Detecting EEG Sleep Spindles by Digital Filtering with Zero Phase Error

EEG signal is a kind of very complex non stationary signal. It is of important clinical values for using EEG most efficiently to distinguish all kinds of components in EEG or getting needed components to judge some pathology features effectively. The phase moving of the system can change the relative phase relation between the components in the inputed signal, so there can be a great change of the feature in time domain of inputed signal. The FRR and RRF digital filtering methods and their realization are discussed. By using these methods, the system can be of the feature of zero phase error, and the filtering of EEG signals with zero phase error can be realized. Based on the definition of sleep spindles, we can detect sleep spindles in time domain directly by using digital filtering with zero phase error.

A time-varying signal processing method for Coriolis mass flowmeter

The mass flowrate of Coriolis mass flowmeter in practical application has slow changes with time. To solve the problem, an improved time-varying signal model whose frequency, amplitude and phase are time-varying based on the random walk model is established firstly. A new algorithm of adaptive notch filter with the capability of tracking frequency variation is applied to filter the sensor output signal of Coriolis mass flowmeter and its frequency is calculated next. An adaptive line enhancer based on the mentioned notch filter extracts fundamental frequency signal from noisy data. Then, by short window intercepting, the revised sliding DTFT recursive algorithm is introduced to calculate the real-time phase difference between two enhanced signals. With the frequency and phase difference obtained, the time interval between the two signals is calculated and then the mass flowrate is derived. The simulations and field test results show that the proposed method can not only track the change of frequency and phase, but also ensure the calculation accuracy when measuring small phase difference. The computational load of the algorithm is simple so that it can be applied to real-time signal processing for Coriolis mass flowmeter.

Binary phase only filter based watermarking combined with discrete wavelet transform

The binary phase only filter (BPOF) based digital image watermarking combined with a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was proposed. Firstly, the DWT transform was applied to an image. Then, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) was applied to the low frequency subband of the DWT transform. Next, the phase information of the DFT was binarized to obtain the BPOF, which would be taken as the watermark and embedded into the corresponding magnitude. Compared to applying the DFT transform to the whole image and embedding the BPOF watermark in the entire frequency range, or in the low frequency range, the watermark robustness in JPEG compression is improved significantly while maintaining the watermark imperceptibility and detection efficiency. This method may be used to demonstrate the authenticity and integrity of an image. The simulation experiments demonstrate the efficiency of this method.
