basic approach behind it involves the application of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to a signal multiplied with an appropriate window function with fixed resolution. The selection of an appropriate window size is difficult when no background information about the input signal is known. In this paper, a novel empirical model is proposed that adaptively adjusts the window size for a narrow band-signal using spectrum sensing technique. For wide-band signals, where a fixed time-frequency resolution is undesirable, the approach adapts the constant Q transform (CQT). Unlike the STFT, the CQT provides a varying time-frequency resolution. This results in a high spectral resolution at low frequencies and high temporal resolution at high frequencies. In this paper, a simple but effective switching framework is provided between both STFT and CQT. The proposed method also allows for the dynamic construction of a filter bank according to user-defined parameters. This helps in reducing redundant entries in the filter bank. Results obtained from the proposed method not only improve the spectrogram visualization but also reduce the computation cost and achieves 87.71% of the appropriate window length selection.

Projection Based Adaptive Window Size Selection for Efficient Motion Estimation in H.264/AVC

This paper introduces a block based motion estimation algorithm based on projection with adaptive window size selection. The blocks cannot match well if their corresponding 1D projection does not match well, with this as foundation 2D block matching problem is translated to a simpler 1D matching, which eliminates majority of potential pixel participation. This projection method is combined with...

A Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network

Abstract   Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...

Measuring Time-Frequency Distributions Concentration

Efficient measurement of time-frequency distributions (TFDs) concentration can provide a quantitative criterion for evaluation of various distributions performance. It can be used for adaptive and automatic parameter selection in time-frequency analysis, without supervision of a user. Measures for distribution concentration of monocomponent signals date back to [3], [8]. For more complex signal...

Improved Spectral Analysis Using Waveform-Aligned Adaptive Windows

We propose a new pipeline for the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) of harmonic signals based on adapting the analysis window size to the period of the harmonic signal. Pitch estimation is used to find $f_0$, and resampling ensures a window size as close as possible to a period which reduces spectral leakage almost to zero. The result is a highly accurate spectral representation with location...
