By experimenting on the 500 cases of ECG signals from the ECG database of China, it obtained the numeral indexes for each algorithm. Then by using the automatic diagnostic program developed by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, it also got the parameters of the reconstructed signals from linear approximation distance threshold (LADT), wavelet transform (WT), differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) algorithm. The results show that when the index of percent of root mean square difference(PRD) is less than 2.5%, the diagnostic agreement ratio is more than 90%; the index of PRD cannot completely show the damage of significant clinical information; the performance of wavelet algorithm exceeds other methods in the same compression ratio (CR). For the statistical result of the parameters of various methods and the clinical diagnostic results, it is of certain value and originality in the field of ECG compression research.展开更多

The underlying problem is formulated as the maximization of steady-state system availability and is to determine the optimal aperiodic checkpoint sequence. We present two exact computation algorithms in both forward and backward manners and two approximate ones;constant hazard approximation and fluid approximation, toward this end. In numerical examples with Weibull system failure time distribution, it is shown that the combined algorithm with the fluid approximation can calculate effectively the exact solutions on the optimal aperiodic checkpoint sequence.展开更多

The measurement of sequence similarity involves the consideration of the possible sequence alignments in order to find an optimal one for which the “distance” between sequences is minimum. In biology informatics area, it is a more important and difficult problem due to the long length (100 at least) of sequence, this cause the compute complexity and large memory require. By associating a path in a lattice to each alignment, a geometric insight can be brought into the problem of finding an optimal alignment, this give an obvious encoding of each path. This problem can be solved by applying genetic algorithm, which is more efficient than dynamic programming and hidden Markov model using commomly now.展开更多

Whether an algorithm was selected to fuse object images was also depended upon the sensor types and special research purposes. Firstly,five fusion methods,i. e. IHS,Brovey,PCA,SFIM and Gram-Schmidt,were briefly described in the paper. And then visual judgment and quantitative statistical parameters were used to assess the five algorithms. Finally,in order to determine which one is the best suitable fusion method for land cover classification of IKONOS image,the maximum likelihood classification( MLC) was applied using the above five fusion images. The results showed that the fusion effect of SFIM transform and Gram-Schmidt transform were better than the other three image fusion methods in spatial details improvement and spectral information fidelity,and Gram-Schmidt technique was superior to SFIM transform in the aspect of expressing image details. The classification accuracy of the fused image using Gram-Schmidt and SFIM algorithms was higher than that of the other three image fusion methods,and the overall accuracy was greater than 98%. The IHS-fused image classification accuracy was the lowest,the overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were 83. 14% and 0. 76,respectively. Thus the IKONOS fusion images obtained by the Gram-Schmidt and SFIM were better for improving the land cover classification accuracy.展开更多

In order to accurately calculate the geometric characteristics of any point on the discrete curve, a distance-based Gaussian weighted algorithm is proposed to estimate the geometric characteristics of three-dimensional space discrete curves. According to the definition of discrete derivatives, the algorithm fully considers the relative position difference between a specific point and its neighboring points, introduces the distance weighting idea, and integrates the smoothing strategy. The experiment uses two spatial discrete curves for uniform and non-uniform sampling, and compares them with two commonly used estimation algorithms. The comparative analysis is carried out in terms of sampling density, neighborhood radius and noise resistance. The experimental results show that the Gaussian distance weighted algorithm is effective and provides an efficient algorithm for underground pipeline safety detection.展开更多

All data in FPGA-based wave pipelining pass through a number of logic gates, in the same way that all data pass through the same number of registers in a conventional pipeline. Moreover, all paths are routed using identical routing resources. The manual placement, timing driven routing and timing analyzing techniques are applied to optimize the layout for achieving good path balance. Experimental results show that a 256-LUT logic depth circuit mapped on XC4VLX15-12 runs as high as 330 MHz, whichis a little lower than the speed of 336 MHz based on the conventional 16-stage pipelining in the same chip. The latency of the wave pipelining circuit is 30.3 ns, which is 36.4% shorter than the latency of 16-stage conventional pipelining circuit.展开更多
