there are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. in this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using gr logs. second approximation level (a2) of gr log gained...

Leaf identification is a challenging research. So far, many approaches have been proposed. In this paper, an approach that combines Fourier descriptors with other shape features was investigated to identify 100 hundred kinds of leaves. The result shows that the combination of Fourier descriptors and several other shape features can be used to identify leaves with the accuracy rate of 88%. This ...

With efficient tools for computing the Fourier transform in hand, in this lecture we briefly describe issues that arise when we try to use this tool to analyze signals. We will discuss two major issues. The first is the effect of only collecting a finite number of samples x[0], . . . , x[L − 1], rather than observing x[n] for all n. The second is what happens when the signal of interest has fre...

In this paper we present an example of the use of the singing voice as a controller for digital music synthesis. The analysis of the voice with spectral processing techniques, derived from the Short-Time Fourier Transform, provides ways of determining a performer’s vocal intentions. We demonstrate a prototype, in which the extracted vocal features drive the synthesis of a plucked bass guitar. T...
