AbstractRecently, deep neural network (DNN) studies on direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimations have attracted more and more attention. This new method gives an alternative way to deal with DOA problem and has successfully shown its potential application. However, these works are often restricted to previously known signal number, same signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or large intersignal angular distance, which will hinder their generalization in real application. In this paper, we present a novel DNN framework that realizes higher resolution and better generalization to random signal number and SNR. Simulation results outperform that of previous works and reach the state of the art.

A novel MUSIC-type algorithm is derived in this paper for the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in a bistatic MIMO radar. Through rearranging the received signal matrix, we illustrate that the DOD and the DOA can be separately estimated. Compared with conventional MUSIC-type algorithms, the proposed separate MUSIC algorithm can avoid the interference between DOD and DOA estimations effectively. Therefore, it is expected to give a better angle estimation performance and have a much lower computational complexity. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that our method is also effective for coherent targets in MIMO radar. Simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed method, particularly when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low and/or the number of snapshots is small.

Array sensors are widely used in various fields such as radar, wireless communications, autonomous vehicle applications, medical imaging, and astronomical observations fault diagnosis. Array signal processing is accomplished with a beam pattern which is produced by the signal's amplitude and phase at each element of array. The beam pattern can get rigorously distorted in case of failure of array element and effect its Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) badly. This paper proposes on a Hybrid Neural Network layer weight Goal Attain Optimization (HNNGAO) method to generate a recovery beam pattern which closely resembles the original beam pattern with remaining elements in the array. The proposed HNNGAO method is compared with classic synthesize beam pattern goal attain method and failed beam pattern generated in MATLAB environment. The results obtained proves that the proposed HNNGAO method gives better SNR ratio with remaining working element in linear array compared to classic goal attain method alone.

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is an important topic due to its capacity to solve the issue of the hidden terminal. However, the sensing performance of CSS is still poor, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) situations. In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNN) are considered to extract the features of the observed signal and, as a consequence, improve the sensing performance. More specifically, a novel two-dimensional dataset of the received signal is established and three classical CNN (LeNet, AlexNet and VGG-16)-based CSS schemes are trained and analyzed on the proposed dataset. In addition, sensing performance comparisons are made between the proposed CNN-based CSS schemes and the AND, OR, majority voting-based CSS schemes. The simulation results state that the sensing accuracy of the proposed schemes is greatly improved and the network depth helps with this.

Brushstrokes are viewed as the artist’s “handwriting” in a painting. In many applications such as style learning and transfer, mimicking painting, and painting authentication, it is highly desired to quantitatively and accurately identify brushstroke characteristics from old masters’ pieces using computer programs. However, due to the nature of hundreds or thousands of intermingling brushstrokes in the painting, it still remains challenging. This article proposes an efficient algorithm for brush Stroke extraction based on a Deep neural network, i.e., DStroke. Compared to the state-of-the-art research, the main merit of the proposed DStroke is to automatically and rapidly extract brushstrokes from a painting without manual annotation, while accurately approximating the real brushstrokes with high reliability. Herein, recovering the faithful soft transitions between brushstrokes is often ignored by the other methods. In fact, the details of brushstrokes in a master piece of painting (e.g., shapes, colors, texture, overlaps) are highly desired by artists since they hold promise to enhance and extend the artists’ powers, just like microscopes extend biologists’ powers. To demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed DStroke, we perform it on a set of real scans of paintings and a set of synthetic paintings, respectively. Experiments show that the proposed DStroke is noticeably faster and more accurate at identifying and extracting brushstrokes, outperforming the other methods.

This paper proposes an improved acquisition method for high-order binary-offset-carrier (BOC) modulated signals based on fractal geometry. We introduced the principle of our acquisition method, and outlined its framework. We increase the main peak to side peaks ratio in the BOC autocorrelation function (ACF), with a simple fractal geometry transform. The proposed scheme is applicable to both generic high-order sine-and cosine-phased BOC-modulated signals. Simulation results show that the proposed method increases output signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Setting up artificial neural networks using iterative algorithms is accompanied by fluctuations in weight coefficients. When an artificial neural network solves the problem of allocating a useful signal against the background of interference, fluctuations in the weight vector lead to a deterioration of the useful signal allocated by the network and, in particular, losses in the output signal-to-noise ratio. The goal of the research is to perform a statistical analysis of an artificial neural network, that includes analysis of losses in the output signal-to-noise ratio associated with fluctuations in the weight coefficients of an artificial neural network. We considered artificial neural networks that are configured using discrete gradient, fast recurrent algorithms with restrictions, and the Hebb algorithm. It is shown that fluctuations lead to losses in the output signal/noise ratio, the level of which depends on the type of algorithm under consideration and the speed of setting up an artificial neural network. Taking into account the fluctuations of the weight vector in the analysis of the output signal-to-noise ratio allows us to correlate the permissible level of loss in the output signal-to-noise ratio and the speed of network configuration corresponding to this level when working with an artificial neural network.
