The affine projection algorithm(APA) is a better alternative than normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm in EC applications where the input signal is highly correlated. Since the APA with a constant step-size has to make compromise between the performance criteria 1) and 2), a variable step-size APA(VSS-APA) provides a more reliable solution. A nonparametric VSS-APA(NPVSS-APA) is proposed by recovering the background noise within the error signal instead of cancelling the a posteriori errors. The most problematic term of its variable step-size formula is the value of background noise power(BNP). The power difference between the desired signal and output signal, which equals the power of error signal statistically, has been considered the BNP estimate in a rough manner. Considering that the error signal consists of background noise and misalignment noise, a precise BNP estimate is achieved by multiplying the rough estimate with a corrective factor. After the analysis on the power ratio of misalignment noise to background noise of APA, the corrective factor is formulated depending on the projection order and the latest value of variable step-size. The new algorithm which does not require any a priori knowledge of EC environment has the advantage of easier controllability in practical application. The simulation results in the EC context indicate the accuracy of the proposed BNP estimate and the more effective behavior of the proposed algorithm compared with other versions of APA class.展开更多

Considering that the error signal consists of background noise and misalignment noise, a precise BNP estimate is achieved by multiplying the rough estimate with a corrective factor. After the analysis on the power ratio of misalignment noise to background noise of APA, the corrective factor is formulated depending on the projection order and the latest value of variable step-size. The new algorithm which does not require any a priori knowledge of EC environment has the advantage of easier controllability in practical application. The simulation results in the EC context indicate the accuracy of the proposed BNP estimate and the more effective behavior of the proposed algorithm compared with other versions of APA class.
文摘目的:采用3.0 T MRI非对称回波的最小二乘估算法迭代水脂分离(IDEAL-IQ)技术测量成人腮腺脂肪分数(FF)值,评估其与年龄的相关性。方法:回顾性分析行常规头颈部MRI检查的女性患者120例,分为4组:18~44岁为青年组,45~59岁为中年组,60~74岁为年轻老年组,75~89岁为高龄老年组,每组各30例。测量4组双侧腮腺FF值,比较各组左侧与右侧腮腺FF值的差异,以及各组间BMI、FF值的差异,并评估FF值与年龄及BMI的相关性。结果:4组左侧与右侧腮腺FF值差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。4组双侧腮腺平均FF值两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.001);BMI两两比较,差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。腮腺FF值与年龄呈正相关(r=0.443,P<0.001)。结论:成人双侧腮腺脂肪含量不存在差异,腮腺脂肪含量与年龄增长显著相关,在研究干燥综合征时应综合考虑腮腺脂肪含量的增龄性变化。
文摘针对传统稀疏系统辨识算法对测量噪声和调谐参数敏感的问题,提出了一种全范围零吸引最小均方(full-range zero-attracting least mean square,FZA-LMS)稀疏系统辨识算法。该算法能够有效处理零吸引范围内的近零系数和小系数,进一步优化零吸引范围外的大系数,降低稳态均方误差(mean square deviation,MSD),提升收敛速度,增强对调谐参数和测量噪声的鲁棒性。仿真实验结果表明,与传统稀疏系统辨识算法相比,提出的算法在稀疏声学回声信道下表现出更低的稳态MSD,对调谐参数和测量噪声具有更强的鲁棒性。针对水声信道估计场景下的复数信道,进一步提出了算法的复数形式。实验结果表明,在该场景下,复数形式算法相较于其他算法具有更优越的性能表现。
