Formulation of hybrid 3D image segmentation algorithm based partial differential equation by Aboaba, Abdulfattah A., Hameed, Shihab A., Khalifa, Othman Omran, Hassan Abdalla Hashim, Aisha, Chowdhury, Md. Sazzad Hossien

“…One of the best segmentation methods that can perform 3D segmentation is the level-set method which has its mathematical foundation in partial differential equation (PDE). Owing to its complex nature, it exhibits a level of unacceptable sluggishness on implementation hence a need to hasten up the process by hybridizing it with a faster region-based segmentation method which is inherently a logical approach to segmentation pivoted on thresholding but not as good in segmentation as the former. …”

Wavelet cesptral coefficients for isolated speech recognition by Adam, Tarmizi, Salam, Md Sah, Gunawan, Teddy Surya

“…In traditional cepstral analysis, the cepstrums are calculated with the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). Owing to the fact that the DFT calculation assumes signal stationary between frames which in practice is not quite true, the WCC replaces the DFT block in the traditional cepstrum calculation with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) hence producing the WCC. …”
