The mean squared error of the classical maximum likelihood time-of-flight (ToF) estimator increases dramatically when the signal-to-noise ratio falls below a certain threshold. For narrow-band signals, this well-known threshold effect occurs largely due to the biased outliers which are induced by the local maxima of the source signal autocorrelation function. In our previous work (Part I), we have...Show More

Self-calibration methods play an important role in reducing the negative effects of array imperfections during direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. However, the dependence of most such methods on the eigenstructure techniques greatly degrades their adaptation to demanding scenarios, such as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and limited snapshots. This paper aims at formulating a unified framework ...Show More
Most image registration problems are formulated in an asymmetric fashion. Given a pair of images, one is implicitly or explicitly regarded as a template and warped onto the other to match as well as possible. In this paper, we focus on this seemingly arbitrary choice of the roles and reveal how it may lead to biased warp estimates in the presence of relative scaling. We present a principled way of...Show More
The time-of-flight (ToF) estimation problem is common in sonar, ultrasound, radar, and other remote sensing applications. The conventional ToF maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) exhibits a rapid deterioration in the accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) falls below a certain threshold. This threshold effect emerges mostly due to appearance of outliers associated with the side lobes in the ...Show More
MIMO schemes are applied in automotive radar to improve resolution and SNR performance. Practically relevant use cases, which typically require high-resolution angle estimation, include horizontal or vertical multipath. In these situations, the standard two-target model is not valid anymore when MIMO schemes are employed, and model-based angle estimation needs to be extended. We present signal mod...Show More
Quantum parameter estimation is of fundamental importance in physics. Quantum resources, involving for instance entangled probes, offer a significant improvement in estimation precision over classical strategies for closed quantum systems. However, when noises such as decoherence are taken into account, the quantum gain may be jeopardized. In this paper, we show how the amplitude-damping decoheren...Show More
This paper focuses on the distributed iterative parameter estimation scheme, based on the consensus averaging algorithm, for estimating an unknown parameter from the noisy measurements. A new spatio-temporal adaptive algorithm, called the Consensus Averaging-based Adaptive Estimation Fusion (CA-AEF) algorithm is proposed, which accelerates the convergence rate of the current distributed iterative ...Show More

The theoretical accuracy of baseline winds, estimated using spaced antennas (SA) and a full correlation analysis (FCA) method to process signals in the presence of noise, is derived assuming horizontally isotropic refractive index perturbations with a horizontal scale small compared to the transmitting antenna diameter D. This performance of the FCA method is compared with the theoretical performa...Show More

This paper presents a regularized least square algorithm for Wiener system identification by using bilinear parameterized formulation. This method is based on the decomposition of model form and assumes the invertibility of the non-linearity involved in the modeling of wiener model. In addition, the output of the linear block is corrupted with noise signal resulting in a model with correlated nois...Show More
Our study is concerned with the narrow-band radio signals phase estimation when these signals are deformed by fades and observed against white noise. Unlike the approach presented in the popular studies, we presume these fades to be fast, i.e. the fades correlation time is much less than the signal duration. We also consider the amplitude and the phase of the fading signal component as having Rayl...Show More
As contemporary software-intensive systems reach increasingly large scale, it is imperative that failure detection schemes be developed to help prevent costly system downtimes. A promising direction towards the construction of such schemes is the exploitation of easily available measurements of system performance characteristics such as average number of processed requests and queue size per unit ...Show More
This paper studies methods for space-time adaptive processing-based (STAP-based) parameter estimation in the presence of impulsive noise backgrounds. Towards this goal, the theory of alpha-stable random processes provides an elegant and mathematically tractable framework for the solution of the detection and parameter estimation problems in the presence of impulsive radar clutter. We develop joint...Show More
This paper presents a new, robust algorithm for parameter estimation in the presence of unknown nuisance parameters. The proposed algorithm is based on a decomposition of the data into subspaces characterized by their sensitivities to the errors in the nuisance parameters. The importance of this decomposition is that it isolates a subspace of the data which is not a function of the unknown nuisanc...Show More
Electromechanical modes are inherent to any interconnected power systems which provide a measure of the small-signal stability margin of the system. A number of algorithms have been developed for the estimation of these modes using synchrophasor measurements. However, most of these algorithms are not designed to operate in the presence of forced oscillations (FO). These FOs are results of periodic...Show More
A robust sensor bias estimation approach, named as the ridge least trimmed squares (RLTS), is proposed. Combing the advantages of ridge regression and least trimmed squares, RLTS can solve the sensor bias estimation problem with the presence of misassociations and ill-conditioning. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Show More
This paper presents longitudinal and lateral velocity estimators by considering the effect of the suspension compliance (SC) at each corner (tire) for ground vehicles. The estimators are developed to be resilient to sensor measurement inaccuracies, model and tire parameter uncertainties, switchings in observer gains, and measurement failures. More particularly, the stability of the observer is inv...Show More

Over the last few years, rooftop solar PV system receives high interest due to its rapid cost reduction. Nowadays, installing the rooftop solar PV can help reduce overall electricity bill of the owner throughout the lifetime of the system. However, in some countries including Thailand, selling large amount of power output from the rooftop solar PV to the grid may not be allowed, due to the strict ...Show More
In CHES 2007, Bogdanov et al. proposed an ultra-lightweight block cipher named PRESENT, which has been included in the new international standard ISO/IEC 29192-2:2012. The correlation power analysis (CPA) attack against PRESENT is discussed in this paper. The first power analysis attack against the hardware implementation of PRESENT has been proposed by Zhang et al. in 2010. In this paper, we prop...Show More
Built-operate-transfer (BOT) is becoming an increasingly popular option of project delivery, and the concession period is a key decision faced by both the government and private investor. Therefore, this paper aims to optimize the concession period in the BOT project by using net present value (NPV). Due to the difficulties in estimating the long-term uncertainties, this paper develops a Monte Car...Show More

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Year: 2013 | Volume: 431, Issue: 1 | Journal Article |
We present new methods for lensing reconstruction from CMB temperature fluctuations which have smaller mean-field and reconstruction noise bias corrections than current lensing estimators, with minimal loss of signal to noise. These biases are usually corrected using Monte Carlo simulations, and to the extent that these simulations do not perfectly mimic the underlying sky, there are uncertainties...Show More
