Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform with optimum correlations
— In this paper, we present design methods to optimize nonlinear phase functions of Generalized DFT (GDFT) for minimized auto and cross correlations. It is shown that GDFT offers...

Nonlinear kernel backprojection for computed tomography
In this paper, we propose a kernel backprojection method for computed tomography. The classical backprojection method estimates an unknown pixel value by the summation of the proj...

Coherence-based near-oracle performance guarantees for sparse estimation under Gaussian noise
We consider the problem of estimating a deterministic sparse vector x0 from underdetermined measurements Ax0 + w, where w represents white Gaussian noise and A is a given determin...

Revisiting the security of speaker verification systems against imposture using synthetic speech
In this paper, we investigate imposture using synthetic speech. Although this problem was first examined over a decade ago, dramatic improvements in both speaker verification (S...
