What is Better: GMM of Two Gaussians or Two Clusters With One Gaussian?

In this report, we provide a theoretical discussion on temporal data cluster analysis: does the data come from one source or two sources; is it better to cluster the data into two clusters or leave it as one cluster. Here we analyse only the simplest case: ...

Motion Analysis of Echocardiograms Using a Local-Affine, Spatio-Temporal Model

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

We present a new method for estimating heart motion from two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic sequences. It is inspired by the Lucas-Kanade algorithm for optical flow which estimates motion parameters over a sliding window. However, instead of assuming t ...

Statistical wavelet analysis of functional images of the brain

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a recent, non-invasive technique that allows the measurement of brain metabolism while a subject is performing specific motor or cognitive tasks. The practical difficulty is that the signal changes are very s ...

Wavelet de-noising for highly noisy source separation

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Robert, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that wavelet denoising processing is extremely attractive for efficient source separation of strong noisy mixtures. Systematic numerical simulations using source separation algorithms after wavelet de-noising are use ...

Characterization and model of ferroelectrics based on experimental Preisach density

Paul Muralt

In this article an experimental method of characterization and modeling of ferroelectric materials is presented. The reversible and irreversible contributions of polarization are separated. The measurements of these effects are performed simultaneously giv ...

Tracking of multiple wideband targets using passive sensor arrays and particle filters

Volkan Cevher

In this paper, we present a way to track multiple maneuvering targets with varying time-frequency signatures. A particle filter is used to track targets that have constant speeds with changing heading directions. The target motion dynamics help the particl ...

Source separation in strong noisy mixtures: A study of wavelet de-noising pre-processing

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Robert, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi

This paper addresses the source separation in strong noisy mixtures by wavelet de-noising processing. Experiments include the cases of white/correlated Gaussian and non- Gaussian noise, which correspond to various applications. The performance of BSS/ICA a ...

Optimal Filter Banks for Multiple Description Coding: Analysis and Synthesis

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti

Multiple description (MD) coding is a source coding technique for information transmission over unreliable networks. In MD coding, the coder generates several different descriptions of the same signal and the decoder can produce a useful reconstruction of ...

The Scrambled Net Filter

Thomas Gsponer

The standard Kalman filter is a powerful and widely used tool to perform prediction, filtering and smoothing in the fields of linear Gaussian state-space models. In its standard setting it has a simple recursive form which implies high computational effici ...
