The successful development of video-based services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting integrative approaches that jointly address video signal processing and networking issues. Multimedia data characteristics, coding standards and functionalities, as well as network protocols performance and channel behavior are some of the key aspects that need to be carefully examined i...

muscle fatigue assessment has been the basis of numerous studies, specifically, in neuromuscular rehabilitation and the applications of fessystems. various emgbased techniques, in time and frequency domains, have been investigatedover years for the detection and evaluationof this phenomenon. the main objective of this study has beento evaluate the efficiency of applying a number of techniques w...

background: muscle fatigue is an important issue in neuromuscular rehabilitation. better control of this phenomenon would result in better prevention of its consequent physiological damages. objective: to provide a mathematical representation of muscle fatigue as a function of time. methods: we conducted this study by combining the emg-based estimation methods of muscle activation with the avai...

introduction: purkinje cell (pc) output displays a complex firing pattern consisting of high frequency sodium spikes and low frequency calcium spikes, and disruption in this firing behavior may contribute to cerebellar ataxia. riluzole, neuroprotective agent, has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects in cerebellar ataxia. here, the spectral analysis of pcs firing in control, 3-acety...

The file size and picture quality are factors to be considered for streaming, storage and transmitting videos over networks. This work compares Cinepak, Intel, Microsoft Video and Indeo Codec for video compression. The peak signal to noise ratio is used to compare the quality of such video compressed using AVI codecs. The most widely used objective measurement by developers of video processing ...

Deblocking and deringing are two video post-processing techniques largely used to remove coding artifacts and improve the visual quality when rendering low bit rate coded video. The algorithms used to achieve these tasks are computationally intensive and usually require high speed processors to be able to run in real time. Efficient implementations of signal adaptive filters for video post-proc...

A number of techniques for the compressed sensing of imagery are surveyed. Various imaging media are considered, including still images, motion video, as well as multiview image sets and multiview video. A particular emphasis is placed on block-based compressed sensing due to its advantages in terms of both lightweight reconstruction complexity as well as a reduced memory burden for the random-...

Historically, multiple description coding (MDC) and post-processing error concealment (ECN) algorithms for video have evolved separately. Although multiple description coding provides a way to make the video quality degrade gracefully in the presence of packet losses, the resulting quality may be unsatisfactory when only one description is used to reconstruct the signal. This paper proposes a c...
