Therapy for DMD has been primarily palliative, with oral steroids emerging as a first-line approach even though this treatment has serious side-effects. Consequently, low-cost imaging technology suitable for improved diagnosis and treatment monitoring of DMD would be of great value, especially in remote and underserved areas. Previously, we reported use of the logarithm of the signal energy, log[Ef], and a new method for ultrasound signal characterization using entropy, Hf, to monitor prednisolone treatment of skeletal muscle in a dystrophin-deficient mouse model. Three groups were studied: mdx mice treated with prednisolone, a control group of mdx mice treated with saline, and a control group of wild-type mice treated with saline. It was found that both log[Ef] and Hf were required to statistically differentiate the three groups. In the current study, we show that preprocessing of the raw ultrasound using optimal smoothing splines before computation of either log[Ef] or a rapidly computable variant of Hf, denoted If,infinity, permits delineation of all three groups by either metric alone. This opens the way to the ultimate goal of this study, which is identification and implementation of new diagnostically sensitive algorithms on the new generation of low-cost hand-held clinical ultrasonic imaging systems.}, DOI = {10.1109/TUFFC.2011.2093}, URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TUFFC.2011.2093}, Journal = {IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control}, Pages = {2361--2369}, Volume = {58}, Number = {11}, Month = {November}, Year = {2011})

In contrast, the signal energy defined as the sum of squares of the signal over the same moving window, was unable to detect this change (as was conventional B-mode imaging). Although the computational effort to obtain the result precluded its clinical application with currently available equipment, the study raised the possibility of further sensitivity improvements by using values of r closer to the limiting value of 2, where I_f(r) approaches infinity.

However, there are still problems with playing Compact Discs related to surface faults like scratches and fingerprints. two servo control olops are used to keep the Optical Pick-up Unit focused on the information track of the Compact Disc. The problem is to design servo controllers which are well suited for handling surface faults that disturb position measurements, yet still react sufficiently against normal disturbances like mechanical shocks. In this paper a novel method called feature based control is presented. The method is based on a fault tolerant control scheme, which uses extracted features of the surface faults to remove those from the detector signals used for control during the occurence of surface faults. The extracted features are Karhunen--Lo\`eve approximations of the surface faults. The performance of the feature based control scheme is validated by experimental work with Compact Discs having known surface defects. }, Journal = {Control Engineering Practice}, Volume = {14}, Number = {12}, Pages = {1495--1509}, Institution = {Washington University}, Address = {Saint Louis, Missouri}, Month = {December}, Year = {2006}) @InProceedings(ow:fpccdp, Author = {Peter Fogh Odgaard and Mladen Victor Wickerhauser}, Title = {Fault Predictive Control of Compact Disk Players}, URL = {http://www.math.wustl.edu/~victor/papers/fpccdp.pdf}, Abstract = {Optical disc players such as CD-players have problems playing certain discs with surface faults like scratches and fingerprints.

Surface faults like scratches and fingerprints disturb the on-line measurement of the pick-up position relative to the track.

A precise detection of the surface fault is a prerequisite to a correct handling of the faults in order to protect the pick-up of the compact disc player from audible track losses. The actual fault handling which is addressed in other publications can be carried out by the use of dedicated filters adapted to remove the faults from the measurements. In this paper detection using wavelet packet filters is demonstrated. The filters are designed using the joint best basis method.

In this study, we compare new and previously published approaches to MC denoising, including 3D wavelet threshold denoising with sub-band adaptive thresholding, content adaptive mean-median-hybrid (CAMH) filtering, locally adaptive Savitzky--Golay curve-fitting (LASG), anisotropic diffusion (AD) and an iterative reduction of noise (IRON) method formulated as an optimization problem. Several challenging phantom and computed-tomography-based MC dose distributions with varying levels of noise formed the test set. Denoising effectiveness was measured in three ways: by improvements in the mean-square-error (MSE) with respect to a reference (low noise) dose distribution; by the maximum difference from the reference distribution and by the `Van Dyk' pass/fail criteria of either adequate agreement with the reference image in low-gradient regions (within 2 percent in our case) or, in high-gradient regions, a distance-to-agreement-within-2-percent of less than 2 mm. Results varied significantly based on the dose test case: greater reductions in MSE were observed for the relatively smoother phantom-based dose distribution (up to a factor of 16 for the LASG algorithm); smaller reductions were seen for an intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) head and neck case (typically, factors of 2.4). Although several algorithms reduced statistical noise for all test geometries, the LASG method had the best MSE reduction for three of the four test geometries, and performed the best for the Van Dyk criteria. However, the wavelet thresholding method performed better for the head and neck IMRT geometry and also decreased the maximum error more effectively than LASG. In almost all cases, the evaluated methods provided acceleration of MC results towards statistically more accurate results.}, Journal = {Physics in Medicine and Biology}, Volume = {50}, Year = {2005}, Pages = {909--922}) @Article(cmwj:fwewb, Author = {Elvir \v{C}au\v{s}evi\'c and Robert E.

