A rapid, simple, precise, accurate, and environmentally friendly spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of Sacubitril and Valsartan in their combined dosage form, using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and zero-crossing techniques without using organic solvents and the time-consuming extraction step.Initially, UV spectra of two pure components in water were processed via various mother wavelet families. Then, applying zero-crossing technique, the optimum points were found to obtain appropriate calibration curves for each point. The calibration curves were linear for both Sacubitril and Valsartan. The validation of these methods was investigated by analyzing several synthetic mixtures with known concentrations. Applying one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and Fisher pairwise comparisons, the following were found to yield the best results: Discrete Meyer (dmey) wavelet functions with scaling factor of 61 at 232 nm and Symlet5 (sym5) with 48 at 232 nm

This paper describes and use of wavelet analysis for identification of regular and irregular behavior of dynamical systems. We are focused in single and double-well potential energy harvesting systems that present either periodic or chaotic behavior To identify the behavior of dynamical systems is of major importance in predicting possible energy harvesting from that system. Using Morlet wavelets, the oscillatory motions of a set of systems were identified with good accuracy. The visualization of the scalograms and global energy spectrum are very useful tools to validate the type of motion found, periodic, quasi periodic or chaotic. Wavelet analysis can be used to find which amplitude and frequency of operation that generates more energy for each model. Wavelet analysis is a technique used as a tool to assist the validation of the presence of chaos in dynamic systems, together with well consolidated techniques as Lyapunov exponents and Poincare maps.. ...

Spectrum sensing is one of the crucial aspects in Cognitive Radio (CR). Fast and accurate spectrum opportunity detection provides interference avoidance to other/licensed users. At the same time, it offers more efficient spectrum utilization by providing accurate sensing information as an input to the intelligent dynamic resource allocation process. Wideband spectrum sensing has been introduced due to the higher bandwidth demand and increasing spectrum scarcity since it provides better chance of detecting spectrum opportunity. In this paper, the application of wavelet transform techniques for wideband spectrum opportunity detection in CRs is documented. Wavelet analysis is used in two-step process detection or multi-resolution opportunity detection proposed here. Edge detection using wavelet analysis is employed in the first step to indentify possibly available subband(s). The fine analysis is done in the second step for each chosen subband(s) using wavelet transform in order to detect any ...

Improving efficiency of disease diagnosis based on phenotype ontology is a critical yet challenging research area. Recently, Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)-based semantic similarity has been affectively and widely used to identify causative genes and diseases. However, current phenotype similarity measurements just consider the annotations and hierarchy structure of HPO, neglecting the definition description of phenotype terms. In this paper, we propose a novel phenotype similarity measurement, termed as DisPheno, which adequately incorporates the definition of phenotype terms in addition to HPO structure and annotations to measure the similarity between phenotype terms. DisPheno also integrates phenotype term associations into phenotype-set similarity measurement using gene and disease annotations of phenotype terms. Compared with five existing state-of-the-art methods, DisPheno shows great performance in HPO-based phenotype semantic similarity measurement and improves the efficiency of disease

It is well known that coalmine gas concentration forecasting is very significant to ensure the safety of mining. Owing to the high-frequency, nonstationary fluctuations and chaotic properties of the gas concentration time series, a gas concentration forecasting model utilizing the original raw data often leads to an inability to provide satisfying forecast results. A hybrid forecasting model that integrates wavelet transform and extreme learning machine (ELM) termed as WELM (wavelet based ELM) for coalmine gas concentration is proposed. Firstly, the proposed model employs Mallat algorithm to decompose and reconstruct the gas concentration time series to isolate the low-frequency and high-frequency information. Then, ELM model is built for the prediction of each component. At last, these predicted values are superimposed to obtain the predicted values of the original sequence. This method makes an effective separation of the feature information of gas concentration time series and takes full advantage of

Wavelet-domain hidden Markov models (HMMs), in particular hidden Markov tree (HMT), were recently proposed and applied to image processing, where it was usually assumed that three subbands of the 2-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT), i.e. HL, LH, and HH, are independent. In this paper, we study wavelet-based texture analysis and synthesis using HMMs. Particularly, we develop a new HMM, called HMT-3S, for statistical texture characterization in the wavelet-domain. In addition to the joint statistics captured by HMT, the new HMT-3S can also exploit the crosscorrelation across DWT subbands. Meanwhile, HMT-3S can be characterized by using the graphical grouping technique, and has the same tree structure as HMT. The proposed HMT-3S is applied to texture analysis, including classification and segmentation, and texture synthesis with improved performance over HMT. Specifically, for texture classification, we study four wavelet-based methods, and experimental results show that HMT-3S provides the highest

