This paper describes a new method for the automated segmentation and extraction of cardiac MRI tagging lines. Our method is based on the novel use of a 2D Gabor filter bank. By convolving the tagged input image with our Gabor filters, the tagging lines are automatically enhanced and segmented out. We design the Gabor filter bank based on the input image’s spatial and frequency characteristics. ...

This paper presents enhancement of image reconstruction by comprehensively exploiting the phase diversity of adaptive synthesis filter bank. A novel approach of selection of synthesis delay filters in various reconstruction groups and possible placing configurations of optimal groups in adaptive synthesis filter bank have been explored. In contrast with linear phase synthesis filters, synthesis...

We consider the use of pre and postfilters in conjunction with M-channel, uniform-hand paraunitary (orthonormal) filter banks. We show that given any orthonormal filter bank, the pre and postfilters that maximize the coding gain are determined entirely by the power spectrum of the input process regardless of the details of the orthainormal filter bank (which could be FIR, IIR, or even the ideal...

A filter structure is proposed which has a significantly lower signal delay than common frequency-domain filtering by means of an analysis-synthesis filter-bank (AS FB). The recently published filter-bank equalizer (FBE) is a filter(-bank) with a lower signal delay compared to the corresponding AS FB. In this contribution, the signal delay of the FBE is further reduced by approximating the time...

Recently a new real-valued oversampled filter bank has been proposed which reduces the “inband” alias. The filter bank consists of at least three channels which are subsampled by different subsampling ratios. In this paper we investigate into the applicability of this filter bank for adaptive subband filtering and compare the setup with existing subband and fullband techniques.

Independent component analysis (ICA) of textured images is presented as a computational technique for creating a new data dependent filter bank for use in texture segmentation. We show that the ICA filters are able to capture the inherent properties of textured images. The new filters are similar to Gabor filters, but seem to be richer in the sense that their frequency responses may be more com...

The modified Discrete Fourier Transform (MDFT) filter bank is a Nearly Perfect Reconstruction (NPR) system based on pseudo-QMF filter bank. In this paper, we introduce an optimized algorithm to implement the MDFT filter bank based multicarrier modulation system. The system based on this optimization algorithm has the low error rate and system delay. To verify the designed system we have compare...

Filter bank approach is commonly used in feature extraction phase of speech recognition (e.g. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients). Filter bank is applied for modification of magnitude spectrum according to physiological and psychological findings. However, since mechanism of human auditory system is not fully understood, the optimal filter bank parameters are not known. This work presents a me...
