      The paper introduces both a new internal FM antenna for mobile phones based on the fractal Hilbert curve, and a new evaluation criterion for quantifying the quality of the signal received by the FM antenna of mobile phones. ...
    • Human face segmentation and tracking using connected components and partition projection 

      Marqués Acosta, Fernando; Vilaplana Besler, Verónica; Buxes, A (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1999)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      A new technique for segmenting and tracking human faces in video sequences is presented. The algorithm uses a connected operator to extract the connected component that more likely belongs to a face. Such a connected ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This work concentrates on the problem of watermarking embedding and optimum detection in color images through the use of spread spectrum techniques both in space (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum or DSSS) and frequency ...
    • The effect of walking on the estimation of breathing pattern parameters using wearable bioimpedance 

      Blanco Almazán, María Dolores; Groenendaal, Willemijn; Catthoor, Francky; Jané Campos, Raimon (2022)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Wearable bioimpedance is a technique proposed to estimate breathing parameters such as respiratory rate (RR). However, its potential application lies in clinical investigation of daily-life activities like walking. This ...
