Survey samplingIn statistics, survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample of elements from a target population to conduct a survey. The term "survey" may refer to many different types or techniques of observation. In survey sampling it most often involves a questionnaire used to measure the characteristics and/or attitudes of people. Different ways of contacting members of a sample once they have been selected is the subject of survey data collection.
Tomographic reconstructionTomographic reconstruction is a type of multidimensional inverse problem where the challenge is to yield an estimate of a specific system from a finite number of projections. The mathematical basis for tomographic imaging was laid down by Johann Radon. A notable example of applications is the reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) where cross-sectional images of patients are obtained in non-invasive manner.
Traitement du sonLe traitement du son est la branche du traitement du signal qui s'applique aux signaux audio, dans le but notamment d'en améliorer la qualité, de les compresser, ou d'en extraire de l'information. Le terme analogique désigne quelque chose qui est mathématiquement représenté par une fonction continue. Donc un signal analogique est un signal représenté par un flux continu de donnée, ici dans un circuit électrique sous la forme de tension ou de courant.
Anti-aliasing filterAn anti-aliasing filter (AAF) is a filter used before a signal sampler to restrict the bandwidth of a signal to satisfy the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem over the band of interest. Since the theorem states that unambiguous reconstruction of the signal from its samples is possible when the power of frequencies above the Nyquist frequency is zero, a brick wall filter is an idealized but impractical AAF. A practical AAF makes a trade off between reduced bandwidth and increased aliasing.
Nonprobability samplingSampling is the use of a subset of the population to represent the whole population or to inform about (social) processes that are meaningful beyond the particular cases, individuals or sites studied. Probability sampling, or random sampling, is a sampling technique in which the probability of getting any particular sample may be calculated. In cases where external validity is not of critical importance to the study's goals or purpose, researchers might prefer to use nonprobability sampling.
Théorème d'échantillonnageLe théorème d'échantillonnage, dit aussi théorème de Shannon ou théorème de Nyquist-Shannon, établit les conditions qui permettent l'échantillonnage d'un signal de largeur spectrale et d'amplitude limitées. La connaissance de plus de caractéristiques du signal permet sa description par un nombre inférieur d'échantillons, par un processus d'acquisition comprimée. Dans le cas général, le théorème d'échantillonnage énonce que l’échantillonnage d'un signal exige un nombre d'échantillons par unité de temps supérieur au double de l'écart entre les fréquences minimale et maximale qu'il contient.
Reconstruction filterIn a mixed-signal system (analog and digital), a reconstruction filter, sometimes called an anti-imaging filter, is used to construct a smooth analog signal from a digital input, as in the case of a digital to analog converter (DAC) or other sampled data output device. The sampling theorem describes why the input of an ADC requires a low-pass analog electronic filter, called the anti-aliasing filter: the sampled input signal must be bandlimited to prevent aliasing (here meaning waves of higher frequency being recorded as a lower frequency).
Analogiquevignette|Un peson est un instrument de mesure analogique : une longueur est proportionnelle à une force. Le terme analogique indique qu'une chose est suffisamment semblable à une autre, d'un certain point de vue, pour que leur analogie permette de dire de l'une ou de faire avec l'une ce qui s'applique aussi à l'autre. Un appareil, particulièrement un instrument de mesure ou de communication qui représente une grandeur physique par une autre est analogique, comme aussi une méthode de calcul graphique par abaque ou règle à calcul.
Traitement de la paroleLe traitement de la parole est une discipline technologique dont l'objectif est la captation, la transmission, l'identification et la synthèse de la parole. Dans ce domaine, on peut définir la parole comme un texte oral. On s'intéresse à l'intelligibilité, c'est-à-dire à la possibilité, pour la personne qui écoute, de comprendre sans erreur le texte émis ; à l'amélioration de l'intelligibilité quand le signal est dégradé ; à l'identification de la personne qui parle ; à l'établissement automatique d'un texte écrit à partir de la parole ; à la synthèse de la parole à partir d'un texte écrit.
Digital signal (signal processing)In the context of digital signal processing (DSP), a digital signal is a discrete time, quantized amplitude signal. In other words, it is a sampled signal consisting of samples that take on values from a discrete set (a countable set that can be mapped one-to-one to a subset of integers). If that discrete set is finite, the discrete values can be represented with digital words of a finite width. Most commonly, these discrete values are represented as fixed-point words (either proportional to the waveform values or companded) or floating-point words.
Iterative reconstructionIterative reconstruction refers to iterative algorithms used to reconstruct 2D and 3D images in certain imaging techniques. For example, in computed tomography an image must be reconstructed from projections of an object. Here, iterative reconstruction techniques are usually a better, but computationally more expensive alternative to the common filtered back projection (FBP) method, which directly calculates the image in a single reconstruction step.
Time–frequency representationA time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.
