In 2011 we derived a closed form to resolve the superresolution problem, thus proposing a new algorithm to generate the high-resolution image. However, the choice of an hyperparameter (λ), involved in the fusion of the low-resolution images, is still heuristically defined. Thus, to get a good value for such hyperparameter is somewhat troublesome, demanding much experience or a lot of attempts. In this context, this paper proposes a fully automatic method for choosing such hyperparameter, thus providing a fully analytical solution for the superresolution problem. In the solution it is used, by the first time in the image processing field, a new Bayesian inference method known as Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). Several simulations, from which two results are here presented, show that the proposed algorithm performs better than other superresolution algorithms yet available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122829283","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}

The approach was used to identify rare cases from 1572 patient cases in the domain of post-operative pain treatment. The results show that the approach enables the identification of rare cases in the domain of post-operative pain treatment and 18% of cases were identified as rare.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116994018","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}

In this paper, the simultaneous detection of seismic events contained in a given data record is formulated as such a problem and an approximation of the probability density function under the null hypothesis, of a ratio based test statistic is proposed. By exploiting some interesting properties satisfied by the ratio of identical distributed Random Variables, as well as the sparsity of the seismic events in the data record, we succeed in obtaining such an approximation. From a series of experiments we have conducted in both synthetic and real seismic data, the effectiveness of the proposed technique is confirmed.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127155869","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}

The main focus of this paper is to describe a strategy to classify a target in a multi-channel seismic network. A technique of sensor level fusion is applied in a seismic network. This technique is based on correlation method. The method determines the weights of each seismic sensor present in the network. These weights are then adjusted adaptively as the change of correlation is observed among the sensors for real-time data. The self-clustering of the sensors is then evaluated based on the Euclidean distance measure of these weighted values in a network. This technique is not only helpful to reduce the computational cost of the network since the features of a target is extracted only from a fused signal but also to identify the failure state of the sensor. The shape statistics and peak values in a frequency domain are extracted as the features of the target. Principal component analysis is used to optimize the feature vectors. Then, the AdaBoost classifier is applied on these feature vectors for target classification.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143318","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}

Under a Neyman-Pearson framework, a new detection scheme referred to as the likelihood ratio test with sparse estimation (LRT-SE) is proposed and analyzed. The error probability of LRT-SE is characterized with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the estimation error under the high SNR regime. For the low SNR regime, it is shown that there exists a detection boundary on the SNR, above which Chernoff-consistent detection is achievable for LRT-SE. The detection boundary can be calculated using fidelity results on the sparse estimation, and it allows the signal to be consistently detected under vanishing SNR. The error exponent of LRT-SE is also characterized and compared with the oracle exponent assuming signal knowledge. Numerical experiments are used to shown that the proposed method performs in the vicinity of the LRT method and the error probability decays exponentially with the number of observations. Results in this paper also have important implications in showing how well the performance of sparse estimation technique transforms into a hypothesis testing setup.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128938619","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}

Initial findings showed that the average mean of cadence, step length and walking speed for Parkinson's disease patients are lower than normal subjects, while the mean of stride time for Parkinson's disease patients are higher. Further, for kinematic parameter, overall joint angle of hip, knee and ankle mean values are lower for Parkinson's disease patients as compared to normal group. In addition, for kinetic parameter, all mean values of ground reaction force parameters are higher for normal subjects with walking speed contributed as the major determinant. To evaluate the significant features that could be used as identification between PD and normal subjects, statistical analysis is conducted. Hence, based on the statistical analysis results, it was found that step length, walking speed, knee angle as well as vertical parameter of ground reaction force are the four significant features as indicators for classification of subject with Parkinson's disease based on the accuracy attained with Artificial Neural Network as classifier.","PeriodicalId":288042,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology (ISSPIT)","volume":"34 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131988278","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}
