OAM method involves decomposing the input signal and performing linear convolution on each of them individually. The decomposed outputs are then concatenated together. The value of N chosen is generally a power of 2.

OSM method involves decomposing of input. But in this method, we divide the output signals and find the resultant as opposed to dividing the input signals in OAM and perform zero padding to modify the input signal x[n] and zero padding to h[n].
OAM and OSM are Block Processing Techniques and are suitable for real time signal processing.

Which one is better?
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned in the blog, OAM divides the input into smaller chunks whereas OSM divides the output into small length for computations.

ReplyDeleteOSM and OAM can only be used for FIR Filters
ReplyDeleteYes, they cannot be used in IIR filters
DeleteComputationally both the methods are equally useful and selection depends on the application
ReplyDeleteYes, in OAM, we perform linear convolution
DeleteThe graph is excellent
ReplyDeleteThe image illustrates OAM!
Deletethese methods are used to find output of long input sequence data.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are generally used in FIR filters.
DeleteThese methods cannot be used in IIR filters though
DeleteBoth these methods are used in FIR filters and not IIR filters
ReplyDeleteFFT algorithm is used in practical systems. But for long input signals(1024 samples) OAM and OSM methods should be used.
ReplyDeleteOSM is preferred for real-time signals
