Because of strong demands due to detail preservation in lossy image archiving and transmission, as in for example medical applications, different modifications of uniform threshold quantization are considered. The main features of the elaborated procedure are as follows: fitting the threshold value to the local data characteristics in a backward way and quantization step size estimation for each subband as a forward and backward framework in the optimization procedure. Many tests conducted with a real wavelet compression scheme confirm the significant efficiency of the presented quantization procedures. The achieved total compression effectiveness is promising in spite of the simple coding algorithm.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

The 2D multirate signal processing theory and complementary filters properties are the base of CF banks design. Procedures to design quincunx, rectangular and circular complementary filters for alias free decimation are shown. The CF banks and wavelet representation are related and a consistent set of wavelet and scaling functions are developed. The region of support of scaling and wavelet functions can be found in each resolution level for different types of sampling. We show that quincunx sampling has two mother wavelets, since the region of support changes shape with the resolution levels. Examples of scaling and wavelet functions are shown.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

Unfortunately, approaches developed so far, both in time and frequency domain of the QRS complex suffer from a relatively low positive-predictive accuracy. This underscores the requirement to improve methods. In this study, we investigated the applications of wavelet filter banks. These are then applied to the problem of distinguishing patients with and without late potential. In the course of the work, we studied various accuracy scenarios using basic filtering and wavelet filtering techniques. We developed a new approach called subframe approximation and applied this approach to the wavelet filters. The real improvement is achieved in the wavelet filtering method and discrete wavelet analysis.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

The proposed estimator weights ultrasonic echo signals acquired before tissue compression by a Gaussian window function and uses the resulting waveform as a mother wavelet to calculate the WT of the postcompression signal. Strain is estimated from the location of the WT peak in the time-frequency domain. To analyze the performance of the proposed estimator, strain errors are investigated. Estimates are shown to be unbiased while variances depend on the echo signal-to-noise ratio, bandwidth, time-bandwidth product, and the applied strain. The results are compared with those obtained from the current strain estimator based on time-delay estimates. The proposed estimator has the advantage of producing unbiased strain estimates with greater precision and potentially higher spatial resolution, dynamic range and sensitivity at the expense of increased computation time.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

Moreover the ambiguous definition of these waves makes the detection more difficult. This paper presents a new procedure to automatically detect and localise the interictal epileptic spikes based on their shape and duration. We used the discrete wavelet transform based on many trained children of a mother wavelet function to build a two-dimensional discrete wavelet spectrum. We suggest thereafter to use this spectrum in order to localise the spikes and to measure their duration. By filtering the spectrum one can easily achieve the automatic spike selection based on a duration criterion. To train the wavelets we used the conjugate gradient method commonly used until now in the field of artificial neural networks.","PeriodicalId":395542,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE-SP International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (Cat.

The nearest neighbor (NN) and a previously introduced nearest linear combination (NLC) and nearest constrained linear combination (NCLC) pattern recognition methods are tested and mutually compared. Scale and time-shift invariant representations (STIRs) of the TMJ sound RIDs were used in order to perform their automatic classification.
