I take the privilege to present the hard copy compilation for the [Volume 4 Issue (2)] of Journal of

Current Trends in Signal Processing(CTSP). The intension of CTSP is to create an atmosphere that

stimulates creativeness, research and growth in the area of Signal Processing.

The development and growth of the mankind is the consequence of brilliant Research done by

eminent Scientists and Engineers in every field. CTSP provides an outlet for Research findings and

reviews in areas of Signal Processing found to be relevant for National and International recent

developments & research initiatives.

The aim and scope of the Journal is to provide an academic medium and an important reference for

the advancement and dissemination of Research results that support high level learning, teaching and

research in the domain of Signal Processing.

Finally, I express my sincere gratitude to the Editorial board members for their continuous support to

bring this issue to its present form. Undoubtedly we could not release this issue without the amazing

efforts of our Editors/Reviewers and Advisory board members.

I hope you will enjoy reading this issue and we welcome your feedback on any aspect of the Journal.

Study of ECG Signal Features Extraction using Wavelet

Transform: A Review

Rishika Kaloniya*, Sharda Vashisth, Pooja Sabherwal

Dept. of Electrical, Electronics and Communication Engineering, ITM University, Gurgaon, India

Abstract QRS-complex detection is used for analysis of ECG signal. ECG gives the information

about electrical activity of the heart Since an ECG is a non-stationary signal and consists of various types of noise such as baseline wander, power line interference and muscle

noise. To eliminate such types of noise wavelet transform is used. Mother wavelet is widely used to extract information from these types of signal by denoising. This paper

gives the survey about the mother wavelet which is useful for denoising the ECG signals.

The different mother wavelets compared and from that the more suitable mother wavelet

is chosen.

Keywords: Heart, ECG, QRS complex, wavelet transform

Classification of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous

Fog for Vision Enhancement

Md. Imtiyaz Anwar*, Arun Khosla

Department of ECE, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, India

Abstract Classification is the prior methodology to design vision enhancement algorithms to make

them more efficient. In this reported work, mean intensity value and range of intensity

level are proposed for the classification of camera images into homogeneous and heterogeneous fog due to turbid weather conditions for the first time. The use of average

intensity and distribution of intensity of synthetic foggy images with different kind of fog

are taken as reference to classify camera images. Proposed method is applicable to synthetic as well as camera foggy images. Simulation analysis shows that images with

homogeneous fog have always higher mean intensity and narrow range of intensity level within a certain limit than heterogeneous fog.

Keywords: Classification, fog, mean intensity, homogeneous, heterogeneous

Wavelets-based Denoising by Optimizing Polynomial

Threshold Function

Rashmi Gupta*, Hemant Tulsani Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies and Research,

New Delhi, India

Abstract In this paper, a wavelets-based technique for denoising of one-dimensional signals is proposed which employs artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for optimizing a new

polynomial threshold function. The coefficients of the threshold function are optimized

dynamically to maximize the output signal to noise ratio (SNR). ABC algorithm calculates the coefficients for maximum output SNR. The proposed technique is tested for three

artificial signals, namely blocks, bumps and Doppler signals. Additive white Gaussian

noise (AWGN) is added to the signals and the results of denoising are presented. The results are compared with hard, soft and non-negative garrote threshold functions for

three methods, VisuShrink, SUREShrink and MinMax, of determining threshold at different levels of decomposition. The performance of the algorithm is compared using

different parameters such as input and output SNR, cross correlation coefficient and

mean square error. The results show that the proposed algorithm provides better denoising results in all respects.

Keywords: Denoising, wavelet thresholding, polynomial threshold function, artificial

bee colony algorithm

Embedded Real Time Operating Systems Performance

Analysis for ARM7 Platform

Vibhute Pritish M.*, Pawar Shitalkumar S. Department of E&TC, SRES COE, University of Pune, Kopargaon, Maharashtra, India

Abstract An embedded RTOS is a software part of an embedded system that is used in the almost

all the real-time application development process. It has a considerable effect on the

reliability, robustness and performance of system under design and test. This paper addresses the concern of parameterized performance characteristics of two different

RTOSs i.e. μC/OS-II and FreeRTOS ported on same common controller platform from

ARM7TDMI family. Different OS services are identified and considered by performance parameters to establish performance metrics. Performance Metrics selected include Pre-

emption time, context switching, interrupt latency and execution time. These parameters are further categorized into behaviour model and timing model for the need of

abstractions. Concepts of parametric timing analysis were extended to consider the

performance of the memory, processor and available peripherals.