One of the most important applications of wavelets is in removal of noise from signals, called denoising, accomplished by thresholding wavelet coefficients in order to separate signal from noise. Substantial work in this area was summarized by Donoho and colleagues at Stanford University, who developed a variety of algorithms for conventional denoising. However, conventional denoising fails for signals with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Electrical signals acquired from the human body, called biosignals, commonly have below 0 dB SNR. Synchronous linear averaging of a large number of acquired data frames is universally used to increase the SNR of weak biosignals. A novel wavelet-based estimator is presented for fast estimation of such signals. The new estimation algorithm provides a faster rate of convergence to the underlying signal than linear averaging. The algorithm is implemented for processing of auditory brainstem response (ABR) and of auditory middle latency evoked potential response (AMLR) signals. Experimental results with both simulated data and human subjects demonstrate that the novel wavelet estimator achieves superior performance to that of linear averaging.}, Journal = {IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering}, Month = {June}, Volume = {52}, Number = {6}, Pages = {19}, Year = {2005})

The problem is that handling normal disturbances such as mechanical shocks requires a high bandwidth of the controllers that keep the Optical Pick-Up focused and radially placed on the information track on the disc.

A simple solution to this problem is to decrease the controller bandwidth during the defect. However, due to the variation of defects a more adaptive control strategy would be preferable. In this paper the defects are categorised into three groups. A discriminator is designed, based on the local most-discriminating basis vectors of the Karhunen-Lo\`eve and Haar bases as well as the mean of defect group vectors. In these bases the discrimination rule is simple. The defect in question is a member of the group it is closest to.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: The lecture will be pitched to engineers with some programming and signal processing experience, but will be understandable to anyone with a basic undergraduate mathematics, science, or engineering preparation. It will focus on the image compression example, but is intended to be useful to anyone seeking deeper understanding of the mathematical principles underlying signal analysis. }, Month = {April 4}, Year = {2002}) @Article(w:jmr, URL = {http://www.math.wustl.edu/~victor/papers/jmr.pdf}, Author = {Mladen Victor Wickerhauser}, Title = {{\bf Wavelets: Tools for Science \& Technology}, by St\'ephane Jaffard, Yves Meyer, and Robert D.

Sampling rates, frequency content, and pixel quantization all influence the compressibility of the original data. Subsequent machine or human analyses of the compressed data, or its presentation at various magnifications, all influence the nature and visibility of distortion and artifacts. Thus, algorithms like JPEG, established for a ``natural'' images intended to be viewed by humans, do not satisfy the requirements for compressing fingerprint images intended to be scanned by machines. In that particular example, it was necessary to develop a new algorithm {\em WSQ}. One procedure focuses on the transform portion of the compression algorithm: the {\em best basis method\/} automatically finds a transform which provides the best average compression of a representative set of images, selected from a set of ``fast'' transforms.

It is assumed that the digital signals of interest are acquired from a camera and structured as digital image sequences. The trajectories in the signal are two-dimensional spatial projections in time of motion taking place in a three-dimensional space. The purpose of this work is to focus on the rotational motion, i.e. estimate the angular velocity. In natural scenes, rotational motion usually composes with translational or accelerated motion on a trajectory. This paper shows that trajectory parameters and rotational motion can be efficiently estimated and tracked either simultaneously or separately. The final goal of this work is to provide selective reconstructions of moving objects of interest. This paper constructs new continuous wavelet transforms that can be tuned to both translational and rotational motion. The parameters of analysis that are taken into account in these rotational wavelet transforms are space and time position, velocity, spatial scale, angular orientation and angular velocity.

