Automated Measurement of Neuromuscular Jitter Based on EMG Signal Decomposition
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)The quantitative analysis of decomposed electromyographic (EMG) signals reveals information for diagnosing and characterizing neuromuscular disorders. Neuromuscular jitter is an important measure that reflects the stability ... -
Automated recognition of handwritten mathematics
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-17)Most software programs that deal with mathematical objects require input expressions to be linearized using somewhat awkward and unfamiliar string-based syntax. It is natural to desire a method for inputting mathematics ... -
Automatic Identification of Algae using Low-cost Multispectral Fluorescence Digital Microscopy, Hierarchical Classification & Deep Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-05)Harmful algae blooms (HABs) can produce lethal toxins and are a rising global concern. In response to this threat, many organizations are monitoring algae populations to determine if a water body might be contaminated. ... -
Distance Measures for Probabilistic Patterns
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-07)Numerical measures of pattern dissimilarity are at the heart of pattern recognition and classification. Applications of pattern recognition grow more sophisticated every year, and consequently we require distance measures ... -
Image Analysis Applications of the Maximum Mean Discrepancy Distance Measure
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)The need to quantify distance between two groups of objects is prevalent throughout the signal processing world. The difference of group means computed using the Euclidean, or L2 distance, is one of the predominant distance ... -
Neuromuscular Clinical Decision Support using Motor Unit Potentials Characterized by 'Pattern Discovery'
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)Objectives: Based on the analysis of electromyographic (EMG) data muscles are often characterized as normal or affected by a neuromuscular disease process. A clinical decision support system (CDSS) for the electrophysiological ... -
Regular Pattern Detection and Analysis Using Shapelets
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-27)The presence of regular patterns in natural and technological phenomena is pervasive, often being present in both time and space. To increase our understanding of many phenomena where patterns are present, measurable ... -
Statistical Model-Based Corneal Reconstruction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-10)Precise measurements of corneal layer thickness are required to treat, evaluate risk of, and determine the progression of pathologies within the eye. The thickness measurements are typically acquired as 2d images, known ... -
Three-dimensional wake development and structural loading on dual step cylinders in cross-flow
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-31)Many cylindrical structures in engineering applications undergo flow-induced periodic loading due to the vortex shedding phenomenon. This can lead to early fatigue failure and be a source of unwanted noise. To mitigate or ... -
Transparent Decision Support Using Statistical Evidence
(University of Waterloo, 2005)An automatically trained, statistically based, fuzzy inference system that functions as a classifier is produced. The hybrid system is designed specifically to be used as a decision support system. This hybrid system ...
