The presentation concerns a method for tracking cycle lengths in voiced speech and breaking up vocal cycle length fluctuations in cycle length jitter and cycle length tremor. The tracking of the cycle lengths is based on a dynamic programming algorithm, which does not request that the signal is locally periodic and that the average period length is known a priori. The cycle length time series a...

In this paper, an alternative optimization based approach to the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed. The principle is to build first an approximation of the signal mean envelope, which serves as initial guess for the optimization procedure. We develop several optimization strategies to approximate the mean envelope which compare favorably with the original EMD on AM/FM signals.

This article focuses on the image fusion of high-resolution panchromatic and multispectral images. We propose a new image fusion method based on a Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) color space model and bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD), by integrating high-frequency component of panchromatic image into multispectral image and optimizing the BEMD in decreasing sifting time, simplifying...

BACKGROUND Stroke caused by brain ischemia is the third leading cause of adult disability. Active prevention and early treatment of stroke targeting the causes and risk factors may decrease its incidence, mortality and subsequent disability. Pien Tze Huang (PZH), a Chinese medicine formula, was found to have anti-edema, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects that can prevent brain damage...
