EEG epileptic seizure detection and classification based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform and machine learning algorithms

The visual analysis of common neurological disorders such as epileptic seizures in electroencephalography(EEG) is an oversensitive operation and prone to errors,which has motivated the researchers to develop effective automated seizure detection methods.This paper proposes a robust automatic seizure detection method that can establish a veritable diagnosis of these diseases.The proposed method consists of three steps:(i) remove artifact from EEG data using Savitzky-Golay filter and multi-scale principal component analysis(MSPCA),(ii) extract features from EEG signals using signal decomposition representations based on empirical mode decomposition(EMD),discrete wavelet transform(DWT),and dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DTCWT) allowing to overcome the non-linearity and non-stationary of EEG signals,and(iii) allocate the feature vector to the relevant class(i.e.,seizure class "ictal" or free seizure class "interictal") using machine learning techniques such as support vector machine(SVM),k-nearest neighbor(k-NN),and linear discriminant analysis(LDA).The experimental results were based on two EEG datasets generated from the CHB-MIT database with and without overlapping process.The results obtained have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method that allows achieving a higher classification accuracy rate up to 100% and also outperforms similar state-of-the-art methods.

Seismic signal analysis based on the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform

We tried to apply the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform in seismic signal analysis. The complex wavelet packet transform (CWPT) combine the merits of real wavelet packet transform with that of complex continuous wavelet transform (CCWT). It can not only pick up the phase information of signal, but also produce better ″focal- izing″ function if it matches the phase spectrum of signals analyzed. We here described the dual-tree CWPT algo- rithm, and gave the examples of simulation and actual seismic signals analysis. As shown by our results, the dual-tree CWPT is a very effective method in analyzing seismic signals with non-linear phase.

Defects Recognition of 3D Braided Composite Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Packet Transform

Textile-reinforced composites,due to their excellent highstrength-to-low-mass ratio, provide promising alternatives to conventional structural materials in many high-tech sectors. 3D braided composites are a kind of advanced composites reinforced with 3D braided fabrics; the complex nature of 3D braided composites makes the evaluation of the quality of the product very difficult. In this investigation,a defect recognition platform for 3D braided composites evaluation was constructed based on dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform( DT-CWPT) and backpropagation( BP) neural networks. The defects in 3D braided composite materials were probed and detected by an ultrasonic sensing system. DT-CWPT method was used to analyze the ultrasonic scanning pulse signals,and the feature vectors of these signals were extracted into the BP neural networks as samples. The type of defects was identified and recognized with the characteristic ultrasonic wave spectra. The position of defects for the test samples can be determined at the same time. This method would have great potential to evaluate the quality of 3D braided composites.

NEW METHOD OF EXTRACTING WEAK FAILURE INFORMATION IN GEARBOX BY COMPLEX WAVELET DENOISING

Because the extract of the weak failure information is always the difficulty and focus of fault detection. Aiming for specific statistical properties of complex wavelet coefficients of gearbox vibration signals, a new signal-denoising method which uses local adaptive algorithm based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform （DT-CWT） is introduced to extract weak failure information in gear, especially to extract impulse components. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking the advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, the higher signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） than common wavelet denoising methods can be obtained. Experiments of extracting periodic impulses in gearbox vibration signals indicate that the method can extract incipient fault feature and hidden information from heavy noise, and it has an excellent effect on identifying weak feature signals in gearbox vibration signals.

Low-light image enhancement based on Retinex theory and dual-tree complex wavelet transform

In order to enhance the contrast of low-light images and reduce noise in them, we propose an image enhancement method based on Retinex theory and dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT). The method first converts an image from the RGB color space to the HSV color space and decomposes the V-channel by dual-tree complex wavelet transform. Next, an improved local adaptive tone mapping method is applied to process the low frequency components of the image, and a soft threshold denoising algorithm is used to denoise the high frequency components of the image. Then, the V-channel is rebuilt and the contrast is adjusted using white balance method. Finally, the processed image is converted back into the RGB color space as the enhanced result. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the performance in terms of contrast enhancement, noise reduction and color reproduction.

