Although Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cause of cardioembolic stroke, the arrhythmia remains underdiagnosed, as it is often asymptomatic or intermittent. Automated detection of AF in ECG signals is important for patients with implantable cardiac devices, pacemakers or Holter systems. Such resource-constrained systems often operate by transmitting signals to a central server where diagnostic decisions are made. In this context, ECG signal compression is being increasingly investigated and employed to increase battery life, and hence the storage and transmission efficiency of these devices. At the same time, the diagnostic accuracy of AF detection must be preserved. This paper investigates the effects of ECG signal compression on an entropy-based AF detection algorithm that monitors R-R interval regularity. The compression and AF detection algorithms were applied to signals from the MIT-BIH AF database. The accuracy of AF detection on reconstructed signals is evaluated under varying degrees of compression using the state-of-the-art Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) compression algorithm. Results demonstrate that compression ratios (CR) of up to 90 can be obtained while maintaining a detection accuracy, expressed in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, of at least 0.9. This highlights the potential for significant energy savings on devices that transmit/store ECG signals for AF detection applications, while preserving the diagnostic integrity of the signals, and hence the detection performance.

Emerging technologies in the context of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) have drastically evolved the industry’s qualification requirements. AVs incorporate complex perception and control systems. Teaching the associated skills that are necessary for the analysis of such systems becomes a very difficult process and existing solutions do not facilitate learning. In this study, our efforts are devoted to proposingan open-source scale model vehicle platform that is designed for teaching the fundamental concepts of autonomous vehicles technologies that are adapted to undergraduate and technical students. The proposed platform is as realistic as possible in order to present and address all of the fundamental concepts that are associated with AV. It includes all on-board components of a stand-alone system, including low and high level functions. Such functionalities are detailed and a proof of concept prototype is presented. A set of experiments is carried out, and the results obtained using this prototype validate the usability of the model for the analysis of time- and energy-constrained systems, as well as distributed embedded perception systems.
