In this paper, newly developed algorithm for enhancing images corrupted by white gaussian noise is proposed. In the method proposed here, image is subdivided into a number of subblocks, and each block is separated into cimponents corresponding to signal and noise subspaces, respectively through the signal subspace method. A clean signal is then estimated form the signal subspace by the adaptive wiener filtering. The decomposition of noisy signal into noise and signal subspaces in is implemented by eigendecomposition of covariance matrix for noisy image, and by performing blockwise KLT (karhunen loeve transformation) using eigenvector. To reduce the perceptual noise level and distortion, wiener filtering is implementd by adaptively adjusting noise level according to activity characteristics of given block. Simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed method. In particular, edge bluring effects are reduced compared to the previous methods.

Precoder has been shown to be able to provide source diversity and design flexibility. In this paper we employ precoding techniques for block transmission based on a multirate filterbank structure. To accommodate multiuser communication with variable data rates, different precoders with corresponding coefficients and up/down sampling rates are used. However, due to unknown multipath distortion, different interferences may exist in the received data, such as multiuser interference, intersymbol interference and interblock interference. To estimate channel parameters for a desired user, we employ all structured signature waveforms associated with different symbols of that user and apply subspace techniques. Therefore better performance of channel estimator can be achieved than the conventional subspace method based only on the signature of the current symbol. The delay for that user can also be jointly estimated. Channel identifiability conditions and asymptotic channel estimation error are investigated in detail. Numerical examples are provided to justify the proposed method. gest either multicode (MC) or multiple processing gain (MPG) mechanism [2], while requiring data rates to be integral multiples of some basic low-rate. In order to support variable rate transmission however, a comprehensive scheme needs to be investigated.

Many high-resolution algorithms based on the eigen-decomposition analysis of observed covariance matrix, such as MVE, MUSIC, and EVM, have been proposed. However, the resolution of spectral estimates for these algorithms is severely degraded when Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is low and arrival angles of signal are close to each other. And EVM and MUSIC is powerful for the characteristic of SNR. But have the limitation that the number of signals presented is known. While MVE is bad the characteristic of SNR. In this study, we propose a modified MVE to enhance the resolution for Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) estimation of underwater acoustic signal. This is to remove the limitation that existing algorithms should know the information for the number of signals. Because the algorithms founded on the eigen value estimate DOA with only the noise subspace, they have the high-resolution characteristic. And then, with the method reducing the effect of the signal subspace, we are to reduce the degradation because of complementary relationship between the signal subspace and the noise subspace. This paper, with using the simulation data, we have estimated the proposed algorithms, compared it with other high-resolution algorithms. The simulation results show that the modified MVE proposed is accurate and has a better resolution even though SNR is low, under the same condition.

Traditionally, it is not easy to carry out tests to identify modal parameters from existing railway bridges because of the testing conditions and complicated nature of civil structures. A six year (2007-2012) research program was conducted to monitor a group of 25 railway bridges. One of the tasks was to devise guidelines for identifying their modal parameters. This paper presents the experience acquired from such identification. The modal analysis of four representative bridges of this group is reported, which include B5, B15, B20 and B58A, crossing the Caraj$\acute{a}$s railway in northern Brazil using three different excitations sources: drop weight, free vibration after train passage, and ambient conditions. To extract the dynamic parameters from the recorded data, Stochastic Subspace Identification and Frequency Domain Decomposition methods were used. Finite-element models were constructed to facilitate the dynamic measurements. The results show good agreement between the measured and computed natural frequencies and mode shapes. The findings provide some guidelines on methods of excitation, record length of time, methods of modal analysis including the use of projected channel and harmonic detection, helping researchers and maintenance teams obtain good dynamic characteristics from measurement data.