Our implementation also works for the wavelet transform numerical algorithms of Beylkin, Coifman and Rokhlin. It is one way to obtain a fast functional calculus for certain classes of linear operators: those operators, which sparsify in the wavelet basis or the ``best basis'' of wavelet packets, can be applied to vectors in a lower order of complexity. The purpose of parallelizing the transform is to distribute the cost of the initial sparsification ``investment'' over a large number of machines. This one-time cost is O(N^2 log N) with a nonnegligible constant; we envision applications in which N=10^6, for example evolutions of 2-dimensional fluid velocity fields on 1000x1000 point grids. In a first part, we study a parallel algorithm (on a MIMD machine) to compute the two-dimensional wavelet packet transform. Then, we apply it to compute the multiplication of a matrix by a vector in parallel. We will compute matrix coefficients for operators with respect to an orthonormal basis of separable wavelet packets, using the 2-dimensional version of the fast wavelet packet transform. The main idea is to lift an NxN matrix, which maps R^N to R^N, into the space of maps from R^{N log N} to R^{N log N}. Any of a large number of NxN-coefficient subsets of this lifting can be used to represent the operator, so we may pick the subset in which the matrix is most sparse. The choice is made with the ``best-basis'' algorithm and is itself a fast algorithm. The number of basissubsets of this type grows like 4^N for an NxN matrix, but computing all of the coefficients with respect to all of the basis functions requires just O(N^2 log N) operations. The algorithm chooses the ``best basis'' in which the operator appears most sparse; it has complexity O(N^2). We have reason to believe that the equations of motion for important physical systems sparsify by nearly an order of magnitude in this collection of bases. We thus obtain lower complexity matrix application and matrix multiplication algorithms from the new representation. Of course the method is not perfectly general: the speedup depends very much upon the problem. However, others have shown that for broad classes of operators we can expect an order of magnitude asymptotic complexity reduction for matrix application.}, BookTitle = {Wavelet Applications in Chemical Engineering}, Editor = {Rodolphe L.

While similar in goals to vector quantization, the new method uses a codebook or library of predefined modulated waveforms with some remarkable orthogonality properties. We can apply the method to two particularly useful libraries of recent vintage, orthogonal wavelet-packets and localized trigonometric functions, for which the time-frequency localization properties of the waveforms are reasonably well controlled. The idea is to build out of the library functions an orthonormal basis relative to which the given signal or collection of signals has the lowest information cost. We may define several useful cost functionals; one of the most attractive is Shannon entropy, which has a geometric interpretation in this context. Practicality is built into the foundation of this orthogonal best-basis methods. All bases from each library of waveforms described below come equipped with fast O(N log N) transformation algorithms, and each library has a natural dyadic tree structure which provides O(N log N) search algorithms for obtaining the best basis. The libraries are rapidly constructible, and never have to be stored either for analysis or synthesis. It is never necessary to construct a waveform from a library in order to compute its correlation with the signal. The waveforms are indexed by three parameters with natural interpretations (position, frequency, and scale), and we have experimented with feature-extraction methods that use best-basis compression for front-end complexity reduction. The method relies heavily on the remarkable orthogonality properties of the new libraries. It is obviously a nonlinear transformation to represent a signal in its own best basis, but since the transformation is orthogonal once the basis is chosen, compression via the best-basis method is not drastically affected by noise: the noise energy in the transform values cannot exceed the noise energy in the original signal. Furthermore, we can use information cost functionals defined for signals with normalized energy, since all expansions in a given library will conserve energy. Since two expansions will have the same energy globally, it is not necessary to normalize expansions to compare their costs. This feature greatly enlarges the class of functionals usable by the method, speeds the best-basis search, and provides a geometric interpretation in certain cases.}, Journal = {IEEE Transactions on Information Theory}, Volume = {32}, Pages = {712--718}, Month = {March}, Year = {1992}) @Article(fgmpw, URL = {http://www.math.wustl.edu/~victor/papers/fgmpw.tar.gz}, Author = {Marie Farge and Eric Goirand and Yves Meyer and Fr{\'e}d{\'e}ric Pascal and Mladen Victor Wickerhauser}, Title = {Improved Predictability of Two-Dimensional Turbulent Flows Using Wavelet Packet Compression}, Abstract = { We propose to use new orthonormal wavelet packet bases, more efficient than the Fourier basis, to compress two-dimensional turbulent flows. We define the ``best basis'' of wavelet packets as the one which, for a given enstrophy density, condenses the $L^2$ norm into a minimum number of non-negligible wavelet packet coefficients. Coefficents below a threshold are discarded, reducing the number of degrees of freedom. We then compare the predictability of the original flow evolution with several such reductions, varying the number of retained coefficients, either from a Fourier basis, or from the best-basis of wavelet packets. We show that for a compression ratio of 1/2, we still have a deterministic predictability using the wavelet packet best-basis, while it is lost when using the Fourier basis. Likewise, for compression ratios of 1/20 and 1/200 we still have statistical predictability using the wavelet packet best-basis, while it is lost when using the Fourier basis. In fact, the significant wavelet packet coefficients in the best-basis appear to correspond to coherent structures. The weak coefficients correspond to vorticity filaments, which are only passively advected by the coherent structures. In conclusion, the wavelet packet best-basis seems to distinguish the low-dimensional dynamically active part of the flow from the high-dimensional passive components.

