Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing (2014)
Thesis
Sarfraz, M. Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) reflects the activities and the attributes of the human heart and
reveals very important hidden information in its structure. The information is extracted by
means of ECG signal analysis to gain... Read More about Role of independent component analysis in intelligent ECG signal processing.

Perception and automatic detection of wind-induced microphone noise (2014)
Journal Article
Jackson, I., Kendrick, P., Cox, T., Fazenda, B., & Li, F. (2014). Perception and automatic detection of wind-induced microphone noise. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 136(3), 1176-1186. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4892772

Wind can induce noise on microphones, causing problems for users of hearing aids and for those making recordings outdoors. Perceptual tests in the laboratory and via the Internet were carried out to understand what features of wind noise are importan...

Automatic detection of microphone handling noise (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Kendrick, P., Cox, T., Li, F., Fazenda, B., & Jackson, I. (2014, May). Automatic detection of microphone handling noise. Presented at 4th International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing, Copenhagen, Denmark

Microphone handling noise is a common problem with user generated content. It can occur when the operator
inadvertently knocks or brushes a recording device.
Handling noise may be impulsive, where a microphone is
knocked, or a more sustained rubbi... Read More about Automatic detection of microphone handling noise.

Audio information mining pragmatic review, outlook and a universal open architecture (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Duncan, P., Mohammed, D., & Li, F. (2014, April). Audio information mining pragmatic review, outlook and a universal open architecture. Presented at Audio Engineering Society 136th Convention, Berlin

There is an immense amount of audio data available currently whose content is unspecified and the problem of classification and generation of metadata poses a significant and challenging research problem. We present a review of past and current work... Read More about Audio information mining pragmatic review, outlook and a universal open architecture.

Soft-computing audio classification as a pre-processor for automated content descriptor generation (2014)
Journal Article

Soundtracks of multimedia files are information
rich sources, from which much content-related information and
metadata can be extracted. There exist many individual
algorithms for the recognition and analysis of speech, music or
event sounds, all... Read More about Soft-computing audio classification as a pre-processor for automated content descriptor generation.

Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram (2013)
Journal Article
Sarfraz, M., & Li, F. (2013). Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram. Global perspectives on artificial intelligence (Online), 1(4), 49-55

A method of using Independent Component Analysis to remove motion induced artifacts in the signals picked up by ECG electrodes is developed in this paper. In a first aid setting, ECG electrodes on patients cannot always keep stationary, resulting in... Read More about Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram.
