The internal smoothing approach for Chebyshev interpolation is used in this paper. Due to the properties of the Chebyshev interpolation the proposed technique is only applicable to a very short-term prediction of a given time series. One step ahead prediction is performed in this paper. The results are compared to a number of other time series pred...

We introduce a short-term time series prediction model by means of evolutionary algorithms and Bernstein polynomials. This adapts Bernstein-type algebraic skeletons to extrapolate and predict short time series. A mixed smoothing strategy is used to achieve the necessary balance between the roughness of the algebraic prediction and the smoothness of...

Firstly, the straightforward Bernstein polynomial extrapolation scheme is improved by extending the interval of approximation. Secondly, the forecasting scheme is designed in the evolutionary computational setup which is based on the conciliation betwe...

ToF estimation errors for two reflections have been analyzed. Case of high signal-to-noise ratio was assumed, when accuracy of the order of few nanoseconds can be achieved. It was indicated that additional bias errors are introduced in ToF estimator when other reflection is in close temporal proximity to the reflection of interest. Research demonst...

Optimal selection of time delay for time series reconstruction is an important problem in time series analysis and forecasting. When reconstructing the time series into phase space with non-uniform time delay, a time delay selection becomes a difficult optimization problem. To solve this problem, this paper presents two optimization algorithms: cuc...

An algebraic segmentation method based on algebraic predictor with internal smoothing is proposed. The concept of the rank of the sequence is proposed for the detection of a base fragment of the sequence. Numerical experiments with a real-world financial time series illustrate the segmentation method.

Resolution of ultrasonic imaging demands wideband signals for excitation. If bandwidth improvement is done by reduction of the pulse duration signal to noise ratio is reduced. Spread spectrum signals allow increasing the signal energy and maintaining the resolution. Since signal frequency components are spread in time resolution is not reduced: suc...

Investigation of the errors of Time of Flight (ToF) estimate of ultrasonic signals in case of multiple reflections environment is presented. Multiple signals environment induces neighboring signal energy leak into analyzed signal. This in turn introduces some errors in ToF estimate. Narrow signals like single pulse, should posses lower influence th...

Ultrasonic imaging requires both the accuracy and the resolution. Conventional imaging systems use the pulse signals to accomplish the task. But the energy attainable with such signals is limited. Spread spectrum, compressible signals allow to achieve the wide bandwidth even using long durations. Conventional signals do not offer full flexibility o...

The imaging device (the camera) provides measurements of a transformation of this information in the process of time averaging while the body pe...
