A EEG(ElectroEncephaloGram) compression scheme based on subband coding techniques is presented in this paper. Considering the frequency characteristics of EEG, the raw signal was decomposed into different frequency bands. After decomposition, optimal bit allocation was done by adapting to the standard deviation in each frequency bands, and decomposed signals were quantized using pdf(probability density function)-optimized nonuniform quantizer. Based on the above mentioned coding scheme, coding results of various multichannel EEG signal were shown with compression ratio and SNR(signal-to-noise ratio).

This paper presents the application method of a wavelet theory for identification of the structural dynamic properties of a bridge, which is based on the ambient vibration signal caused by the traffic loadings. The method utilizes the time-scale decomposition of the ambient vibration signal , i . e. the continuous wavelet transform using the Morlet wavelet is used to decompose the ambient vibration signal into the time-scale domain. The applicability of the proposed approach is verified through the reduced scale bridge and automobile system in the laboratory. The results of verification shows that the use of the Morlet wavelet to identify the structural dynamic properties is reasonable and practicable.

This paper describes Active Noise Control (ANC) using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) Domain Least Mean Square (LMS) Method. DWT-LMS is one of the transform domain input decorrelation LMS and improves the convergence speed of adaptive filter especially when the input signal is highly correlated. Conventional transform domain LMS's use Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) because it offers linear band signal decomposition and fast transform algorithm. Wavelet transform can project the input signal into the several octave band subspace and offers more efficient sliding fast transform algorithm. In this paper, we propose Wavelet transform domain LMS algorithm and shows its performance is similar to DCT LMS in some cases using ANC simulation.

A new speed improvement method for quantitative superimposed EMG signal analysis to diagnose the neuromuscular dysfunction is described. The improvement is achieved through the use of efficient software and hardware signal processing techniques. The software approch is composed of the MANDF filter and HRWA algorithm which provides the optimal set and time delays of-selected templates. The hardware employs a TMS32OC25 DSP chip to execute the intensive calculation part. The purposed method is verified through a simulation with real templates which are obtained from needle EMG. As a results, the proposed method provides an overall speed improvement of 32-40 times.

In this paper, wavelet transform with multi-resolution property is used to improve the accuracy of pitch estimation of speech signal. Pitch detection of speech signal is based on the local maxima by using wavelet transform. The wavelet transform of a signal is a multiscale decomposition that is well localized in space and frequency. The proposed pitch defection algorithm is suitable for both low-pitched and high-pitched speakers.

This paper considers the problem of reconstructing an underlying signal from noisy data. This paper presents a reconstruction method based on synchrosqueezed wavelet transform recently developed for multiscale representation. Synchrosqueezed wavelet transform based on continuous wavelet transform is efficient to estimate the instantaneous frequency of each component that consist of a signal and to reconstruct components. However, an objective selection method for the optimal number of intrinsic mode type functions is required. The proposed method is obtained by coupling the synchrosqueezed wavelet transform with cross-validation scheme. Simulation studies and musical instrument sounds are used to compare the empirical performance of the proposed method with existing methods.

Damage detection methodologies based on the direct examination of the nonlinear-nonstationary characteristics of the structure dynamic response may play an important role in online structural health monitoring applications. Different signal processing based damage detection methodologies have been proposed based on the uncovering of spikes in the high frequency component of the structural response obtained via Discrete Wavelet transforms, Hilbert-Huang transforms or high pass filtering. The performance of these approaches in systems subjected to different types of excitation is evaluated in this paper. It is found that in the case of random excitations, like earthquake accelerations, the effectiveness of such methodologies is limited. An alternative damage detection approach using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is also evaluated to overcome this limitation. Using the CWT has the advantage that the central frequencies at which it operates can be defined by the user while the frequency bands of the detail functions obtained via DWT are predetermined by the sampling period of the signal.

Inthis paper, we investigate the compatible coding technique, which receives much interest ever since the introduction of HDTV. First, attempts have been made to analyze the theoretical transform coding gains for various hierarchical decomposition techniques, namely subband, pyramid and DCT-based decomposition techniques. It is shown that the spatical domain techniques proide higher transform coding gains than the DCT-based coding technique. Secondly, we compare the performance of these spatial domain techniques, in terms of the PSNR versus various rate allocations to each layer. Based on these analyses, it is believed that the pyramid decomposition is more appropriate for the compatible coding. Also in this paper, we propose a hybrid prediction pyramid coding technique, by combining the spatio-temporal prediction in MPEG-2[3] and the adaptive MC(Motion Compensation)[1]. In the proposed coding technigue, we also employ an adaptive DCT coefficient scanning technique to exploit the direction information of the 2nd-layer signal. Through computer simulations, the proposed hybrid prediction with adaptive scanning technuque shows the PSNR improvement, by about 0.46-1.78dB at low 1st-layer rate(about 0.1bpp) over the adaptive MC[1], and by about 0.33-0.63dB at high 1st-layer rate (about 0.32-0.43bpp) over the spatio-temporal prediction[3].

In spatial, desired target direction of arrival estimation is to find a incidental signal direction on receive antennas. In this paper, we were an estimation a desired target direction of arrival using maximum likelihood method. Direction of arrival estimation method estimated a desired target calculating the maximum likelihood sensitivity using singular value decomposition above threshold signals among receive signals in maximum likelihood method. Through simulation, we were analysis a performance to compare existing method and proposal method. In direction of arrival estimation, proposed method is effectivity to decrease processing time because it is not doing an eigen decomposition in direction of arrival estimation, and desired target correctly estimated. We showed that proposal method improve more target estimation than general method.

The neural dynamics underlying the causal network during motor planning or imagery in the human brain are not well understood. The lack of signal processing tools suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary electroencephalographic (EEG) hinders such analyses. In this study, noise-assisted multivariate empirical mode decomposition (NA-MEMD) is used to estimate the causal inference in the frequency domain, i.e., partial directed coherence (PDC). Natural and intrinsic oscillations corresponding to the motor imagery tasks can be extracted due to the data-driven approach of NA-MEMD, which does not employ predefined basis functions. Simulations based on synthetic data with a time delay between two signals demonstrated that NA-MEMD was the optimal method for estimating the delay between two signals. Furthermore, classification analysis of the motor imagery responses of 29 subjects revealed that NA-MEMD is a prerequisite process for estimating the causal network across multichannel EEG data during mental tasks.
