    Abstract: Identification of pulmonary diseases involves accurate auscultation as well as elaborate and expensive pulmonary function tests. Also, there is a dependency on a reference signal from a flowmeter or need for labelled respiratory phases. The present disclosure provides extraction of frequency and time-frequency domain lung sound features such as spectral and spectrogram features respectively that enable classification of healthy and abnormal lung sounds without the dependencies of prior art. Furthermore extraction of wavelet and cepstral features improves accuracy of classification. The lung sound signals are pre-processed prior to feature extraction to eliminate heart sounds and reduce computational requirements while ensuring that information providing adequate discrimination between healthy and abnormal lung sounds is not lost.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to telecommunication networks, and more particularly to a method and system for delay aware uplink scheduling in a communication network. The telecommunication network performs data uplink and data downlink associated with data communication between multiple transmitter-receiver pairs connected to the network, by using specific scheduling schema as part of the data processing. Disclosed are method and system for performing a delay-aware uplink scheduling in the communication network. For an uplink request received from a transmitter, the system estimates downlink delay at the corresponding receiver side. The system further estimates a processing delay for the received uplink request. Based on the estimated downlink delay and the processing delay, the system determines an uplink delay budget for the transmitter. Further, based on the uplink delay budget and an achievable data rate computed for the transmitter, the system schedules uplink for the transmitter.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-invasive, inexpensive and unobtrusive system that enables heart rate (HR) monitoring by addressing the traditionally known issues with face video based systems due to respiration, facial expressions, out-of-plane movements, camera parameters and environmental factors. These issues are alleviated by filtering, pulse modelling and HR tracking. Quality measures are defined which incorporate out-of-plane movements to define the quality of each video frame unlike existing approaches which provide a single quality for the entire video. To handle out-of-plane movement, Fourier basis function is employed to reconstruct pulse signals at affected locations. Bayesian decision theory based method performs HR tracking using previous HR and quality estimates for improved HR monitoring.

    Abstract: A system and method for real time estimation of heart rate (HR) from one or more face videos acquired in non-invasive manner. The system receives face videos and obtains several blocks as ROI consisting of facial skin areas. Subsequently, the temporal fragments are extracted from the blocks and filtered to minimize the noise. In the next stage, several temporal fragments are extracted from the video. The several temporal fragments, corrupted by noise are determined using an image processing range filter and pruned for further processing. The HR of each temporal fragment, referred as local HR is estimated along with its quality. Eventually, a quality based fusion is applied to estimate a global HR corresponding to the received face videos. In addition, the disclosure herein is also applicable for frontal, profile and multiple faces and performs in real-time.

    Abstract: A system and method for resource utilization in a constrained sensor gateway for transfer of data in terms of the bandwidth and energy available to transfer data. The system includes a processor in communication with the constrained sensor gateway, which includes an application layer protocol and which is in communication with a communication network, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory includes a network condition detection module configured to detect a network condition of the constrained sensor gateway, and an adaption module configured to determine a reliability score. The application layer protocol of the constrained sensor gateway adapts a reliability level based on the reliability score determined by the adaption module, which enables better utilization of the bandwidth and energy to transfer data. The reliability level may pertain to a reliable mode, or a non-reliable mode of communication for transferring data.
