The proposed method consists of a preprocessing stage for QRS detection, baseline wandering removal, and noise suppression. In this stage ST segments are extracted. In the next stage, the pattern length is reduced and subtracted from the normal template. In the third stage the extracted patterns are used for training a neural network and ischemic beats are detected. The algorithm used to train the NN is an adaptive backpropagation algorithm. An adaptive algorithm attempts to keep the learning step size as large as possible while keeping learning stable and then reduces the learning time. To evaluate the methodology, a cardiac beat dataset is constructed using several recordings of the European Society of Cardiology ST-T database. Our results were high both in sensitivity and positive predictivity. Specially, the obtained sensitivity and positive predictivity were 97.22% and 97.44%, respectively. These results are better than other any previously reported ones.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133392488","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 proposed method is based on finding the optimal reconstruction filter coefficients that will be used to combine the multiple descriptions, based on least squares minimization. Firstly, the original image is down sampled and each sub-image is coded using standard JPEG. These decoded images are then mapped to the original image size using the optimal filters. Multiple descriptions consist of coded down sampled images and the corresponding optimal reconstruction filter coefficients. It is shown that the proposed method gives superior results compared with standard interpolation filters (i.e .bicubic and bilinear).","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134057745","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}

First, the location of plus maze platform is automatically determined by using hough transform. Rats in the platform are detected by applying otsu based automatic thresholding. Otsu-based automatic thresholding is applied to discriminate the pixels as foreground and bacground pixels. The foreground pixels are then grouped by using a bounded box. From now on, for every new frame , active subject has been followed in platform that is seperated regions and elapsed times in regions are recorded. Plus maze system we take 25 frames per second is present more right results than other available systems.

Since the bandwidth of UWB signals is in the level of giga Hertz, the number of the resolvable paths in the channel is large. Consequently, in the receiver, a Rake receiver in conjunction with a maximum ratio combiner is used. By using the derived probability of error expression, the numerical values of the performances are calculated for the first derivative of Gaussian, the second derivative of Gaussian, Rayleigh and Daubechies-5 (db-5) pulse signals. Results show that the db-5 pulse based UWB system gives the best performance.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"1142 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133321813","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 \"filtered\" domain each textured region of the original image exhibits a characteristic intensity distribution. In this domain we pose the segmentation problem as an optimization problem in a Bayesian framework. The cost functional contains a data-driven term, as well as a term that brings in information about the shapes of the objects to be segmented. We solve the optimization problem using level set-based active contours. Our experimental results on synthetic and real textures demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in segmenting challenging textures as well as its robustness to missing data and occlusions.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"28 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114033410","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}
