Title: SimpleMKKM: Simple Multiple Kernel k-means

Abstract:

We propose a simple yet effective multiple kernel clustering algorithm, termed simple multiple kernel k-means (SimpleMKKM). It extends the widely used supervised kernel alignment criterion to multi-kernel clustering. Our criterion is given by an intractable minimization-maximization problem in the kernel coefficient and clustering partition matrix. To optimize it, we equivalently rewrite the minimization-maximization formulation as a minimization of an optimal value function, prove its differenentiablity, and design a reduced gradient descent algorithm to decrease it. Furthermore, we prove that the resultant solution of SimpleMKKM is the global optimum. We theoretically analyze the performance of SimpleMKKM in terms of its clustering generalization error. Finally, we briefly introduce two variants of SimpleMKKM.

Title: Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of target with complex motion for the radar-communication integration

Abstract:

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of target with complex motion is very important and difficult in the field of radar imaging and radar-communication integration, and it has great value in practice. For the target with complex motion, the rotational velocity and rotational axis are time varying, and this will induce the time varying character for the Doppler frequency of the received signal. Thus, the traditional radar imaging algorithm will be inappropriate in this case, and the corresponding radar images will be blurred severely and cannot be recognized correctly. Then, the received signal can be characterized as multi-component polynomial phase signal (PPS) for the target with complex motion, and the time frequency analysis for the PPS should be implemented to improve the radar image quality. This report will introduce three kinds of methods, including the parameters estimation, the time frequency representation and the signal decomposition technique for the treatment of multi-component PPS, and combined with the range instantaneous Doppler (RID) technique, the radar image quality can be improved significantly for the target with complex motion.
