This paper presents a hardware implementation of CDF(2,2) wavelet image compressor. The design demonstrates that high quality circuit implementation is possible through the use of suitable data organization (partitioned approach) and algorithm-to-architecture mappings (parallel-ism or pipelining). A VHDL code for CDF(2,2) was developed to satisfy our objective. Then it was synthesized in Foundation 5.1 software and downloaded to CPLD XC9572 by a JTAG ByteBlaster cable. The original image was transmitted through serial port. The AVR’s ATmega8535 was used to implement serial protocol to and back from the CPLD. The main goal is to reach a higher performance and throughput with a single CPLD. Details of the encoder design have been discussed and the results are presented. Manuscript profile

Pathological changes within an organ can be reflected as proteomic patterns in blood. The mass spectrometry has been used as powerful tools to generate proteomic patterns from serum. The produced profiles can be viewed as high dimensional and correlation data for which the features of scientific interest are the peaks. Due to this complexity of data, an appropriate analysis method is needed such as wavelet transform. In this study, we proposed a pseudo-covariance wavelet-based feature extraction method for dimension reduction and de-correlation between mass spectra data. Our algorithm was applied to datasets of ovarian cancer obtained from the National Cancer Institute of USA. The proposed algorithm was used to extract the set of proteins as potential biomarkers in each dataset from reconstructed mass spectra. The selected biomarkers were able to diagnose ovarian cancer patients from non-cancer with high accurate results using standard diagnosis criteria. Using different classification algorithms, our approach yielded an accuracy of 98%, specificity of 97%, and sensitivity of 98%. Manuscript profile

One of the important subjects in the wavelet-based image denoising based on the Bayes theorem is choosing the appropriate density function for modeling the wavelet coefficients. The interscale dependency between parent and child coefficients is one of the statistical properties of wavelets. So, in the recent years instead of univariate distribution, bivariate density functions have been suggested by the researchers and in this paper we use a mixture of bivariate Laplacian densities for this reason. Using this distribution we are able to model both heavy-tailed property and interscale dependency of wavelets. Using the mentioned density function for a minimum mean squared error estimator, we obtain a new shrinkage function for denoising. Applying this function to each subband of discrete complex wavelet transform of abdominal computerized tomography images, we will be able to improve the quality of these images better than some reported methods.

In this paper, an online signature verification method using extended regression in stationary wavelet domain is presented. To calculate the similarity between two signatures by extended regression, we should equalize the time length of the corresponding signals in two signatures. Using all points of the signals to equalize their time length will decrease the difference between a genuine signature and its forgery. Here a new approach based on the extreme points warping of the signals is presented. This approach equalizes the time length of two signals without degrading the differences between them. Also we calculated the similarity of signatures by using the details of the signals in stationary wavelet transform, SWT, domain, which showed very good results. The proposed system was tested on SVC2004 signature database. The results were compared with the results of participant teams in the first international signature verification competition. We have gained EER=6% for skilled forgery signatures. Comparing the result, it shows that we stand in the second rank between all the participants. This system has no verification error for random forgery signatures and stands in the first rank. Our experimental results show that using SWT domain instead of time domain decreases the verification error rate by 35%. Manuscript profile

Identification and classification of power quality disturbances (PQDs) are one of the most important functions of monitoring and protection of modern power systems. One of the most important issues in PQ analysis is automatic diagnosis of waveforms using an effective algorithm. This paper presents an effective method, for extracting features, using integration of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and hyperbolic S transform (HST). Moreover, an efficient feature selection method namely Orthogonal Forward Selection (OFS) by incorporating Gram Schmidt (GS) procedure and forward selection is applied for selection of the best subset features. Multi support vector machines (MSVM), as famous classifier, is applied. Also, the variable parameters of the classifier are optimized using a powerful method namely particle swarm optimization (PSO). Six single disturbances and two complex disturbances as well pure sine (normal) selected as reference are considered for the classification. Sensitivity of the proposed expert system under different noisy conditions is investigated. Also, efficiency of the proposed methods by comparing the results of this study with the results of other papers is examined. Manuscript profile

