Classification of Signals

Classification of Signals

In signal processing, signals are classified based on various characteristics: continuous-time versus discrete-time, periodic versus aperiodic, analog versus digital, and causal versus noncausal. Each category highlights distinct properties crucial for understanding and manipulating signals.
A continuous-time signal holds a value at every instant in time, representing information seamlessly. In contrast, a discrete-time signal holds values only at specific moments, often denoted as x(n), where...

Seizures: Classification

Seizures: Classification

Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Signal Processing
Artificial Intelligence

Background:

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability globally.
Microwave imaging offers a portable solution for medical diagnostics.
Accurate stroke classification from microwave signals remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an accurate stroke classification method using microwave imaging.
To link identified microwave signal features back to the original data for interpretability.
To propose a wavelet convolutional neural network (CNN) for enhanced stroke detection.

Main Methods:

A wavelet convolutional neural network (CNN) was proposed, integrating multiresolution analysis with CNNs.
A game theoretic approach was employed for model explanation and feature identification.
The algorithm was validated using simulated data and experimental data from head phantoms, incorporating noise and manufacturing tolerances.

Main Results:

Classification accuracy ranged from 81.7% in 3D simulations to 95.7% in lab experiments.
The model successfully identified key features for discriminating between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
Wavelet coefficients within 0.95-1.45 GHz and time slots of 1.3-1.7 ns were found to be significant.

Conclusions:

The proposed wavelet CNN provides an effective and accurate method for stroke classification via microwave imaging.
The approach enhances the interpretability of microwave imaging by linking features to specific stroke types.
This technology holds promise for portable, non-invasive stroke diagnosis.
