Abstract This paper proposes an integrated multi-stage framework to enhance frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) automotive radar performance under high noise and interference. The four-stage pipeline is applied consecutively: (i) an improved independent component analysis (ICA) blindly separates the two-channel echoes, isolating target and interference components; (ii) a recursive least-squares (RLS) filter compensates amplitude- and phase-mismatches, restoring signal fidelity; (iii) variational mode decomposition (VMD) followed by the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) extracts noise-free intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and sharpens their time-frequency signatures; and (iv) HHT-based beat-frequency estimation reconstructs a clean echo and delivers accurate range information.

Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the most pressing global health concerns, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving survival rates. Integrating digital mammography with computational techniques and advanced image processing has significantly enhanced the ability to identify abnormalities. However, existing methodologies face persistent challenges, including low image contrast, noise interference, and inaccuracies in segmenting regions of interest. To address these limitations, this study introduces a novel computational framework for analyzing mammographic images, evaluated using the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) dataset comprising 322 samples. The proposed methodology follows a structured three-stage approach. Initially,… More >

Abstract Global mortality rates are greatly impacted by malignancies of the brain and nervous system. Although, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in detecting brain tumors; however, manual assessment is time-consuming and susceptible to human error. To address this, we introduce ICA2-SVM, an advanced computational framework integrating Independent Component Analysis Architecture-2 (ICA2) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for automated tumor segmentation and classification. ICA2 is utilized for image preprocessing and optimization, enhancing MRI consistency and contrast. The Fast-Marching Method (FMM) is employed to delineate tumor regions, followed by SVM for precise classification. Validation on More >

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used and meet many demands in military and civilian fields. With the continuous enrichment and extensive expansion of application scenarios, the safety of UAVs is constantly being challenged. To address this challenge, we propose algorithms to detect anomalous data collected from drones to improve drone safety. We deployed a one-class kernel extreme learning machine (OCKELM) to detect anomalies in drone data. By default, OCKELM uses the radial basis (RBF) kernel function as the kernel function of the model. To improve the performance of OCKELM, we choose a Triangular Global More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG), helps to analyze the neuronal activity of a human brain in the form of electrical signals with high temporal resolution in the millisecond range. To extract clean clinical information from EEG signals, it is essential to remove unwanted artifacts that are due to different causes including at the time of acquisition. In this piece of work, the authors considered the EEG signal contaminated with Electrocardiogram (ECG) artifacts that occurs mostly in cardiac patients. The clean EEG is taken from the openly available Mendeley database whereas the ECG signal is collected from the Physionet… More >

Abstract In the design of hearing aids (HA), the real-time speech-enhancement is done. The digital hearing aids should provide high signal-to-noise ratio, gain improvement and should eliminate feedback. In generic hearing aids the performance towards different frequencies varies and non uniform. Existing noise cancellation and speech separation methods drops the voice magnitude under the noise environment. The performance of the HA for frequency response is non uniform. Existing noise suppression methods reduce the required signal strength also. So, the performance of uniform sub band analysis is poor when hearing aid is concern. In this paper, a More >

Abstract

During patient monitoring, false alert in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) becomes a major problem. In the category of alarms, pseudo alarms are regarded as having no clinical or therapeutic significance, and thus they result in fatigue alarms. Artifacts are misrepresentations of tissue structures produced by imaging techniques. These Artifacts can invalidate the Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) signal. Therefore, it is very important to develop algorithms that can detect artifacts. However, ABP has algorithmic shortcomings and limitations of design. This study is aimed at developing a real-time enhancement of independent component analysis (EICA) and time-domain

Abstract In this research work, we proposed a medical image analysis framework with two separate releases whether or not Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is the cell structure for cancer. Within this framework the histopathology images are decomposed into a third-level sub-band using a two-dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform. Subsequently, the structure features (SFs) such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Independent Components Analysis (ICA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were extracted from this sub-band image representation with the distribution of wavelet coefficients. These SFs are used as inputs of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Also, classification of PCA… More >

Abstract Discovering the information about several disorders prevailing in brain and neurology is by no means a new scientific technique. A neurological disorder of any human being can be analyzed using EEG (Electroencephalography) signal from the electrode’s output. Epilepsy (spontaneous recurrent seizure) detection is usually carried out by the physicians using a visual scanning of the signals produced by EEG, which is onerous and may be inaccurate. EEG signal is often used to determine epilepsy, for its merits, such as non-invasive, portable, and economical, can exhibit superior temporal tenacity.

Abstract Mental workload is considered to be strongly linked to human performance, and the ability to measure it accurately is key for balancing human health and work. In this study, brain signals were elicited by mental arithmetic tasks of varying difficulty to stimulate different levels of mental workload. In addition, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, independent component analysis (ICA), and multiple artifact rejection algorithms (MARAs) were used to filter event-related potentials (ERPs). Then, the data consisting of ERPs, subjective ratings of mental workload, and task performance, were analyzed through the use of variance and Spearman’s… More >