Because of the file sizes involved, transmitting images will always consume large amounts of bandwidth, and storing images will always require hefty resources. Because of the large number N of pixels in a high resolution image, manipulation of digital images is infeasible without low-complexity algorithms, i.e., O(N) or O(N log(N)). Our goal will be to describe some new methods which are firmly grounded in harmonic analysis and the mathematical theory of function spaces, which promise to combine effective image compression with low-complexity image processing.

These are square-integrable functions with prescribed smoothness and other properties, which we shall develop to establish the main notions. Our construction will be directed toward numerical applications, so we will restrict ourselves to the quadrature mirror filter algorithm. Next we will define several discrete algorithms and explore their advantages and disadvantages. We will show the correspondence between wavelet packets and coefficients computed from sampled signals, and relate the convergence of this approximation to the smoothness of the signal. We will define information cost functions and the ``best-basis'' method. We will count operations and consider practical matters like the memory requirements of the algorithms, periodizing, the spreading of the support of aperiodic wavelet packets, and the combinatorics of constructing wavelet packet bases of increasing generality. In parallel, we will develop smooth orthogonal local trigonometric transforms. These are properly considered transposes of wavelet packet methods, or alternatively conjugates of wavelet packet methods by the Fourier transform. We will describe both continuous and discrete local cosine transforms, and an adaptive local cosine transform useful for signal segmentation. We will examine several compression methods, both linear and nonlinear. Linear methods include uniform and nonuniform quantization. Nonlinear methods include discarding small coefficients, coalescing to the center of energy within bands, and Karhunen--Loeve methods. We will examine the peculiarities of each method, and discuss the errors in the lossy versions of these algorithms. This will illustrate the relative advantages of wavelet packets, windowed Fourier transforms, and wavelet bases. We will then generalize to multidimensions by separation of variables. We will explore the combinatorics of higher dimensional wavelets. We will identify matrices with two-dimensional signals or ``pictures,'' and we will show how each picture compression algorithm yields a nonstandard matrix multiplication algorithm. As a demonstration of the analytic power of best-basis methods, we will perform an automatic analysis of a few canonical signals in the phase plane. The signals will be decomposed into as precise a set of modulated lumps as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle allows, and the product of the analysis will be displayed in an intuitively satisfying manner. Finally, we will produce several fast numerical algorithms driven by the best-basis method. Among these will be fast approximate Karhunen--Loeve factor analysis, signal segmentation in time and frequency, feature-preserving encryption, and matrix multiplication.}, Editor = {Pierre-Louis Lions}, BookTitle = {Probl{\'e}mes Non-Lin{\'e}aires Appliqu{\'e}s, Ondelettes et Paquets D'Ondes}, Note = {Minicourse lecture notes}, Publisher = {INRIA}, Address = {Roquencourt, France}, Month = {17--21 June}, Pages = {31-99}, Year = {1991}) @InProceedings(w:fakle, URL = {http://www.math.wustl.edu/~victor/papers/fakle.pdf}, Author = {Mladen Victor Wickerhauser}, Title = {Fast Approximate Factor Analysis}, Abstract = { The principal orthogonal factor analysis or Karhunen-Loeve algorithm may be sped up by a low-complexity preprocessing step. A fast transform is selected from a large library of wavelet-like orthonormal bases, so as to maximize transform coding gain for an ensemble of vectors.

Since the linearization series used previously is singular, we replace it with an improved series obtained by finite-rank renormalization. This introduces additional scattering data, which are shown to be dependent upon a single function, though not the usual one. We then prove the continuity of the direct and inverse scattering transforms defined by the improved series for small complex potentials. For all such potentials, the eigenvalues of the spectral problem cannot accumulate at 0. Rapidly decaying potentials have regular scattering data, prohibiting rapidly decaying solitons. In the selfadjoint case (real potentials), we obtain explicit cancellation of certain singularities. This leads to an alternate existence proof for the Cauchy problem for the equation. It also proves existence and gives estimates for some previously formal invariant quantities associated to the Benjamin--Ono hierarchy.}, Journal = {Inverse Problems}, Volume = {6}, Pages = {825--861}, Year = {1990}) @TechReport(w:pic, URL = {http://www.math.wustl.edu/~victor/papers/pic.tar.gz}, Author = {Mladen Victor Wickerhauser}, Title = {Picture Compression by Best-Basis Sub-Band Coding}, Abstract = { We introduce a generalization of sub-band coding which may be used to compress digitized pictures or sequences of pictures.
