    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for denoising of physiological signals. A signal (e.g., physiological signal) comprising at least two signal channels can be decomposed (e.g., using independent component analysis (ICA)) into at least two independent components. Then, independent component (IC) denoising can be applied to estimate which of the at least two independent components belong to a signal space and which of the at least two independent components belong to a noise space using a statistical metric associated with the at least two signal channels. A de-noised version of the signal can be generated by preserving in the signal only one or more independent components of the at least two independent components belonging to the signal space.

    摘要: The rate at which data is provided by one device and the rate at which that data is processed by another device may differ. For example, a transmitting device may transmit data according to a transmit clock while a receiving device that receives the transmitted data may process the data according to a receive clock. If there is a timing mismatch between the transmit and receive clocks, the receiving device may receive data faster or slower than it processes the data. In such a case, there may be errors relating to the processing of the received data. To address timing mismatches such as this, the receiving device may delete data from or insert data into the received data. In conjunction with these operations, the receiving device may modify the received data at or near the insertion point or the deletion point in a manner that mitigates any adverse effect the insertion or deletion may have on a resulting output signal.

    摘要: Low latency and computationally efficient techniques may be employed to account for errors in data such as low bit-width, oversampled data. In some aspects these techniques may be employed to mitigate audio artifacts associated with sigma-delta modulated audio data. In some aspects an error may be detected in a set of encoded data based on an outcome of a channel decoding process. Upon determining that a set of data may contain at least one error, the set of data may be replaced with another set of data that is based on one or more neighboring data sets. For example, in some aspects a set of data including at least one bit in error may be replaced with data that is generated by applying a cross-fading operation to neighboring data sets. In some aspects a given data bit may be flipped as a result of a linear prediction operation that is applied to PCM equivalent data that is associated with the given data bit and its neighboring data bits. In some aspects a set of data including at least one bit in error may be replaced with data that is generated by performing linear interpolation operations on PCM equivalent data that is associated with neighboring data sets.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for audio signal processing by applying log companding on spectral domain or time domain representations of the audio signals to provide an encoded audio signal, which is decoded upon receipt. A frequency domain representation or time domain representation of the audio signal is computed by separating the audio signal into specific frequency bands, each having a coefficient. Log companding with different compression ratios is performed on each coefficient to provide an encoded signal. Upon receipt of the encoded signal, inverse log companding and time frequency or time scale reconstruction are performed to provide the audio signal.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for compressed sensing (CS). The CS is a signal processing concept wherein significantly fewer sensor measurements than that suggested by Shannon/Nyquist sampling theorem can be used to recover signals with arbitrarily fine resolution. In this disclosure, the CS framework is applied for sensor signal processing in order to support low power robust sensors and reliable communication in Body Area Networks (BANs) for healthcare and fitness applications.
