Many signal processing and decision making algorithms reported in contemporary literature characterize the performance of the proposed methods utilizing decision error rates. However there is significant need for strategies that provide quantitative assessment of the fidelity of decisions made by the algorithms. This paper develops novel techniques utilizing which fidelity measures can be assigned quantitatively on some prevalent signal detection algorithms. The developed fidelity measurement methods with the detection algorithms are employed for topography imaging utilizing dynamic mode atomic force microscope (AFM). The AFM is a versatile metrology tool for interrogating material at the nano-scale. In spite of its remarkable achievements, a key issue that remains largely unaddressed is the assessment of fidelity of the measurement data. The developed paradigm facilitates user specific priority for either detection of sample features with high decision confidence or on not missing detection of true features. The fidelity measures presented here are suitable for real-time implementation. A detailed comparative study is presented to characterize the proposed signal detection algorithms and fidelity measurement techniques under practical AFM applications. Comprehensive simulation and experimental data corroborate the effectiveness of proposed methods.

The noise sensitivities of nine different QRS detection algorithms were measured for a normal, single-channel, lead-II, synthesized ECG corrupted with five different types of synthesized noise: electromyographic interference, 60-Hz power line interference, baseline drift due to respiration, abrupt baseline shift, and a composite noise constructed from all of the other noise types. The percentage of QRS complexes detected, the number of false positives, and the detection delay were measured. None of the algorithms were able to detect all QRS complexes without any false positives for all of the noise types at the highest noise level. algorithms based on amplitude and slope had the highest performance for EMG-corrupted ECG. An algorithm using a digital filter had the best performance for the composite-noise-corrupted data.

A dynamic programming algorithm, developed in [1]-[4] for obtaining the joint estimate of carrier phase and data, is applied to multi h continuous phase modulation. A MAP estimator detects data and jointly tracks carrier phase consisting of a normal random walk phase jitter process. Monte Carlo computer simulations are used to evaluate the probability of error performance for two receivers employed in demodulation of multi- h CPM signals. A simplified algorithm is proposed which yields up to a tenfold reduction in computation time at the expense of less than 1 dB in signal-to-noise ratio at the error rates computed, and for suitable ranges of phase jitter increments variance.

To prevent sudden cardiac death of patients who are at risk from long standing tachyarrhythmia the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the first choice therapy. ICDs use a range of electrostimuli up to defibrillation, which is a non synchronous high energy shock, whereas cardioversion is synchronous with the ECG. In order to know when and how to react, a detection algorithm, which analyses an intracardial electrocardiogram (ECG) and classifies the heart rhythm, is implemented in every ICD. All detection algorithms use the heart rate to classify the different heart rhythms roughly. If a tachycardia is detected, it is important to discriminate between a ventricular tachycardia, which is life threatening and a supraventricular tachycardia, which is much less threatening. To be able to make this distinction the detection algorithms analyse the behaviour of the heart cycle intervals, the ECG-morphology or in addition to the ventricular ECG, an atrial ECG. In this paper morphological algorithms will be evaluated and newly developed algorithms will be presented. Recent algorithms use the mathematical wavelet theory. The evaluation shows that these get better results than all but one of the simpler classical morphological algorithms. A new wavelet based algorithm, developed by the authors, exhibits the best detection results.

A warning system has been set up to detect unusual weekly clusters of deaths by age group and municipality using all-cause Swedish death registry data. The technique for monitoring deaths by age group (<1, 1-24, 25-44, 45-64 and 65 plus) and week uses a compound smoothing technique, which calculates a baseline of expected events from retrospective data. Due to insufficient baseline data for the geographical component of the system a different algorithm, based on the Poisson distribution, was chosen to calculate expected weekly number of deaths per municipality, adjusting for municipalities with inherently higher mortality rates. This system was designed and tested during 2004 and implemented from the beginning of 2005. Threshold settings have been adjusted to provide a realistic number of weekly alerts. An evaluation of the system will be performed prospectively from the beginning of 2005 due to the lack of a gold standard for retrospective performance evaluation.

The performance of a mean-level detector is considered for the case where one or more interfering target returns are present in the set of cells used in estimating the clutter-plus-noise level. A serious degradation of detection probability is demonstrated for all of the single-pulse Swerling target fluctuation models (i. e., cases 0, 2, and 4). Indeed, for fixed mean radar cross sections of the primary and interfering targets, the probability of detecting the primary target is asymptotic to values significantly less than unity as the signal-to-noise ratios of the returns approach infinity. A class of alternative adaptive detection procedures is proposed and analyzed. These procedures, based on ranking and censoring techniques, maintain acceptable performance in the presence of interfering targets, and require only a minor addition in hardware to a conventional mean-level detector.

Local operators are used to detect linear features in Landsat data for an area where such features are typically less than 1 pixel in width. A modification to existing techniques is made which gives improved results. The choice of threshold for the detector algorithm is investigated by considering line and background intensity, linewidths, and line alignment with respect to the pixel boundaries and spatial autocorrelation in the data set. It is found that results will always contain a significant amount of noise. Two postprocessing techniques are described which reduce this noise by utilizing contextual information in the data.

algorithms are described which make use of polarimetric radar information in the detection and discrimination of targets in a ground clutter background. The optimal polarimetric detector (OPD) is derived. This algorithm processes the complete polarization scattering matrix (PSM) and provides the best possible detection performance from polarimetric radar data. Also derived is the best linear polarimetric detector, the polarimetric matched filter (PMF), and the structure of this detector is related to simple polarimetric target types. New polarimetric target and clutter models are described and used to predict the performance of the OPD and the PME. The performance of these algorithms is compared with that of simpler detectors that use only amplitude information to detect targets. The ability to discriminate between target types by exploring differences in polarimetric properties is discussed.

We propose novel detection algorithms for linear modulations transmitted over nonlinear satellite channels, also impaired by additive white Gaussian noise. These algorithms are derived by using a Volterra-series expansion of the useful signal and by applying the sum-product algorithm to a suitably-designed factor graph. Being soft-input soft-output (SISO) in nature, the proposed detectors can be adopted in turbo processing without additional modifications. Typical linear modulations employed in satellite transmissions are considered in the numerical results. When compared with the optimal detection algorithm for these channels, whose complexity is exponential in the channel memory, the proposed schemes result very appealing in terms of tradeoff between performance and computational complexity. Particularly, the proposed schemes can approach the optimal performance with a complexity only linear in the channel memory.
