This is done continuously, but for various reasons (e.g., fetal or maternal movements) the system does not record any samples for varying periods of time. In many settings, it would be quite beneficial to estimate the missing samples. In this paper, we propose a (deep) Gaussian process-based approach for estimation of consecutively missing samples in FHR recordings. The method relies on similarities in the state space and on exploiting the concept of attractor manifolds. The proposed approach was tested on a short segment of real FHR recordings. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is able to provide more reliable results in comparison to several interpolation methods that are commonly applied for processing of FHR signals.</p>","PeriodicalId":87340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

To that end, we employ the sparse coding and dictionary learning schemes for capturing the behavior of neuronal responses into a small number of representative prototypical signals. Performance is measured by the reconstruction quality of clean and noisy test signals, which serves as an indicator of the generalization and discrimination capabilities of the learned dictionaries. To validate the merits of the proposed approach, a novel dataset of the actual recordings from 183 neurons from the primary visual cortex of a mouse in early postnatal development was developed and investigated. The results demonstrate that high quality modeling of testing data can be achieved from a small number of training examples and that the learned dictionaries exhibit significant specificity when introducing noise.</p>","PeriodicalId":87340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

This paper introduces three texture descriptors for texture classification that can be used to classify images of food. Two are based on the multifractal analysis, namely, entropy-based categorization and fractal dimension estimation (EFD), and a Gabor-based image decomposition and fractal dimension estimation (GFD). Our third texture descriptor is based on the spatial relationship of gradient orientations (GOSDM), by obtaining the occurrence rate of pairs of gradient orientations at different neighborhood scales. The proposed methods are evaluated in texture classification and food categorization tasks using the entire Brodatz database and a customized food dataset with a wide variety of textures. Results show that for food categorization our methods consistently outperform several widely used techniques for both texture and object categorization.</p>","PeriodicalId":87340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