The main purpose in various methods of image registration is to find the transformation parameters for accurate mapping an image onto another image coordinates. In medical sciences creating a precise mapping between medical images data is very important in application such as diagnosis and treatment. Accordingly, several approaches have been proposed for image registration. The compression of results and performance between different image registration algorithms was the main motivation for this research to design and implement a new hybrid algorithm so that provide high accuracy in multimodal image registration. Automating the image registration process by using machine learning approach is the innovation of this method compared to previous ones. To this end, the proposed method which is named multi resolution learning is composed of multi resolution decomposition and a hierarchical neural network which it learn the transformation parameters by using global properties of the image and uses learned transformation parameter for image registration. The proposed method is implemented and tested on the medical images of Vanderbilt university database. Experiment result show acceptable accuracy for the proposed method compared with other methods.

one of the most prevalent causes for mortality of infants is cardiac failure. Recordings of heart electrical activities by Electrocardiogram (ECG) are a safe method to detect abnormal arrhythmia in time and reduce cardiac failure in newborns. However, the non-invasive extraction of fetal ECG (fECG) from the maternal abdominal is quite challenging, since the fECG signals are often corrupted by some electrical noises from other sources such as: maternal heart activity, uterine contractions, and respiration, in addition to instrumental noises. Among such signals, the maternal heart signal (due to high amplitude) has the most disruptive effect and the fetal brain signal (due to low amplitude) has the least effect on distortion of the fetal heart signal. In this paper, a new method for extracting fECG signals from multichannel abdominal recordings is proposed. The proposed method uses Compressive Sensing (CS)to reduce the computational complexity and fast Independent Component Analysis (fICA) algorithm to estimate the sources. Also, for finding sparse representations of the acquired ECG signals, two dictionaries namely: discrete cosine transformation and discrete wavelet transform are deployed here. The proposed method is then implemented and its performance is tested using the well-known and publicly available database used in 2013 Physionet Challenge. The performance results are compared with that of the best performing existing methods. The results show that the proposed method based on CS and ICA outperforms the existing detection methods with a Mean Minimum Square Error (MMSE) of 171.65, and therefore can be used for non-invasive and reliable extraction fECG from abdominal recordings.

On load tap changers are very important equipment of the power transformers. Due to the strongly mechanical movements and high-energy arcs, this equipment has a much higher failure rate with respect to other internal transformer equipment. Online and accurate evaluation of well operation of these equipment by indicators with no interfere on the normal operation of the transformer, is very important issue. In this paper, various faults detecting methods in the tap changer have been discussed an investigated by some extracted features of acoustic signals. These signals have been captured experimentally in various tap changing periods by an accelerometer sensor mounted on a power transformer body. In this paper, in addition to common features, two new feathers entitled time and frequency indicators have been introduced. Finally, for selecting the proper features to faults detection and proposing an effective classification method, some available experimental data were randomly defected by results in the references, and classified successfully as healthy and defective data by support vector machine (SVM) method.

In the hybrid shipboard power networks, the possibility of occurrence of various types of faults is very high. According to the studies conducted in the field of fault detection and localization in hybrid microgrids, the lack of comprehensive fault management techniques to protect the microgrid against short-circuit faults is the main obstacle to the use of hybrid microgrids in vessels for vital marine missions. Considering the restrictions and limitations in marine vessels, the design of an electrical protection system for hybrid microgrids requires high attention to special requirements. In this paper, an appropriate protection scheme for fault detection and localization in hybrid shipboard microgrids is presented. In this regard, fault detection, classification and localization in a period of 0.034 to 0.54 seconds are performed using an algorithm based on Daubechies order 4 wavelet transform (db4). Observing the results and analyzing them shows that the proposed algorithm can detect, classify and localize all types of faults both in the AC and DC parts of the shipboard microgrids.
