The influence of operational amplifier topology on audiosignal quality

The thesis describes different between any signal and audio signal from the used amplifier´s quality point of view. There are mentioned ways of origin of distortions and their effect on the audio signal quality. There is also described in detail the principal of operational amplifier, it´s circuit realization and ways to improve the circuit topology in order to reach the best qualities. Choice of parts used for discreet realization of operational amplifier is consulted. Last but not least the thesis contents the practical part, stating the reasons for realization of operational amplifiers from discreet parts and also describing two most commonly used topologies of operational amplifiers. Their discreet version is designed and there are compared the different between the manufacturer’s data and the data measured during the simulation

Blurred Palmprint Recognition Based on Stable-Feature Extraction Using a Vese–Osher Decomposition Model

<div><p>As palmprints are captured using non-contact devices, image blur is inevitably generated because of the defocused status. This degrades the recognition performance of the system. To solve this problem, we propose a stable-feature extraction method based on a Vese–Osher (VO) decomposition model to recognize blurred palmprints effectively. A Gaussian defocus degradation model is first established to simulate image blur. With different degrees of blurring, stable features are found to exist in the image which can be investigated by analyzing the blur theoretically. Then, a VO decomposition model is used to obtain structure and texture layers of the blurred palmprint images. The structure layer is stable for different degrees of blurring (this is a theoretical conclusion that needs to be further proved via experiment). Next, an algorithm based on weighted robustness histogram of oriented gradients (WRHOG) is designed to extract the stable features from the structure layer of the blurred palmprint image. Finally, a normalized correlation coefficient is introduced to measure the similarity in the palmprint features. We also designed and performed a series of experiments to show the benefits of the proposed method. The experimental results are used to demonstrate the theoretical conclusion that the structure layer is stable for different blurring scales. The WRHOG method also proves to be an advanced and robust method of distinguishing blurred palmprints. The recognition results obtained using the proposed method and data from two palmprint databases (PolyU and Blurred–PolyU) are stable and superior in comparison to previous high-performance methods (the equal error rate is only 0.132%). In addition, the authentication time is less than 1.3 s, which is fast enough to meet real-time demands. Therefore, the proposed method is a feasible way of implementing blurred palmprint recognition.</p></div
