Insignal processing, theWiener filteris afilterused to produce an estimate of a desired or target random process by linear time-invariant (LTI) filtering of an observed noisy process, assuming knownstationarysignal and noise spectra, and additive noise. The Wiener filter minimizes themean square errorbetween the estima...

Instatisticsandcontrol theory,Kalman filtering(also known aslinear quadratic estimation) is analgorithmthat uses a series of measurements observed over time, includingstatistical noiseand other inaccuracies, to produce estimates of unknown variables that tend to be more accurate than those based on a single measurement...

Linear predictionis a mathematical operation where future values of adiscrete-timesignalare estimated as alinear functionof previous samples. Indigital signal processing, linear prediction is often calledlinear predictive coding(LPC) and can thus be viewed as a subset offilter theory. Insystem analysis, a subfield ofm...

Thezero-forcing equalizeris a form of linearequalizationalgorithmused incommunication systemswhich applies the inverse of thefrequency responseof the channel. This form of equalizer was first proposed byRobert Lucky. The zero-forcing equalizer applies the inverse of the channel frequency response to the received signa...

TheCzenakowski distance(sometimes shortened asCZD) is a per-pixel quality metric that estimates quality or similarity by measuring differences between pixels. Because it compares vectors with strictly non-negative elements, it is often used to compare colored images, as color values cannot be negative. This different a...

Data compression ratio, also known ascompression power, is a measurement of the relative reduction in size of data representation produced by a data compression algorithm. It is typically expressed as the division of uncompressed size by compressed size. Data compression ratio is defined as the ratio between theuncomp...
