This work aims to understand and model the inter-modal temporal relations between the audio and visual modalities of speech and validate whether the captured relations can improve the performance of audio-visual bimodal modeling for such applications as audio-visual speaker identification. We propose to extend our audio-visual correlative model (AVCM) with explicit durational modeling of the pa...

In recent years, many researchers have made a lot of works and achieved remarkable results. The system effect distance is deduced from different aspects in [1, 2]. Target range is obtained based on the target movement model in [3]. [4] studies the passive ranging of ground target in mono-static and single band condition based on radiance difference between target and background. Ranging express...

Abstract Cooperative diversity improves the performance of wireless networks by having several nodes transmit the same information. We present an outage probability analysis for a decode-and-forward system, valid at all signal to noise ratios (SNR). A closed form solution is obtained for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) channels, and two tight lower bounds are presented for corr...

Image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (BM3D) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. Similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-D blocks for 3-D transform filtering. In this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...
