A novel Parzen probabilistic neural network based noncoherent detection algorithm for distributed ultra-wideband sensors

Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been widely recommended for significant commercial and military applications. However, the well-derived coherent structures for UWB signal detection are either computationally complex or hardware impractical in the presence of the intensive multipath propagations. In this article, based on the nonparametric Parzen window estimator and the probabilistic neural networks, we suggest a low-complexity and noncoherent UWB detector in the context of distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A novel characteristic spectrum is firstly developed through a sequence of blind signal transforms. Then, from a pattern recognition perspective, four features are extracted from it to fully exploit the inherent property of UWB multipath signals. The established feature space is further mapped into a two-dimensional plane by feature combination in order to simplify algorithm complexity. Consequently, UWB signal detection is formulated to recognize the received patterns in this formed 2-D feature plane. With the excellent capability of fast convergence and parallel implementation, the Parzen Probabilistic Neural Network (PPNN) is introduced to estimate a posteriori probability of the developed patterns. Based on the underlying Bayesian rule of PPNN, the asymptotical optimal decision bound is finally determined in the feature plane. Numerical simulations also validate the advantages of our proposed algorithm.     

A novel approach to annotating web service based on interface concept mapping and semantic expansion

With the rapid development of web service technology in these years, traditional standards have been matured during the process of service registry and discovery. However, it is difficult for service requesters to discover satisfactory web services. The reason for this phenomenon is that the traditional service organization mode lacks semantic understanding ability for service function interface. This paper proposes a novel approach to annotating web services. We first adopt domain ontology as a semantic context, and give our general framework of service semantic annotation. Then, interface concept mapping algorithm and service interface expansion algorithm are respectively presented in detail. Finally, the generation process of semantic web service repository is presented based on preceding algorithms. Simulation experiment results demonstrate that annotated web services by the proposed method can more satisfy requirements for service requesters than traditional ones by service matchmaking engine. It can get better service discovery effectiveness.

Passive location of the nonlinear systems with fuzzy uncertainty

With the merits such as hiding receiving, easy-deploying and high security, passive location has attracted more and more attention and plays an important role in fields as diverse as navigation, location, and tracking, etc. However, the current filters models for passive location methods are most under the framework of the probability theory, thus they can not estimate the state in some passive location with fuzzy uncertainty accurately. Although the fuzzy extended Kalman filter (FEKF) can deal with the fuzzy uncertainty, it unavoidably introduces truncation error. In this paper, based on the FEKF and the iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF) principle, a new fuzzy passive location model is built, and moreover, an iterated fuzzy extended Kalman filter (IFEKF) is proposed for estimating the target state. Compared to the FEKF and the IEKF, the proposed algorithm can not only reduce the truncation error, but also deal with fuzzy uncertainty. Moreover, it is proved that the IFEKF update is an application of the Gauss–Newton method. Then, a fuzzy passive location algorithm is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach has better estimation precision than the traditional fuzzy extended Kalman filter.

Directed searching optimization algorithm for constrained optimization problems

A directed searching optimization algorithm (DSO) is proposed to solve constrained optimization problems in this paper. The proposed algorithm includes two important operations — position updating and genetic mutation. Position updating enables the non-best solution vectors to mimic the best one, which is beneficial to the convergence of the DSO; genetic mutation can increase the diversity of individuals, which is beneficial to preventing the premature convergence of the DSO. In addition, we adopt the penalty function method to balance objective and constraint violations. We can obtain satisfactory solutions for constrained optimization problems by combining the DSO and the penalty function method. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can be an efficient alternative on solving constrained optimization problems.     

Effects of the number of hidden nodes used in a structured-based neural network on the reliability of image classification

A structured-based neural network (NN) with backpropagation through structure (BPTS) algorithm is conducted for image classification in organizing a large image database, which is a challenging problem under investigation. Many factors can affect the results of image classification. One of the most important factors is the architecture of a NN, which consists of input layer, hidden layer and output layer. In this study, only the numbers of nodes in hidden layer (hidden nodes) of a NN are considered. Other factors are kept unchanged. Two groups of experiments including 2,940 images in each group are used for the analysis. The assessment of the effects for the first group is carried out with features described by image intensities, and, the second group uses features described by wavelet coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate that the effects of the numbers of hidden nodes on the reliability of classification are significant and non-linear. When the number of hidden nodes is 17, the classification rate on training set is up to 95%, and arrives at 90% on the testing set. The results indicate that 17 is an appropriate choice for the number of hidden nodes for the image classification when a structured-based NN with BPTS algorithm is applied.