Heart rate variability (HRV) can be quantified, among others, in the frequency domain using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The wavelet transform is an alternative tool for the analysis of non-stationary signals. The implementation of perfect reconstruction digital filter banks leads to multi resolution wavelet analysis. Software was developed in LabVIEW. In this study, the average power was compared at each decomposition level of a tachogram, containing the consecutive RR-intervals of two groups of subjects: aerobic athletes and a control group. Compared to the controls, the aerobic athletes showed an increased power in all frequency bands. These results are in accordance with values obtained by spectral analysis using the Fourier transform, suggesting that wavelet analysis could be an appropriate tool to evaluate oscillating components in HRV, but in addition to classic methods, it also gives a time resolution ...

We introduce a machine learning approach to demosaicing, the reconstruction of color images from incomplete color filter array samples. There are two challenges to overcome by a demosaicing method: first, it needs to model and respect the statistics of natural images in order to reconstruct natural looking images; second, it needs to be able to perform well in the presence of noise. To facilitate an objective assessment of current methods we introduce a public ground truth data set of natural images suitable for research in image demosaicing and denoising. We then use this large data set to develop a machine learning approach to demosaicing. Our proposed method addresses both demosaicing challenges by learning a statistical model of images and noise from hundreds of natural images. The resulting model performs simultaneous demosaicing and denoising. We show that the machine learning approach has a number of benefits: 1. the model is trained to directly optimize a user-specified performance ...

Driving while fatigued is just as dangerous as drunk driving and may result in car accidents. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis has been studied recently for the detection of driver drowsiness. However, the detection reliability has been lower than anticipated, because the HRV signals of drivers were always regarded as stationary signals. The wavelet transform method is a method for analyzing non-stationary signals. The aim of this study is to classify alert and drowsy driving events using the wavelet transform of HRV signals over short time periods and to compare the classification performance of this method with the conventional method that uses fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based features. Based on the standard shortest duration for FFT-based short-term HRV evaluation, the wavelet decomposition is performed on 2-min HRV samples, as well as 1-min and 3-min samples for reference purposes. A receiver operation curve (ROC) analysis and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier are used for feature

We introduce a new class of wavelets that behave like a given differential operator L. Our construction is inspired by the derivative-like behavior of classical wavelets. Within our framework, the wavelet coefficients of a signal y are the samples of a smoothed version of L{y}. For a linear system characterized by an operator equation L{y} = x, the operator-like wavelet transform essentially deconvolves the system output y and extracts the innovation signal x. The main contributions of the thesis include: Exponential-spline wavelets. We consider the system L described by a linear differential equation and build wavelets that mimic the behavior of L. The link between the wavelet and the operator is an exponential B-spline function; its integer shifts span the multiresolution space. The construction that we obtain is non-stationary in the sense that the wavelets and the scaling functions depend on the scale. We propose a generalized version of Mallats fast filterbank algorithm with ...

Abstract: One of the most promising non-invasive markers of the activity of the autonomic nervous system is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV analysis toolkits often provide spectral analysis techniques using the Fourier transform, which assumes that the heart rate series is stationary. To overcome this issue, the Short Time Fourier Transform is often used (STFT). However, the wavelet transform is thought to be a more suitable tool for analyzing non-stationary signals than the STFT. Given the lack of support for wavelet-based analysis in HRV toolkits, such analysis must be implemented by the researcher. This has made this technique underutilized. This paper presents a new algorithm to perform HRV power spectrum analysis based on the Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (MODWPT). The algorithm calculates the power in any spectral band with a given tolerance for the bands boundaries. The MODWPT decomposition tree is pruned to avoid calculating unnecessary wavelet coefficients, ...

In this paper, an image fusion method is proposed based on the non-separable wavelet frame (NWF) for merging a high-resolution panchromatic image and a low-resolution multispectral image. The lowfrequency part of the panchromatic image is directly substituted by multispectral image. As a result, the multispectral information of the multispectral image can be preserved effectively in the fused image. Due to multiscale method for enhancing the high-frequency parts of the panchromatic image, spatial information of the fused image can be improved. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform, discrete wavelet transform and separable wavelet frame inpreserving spectral and spatial information.. © 2005 Chinese Optics Letters.

