The proposed algorithm decomposes the input image into a multiresolution space using the B-spline two-dimensional wavelet transform. The system builds features vector for each pixel that contains information about the gray level, moments and other texture information. These vectors are used as inputs for the fuzzy c-means clustering method, which results in a segmented image whose regions are distinct from each other according to texture characteristic content. An Adaptive Center Weighted Median filter is used to enhance fetal ultrasound images before wavelet decomposition. Experiments indicate that this method can be applied with promising results. Preliminary experiments indicate good results in image segmentation while further studies are needed to investigate the potential of wavelet analysis and fuzzy c-means clustering methods as a tool for detecting fetus organs in digital ultrasound images.","PeriodicalId":403026,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 44th IEEE 2001 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

Ventricular Late Potentials (VLPs) are associated with VT. VLPs are low amplitude high frequency signals that appear at the end of the QRS complex of an ECG recording. In this work, DWT analysis is performed to identify VLPs in ECG signals and this analysis is used to classify patients with and without VLPs in their ECGs. Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) was carried out for a total of (39) different ECG records that included MI patients with and without VT. The parameters studied in this work included the standard parameters, which are the duration of the QRS the root mean square of the signal in the last 40 ms and the duration of the low amplitude signal. In addition to the standard parameters, two DWT generated parameters were added which are power of the vector magnitude and norm of a chosen level. Introducing new WT parameters improves performance in comparison with the use of standard method parameters alone.","PeriodicalId":403026,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 44th IEEE 2001 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

As an image sweeps over the sensor array, the pixels collect charge; at certain intervals the charge in the wells in each of the rows is moved to their adjacent rows, in the same direction and velocity as the moving image. TDI sensors help provide high quality and contrast image even under low illumination as long as image speed is same with the speed of the charge movement. TDI is modeled as a natural sampler and based on the properties of this mathematical model, low complexity algorithms that can fit into an FPGA are developed to self synchronize the TDI based on the change in the high frequency components of the output signal.","PeriodicalId":403026,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 44th IEEE 2001 Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems.
