A simplified adaptive feedback active noise control system

In the adaptive feedback active noise control system based on the internal model control (IMC) structure, the reference signal is regenerated by synthesizing the error signal and the secondary signal filtered with the estimation of the secondary path, hence more computation load and extra programming are required. Motivated by the engineering truth that the primary noise cannot be completely cancelled in most practical active noise control applications and the error signal still contains some portions of the primary noise, a simplified adaptive feedback active noise control system is proposed in this paper, which adopts the error signal directly as the reference signal in an adaptive feedforward control system and utilizes the leaky filtered-x LMS algorithm to update the controller. The convergence properties of the proposed system are investigated and its advantages are discussed by comparing with other feedback control systems as well as the weakness. Finally, simulations and experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.     

Eigenvalue equalization filtered-x algorithm for the multichannel active noise control of stationary and nonstationary signals

The FXLMS algorithm, which is extensively used in active noise control, exhibits frequency dependent convergence behavior. This leads to degraded performance for time-varying and multiple frequency signals. A new algorithm called the eigenvalue equalization filtered-x least mean squares (EE-FXLMS) has been developed to overcome this limitation without increasing the computational burden of the controller. The algorithm is easily implemented for either single or multichannel control. The magnitude coefficients of the secondary path transfer function estimate are altered while preserving the phase. For a reference signal that has the same magnitude at all frequencies, the secondary path estimate is given a flat response over frequency. For a reference signal that contains tonal components of unequal magnitudes, the magnitude coefficients of the secondary path are adjusted to be the inverse magnitude of the reference tones. Both modifications reduce the variation in the eigenvalues of the filtered-x autocorrelation matrix and lead to increased performance. Experimental results show that the EE-FXLMS algorithm provides 3.5-4.4 dB additional attenuation at the error sensor compared to normal FXLMS control. The EE-FXLMS algorithm's convergence rate at individual frequencies is faster and more uniform than the normal FXLMS algorithm with several second improvement being seen in some cases.     

存在声反馈的前馈有源噪声控制系统性能分析

在一些应用场合,前馈有源噪声控制系统中次级源产生的声信号会反馈至参考传声器,影响参考信号质量和系统稳定,导致控制性能下降。引入了等效次级路径的概念,并通过等效次级路径与实际路径的相位偏差分析存在声反馈时的收敛性能。若某些频率的相位偏差大于90°,则这些频率附近将较难收敛,降噪性能下降,甚至导致系统不稳定。通过仿真和实验对单指向传声器声学方法、自适应滤波u型最小均方差(FuLMS)算法、反馈中和算法和在线建模算法共4种解决声反馈问题的方法的性能进行了比较。结果表明,4种方法都能提高存在声反馈时的前馈有源噪声控制系统的性能,有效解决声反馈引起的问题,但各有优缺点。单指向传声器方法最为方便,但低频指向性较差。FuLMS算法运算量较低,但不能保证收敛。反馈中和算法性能最好,但当系统时变时鲁棒性较差。在线建模算法不需要额外滤波器,但由于参数调节复杂,降噪性能稍差。

在前馈有源噪声控制系统中,建模信号与控制信号相互影响,建模信号的引入会导致系统降噪性能变差。为了减小建模信号的影响,提出一种基于能量比调控的次级通道在线建模有源噪声控制算法。利用控制过程与建模过程的误差能量比构造步长调控函数,分别调节控制过程与建模过程的步长值,从而减弱两者的相互影响。在次级通道建模过程中,对建模步长值采取分段调控的方法,并通过建模步长值的变化来调节建模信号,从而提升系统降噪性能。仿真结果表明,对于低频噪声信号的有源噪声控制,相比已有算法,提出的算法能获得较快的建模收敛速度和较高的降噪量。     

Active control of transformer noise with an internally synthesized reference signal

A method of using an internally synthesized signal of preset frequencies as the reference signal for transformer noise control is proposed in this paper. The feasibility of applying the method in a specific transformer algorithm is investigated, where the effects of frequency mismatch and secondary path delay on the steady-state behavior of the transformer algorithm are analyzed and compared with the filtered-x least mean square algorithm. It is found that the noise reduction performance degrades with the increase of secondary path delay and frequency mismatch, but can be improved by using a larger convergence step size and a faster update rate. With parameter studies, the feasibility of applying the transformer algorithm with an internally synthesized reference signal to practical transformer noise control is verified by both numerical simulations and experiments.     