We developed an orbital tuned age model for the composite Chew Bahir sediment core, obtained from the Chew Bahir basin (CHB), southern Ethiopia. To account for the effects of sedimentation rate changes on the spectral expression of the orbital cycles we developed a new method : the Multi-band Wavelet Age modeling technique (MUBAWA). By using a Continuous Wavelet Transformation, we were able to track frequency shifts that resulted from changing sedimentation rates and thus calculated tuned age model encompassing the last 620 kyrs. The results show a good agreement with the directly dated age model that is available from the dating of volcanic ashes. Then we used the XRF data from CHB and developed a new and robust humid-arid index of east African climate during the last 620 kyrs. To disentangle the relationship of the selected elements we performed a principal component analysis (PCA). In a following step we applied a continuous wavelet transformation on the PC1, using the directly dated age ...

In this work we compare Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) populations originated from Brazil, Chile, Spain, Italy and Greece using power spectral density and phylogenetic analysis to detect any similarities between the population macro- and the molecular micro-level. Log-transformed population data were normalized and AR(p) models were developed to generate for each case population time series of equal lengths. The time-frequency/scale properties of the population data were further analyzed using wavelet analysis to detect any population dynamics frequency changes and cluster the populations. Based on the power spectral of each population time series and the hierarchical clustering schemes, populations originated from Southern America (Brazil and Chile) exhibit similar rhythmic properties and are both closer related with populations originated from Greece. Populations from Spain and especially Italy, have higher distance by terms of periodic changes on their population ...

This paper investigates price co-movement in the principal skim milk powder (SMP) producing regions (the EU, Oceania, and the USA) using wavelet analysis and monthly data over 2001 to 2015. The empirical results suggest: First, the price linkages at the high frequencies are weak but they become progressively stronger as one considers longer time horizons. Second, the pair of regions (EU, Oceania) is more integrated than the pairs (EU, USA), and (Oceania, USA). Third, the SMP prices in the EU and in Oceania move together and lead prices in the USA.

This paper describes two approaches for accomplishing interactive feature analysis by overcomplete multiresolution representations. We show quantitatively that transform coefficients, modified by an adaptive non-linear operator, can make more obvious unseen or barely seen features of mammography without requiring additional radiation. Our results are compared with traditional image enhancement techniques by measuring the local contrast of known mammographic features. We design a filter bank representing a steerable dyadic wavelet transform that can be used for multiresolution analysis along arbitrary orientations. Digital mammograms are enhanced by orientation analysis performed by a steerable dyadic wavelet transform. Arbitrary regions of interest (ROI) are enhanced by Deslauriers-Dubuc interpolation representations on an interval. We demonstrate that our methods can provide radiologists with an interactive capability to support localized processing of selected (suspicion) areas (lesions). Features

Ultra wideband (UWB) communications involve very sparse channels, since the bandwidth increase results in a better time resolution. This property is used here to propose an efficient algorithm jointly estimating the channel and the transmitted symbols. More precisely, this paper introduces an expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm within a wavelet domain Bayesian framework for semi-blind channel estimation of multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) based UWB communications. A prior distribution is chosen for the wavelet coefficients of the unknown channel impulse response (CIR) in order to model a sparseness property of the wavelet representation. This prior yields, in maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, a thresholding rule within the EM algorithm. We particularly focus on reducing the number of estimated parameters by iteratively discarding insignificant wavelet coefficients from the estimation process. Simulation results using UWB channels issued from both models and

Dr. Cuculich introduced new concepts in the use of ECGI (at least to this author)-phase mapping and the importance of wavefronts or wavelet transformation in A-Fib signals. ECGI uses wavelet transform looking at pure activation time. He asked, how does…phase mapping affect the result? He related phase mapping to the CONFIRM concept of phase lock where a simple 12-lead ECG analysis can classify A-Fib mechanistically.3. Doctors (and we patients) are still struggling to understand what phase mapping and wavelet transformation actually mean. Dr. Cuculichs studies of phase mapping techniques (Hilbert transform) in A-Fib show that phase mapping highlights and accentuates the curvature of a wavefront and thus indicates a rotor is present. According to Dr. Cuculich, phase mapping is highly dependent on the chosen cycle length. He concluded that while published ECGI data used wavelet transform to identify activation patterns, phase mapping techniques (when performed carefully and correctly) may ...

