A correlation function that compares each base in a DNA sequence to its various neighbours and which is subsequently processed by Fourier and wavelet transforms has been developed. The procedure has been applied to sequences from the human chromosome 22, t ...
Ruttimann et al. have proposed to use the wavelet transform for the detection and localization of activation patterns in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Their main idea was to apply a statistical test in the wavelet domain to detect the coeff ...
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 ...
Summary The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a common signal-processing tool for the analysis of nonstationary signals. We propose here a new B-spline-based method that allows the CWT computation at any scale. A nice property of the algorithm is that ...
To evaluate whether an activity monitor based on body acceleration measurement can accurately assess the energy cost of the human locomotion, 12 subjects walked a combination of three different speeds (preferred speed+/-1 km/h) and seven slopes (-15 to + 1 ...
The objective of this feasibility study is to evaluate the use of the 'Physilog' device, an ambulatory physical- activity recorder based on acceleration measurement, for the monitoring of daily physical activities. Accelerations measured at the level of th ...
A new method of evaluating the characteristics of postural transition (PT) and their correlation with falling risk in elderly people is described. The time of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions and their duration were measured using a miniature gyro ...
In recent years, wavelet-based algorithms have been successful in different signal processing tasks. The wavelet trans- form is a powerful tool because it manages to represent both tran- sient and stationary behaviors of a signal with few transform coeffi- ...
The objective of this study is to present a new method of physical activity monitoring, able to detect body postures (sitting, standing and lying) from only one kinematic sensor attached on the chest. Wavelet analysis in conjunction with a simple kinematic ...
We investigate the approximation properties of general polynomial preserving operators that approximate a function into some scaled subspace of L2 via an appropriate sequence of inner products. In particular, we consider integer shift-invariant a ...