基于ICA的X射线医学图像目标提取

X射线医学成像能观察到患者体内病变组织,对医学诊断有重要参考价值。针对传统医学X射线图像噪声强、层次感差和器官组织重叠的问题,提出利用多能谱X射线成像结合独立成分分析(independent component analysis, ICA)进行图像去噪和目标提取。首先ICA结合稀疏编码收缩法对图像降噪预处理以保证目标提取精度;然后根据图像中各目标组成特性,分离图像中每个像素对应的目标厚度矩阵;最后ICA以盲分离理论获得收敛矩阵重建出目标对象。在ICA算法中,借助于主观评价标准,发现当收敛次数大于40时目标分离成功;当幅值尺度在[25, 45]区间内,目标图像对比度高且失真较小。同时,通过观测实验得到的三维峰值信噪比图表明：ICA算法中收敛次数和幅值对图像质量有较大影响,当重建图像的对比度和边缘信息均达到较好效果时,收敛次数与幅值为85和35。     

调节水床效应的双梯度有源噪声控制自适应算法*

为了使自适应反馈有源噪声控制系统能够兼顾水床效应,通过约束次级信号的能量以调节噪声放大,设计了一种双梯度算法。当次级信号满足约束,算法沿着最小化误差信号能量的梯度方向迭代,反之,则沿着最小化次级信号能量的方向迭代。在有源降噪耳机实例中的对比结果表明,该算法能调节噪声放大并保持较大的降噪带宽,且运算量没有显著增加。     

Experimental results for multichannel feedforward ANC with noninvasive system identification

This paper presents experimental validation of a class of algorithms designed to enable active noise control (ANC) to function in environments when transfer functions change significantly over time. The experimental results presented are for broadband, local quieting in a diffuse field using a multichannel ANC system. The reverberant enclosure is an ordinary room, measuring approximately 1.4 x 2.4 x 2.4 m3 and containing a seated occupant, with six microphones defining the quiet zone near the occupant's ears. The control system uses a single reference signal and two error channels to drive four secondary sources. Using an ideal reference sensor, reduction in sound pressure level is obtained at the quiet-zone microphones averaged over the frequency range 50 to 1000 Hz with an occupant seated in the room. Two main results are presented: first for an adaptive cancelling algorithm that uses static system models, and second for the same algorithm joined with a noninvasive real-time system identification algorithm. In the first case better than 23 dB of performance is obtained if the occupant remains still through calibration and testing. In the second case, approximately 18 dB is obtained at the error microphones regardless of the motion of the occupant.     

3D beamforming in Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS)-assisted multi-user cognitive radio networks

In this paper, we consider a multi-user cognitive radio network (CRN) equipped with an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). We examine the network performance by evaluating the fairness of the secondary system, which is satisfying the minimum required signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) for each secondary user (SU). The minimum SINR of the SUs is maximized by joint optimization of the beamforming vector and three-dimensional beamforming (3DBF) angles at the secondary base station (SBS) and also the phase shifts of the IRS elements. This optimization problem is highly non-convex. To solve this problem, we utilize Dinkelbach’s algorithm along with an alternating optimization (AO) approach to achieve some sub-problems. Accordingly, by further applying a semi-definite relaxation method, we convert these sub-problems to equivalent convex forms and find a solution. Furthermore, analytically we propose an algorithm for optimizing 3DBF angles at the SBS. Through numerical results, the improvement of the sum SINR of the secondary system using the proposed method is illustrated. Moreover, it is shown that as the number of reflecting elements of IRS increases, the sum SINR significantly augments while satisfying fairness. Also, the convergence of the proposed algorithm is verified utilizing numerical results.

Smart microscope: an adaptive optics learning system for aberration correction in multiphoton confocal microscopy

Off-axis aberrations in a beam-scanning multiphoton confocal microscope are corrected with a deformable mirror. The optimal mirror shape for each pixel is determined by a genetic learning algorithm, in which the second-harmonic or two-photon fluorescence signal from a reference sample is maximized. The speed of the convergence is improved by use of a Zernike polynomial basis for the deformable mirror shape. This adaptive optical correction scheme is implemented in an all-reflective system by use of extremely short (10-fs) optical pulses, and it is shown that the scanning area of an f:1 off-axis parabola can be increased by nine times with this technique.     

Directional cancellation of acoustic noise for home window applications

This paper focuses on an active noise cancellation system for a home window using a transparent acoustic transducer. In a traditional active noise cancellation system, direct microphone measurements are used for reference and error signals. In the case of the window application, both external and internal sound would be picked up by such microphones. This leads to adverse effects on the performance of the active noise cancellation system and also to distortion of the internal sound. To address this problem, a wave separation technique is proposed to separate the internal and external components of sound. The wave separation algorithm is based on the use of two microphones and an algorithm that separates components based on their direction of travel. An active noise cancellation system is implemented using wave separation for both the error and reference signal measurements. The performance of the resulting ANC system is experimentally tested in a cabin equipped with a window and results are presented. Experimental results show that the new system is able to accurately preserve desired internal sound while cancelling uncorrelated external noise.

