High false alarm rates in the ICU decrease quality of care by slowing staff response times while increasing patient delirium through noise pollution. The 2015 PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge provides a set of 1250 multi-parameter ICU data segments associated with critical arrhythmia alarms, and challenges the general research community to address the issue of false alarm suppression...

The authors examined false recognition of semantic associates in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD), older adults, and young adults using a paradigm that provided rates of false recognition after single and multiple exposures to word lists. Using corrected false recognition scores to control for unrelated false alarms, the authors found that (a) the level of false recognition after...

False arrhythmia alarms pose a major threat to the quality of care in today's ICU. Thus, the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2015 aimed at reducing false alarms by exploiting multimodal cardiac signals recorded by a patient monitor. False alarms for asystole, extreme bradycardia, extreme tachycardia, ventricular flutter/fibrillation as well as ventricular tachycardia were to be redu...

This paper describes the experimental framework of the University of Queensland’s Multimedia Search Group (UQMSG) at TRECVID 2011. We participated in two tasks this year, both for the first time. For the semantic indexing task, we submitted four lite runs: L A UQMSG1 1, L A UQMSG2 2, L A UQMSG3 3 and L A UQMSG4 4. They are all of training type A (actually we only used IACC.1.tv10.training data)...

Inland water is an important part of the Earth’s cycle. Mapping inland vital for understanding surface hydrology and climate change. Spaceborne global navigation satellite systems reflectometry (GNSS-R) has been proven to be effective technique detect bodies. This paper proposes a new method map bodies using delay-Doppler (DDM) measurements provided by GNSS-R platform Cyclone GNSS (CYGNSS). In ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether certain previously reported relationships between event-related potentials and measures of signal detection performance occur in vigilance as well as psychophysical settings. In the course of the study, evidence was found which challenges previously proposed psychological correlates of "P300". EEG was recorded while 15 subjects carried out a 40...

Among ship detection methods for SAR image, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is the most important one. However, several factors, such as detector parameter and distribution of ocean clutter, affect the performance of CFAR detection. This paper proposes a novel hierarchical complete and operational ship detection approach based on detector parameter estimation and clutter pixel replacement, whi...

This paper proposes a technique for using infrared (IR) imagery to eliminate false forward-looking ground penetrating radar (FLGPR) detections by examining areas in IR images corresponding to FLGPR alarm locations. The FLGPR and IR co-location is based on the assumption of a flat earth and the pinhole camera model. The parameters of the camera and its location on the vehicle are not assumed to ...
