A list,

Here I would like to explore some of the concepts of cross-correlation. Just as convolution can be divided into linear convolution and circular convolution; There are also linear cross-correlation and circular cross-correlation. The basic formula of linear and cyclic cross-correlation is the same, the difference is how to deal with boundary data. The essential difference lies in their view of the raw data. In this article, I want to sort through the concepts and give examples.

Definition and calculation of Linear cross-correlation









Verify this with a practical example. The first subgraph in Figure 3 shows that the radar sonar emits a detection signal. After some time, an echo (with some noise) as shown in the second subgraph of Figure 3 is received. At this point, we focus on how to determine when the echo is the response to the detection signal, so as to calculate the distance between the target and the radar, which requires the use of linear cross-correlation. The “Valid” curve in the third subgraph is the effective cross-correlation data, which clearly shows the position of two echoes similar to the detection signal.



In linear cross-correlation, some other concepts are worth noting:

1 zero padding. It is not difficult to see from the linear correlation formula that in order to compute a complete sequence of correlation coefficients (including all the “invalid data”), some “non-existent” points need to be used. This requires artificially supplementing the values to zero for the regions beyond the original data store in linearly dependent calculations.

2. End effect. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the cross-correlation data of one end and one end are not completely “embedded” in all the information of the two original arrays, and they are more or less affected by artificial zeroing. Therefore, these data are generally considered unavailable.

3 Selection of computing mode. This problem is actually derived from question 2. In Python, there are at least two functions that can directly calculate linear dependence:

Ii. Source code

function varargout = xiangguan(varargin)
% XIANGGUAN M-file for xiangguan.fig
%      XIANGGUAN, by itself, creates a new XIANGGUAN or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = XIANGGUAN returns the handle to a new XIANGGUAN or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      XIANGGUAN('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in XIANGGUAN.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      XIANGGUAN('Property'.'Value',...). creates anew XIANGGUAN or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before xiangguan_OpeningFunction gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to xiangguan_OpeningFcn via varargin.
