Majority of TLE patients suffer from refractory seizures. Determining abnormal/damaged regions of the brain that harbor seizure focus is a critical step towards treatment of TLE patients. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive method that we use in this work to determine damaged regions of white matter in the brain. To this end, we apply two methods, voxel based morphometry (VBM) and fiber tracking. We use these methods along with two anisotropy maps (EAR and FA) extracted from the DTI data. We use DTI data of 31 subjects (12 normal subjects and 19 TLE patients) for testing and evaluation studies. The VBM method shows that TLE is associated with reduction of both of FA and EAR values in several regions within the temporal lobes. The tractography method shows abnormal diffusion characteristics in three fiber bundles (fornix, uncinate fasciculus, and cingulum). The results show that the EAR maps are less sensitive to noise than the FA maps and the EAR values change more than the FA values in TLE.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121700828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel method to detect obstacles in highly textured environments using two-stage dynamic programming. The algorithm consists of several steps including pre-processing, obstacle detection, analysis of disparity map using two-stage dynamic programming (TSDP) technique and depth computation. This method works well in highly textured environments and ideal for real applications. The disparity map for the stereo images is found in the 3D correlation coefficient volume by obtaining the global 3D maximum-surface rather than simply choosing the position that gives the local maximum correlation coefficient value for each pixel. The 3D maximum-surface is obtained using two-stage dynamic programming (TSDP) technique. An adaptive thresholding is also applied for better noise and texture removal. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123868222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two separate sets of different frequencies are used to transmit message bits ‘0’ and ‘1’. These frequencies have been selected to tolerate different attacks while keeping the watermark signal inaudible. To embed each bit of the binary message a pair of frequency is selected randomly from the given sets for each audio segment. One frequency is picked up from the pair based on the message bit and the frequency content of the audio segment. A sinusoidal carrier is generated at this frequency and is used as the watermark in the segment. The amplitude of this sinusoidal carrier is shaped based on critical band filters which models the human auditory system (HAS). The content based properties of the proposed scheme offers maximum flexibility while satisfying robustness and high capacity, simultaneously. Simulation and experimental results show high resistance of the proposed algorithm against all known watermarking attacks for different kinds of audio clips.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"184 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132653917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pivotal issue in cognitive radio is spectrum sharing, which allows primary (licensed) users to share their licensed radio frequency spectrum with secondary (unlicensed) users. In this paper, we will model the cognitive radio environment as a quality based competition. We consider the spectrum sharing problem between multiple primary users and only one secondary user. The novelty of this paper is that we formulate this problem as an oligopoly market competition and use the Cournot game (quality-based competition) to obtain the optimal spectrum allocation for the secondary user. Nash equilibrium is considered as the solution of this game. We will consider two different cases: static game in which each user can observe the adopted strategies and the payoff of others and dynamic game in which the strategy of each user is selected based on only the information obtained during the game. At the end, the stability condition for the dynamic case of spectrum sharing is investigated. Performance evaluation shows that our model results in more profits for primary users with lower offered prices for the secondary user and larger shared spectrum sizes at the expense of some stability decrease.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117119235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