Image enhancement is a monumental task in the field of computer vision and image processing.Existing methods are insufficient for preserving naturalness and minimizing noise in images.This article discusses a technique that is based on wavelets for optimizing images taken in low-light.First,the V channel is created by mapping an image’s RGB channel to the HSV color space.Second,the acquired V channel is decomposed using the dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT)in order to recover the concentrated information within its high and low-frequency subbands.Thirdly,an adaptive illumination boost technique is used to enhance the visibility of a low-frequency component.Simultaneously,anisotropic diffusion is used to mitigate the high-frequency component’s noise impact.To improve the results,the image is reconstructed using an inverse DT-CWT and then converted to RGB space using the newly calculated V.Additionally,images are white-balanced to remove color casts.Experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves outcomes and outperforms previously reported methods in general.

Facial Expression Recognition Based on the Q-shift DT-CWT and Rotation Invariant LBP

In this paper, a novel method based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT) and rotation invariant local binary pattern(LBP) for facial expression recognition is proposed. The quarter sample shift (Q-shift) DT-CWT can provide a group delay of 1/4 of a sample period, and satisfy the usual 2-band filter bank constraints of no aliasing and perfect reconstruction. To resolve illumination variation in expression verification, low-frequency coefficients produced by DT-CWT are set zeroes, high-frequency coefficients are used for reconstructing the image, and basic LBP histogram is mapped on the reconstructed image by means of histogram specification. LBP is capable of encoding texture and shape information of the preprocessed images. The histogram graphs built from multi-scale rotation invariant LBPs are combined to serve as feature for further recognition. Template matching is adopted to classify facial expressions for its simplicity. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has good performance in efficiency and accuracy.

Orthogonal Discriminant Improved Local Tangent Space Alignment Based Feature Fusion for Face Recognition

Improved local tangent space alignment (ILTSA) is a recent nonlinear dimensionality reduction method which can efficiently recover the geometrical structure of sparse or non-uniformly distributed data manifold. In this paper, based on combination of modified maximum margin criterion and ILTSA, a novel feature extraction method named orthogonal discriminant improved local tangent space alignment (ODILTSA) is proposed. ODILTSA can preserve local geometry structure and maximize the margin between different classes simultaneously. Based on ODILTSA, a novel face recognition method which combines augmented complex wavelet features and original image features is developed. Experimental results on Yale, AR and PIE face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of ODILTSA and the feature fusion method.

基于多尺度局部结构化信息测度的鲁棒像素级图像融合算法(英文)

Because previous methods can not identify underlying image features from noises effectively, the updated image fusion schemes will be degraded when inputs are corrupted with noise. The perceptual salient image features often manifest some geometric structures, while noise dominated images are less structured. Based on complex wavelet transform, a structurization information metric is formulated by means of the Von Neumann entropy. The formulated metric can distinguish image features from noise very well. During the fusion process, the metric is employed to weight all fusion inputs. As a result, the perceptual meaningful inputs are enhanced while the noise inputs are de-emphasized adaptively. Comparing several image fusion schemes subjectively and objectively shows the good performance of the new scheme.

Multi-exposure fusion for high dynamic range scene

Due to the existing limited dynamic range a camera cannot reveal all the details in a high-dynamic range scene. In order to solve this problem,this paper presents a multi-exposure fusion method for getting high quality images in high dynamic range scene. First,a set of multi-exposure images is obtained by multiple exposures in a same scene and their brightness condition is analyzed. Then,multi-exposure images under the same scene are decomposed using dual-tree complex wavelet transform( DT-CWT),and their low and high frequency components are obtained. Weight maps according to the brightness condition are assigned to the low components for fusion. Maximizing the region Sum Modified-Laplacian( SML) is adopted for high-frequency components fusing. Finally,the fused image is acquired by subjecting the low and high frequency coefficients to inverse DT-CWT.Experimental results show that the proposed approach generates high quality results with uniform distributed brightness and rich details. The proposed method is efficient and robust in varies scenes.
