Two stage blind dereverberation based on stochastic models of speech and reverberation
Kavruk, Mehmet; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Distant speech processing is popular nowadays due to wide use of the hands-free communication with smart devices. The quality of microphone signals in an enclosed area is degraded by environmental noise and reverberation in distant speech communication. Although there are powerful denoising algorithms in the literature, there is no robust dereverberation method which works independent of recording conditions. This work proposes a statistical model based blind dereverberation algorithm which suppresses rever...
Two way split step parabolic equation algorithm for tropospheric propagation Tests and comparisons
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; APAYDIN, GÖKHAN; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; SEVGİ, LEVENT (2010-08-25)
This paper introduces a two-way split-step parabolic equation propagation tool (2W-SSPE), which is capable of handling both forward and backward scattered waves during groundwave propagation over an irregular terrain, through inhomogeneous atmosphere. The algorithm is calibrated and tested against reference data obtained with the help of image method and the Geometric Optic (GO) + Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD).
Two step feature selection: Approximate functional dependency approach using membership values
Uncu, O; Turksen, IB (2004-07-29)
Feature selection is one of the most important issues in fields such as system modelling and pattern recognition. In this study, a new feature selection algorithm that combines feature wrapper and feature filter approaches is proposed in order to identify the significant input variables in systems with continuous domains. The proposed method utilizes functional dependency concept and K-Nearest Neighbourhood method to implement the feature filter and feature wrapper, respectively. It is common to have outlie...
Two dimensional modeling of electromagnetic radiation and scattering by spectral element method
Mahariq, İbrahim; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014)
In this thesis, the spectral element method is utilized in numerical modeling of two-dimensional, frequency-domain electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems. We perform domain truncation by the well-known perfectly matched layer (PML) and provide the corresponding formulation. The attenuation factor associated with the PML formulation is optimized so that the best accuracy is achieved for a wide range of Gauss- Legendre -Lobatto grids per wavelength. The optimality of the provided attenuation factor...
Two-way Fourier Split Step Algorithm over Variable Terrain with Narrow and Wide Angle Propagators
Ozgun, Ozlem; Apaydin, Gökhan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Sevgi, Levent (2010-07-17)
Helmholtz's wave equation can be approximated by means of two differential equations, corresponding to forward and backward propagating waves each of which is in parabolic wave equation (PWE) form. The standard PWE is very suitable for marching-type numerical solutions. The one-way Fourier split-step parabolic equation algorithm (SSPE) is highly effective in modeling electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation above the Earth's irregular surface through inhomogeneous atmosphere. The two drawbacks of the standard ...
