Noise in biomedical measurements has a negative effect on the accuracy of the solutions obtained. Therefore various filtering methods have been proposed in literature to reduce the effects of noise. In our previous studies we have demonstrated the application of one dimensional Anisotropic Diffusion Filter (ADF) to suppress the effects of measurement and geometric noise in body surface potential measurements (BSPM) with the goal of improving the corresponding solutions of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG). In this study, we used two dimensional AD filter to cancel the noise on the body surface potentials and we compared the results to our previous observations. We used unfiltered and filtered BSPMs to estimate the epicardial potential distributions

Comparison of Kalman filter and Bayesian-MAP approaches in the spatio-temporal solution of the inverse electrocardiography Ters elektrokardiyografinin zaman-uzamsal çözümünde Kalman filtre ve Bayes-MAP yöntemlerinin karşilaştirilmasi
Aydin, Ümit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2010-07-15)
In this study some of the spatial and spatio-temporal methods for the solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) are compared with each other. Comparisons are also made for the cases with geometric errors, where the location of the heart is shifted for 10mm and the size of the heart is reduced by 5%. The compared methods are the Kalman filter and Bayesian maximum a posteriori estimation (MAP). Two different Bayesian-MAP algorithms are used. While one uses only spatial information the other...
Non-linear filtering based on observations from Gaussian processes
Gustafsson, Fredrik; Saha, Saikat; Orguner, Umut (2011-03-12)
We consider a class of non-linear filtering problems, where the observation model is given by a Gaussian process rather than the common non-linear function of the state and measurement noise. The new observation model can be considered as a generalization of the standard one with correlated measurement noise in both time and space. We propose a particle filter based approach with a measurement update step that requires a memory of past observations which can be truncated using a moving window to obtain a fi...
Estimation of state transition matrix in the Kalman filter based inverse ECG solution with the help of training sets Ters EKG probleminin Kalman filtre ile çözümünde durum geçiş matrisinin eǧitici kümeler yardimi ile kestirimi
Aydin, Ümit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-10-27)
At this study the main motivation is to solve inverse problem of ECG with Kalman filter. In order to obtain feasible solutions determination of the state transition matrix (STM) correctly is vital. In literature the STM is usually found by using the test data itself which is not a realistic scenario. The major goal of this study is to determine STM without using test data. For that purpose a two stage method is suggested. At the first step the probability density function (pdf) is calculated using training ...
Improved performance of Bayesian solutions for inverse Electrocardiography using multiple information sources
Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; MACLEOD, Robert (2006-10-01)
The usual goal in inverse electrocardiography (ECG) is to reconstruct cardiac electrical sources from body surface potentials and a mathematical model that relates the sources to the measurements. Due to attenuation and smoothing that occurs in the thorax, the inverse ECG problem is ill-posed and imposition of a priori constraints is needed to combat this ill-posedness. When the problem is posed in terms of reconstructing heart surface potentials, solutions have not yet achieved clinical utility; limitation...
Hygrothermal fracture analysis of fibrous composites with variable fiber spacing using JK-integral
Saeidi, Farid; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
In this study, a Jk-integral based computational method will be developed to conduct fracture analysis of fibrous composite laminates that possess variable fiber spacing. This study will be carried out for the fibrous composites exposed to not only thermal but also hygroscopic boundary condition, which results hygrothermal load. Formulation of the Jk-integral will be carried out by using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic hygrothermoelasticity. One of the most important challenges of this study...
