Recent Advances in Tensor Based Signal and Image Processing

The goal of this special issue is to gather contributions that bring advances on tensor decompositions with applications to signal and image processing. Articles are invited which focus on either fundamental aspects of tensor decompositions or on application-oriented problems, or both. Fundamental issues include uniqueness, degeneracy, rank definitions and determination, low-rank approximation, structured tensors, constrained tensor models/decompositions, and algorithms. Application fields include (but are not limited to): modeling/ estimation of wireless communication channels, blind equalization and source separation, transceiver design for MIMO and cooperative communication systems, modeling and identification of non-linear systems, biomedical and genomic signal processing, image processing, and audio/ speech processing.

  1. At the contention-based synchronization, e.g., initial ranging process, it is crucial to identify multiple users through ranging codes and estimate the corresponding parameters such as timing offset and freque...

  5. Recordings of neural activity, such as EEG, are an inherent mixture of different ongoing brain processes as well as artefacts and are typically characterised by low signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, EEG dataset...

  6. In this paper, we present a canonical polyadic (CP) tensor decomposition isolating the scaling matrix. This has two major implications: (i) the problem conditioning shows up explicitly and could be controlled ...