Fast affine projections and the regularized modified filtered-error algorithm in multichannel active noise control

In this paper, real-time results are given for broadband multichannel active noise control using the regularized modified filtered-error algorithm. As compared to the standard filtered-error algorithm, the improved convergence rate and stability of the algorithm are obtained by using an inner-outer factorization of the transfer path between the actuators and the error sensors, combined with a delay compensation technique using double control filters and a regularization technique that preserves the factorization properties. The latter techniques allow the use of relatively simple and efficient adaptation schemes in which filtering of the reference signals is unnecessary. Results are given for a multichannel adaptive feedback implementation based on the internal model control principle. In feedforward systems based on this algorithm, colored reference signals may lead to reduced convergence rates. An adaptive extension based on the use of affine projections is presented, for which real-time results and simulations are given, showing the improved convergence rates of the regularized modified filtered-error algorithm for colored reference signals.     

一种自适应层进式Savitzky‐Golay光谱滤波算法及其应用

可调谐半导体激光吸收光谱技术（TDLAS）利用半导体激光器的可调谐和窄线宽特性,通过选择特定气体的单条吸收线,排除其余气体的干扰,可以实现高精度、高选择性的气体浓度测量,在气体浓度检测系统中具有广泛的应用前景。在不同的应用条件和环境下,需要解决相应的硬件和数据处理方面的技术问题。主要研究TDLAS技术机动车尾气CO组分浓度遥测系统中的光谱数据处理问题,该系统利用路面漫反射回波信号遥测行驶中的机动车尾气CO组分浓度。由于激光扫描光谱回波信号受到漫反射面情况变化、空气环境变化、尾气湍流影响等因素影响,探测器收集到的信号不仅较弱同时也夹杂着多种噪声, 即测量光路信噪比较差, 故提出一种自适应层进式Savitzky-Golay(S-G)平滑滤波算法,实现了对光谱进行滤波处理从而更加准确地反演CO浓度。S-G滤波算法因其原理简单、功能强大、只需设置两个参数（窗口大小、拟合阶数）等优点,已广泛应用于光谱处理。如何正确设置S-G算法参数使滤波效果在去噪不足和过度滤波之间找到平衡点,是该滤波算法应用的一大难题。设计的检测系统中,测量光路光谱信号为非平稳信号,噪声和有效信号幅度时变,最佳窗口大小和多项式阶数随信号动态而变化,且变化区间较大,使用固定参数的S-G滤波器难以达到最佳效果。提出的自适应层进式S-G平滑滤波算法,通过逐层将测量光路光谱信号经过S-G滤波后,与参考光路的光谱信号设置的参考段比对信号相关系数和信号一阶导相关系数的和,以自适应得到逐层最优参数。通过对信噪比从9.81～29.77的10组不同带噪光谱分析验证了该算法的有效性,自适应层进式S-G算法能较好地去除噪声并还原带噪信号所携带的待测气体浓度信息,与带噪光谱对比,吸收光谱峰值最大误差由25.152%降至5.917%,积分吸光度最大误差由18.1%降至3.9%。在实现的系统中,使用自适应层进式S-G算法对测量光路进行滤波处理,并对不同车型、不同排量、燃烧不同油品的机动车在怠速和缓速通过(5 km·h-1)系统时其排放的CO浓度进行实时在线监测。     

Improving performance of FxRLS algorithm for active noise control of impulsive noise

Active noise control (ANC) systems employing adaptive filters suffer from stability issues in the presence of impulsive noise. New impulsive noise control algorithms based on filtered-x recursive least square (FxRLS) algorithm are presented. The FxRLS algorithm gives better convergence than the filtered-x least mean square (FxLMS) algorithm and its variants but lacks robustness in the presence of high impulsive noise. In order to improve the robustness of FxRLS algorithm for ANC of impulsive noise, two modifications are suggested. First proposed modification clips the reference and error signals while, the second modification incorporates energy of the error signal in the gain of FxRLS (MGFxRLS) algorithm. The results demonstrate improved stability and robustness of proposed modifications in the FxRLS algorithm. However, another limitation associated with the FxRLS algorithm is its computationally complex nature. In order to reduce the computational load, a hybrid algorithm based on proposed MGFxRLS and normalized step size FxLMS (NSS-FXLMS) is also developed in this paper. The proposed hybrid algorithm combines the stability of NSS-FxLMS algorithm with the fast convergence speed of the proposed MGFxRLS algorithm. The results of the proposed hybrid algorithm prove that its convergence speed is faster than that of NSS-FxLMS algorithm with computational complexity lesser than that of FxRLS algorithm.
