in many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. in this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...

introduction: the accuracy of analyzing functional mri (fmri) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. a common solution in for analyzing fmri data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (glm) have previously been evalua...

In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...

We develop a new filter which combines spatially adaptive noise filtering in the wavelet domain and temporal filtering in the signal domain. For spatial filtering, we propose a new wavelet shrinkage method, which estimates how probable it is that a wavelet coefficient represents a “signal of interest” given its value, given the locally averaged coefficient magnitude and given the global subband...

Capability of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method in extraction of the coherent structures from a spatio-temporal chaotic field is assessed in this paper. As the chaotic field, an ensemble of 40 snapshots, obtained from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation, has been used. Contrary to the usual methods, where the ergodicity of the field is need...

This paper proposes a computationally fast scheme for denoising a video sequence. Temporal processing is done separately from spatial processing and the two are then combined to get the denoised frame. The temporal redundancy is exploited using a scalar state 1-D Kalman filter. A novel way is proposed to estimate the variance of the state noise from the noisy frames. The spatial redundancy is e...

Introduction: It has been shown that Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) filter can be applied to real-time dynamic cardiac MR images to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) without compromising the boundary sharpness [1]. KLT filtering takes advantage of temporal redundancy and can be viewed as a kind of “smart averaging” without the need for image registration. Since cardiac motion is quasi-per...

Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity associated with voluntary and spontaneous saccades were analyzed in 12 normal subjects to determine the influence of volition upon the presaccadic spike potentials (SPs). In addition, two different electrode configurations, of a temporal and a parietal derivation, and two different filter bandwidths were simultaneously analyzed to clarify issues regarding ...
