The Savitzky–Golay smoothing and differentiation filter optimally fits a set of data points to a polynomial in the least-squares sense. The Savitzky–Golay filter has been developed and generalized well in the literatures. However, the data subset is subject to an odd number ð2m þ 1Þ: In this communication, the Savitzky–Golay filter is extended for even number data. Simulations are performed to ...

The weighing lysimeters provide scientist the basic information for research related to the evapotranspiration, high quality of the collected data from lysimeters is of great significance. However there are many factors that can affect the measurement accuracy of the weighing lysimeter. In this paper, a data acquisition system was developed to collect the data from 24 weighing lysimeters. The c...

Sir: In 1964 a paper by Savitzky and Golay ( I ) describing a technique of smoothing and obtaining smoothed derivatives using convolution arrays derived from the coefficients of least-squares-fit formulas was published in this journal. That paper has become a classic judging by the number of citations @-well over 350 in more than 100 different journals-since its publication despite the fact tha...

Vegetation temperature condition index (VTCI) is a near-real-time drought monitoring approach which is derived from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) changes in a given region to land surface temperature (LST) changes of pixels with a given NDVI value.It can be physically explained as the ratio of temperature differences among the pixels which have the same NDVI values.Due to the no...

image analysis is an image processing technique that aims to extract features or information from images. image analysis in medicine has a special place because is a basis for disease diagnosis for physicians. electrophoresis is a laboratory separating technique. electrophoresis images are created during the electrophoresis process. serum protein and hemoglobin electrophoresis test are the most...

Several existing strategies for estimating the axial intensity derivative in the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) from multiple intensity measurements have been unified by the Savitzky-Golay differentiation filter--an equivalent convolution solution for differentiation estimation by least-squares polynomial fitting. The different viewpoint from the digital filter in signal processing not o...

In this paper novel compression techniques are developed for portable heart-monitoring equipment that could also form the basis for more intelligent diagnostic systems thanks to the way the compression algorithms depend on signal classification. There are two main categories of compression which are employed for electrocardiogram signals: lossless and lossy. Design of an optimal Wiener filter i...

Uninformative biological variability elimination methods were studied in the near-infrared calibration model for predicting the soluble solids content of apples. Four different preprocessing methods, namely, Savitzky-Golay smoothing, multiplicative scatter correction, standard normal variate, and mean normalization, as well as their combinations were conducted on raw Fourier transform near-infr...
