Experimental Procedure
Instructor Pilot Interviews Studying pilot fatigue through flight dynamics has never been attempted before which manifests one question, where to start? For a study on pilot fatigue in which none of the researchers had any flying experience, it made sense to begin by...Pilot Fatigue Detection Using Aircraft State Variables
Pilot fatigue has been proven to be the cause of many aviation accidents. Fatigue introduces error into the pilot’s inputs, which can potentially lead to accidents. To date,fatigue has been widely researched through physiological variables and sleep studies. Often,...Smart Thermostat
Smart Thermostat In this post, we talk about Smart Thermostat. Smart thermostat is a typical example of the automated HVAC operation control technologies. The smart thermostat is developed to adjust the set point temperature automatically respecting the user’s comfort...Signal Model and Problem Statement
Signal Model and Problem Statement In this post, we talk about Signal Model and Problem Statement. The Nyquist bandwidth is denoted by W and it is composed of K disjoint. sub-bands representing the PU’s. The bandwidth of each sub-band is upper bounded by B Hz...Introduction of Neural Recording Channels
Information processing in the brain is carried out by large groups of interconnected neurons. Neurons are the cells responsible for encoding, transmitting, and integrating signals originating inside or outside the nervous system. The transmission of information within...Compressed Sensing in Local CT Reconstruction
Compressed Sensing in Local CT Reconstruction One potential method for reducing the radiation dose is to limit the exposure area to those regions that need to be examined, as illustrated in figure 1. Reconstruction methods based on the FBP technique are non-local...Generation of CT(Computed Tomography) scanners
First Generation The first generation CT scanners consisted of a dedicated head scanner with a water filled box. Pencil-width collimated beams of X-ray were used and these were detected on the opposite side using a single detector. The width of the X-ray beam was 3 mm...ZOOM – A Reduced Field of View Method
In 1988, Mansfield et al. published a method to reduce the full field of view FOV and allow what was termed “zonal image magnification for EPI” (ZEPI) [90] Mansfield considered two reduced FOV pulse sequence designs for echo planar imaging (EPI) in this publication to...Volumetric Optical Coherence Tomography
Rapid Volumetric OCT Image Acquisition transformations, such as wavelet and discrete cosine transforms. The popular JPEG-2000 image compression algorithm implements a version of the decimated wavelet transform with great success. During the compression stage, many of...Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System
Breast Cancer According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most commonly detected type of malignant tumor in women. For 2014, more than 230,000 new cases are expected to be diagnosed, amounting to 29% of the total number of new cancer cases in women....Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that enables the reconstruction of cross-sections of an object, using a series of X-ray measurements taken from many angles around the object. The first CT scanner was introduced by...Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
Different kind of Endoscopy Endoscopy was introduced to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body by directly inserting an endoscope inside the body. It has shown tremendous success in examination of gastroenterology (GI) tract. Currently, there are...Medical image computing
Over the last decade, medical image computing and analysis has evolved into one of the most important fields within the biomedical imaging community . This is largely attributed to the rapid progress in computerized medical image visualization, advances in analysis...Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) Figure 1.1: An Ophthalmic imaging system for the Retina (anterior portion of the eye). The acquired image is called a fundus image. has become a vital part of medical evaluations and pathology detection in the United States [1]....Collagen I and Breast Cancer
The interaction between cells and extracellular collagen I plays an important role in maintaining normal cell behavior , and the disruption of this interaction is one of the hallmarks of the transition from in normal tissue to malignancy (Figure 1). It is still not...