The purpose of this paper is to study a high-performance control scheme for neutral-point-clamping three-level (NPC-3L) inverter fed dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives by considering some asymmetric factors such as the non-identical parameters in phase windings. To implement this, the system model is analyzed for dual three-phase PMSM drives with asymmetric factors based on the vector space decomposition (VSD) principle. Based on the equivalent circuits, PI controllers with feedforward compensation are used in the d-q subspace for regulating torque, where the cut-off frequency of the PI controllers are set at the twice the fundamental frequency for compensating both the additional DC component and the second order component caused by asymmetry. Meanwhile, proportional resonant (PR) controllers are proposed in the x-y subspace for suppressing the possible unbalanced currents in the phase windings. A dual three-phase space vector modulation (DT-SVM) is designed for the drive, and the balancing factor is designed based on the numerical fitting surface for balancing the DC link capacitor voltages. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical analysis and the proposed control scheme.

Nonnegative tensor factorization(NTF) is a recent multiway(multilineal) extension of nonnegative matrix factorization(NMF), where nonnegativity constraints are imposed on the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC model. In this paper we consider the Tucker model with nonnegativity constraints and develop a new tensor factorization method, referred to as nonnegative Tucker decomposition (NTD). We derive multiplicative updating algorithms for various discrepancy measures: least square error function, I-divergence, and $\alpha$-divergence.

Using the most up-to-date system identification methods in both time and frequency domains, the dynamic monitoring data from the reinforced concrete Egebaekvej Bridge near Holte, Denmark, is examined in this investigation. The bridge was erected in the 1960s and was still standing during test campaign before demolishing. The ARTeMIS Modal was adopted to derive the modal parameters from ambient vibration data. Several Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) approaches were applied, including Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD), Curve-fit Frequency Domain Decomposition (CFDD), and Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD). Afterward, Principal Component (SSI-PC), Unweighted Principal Component (SSI-UPC) Stochastic Subspace Identification methods were utilized. Danish engineering consulting company, COWI with the allowance of the bridge contractor BARSLUND, allow the researcher for this experimental test to demonstrate the impact of OMA applications.

System identification is a fundamental step towards the application of structural health monitoring and damage detection techniques. On this respect, the development of evolved identification strategies is a priority for obtaining reliable and repeatable baseline modal parameters of an undamaged structure to be adopted as references for future structural health assessments. The paper presents the identification of the modal parameters of the Guangzhou New Television Tower, China, using a data-driven stochastic subspace identification (SSI-data) approach complemented with an appropriate automatic mode selection strategy which proved to be successful in previous literature studies. This well-known approach is based on a clustering technique which is adopted to discriminate structural modes from spurious noise ones. The method is applied to the acceleration measurements made available within the task I of the ANCRiSST benchmark problem, which cover 24 hours of continuous monitoring of the structural response under ambient excitation. These records are then subdivided into a convenient number of data sets and the variability of modal parameter estimates with ambient temperature and mean wind velocity are pointed out. Both 10 minutes and 1 hour long records are considered for this purpose. A comparison with finite element model predictions is finally carried out, using the structural matrices provided within the benchmark, in order to check that all the structural modes contained in the considered frequency interval are effectively identified via SSI-data.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of ordinary smooth topology on a set X by considering the gradation of openness of ordinary subsets of X. And we obtain the result [Corollary 2.13] : An ordinary smooth topology is fully determined its decomposition in classical topologies. Also we introduce the notion of ordinary smooth [resp. strong and weak] continuity and study some its properties. Also we introduce the concepts of a base and a subbase in an ordinary smooth topological space and study their properties. Finally, we investigate some properties of an ordinary smooth subspace.

This paper presents a subspace system identification for estimating the stiffness matrix and flexural rigidities of a shear building. System matrices are estimated by LQ decomposition and singular value decomposition from an input-output Hankel matrix. The estimated system matrices are converted into a real coordinate through similarity transformation, and the stiffness matrix is estimated from the system matrices. The accuracy and the stability of an estimated stiffness matrix depend on the size of the associated Hankel matrix. The estimation error curve of the stiffness matrix is obtained with respect to the size of a Hankel matrix using a prior finite element model of a shear building. The sizes of the Hankel matrix, which are consistent with a target accuracy level, are chosen through this curve. Among these candidate sizes of the Hankel matrix, more proper one can be determined considering the computational cost of subspace identification. The stiffness matrix and flexural rigidities are estimated using the Hankel matrix with the candidate sizes. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through the numerical example of a five-story shear building model with and without damage.
