These images are often 3D and because of the fields of depth of the lenses, the edges to be detected are blur. Our work is based on a generalization of the Canny-Deriche (1986, 1987) filter, modelized by a more realistic edge than the traditional ramp shape edge. This filter is used to generate a frame of wavelets. We propose a new criterium which allows to choose in a deterministic way the intrinsic parameters of the filters. This criterium introduces the concept of detection resolution which is a new concept in edge detection. For the merging of the data from the projection we use a new method which is based on a scanning of the scales in both directions: coarse-to-fine and fine-to-coarse, in order to ensure the best tradeoff between detection and localization. An example of the result obtained is presented with a /spl beta/-version of the method (monodimensional, without detection of the local maximums and without taking into account all our propositions).","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134149352","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}

These orthogonal waveforms are generated by a set of locally adapted versions of the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform. The basis vectors in this dictionary represent local features in the time-frequency plane compared to the standard KL basis vectors. Because of the structure of the bases, the best basis selection algorithm of Coifman-Wickerhauser is readily applicable. Moreover, no a priori choice of conjugated quadrature filters or cosine/sine polarity is necessary; it is completely data driven. The computational cost to build this dictionary is comparable to or potentially less than that of the standard KL transform. As an application, we give an example of clustering geophysical acoustic waveforms.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122056271","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 oldest and simplest transform for time-frequency signal representation is the short-time Fourier transform (STFT).

The quality of the time-frequency signal representation may be improved using the Wigner distribution. An analysis of the polynomial Wigner distributions, with respect to the concentration in the time-frequency plane is presented. A distribution with \"complex-time\" argument is defined.

The use of fractal estimation requires the estimation of parameter H, which is directly related to the fractal dimension D. However, traditional fractal analysis requires that the biomedical signals be stationary. Here, the authors propose a novel approach which is a combination of the wavelet transform and fractal estimators to characterize the human fetal breathing signals. This study was performed on 26 fetuses. The variances of the wavelet coefficients were estimated at each scale. The slope of the representation on a logarithmic plot from the scales 5 to 1 was used to estimate the fractal dimension of the fetal breathing signals. The authors' results suggested that fetal breathing rates have a rough structure.","PeriodicalId":415923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Third International Symposium on Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis (TFTS-96)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129226546","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}
