Time-frequency signal and image processing of non-stationary signals with application to the classification of newborn EEG abnormalities
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an introduction to time-frequency (T-F) methods in signal processing, and a novel approach for EEG abnormalities detection and classification based on a combination of signal related features and image ...
Analysis of the time-varying cortical neural connectivity in the newborn EEG: A time-frequency approach
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Relationships between cortical neural recordings as a representation of functional connectivity between cortical brain regions were quantified using different time-frequency criteria. Among these, Partial Directed Coherence ...
Iterative blocking artefact reduction based on local contrast information
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Block based transform coding is the most popular
technique for image and video compression. However, images
compressed using block based algorithms exhibit highly visible
blocking artifacts. We propose an iterative ...
A radon wigner ville based image dissimilarity measure
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we introduce a radon wigner ville based image dissimilarity measure. The proposed Image distortion measure aims to combine the useful properties of the wigner ville and the directionality of the finite Radon ...
Using Classroom Observation to Investigate Productive Student Participation in Higher- and Lower-Performing Qatari Schools
(2011 , Conference Paper)
In 2002, Qatar established key elements of educational reform in schools including national curriculum standards; emphasis on critical thinking through student-centered teaching; establishment of charter (independent) ...
Conditions for Student-Centered Teaching and Learning: Relationship Between Classroom Processes and School Achievement of Curriculum Standards
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Qatari educational curriculum standards emphasize student-centered classrooms where students actively engage in inquiry and problem solving. Classrooms characterized by these elements should emerge as more successful on ...
Parameter Estimation of Biological Phenomena Modeled by S-systems: An Extended Kalman Filter Approach
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Recent advances in high-throughput technologies for biological data acquisition have spurred a broad interest
in the development of mathematical models for biological phenomena. S-systems, which offer a good compromise ...
EEG-based automatic epilepsy diagnosis using the instantaneous frequency with sub-band energies
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel approach for classifying the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals as normal or abnormal. This method uses features derived from the
instantaneous frequency (IF) and energies of EEG signals in ...
An improved method for nonstationary signals components extraction based on the ICI rule
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an improved adaptive algorithm for components localization and extraction from a noisy multicomponent signal time-frequency distribution (TFD). The algorithm, based on the intersection of confidence ...
Time-Frequency Characterization of Tri-Axial Accelerometer Data for Fetal Movement Detection
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a significant problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity and its well-being. Using data acquired by accelerometry sensors, we ...
