Chaotic dynamics and the role of covariance inflation for reduced rank Kalman filters with model error
The ensemble Kalman filter and its variants have shown to be robust for data assimilation in high dimensional geophysical models, with localization, using ensembles of extremely small size relative to the model dimension. However, a reduced rank representation of the estimated covariance leaves a large dimensional complementary subspace unfiltered. Utilizing the dynamical properties of the filtration for the backward Lyapunov vectors, this paper explores a previously unexplained mechanism, providing a novel theoretical interpretation for the role of covariance inflation in ensemble-based Kalman filters. Our derivation of the forecast error evolution describes the dynamic upwelling of the unfiltered error from outside of the span of the anomalies into the filtered subspace. Analytical results for linear systems explicitly describe the mechanism for the upwelling, and the associated recursive Riccati equation for the forecast error, while nonlinear approximations are explored numerically
Studies in Signal Processing Techniques for Speech Enhancement: A comparative study
Speech enhancement is very essential to suppress the background noise and to increase speech intelligibility and reduce fatigue in hearing. There exist many simple speech enhancement algorithms like spectral subtraction to complex algorithms like Bayesian Magnitude estimators based on Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and its variants. A continuous research is going and new algorithms are emerging to enhance speech signal recorded in the background of environment such as industries, vehicles and aircraft cockpit. In aviation industries speech enhancement plays a vital role to bring crucial information from pilot’s conversation in case of an incident or accident by suppressing engine and other cockpit instrument noises. In this work proposed is a new approach to speech enhancement making use harmonic wavelet transform and Bayesian estimators. The performance indicators, SNR and listening confirms to the fact that newly modified algorithms using harmonic wavelet transform indeed show better results than currently existing methods. Further, the Harmonic Wavelet Transform is computationally efficient and simple to implement due to its inbuilt decimation-interpolation operations compared to those of filter-bank approach to realize sub-bands
Networked fusion estimation with multiple uncertainties and time-correlated channel noise
This paper is concerned with the fusion filtering and fixed-point smoothing problems for a class of networked
systems with multiple random uncertainties in both the sensor outputs and the transmission connections. To deal
with this kind of systems, random parameter matrices are considered in the mathematical models of both the
sensor measurements and the data available after transmission. The additive noise in the transmission channel
from each sensor is assumed to be sequentially time-correlated. By using the time-differencing approach, the
available measurements are transformed into an equivalent set of observations that do not depend on the timecorrelated
noise. The innovation approach is then applied to obtain recursive distributed and centralized fusion
estimation algorithms for the filtering and fixed-point smoothing estimators of the signal based on the transformed
measurements, which are equal to the estimators based on the original ones. The derivation of the algorithms
does not require the knowledge of the signal evolution model, but only the mean and covariance functions of
the processes involved (covariance information). A simulation example illustrates the utility and effectiveness of
the proposed fusion estimation algorithms, as well as the applicability of the current model to deal with different
network-induced random phenomena.This research is supported by Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Agencia Estatal de Investigación and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional FEDER (grant no. MTM2017-84199-P)
Optoelectronic Reservoir Computing
Reservoir computing is a recently introduced, highly efficient bio-inspired
approach for processing time dependent data. The basic scheme of reservoir
computing consists of a non linear recurrent dynamical system coupled to a
single input layer and a single output layer. Within these constraints many
implementations are possible. Here we report an opto-electronic implementation
of reservoir computing based on a recently proposed architecture consisting of
a single non linear node and a delay line. Our implementation is sufficiently
fast for real time information processing. We illustrate its performance on
tasks of practical importance such as nonlinear channel equalization and speech
recognition, and obtain results comparable to state of the art digital
implementations.Comment: Contains main paper and two Supplementary Material
