In this study, in order to verify the effectiveness of the variable filter band discrete wavelet transform (VFB-DWT) and construction method of the variable-band filter (VBF), a fetal ECG extraction has been carried out and the main results obtained are as follows. The approach to configuration VBF by selecting the frequency band only where the fetal ECG component is present was effective to configure the optimal base sensible signal. The extraction of the fetal ECG was successful by applying the wavelet shrinkage to VFB-DWT, which used the constructed VBF. The information entropy was selected as an evaluation index, and two kinds of ECG signals are used to evaluate the wavelet transform basis between the wavelet packet transform (WPT) and the VFB-DWT. One is a synthesized signal composed of white noise, the maternal ECG and the fetal ECG. The other signal is the real target signal separated by independent component analysis (ICA) and has the mother's body noise, the maternal ECG and the fetal ECG. The result shows that the basis by VBF of the VFB-DWT is better than the basis of the WPT that was chosen by the best basis algorithm (BBA).

For general image capture device, it is difficult to obtain an image with every object in focus. To solve the fusion issue of multiple same view point images with different focal settings, a novel image fusion algorithm based on local energy pattern (LGP) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, each focus images is decomposed using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) separately. Secondly, to calculate LGP with the corresponding pixel and its surrounding pixels, then use LGP to compute the new coefficient of the pixel from each transformed images with our proposed weighted fusing rules. The rules use different operations in low-bands coefficients and high-bands coefficients. Finally, the generated image is reconstructed from the new subband coefficients. Moreover, the reconstructed image can represent more detailed for the obtained scene. Experimental results demonstrate that our scheme performs better than the traditional discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method in both visual perception and quantitative analysis.

Pulse Condition

The human pulse-condition diagnosis is an important part of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which is difficult to recognize accurately by doctor’s subjective experience. Objective identification of pulse-conditions has important meanings for modernization of TCM. In this paper human pulse-condition system transfer function model and model parameter estimation were introduced, which are used to construct four kinds of typical pulse-conditions simulation signals. There are normal pulse, taut pulse, slippery pulse and thready pulse. And then, discrete wavelet transform for extracting the multi-scale energy characteristics and wavelet packet decomposition for extracting the multi-band energy characteristics are proposed so as to recognize the pulse-conditions simulation signals. The results show that the recognition effect of discrete wavelet transform method is better. Moreover, the data features of characteristic parameters demonstrate the reality of simulation signals.

The main purpose of this study is to present a novel personal authentication approach with the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart and the recorded signals can be used for individual verification because ECG signals of one person are never the same as those of others. The discrete wavelet transform was applied for extracting features that are the wavelet coefficients derived from digitized signals sampled from one-lead ECG signal. By the proposed approach applied on 35 normal subjects and 10 arrhythmia patients, the verification rate was 100% for normal subjects and 81% for arrhythmia patients. Furthermore, the performance of the ECG verification system was evaluated by the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The FAR was 0.83% and FRR was 0.86% for a database containing only 35 normal subjects. When 10 arrhythmia patients were added into the database, FAR was 12.50% and FRR was 5.11%. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach worked well for normal subjects. For this reason, it can be concluded that ECG used as a biometric measure for personal identity verification is feasible.

The prediction of term labor by analyzing the uterine magnetomyographic signals attempted in this research. The existing works did not focus on the classification of the signals. Publicly available MIT-BIH database records were divided into term-labor and term-nonlabor groups. This research presents two methods for feature extraction, discrete wavelet transform and wavelet packet transform. Energy, standard deviation, variance, entropy and waveform length of transform coefficients used in the first method. The normalized logarithmic energy of wavelet coefficients from each packet of the total wavelet packet tree used as the feature space for the second method. The labor assessment done through the classification of the features by using five different classifiers for different mother wavelet families. Discrete wavelet transform features extracted using coif5 wavelet with random subspace classification gives the accuracy, precision and FPrates of 93.9286%, 94.2014% and 5.7986% respectively. Using sym8 wavelet for wavelet packet transform features classified with SVM classifier performed well with 95.8763% accuracy, 95.9719% precision and 4.0281% FPrate. The results obtained from the research will be helpful in term labor assessment and understanding the parturition process.

The theorems, giving the condition of perfect translation invariance for discrete wavelet transforms, have already been proven. Based on these theorems, the dual-tree complex discrete wavelet transform, the 2-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, the complex wavelet packet transform, the variable-density complex discrete wavelet transform and the real-valued discrete wavelet transform, having perfect translation invariance, were proposed. However, their customizability of wavelets in the frequency domain is limited. In this paper, also based on these theorems, a new type of complex discrete wavelet transform is proposed, which achieves perfect translation invariance with high degree of customizability of wavelets in the frequency domain.