The change in firing activity caused by the tail pinch was determined by comparing the firing rate in a 10 s window before the pinch with the firing rate during the pinch (Wilcoxon signed rank test).. Slow oscillation periods were detected as data segments with theta (3-6 Hz) to delta (2-3 Hz) ratios ,2 derived from recordings in the stratum oriens or pyramidale of the dorsal CA1 region. Theta-to-delta ratios were smoothed by a sliding average with a length of 5 s and 50% overlap. The minimal duration of analyzed data segments was 10 s. Slow oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex were recorded by the same glass electrode that was used for juxtacellular labeling. The discrimination of DOWN- and UP-states was done by extracting the shape information below 2.5 Hz after a continuous wavelet transform using a Daubechies (3) wavelet function and by setting the threshold to cos(θ) = 0. This wavelet transform was confirmed not to cause a phase shift, and similar results were obtained by using a ...

Protein secondary structure prediction is a fundamental and important component in the analytical study of protein structure and functions. The prediction technique has been developed for several decades. The Chou-Fasman algorithm, one of the earliest methods, has been successfully applied to the prediction. However, this method has its limitations due to low accuracy, unreliable parameters, and over prediction. Thanks to the recent development in protein folding type-specific structure propensities and wavelet transformation, the shortcomings in Chou-Fasman method are able to be overcome. We improved Chou-Fasman method in three aspects. (a) Replace the nucleation regions with extreme values of coefficients calculated by the continuous wavelet transform. (b) Substitute the original secondary structure conformational parameters with folding type-specific secondary structure propensities. (c) Modify Chou-Fasman rules. The CB396 data set was tested by using improved Chou-Fasman method and three indices: Q3

To present and evaluate a new algorithm, based on the wavelet transform, for the automatic measurement of motor unit action potential (MUAP) duration. A total of 240 MUAPs were studied. The waveform of each MUAP was wavelet-transformed, and the start and end points were estimated by regarding the maxima and minima points in a particular scale of the wavelet transform. The results of the new method were compared with the gold standard of duration marker positions obtained by manual measurement. The new method was also compared with a conventional algorithm, which we had found to be best in a previous comparative study. To evaluate the new method against manual measurements, the dispersion of automatic and manual duration markers were analyzed in a set of 19 repeatedly recorded MUAPs. The differences between the new algorithms marker positions and the gold standard of duration marker positions were smaller than those observed with the conventional method. The dispersion of the new algorithms ...

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) from a large database is becoming a necessity for many applications such as medical imaging, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), space search and many others. However, the process of retrieving relevant images is usually preceded by extracting some discriminating features that can best describe the database images. Therefore, the retrieval process is mainly dependent on comparing the captured features which depict the most important characteristics of images instead of comparing the whole images. In this paper, we propose a CBIR method by extracting both color and texture feature vectors using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Self Organizing Map (SOM) artificial neural networks. At query time texture vectors are compared using a similarity measure which is the Euclidean distance and the most similar image is retrieved. In addition, other relevant images are also retrieved using the neighborhood of the most similar image from the clustered data set via

A Wavelet is a mathematical function used to write down a function or signal in terms of other functions that are simpler to study. Many signal processing tasks can be seen in terms of a wavelet transform. Informally speaking, the signal can be seen under the lens with a magnification given by the scale of the wavelet. In doing so, we can see only the information that is determined by the shape of the wavelet used. The English term wavelet was introduced in the early 1980s by French physicists Jean Morlet and Alex Grossman. They used the French word ondelette (which means small wave). Later, this word was brought into English by translating onde into wave giving wavelet. Wavelet is (complex) function from the Hilbert space ...

