172 REAL TIME EDGES DETECTION USING WAVELET TRANSFORM
2000
One of the way to extract edges uses the fast wavelet transform algorithm. This technique allows the detection of multiscale edges and is used to detect all the details, which are in a picture by modifying the scale. The real time application for edge detection involves the implementation of the algorithm on an integrated circuit like a FPGA and the development of an appropriated board. This article deals about the implementation of a wavelet transform algorithm onto a FPGA and development of an electronic board to detect multiscale edges.
Effect of parametric variation of center frequency and bandwidth of morlet wavelet transform on time-frequency analysis of event-related potentials
2017
Time-frequency (TF) analysis of event-related potentials (ERPs) using Complex Morlet Wavelet Transform has been widely applied in cognitive neuroscience research. It has been widely suggested that the center frequency (fc) and bandwidth (σ) should be considered in defining the mother wavelet. However, the issue how parametric variation of fc and σ of Morlet wavelet transform exerts influence on ERPs time-frequency results has not been extensively discussed in previous research. The current study, through adopting the method of Complex Morlet Continuous Wavelet Transform (CMCWT), aims to investigate whether time-frequency results vary with different parametric settings of fc and σ. Besides, …
EMG artifacts removal during electrical stimulation, a CWT based technique
2014
International audience; A technique of artifacts removal based on the continuous wavelet transform is presented. It uses common mother wavelets to find the temporal localization of stimulation artifacts on electromyogram (EMG) signal during an electrically evoked contraction of a muscle. This method can be used with standard stimulation pulse waveforms like monophasics or biphasics ones. It uses a histogram representation to find the best threshold to apply on the CWT domain. The algotithm is presented with Haar wavelet and then it is used with common wavelet famillies such as Daubechies or Symlets.
Application of principal component analysis and wavelet transform to fatigue crack detection in waveguides
2010
Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGWs) are a useful tool in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications that can benefit from built-in transduction, moderately large inspection ranges and high sensitivity to small flaws. This paper describes a SHM method based on UGWs, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and principal component analysis (PCA) able to detect and quantify the onset and propagation of fatigue cracks in structural waveguides. The method combines the advantages of guided wave signals processed through the DWT with the outcomes of selecting defect-sensitive features to perform a multivariate diagnosis of damage. This diagnosis is based on the PCA. The framework presented in this paper …
The Wavelet Scalogram in the Study of Time Series
2014
Wavelet theory has been proved to be a useful tool in the study of time series. Specifically, the scalogram allows the detection of the most representative scales (or frequencies) of a signal. In this work, we present the scalogram as a tool for studying some aspects of a given signal. Firstly, we introduce a parameter called scale index, interpreted as a measure of the degree of the signal’s non-periodicity. In this way, it can complement the maximal Lyapunov exponent method for determining chaos transitions of a given dynamical system. Secondly, we introduce a method for comparing different scalograms. This can be applied for determining if two time series follow similar patterns.
Performance analysis of optical imaging systems based on the fractional fourier transform
1998
Some image quality parameters, such as the Strehl ratio and the optical transfer function, are analysed in the generalized phase-space, or x-p domain, of the fractional Fourier transform associated with a modified one-dimensional pupil function. Some experimental results together with computer simulations are performed which illustrate the tolerance to defocus of different apertures.
The Hamilton–Jacobi Equation
2001
We already know that canonical transformations are useful for solving mechanical problems. We now want to look for a canonical transformation that transforms the 2N coordinates (q i , p i ) to 2N constant values (Q i , P i ), e.g., to the 2N initial values \((q_{i}^{0},p_{i}^{0})\) at time t = 0. Then the problem would be solved, q = q(q0, p0, t), p = p(q0, p0, t).
Distributed Leadership for Interconnected Worlds
2011
The technological advancements in the second half of the previous century generated the potential for participatory decision making in organizational and governmental institutions. Moreover, the digital networking environments on the Internet that enabled this type of decision making were accompanied by the emergence and establishment of on-line communities. Under this perspective, the range of communication mediated by ubiquitous computing allows problems, ideas, and suggestions of a spec ific nature to be considered when gathered into organizational and institutional virtual spaces. Within these spaces, the voices of individual customers, workers, organizational stakeholders, and/or citiz…
A review of health assessment techniques for distribution transformers in smart distribution grids
2020
Due to the large number of distribution transformers in the distribution grid, the status of distribution transformers plays an important role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the these grids. To evaluate the distribution transformer health, many assessment techniques have been studied and developed. These tools will support the transformer operators in predicting the status of the distribution transformer and responding effectively. This paper will review the literature in the area, analyze the latest techniques as well as highlight the advantages and disadvantages of current methodologies.
XML document-grammar comparison: related problems and applications
2011
10.2478/s13537-011-0005-1; International audience; XML document comparison is becoming an ever more popular research issue due to the increasingly abundant use of XML. Likewise, a growing interest fosters the development of XML grammar matching and comparison, due to the proliferation of heterogeneous XML data sources, particularly on the Web. Nonetheless, the process of comparing XML documents with XML grammars, i.e., XML document and grammar similarity evaluation, has not yet received the attention it deserves. In this paper, we provide an overview on existing research related to XML document/grammar comparison, presenting the background and discussing the various techniques related to th…
