Speckle is a granular noise that inherently exists in all types of coherent imaging systems. The presence of speckle in an image reduces the resolution of the image and the detectability of the target. Many speckle reduction algorithms... more
We present algorithms for automated event identification, pre-location, and P- and S-arrival time determination. Based on STA/LTA-detections of the single station trigger, theoretical relative travel times of predefined master events are... more
Background Electrocardiography (ECG) signal is a primary criterion for medical practitioners to diagnose heart diseases. The development of a reliable, accurate, non-invasive and robust method for arrhythmia detection could assists... more
Over the last ten years blind source separation (BSS) has become a prominent processing tool in the study of human electroencephalography (EEG). Without relying on head modeling BSS aims at estimating both the waveform and the scalp... more
Since microcalcification clusters are primary indicators of malignant types of breast cancer, its detection is important to prevent and treat the disease. This paper proposes a method for detection of microcalcification clusters in... more
Abstract: The paper presents different methods of combining many neural classifiers into one ensemble system for recognition and classification of arrhythmia. Majority and weighted voting, Kullback-Leibler divergence and modified Bayes... more
This paper presents a method based on higher order statistics (HOS), namely the normalized third-order moment (skewness), for blind estimation of the inverse filter of the room impulse response (RIR). Skewness is used as a measure of... more
We consider the problem of training a discriminative classifier given a set of labelled multivariate time series (a.k.a. multichannel signals or vector processes). We propose a novel kernel function that exploits the spectral information... more
Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery is largely used in de- tection, location and classification of underwater mines laying or buried in the sea bed. This paper proposes a detection method us- ing Higher Order Statistics (HOS) on SAS... more