In this research an innovative fully automated 3D face compression and recognition system is presented. Several novelties are introduced to make the system performance robust and efficient. These novelties include: First, an automatic pose correction and normalization process by using curvature analysis for nose tip detection and iterative closest point (ICP) image registration. Second, the use of spherical based wavelet coefficients for efficient representation of the 3D face. The spherical wavelet transformation is used to decompose the face image into multi-resolution sub images characterizing the underlying functions in a local fashion in both spacial and frequency domains. Two representation features based on spherical wavelet parameterization of the face image were proposed for the 3D face compression and recognition. Principle component analysis (PCA) is used to project to a low resolution sub-band. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, experiments were performed on the GAVAB face

Introduction: Signal processing and machine learning (ML) paradigms may serve as an automated tool for analyzing and discovering the hidden changes in the ECG in order to predict the presence and severity of hemorrhage. In this study a method based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and ML is used to analyze raw ECG, extract significant ECG features, and then use them to identify severe volume loss.. Methods: The algorithm detects and extracts time-interval and amplitude features from the ECG that describe ECG changes due to volume loss. These features include PQ, PR, QT, and ST duration, amplitude of T over amplitude of R, and amplitude of P over amplitude of R from each ECG cycle. The system was tested on volunteers undergoing lower body negative pressure (LBNP) as a hemorrhage mimetic. The LBNP protocol consisted of a 5 min rest period (0 mm Hg) followed by 5 min of chamber decompression of the lower body to −15, −30, −45, and −60 mm Hg and additional increments of −10 mm Hg every ...

Wavelet transforms are used to explore the dynamic evolution of granular material by post-processing data from DEM simulations. Data sets generated from two different physical scenarios were analysed: particles in vibration cells and samples under compression. It is shown how the wavelet multiresolution analysis (MRA) helps to reveal the particle motions within a vibration box subject to applied vibrations. Two combinations of amplitude and frequency vibration were applied in this work: low frequency with high amplitude and high frequency with low amplitude. Both cases give the same acceleration amplitude of approximately 7.8g where g is the acceleration due to gravity and both mono-sized particles and binary mixture were considered. The root mean square of the fluctuating velocity and the packing fraction of the two data sets are also consistent with the analysis results of the wavelets technique. Furthermore, it is shown how the MRA techniques were used to capture the position of ...

Advance in computer vision (CV) have led to an increasing market for biometric recognition systems. However, as more users are registered in a system, its expanding dataset will increase the systems response time and lower its recognition stability. As mentioned above, we propose a new high-performance algorithm suitable for embedded finger-vein recognition systems. First, the semantic segmentation based on DeepLabv3+ to filter out the background noise and enhance processing stability. The adaptive symmetric mask-based discrete wavelet transform (A-SMDWT) and adaptive image contrast enhancement were used in the pre-processing of images, and feature extraction was performed through the repeated line tracking (RLT) method. Next, the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) of the image is computed, after which a support vector machine (SVM) was then used to train a classifier. Finally, a self-established finger-vein image dataset as well as a public dataset was implemented in the Raspberry Pi ...

Bronchiolar obstruction is commonly manifested in computed tomography (CT) images as areas of decreased attenuation relative to adjacent normal lung parenchyma. The certain identification of such areas is difficult in practice, particularly if they are poorly marginated. This paper presents a novel approach to the enhancement of feature differences between normal and diseased lung parenchyma so that reliable visual assessment can be made. The method relies on a hybrid structural filtering technique which removes pulmonary vessels appearing in the CT cross-sectional images without affecting intrinsic subtle intensity details of the lung parenchyma. In order to restore possible structural distortions introduced by the hybrid filter, a feature localization process based on wavelet reconstruction of feature extrema is used. After contrast enhancement the resultant images are used to delineate region borders of the diseased areas and quantification is made with regard to the extent of the disease ...

Investigation of changes in rainfall and runoff patterns in various regions and determining their relationship in the sense of hydrology and climatology are of great importance, considering those patterns efficiently reveal the human and natural factors in this variability. One of the mathematical methods to recognise and model these fluctuations is Wavelet Analysis. This is a spectral method used in multivariateanalysis and also tracing fluctuations in temporal series.

Summary Seismic inversion is the process of removing the effects of propagated wavelet to recover the values of acoustic impedance. To estimate a reliable mixed-phase wavelet for a viscoelastic medium, we utilized higher-order statistics method. Non-minimum phase wavelet estimation based on cumulant matching is known as statistical wavelet estimation approach. To apply this approach, we windowed the seismic data in such a way that two consecutive windows were only one sample apart. No fixed wavelet was considered for any windows and we let the phase of each wavelet to rotate at each sample in the window. Comparison of the fourth-order cumulant of the whitened trace with fourth-order moment of the all-pass operator in each window yields a cost function which should be minimized. In this regard, we chose simulated annealing method. The proposed method was applied to synthetic and real data set from one of hydrocarbon fields of Iran. The results showed that the proposed method can estimate non-stationary
