Forecasting the number of patient visits to hospitals has aroused an increasingly large interest from both theoretic and application perspectives. To enhance the accuracy of forecasting hospital visits, this paper proposes a hybrid approach by coupling wavelet decomposition (WD) and artificial neural network (ANN) under the framework of “decomposition and ensemble”. In this model, the WD is fir...

Introduction: Evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. Most brain-computer interface (BCI) systems use the P300 component,  which is an evoked potential. In this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden Markov model (HMM) for  detection of P300.  Materials and Methods: The wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...

In this article, a method has been offered to classify normal and defective tiles using wavelet transform and artificial neural networks. The proposed algorithm calculates max and min medians as well as the standard deviation and average of detail images obtained from wavelet filters, then comes by feature vectors and attempts to classify the given tile using a Perceptron neural network with a ...

in this paper, we present an edge detection method based on wavelet transform and hessian matrix of image at each pixel. many methods which based on wavelet transform, use wavelet transform to approximate the gradient of image and detect edges by searching the modulus maximum of gradient vectors. in our scheme, we use wavelet transform to approximate hessian matrix of image at each pixel, too. ...

This paper presents a new multi-sensor data fusion method based on the combination of wavelet transform (WT) and extended Kalman filter (EKF). Input data are first filtered by a wavelet transform via Daubechies wavelet “db4” functions and the filtered data are then fused based on variance weights in terms of minimum mean square error. The fused data are finally treated by extended Kalman filter...

This paper presents the development of a wavelet based algorithm, for distinguishing between magnetizing inrush currents and power system fault currents, which is quite adequate, reliable, fast and computationally efficient tool. The proposed technique consists of a preprocessing unit based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) in combination with an artificial neural network (ANN) for detecting ...

Curve and surface thinning are widely-used skeletonization techniques for modeling objects in 3 dimensions. In the case of disordered porous media analysis, however, neither is really efficient since the internal geometry of the object is usually composed of both rod and plate shapes. This paper concludes an application of discrete wavelet transform (WT) and complex wavelet transform (CWT) in i...
