Applying Wavelet Packet Decomposition and One-Class Support Vector Machine on Vehicle Acceleration Traces for Road Anomaly Detection
2013
Road condition monitoring through real-time intelligent systems has become more and more significant due to heavy road transportation. Road conditions can be roughly divided into normal and anomaly segments. The number of former should be much larger than the latter for a useable road. Based on the nature of road condition monitoring, anomaly detection is applied, especially for pothole detection in this study, using accelerometer data of a riding car. Accelerometer data were first labeled and segmented, after which features were extracted by wavelet packet decomposition. A classification model was built using one-class support vector machine. For the classifier, the data of some normal seg…
Extended scale-invariant pattern recognition with white-light illumination.
2000
A previous method of obtaining scale-invariance detection with white-light illumination has been improved on. We were able to detect different scaled versions of the target up to a magnification factor equal to 2. We simultaneously detected several versions in the same scene, because each scale factor is codified in a different wavelength. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed technique and show the utility of the method.
Acoustic Detection of Moving Vehicles
2018
This chapter outlines a robust algorithm to detect the arrival of a vehicle of arbitrary type when other noises are present. It is done via analysis of its acoustic signature against an existing database of recorded and processed acoustic signals. To achieve it with minimum number of false alarms, a construction of a training database of acoustic signatures of signals emitted by vehicles using the distribution of the energies among blocks of wavelet packet coefficients (waveband spectra, see Sect. 4.6) is combined with a procedure of random search for a near-optimal footprint (RSNOFP). The number of false alarms in the detection is minimized even under severe conditions such as: signals emi…
Adaptive Threshold, Wavelet and Hilbert Transform for QRS Detection in Electrocardiogram Signals
2017
This paper combines Hilbert and Wavelet transforms and an adaptive threshold technique to detect the QRS complex of electrocardiogram signals. The method is performed in a window framework. First, the Wavelet transform is applied to the ECG signal to remove noise. Next, the Hilbert transform is applied to detect dominant peak points in the signal. Finally, the adaptive threshold technique is applied to detect R-peaks, Q, and S points. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated against the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, and the numerical results indicated significant detection accuracy.
Multilevel system optimisation via nonlinearity management
2006
Nonlinearity management is explored as a multilevel tool to obtain maximum transmission reach in a WDM system. A technique for the fast calculation of the optimal dispersion pre-compensation in systems with distributed amplification is proposed.
Interferometric measurement of complex-field changes in transient detection imaging.
2020
We report an experimental method that combines nonlinear-crystal-based transient detection imaging (TDI) with interferometric complex-field retrieval. The system allows measuring both phase and amplitude of a dynamic scene while suppressing stationary background. Theoretical and experimental results prove the linear relation existing between input and output phases, as well as the benefits of phase analysis for both detection and measurement with high resolutions of λ/30, even under noisy conditions. Additionally, we present experimental evidence of the remarkable ability of the technique to detect phase sign changes in the scene —what we call differential-phase TDI— showing great detection…
Reconfigurable photonic routers based on multimode interference couplers
2015
We present a design approach for compact reconfigurable light routers with N access waveguides (WGs) based on multimode interference (MMI) couplers. The proposed devices comprise two MMI couplers, which are employed as power splitters and combiners, respectively, linked by an array of N single-mode WGs. When the effective refractive index of the WGs is modulated with the proper relative optical phase difference, the light can switch paths between the preset output channel and the remaining output WGs. Taking advantage of the transfer phases between the access ports of the MMI couplers, we derive very simple phase relations between the modulated WGs that enable the reconfiguration of the out…
SVG rendering for internet imaging
2006
The SVG (scalable vector graphics) standard allows representing complex graphical scenes by a collection of graphic vectorial-based primitives, offering several advantages with respect to classical raster images such as: scalability, resolution independence, etc. In this paper we present a full comparison between some advanced raster to SVG algorithms: SWaterG, SVGenie, SVGWave and some commercial tools. SWaterG works by a watershed decomposition coupled with some ad-hoc heuristics, SVGenie and SVGWave use a polygonalization based respectively on data dependent and wavelet triangulation. The results obtained by SWaterG, SVGenie and SVGWave are satisfactory both in terms of perceptual measur…
ERP qualification exploiting waveform, spectral and time-frequency infomax
2008
The present contribution briefly introduces an event related potential (ERP) detector. The specified detector includes three kinds of features of ERP. They are the ERP waveform feature, ERP spectral feature and ERP time-frequency feature respectively. According to these characteristics, two parameters are defined to reflect the timing feature of ERP. The mismatch negativity (MMN) is taken as the example to design an exact qualification detector. The experiment validates that the computer can automatically detect the raw trace to reflect the quality of the dataset, qualify the filtered trace to test whether the artifacts have been filtered out, and select the ERP-like component to reject art…
Adding Synthetic Detail to Natural Terrain Using a Wavelet Approach
2002
Terrain representation is a basic topic in the field of interactive graphics. The amount of data required for good quality terrain representation offers an important challenge to developers of such systems. For users of these applications the accuracy of geographical data is less important than their natural visual appearance. This makes it possible to mantain a limited geographical data base for the system and to extend it generating synthetic data.In this paper we combine fractal and wavelet theories to provide extra data which keeps the natural essence of actual information available. The new levels of detail(LOD) for the terrain are obtained applying an inverse Wavelet Transform (WT) to…
