Time-warping estimation via stationarity-based learning of the de-warped signal

Time-warping estimation is a fundamental problem in signal processing with applications in bioacoustics, radar, and biomedical analysis. This paper introduces a Time-Warping Estimation Trainable (TWET) model for estimating timewarping functions from a single observation. The proposed approach formulates time-warping estimation as a stationarization problem in the wavelet domain and leverages a hierarchical dilated convolutional architecture to estimate the time-warping functions. A differentiable stationarity criterion is introduced for end-to-end optimization. TWET is compared with existing approaches. Experimental results show improved deformation reconstruction accuracy together with significantly reduced computation time, making the framework compatible with low-latency applications.

Reduced-Complexity Model Selection and Rate Allocation for Multiple-Model Electrical Signal Compression

This paper adapts a Multiple-Model Coding (MMC) approach for sampled electrical signal waveforms to satisfy reconstructed signal quality constraints. The baseline MMC approach consists of two stages processing vectors of Voltage and Current Signal (VCS) of constant size and producing bitstreams of constant rate but varying quality. In the proposed approach, the parametric model and the rate allocated to the first stage, as well as the residual compression method of the second stage and its associated rate, are jointly optimized to achieve a target distortion of the reconstructed signal. Three approaches are proposed. An exhaustive search serves as a baseline for comparison. Then, an approach involving a Golden Section search is exploited to determine the rate of the first stage with reduced complexity. Finally, rate-distortion models of the compression efficiency for each model in the first stage are employed to obtain a subset of promising models in the first stage and reduced-size search intervals for the rate selection in both stages. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed reduced-complexity MMC approach reduces the rate for a given distortion constraint compared to state-of-the-art solutions for VCS with equivalent complexity.
