EM-Type Algorithms for DOA Estimation in Unknown Nonuniform Noise
The expectation--maximization (EM) algorithm updates all of the parameter estimates simultaneously, which is not applicable to direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in unknown nonuniform noise. In this work, we present several efficient EM-type algorithms, which update the parameter estimates sequentially, for solving both the deterministic and stochastic maximum--likelihood (ML) direction finding problems in unknown nonuniform noise. Specifically, we design a generalized EM (GEM) algorithm and a space-alternating generalized EM (SAGE) algorithm for computing the deterministic ML estimator. Simulation results show that the SAGE algorithm outperforms the GEM algorithm. Moreover, we design two SAGE algorithms for computing the stochastic ML estimator, in which the first updates the DOA estimates simultaneously while the second updates the DOA estimates sequentially. Simulation results show that the second SAGE algorithm outperforms the first one.

Stochastic Maximum-Likelihood DOA Estimation and Source Enumeration in the Presence of Nonuniform Noise
In this paper, the problem of determining the number of signal sources impinging on an array of sensors and estimating their directions-of-arrival (DOAs) in the presence of spatially white nonuniform noise is considered.…
Derivative Based Focal Plane Array Nonuniformity Correction
This paper presents a fast and robust method for fixed pattern noise nonuniformity correction of infrared focal plane arrays. The proposed method requires neither shutter nor elaborate calibrations and therefore enables …
DOA Estimation in Nonuniform Sensor Noise
The problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of nonuniform sensor noise is considered and a novel algorithm is developed. The algorithm consists of three phases. First, the diagonal nonuniform sen…

Design of non-uniformly spaced phase-stepped algorithms using their frequency transfer function
Here we show how to design phase-shifting algorithms (PSAs) for nonuniform phase-shifted fringe patterns using their frequency transfer function (FTF). Assuming that the nonuniform/nonlinear (NL) phase-steps are known, w…
