¿Se imaginan a Depeche Mode y Arctic Monkeys en el festival REC? 🤯
Ahí si no bajamos nunca mšs a los de Conce 🤭.

Starting to look at some performance improvements for various scopehal filters as I begin the push for v0.2.
The benchmark dataset is P/N legs of 100baseTX Ethernet sampled at 500 Msps with a ThunderScope.
At 50M point memory depth, each waveform is 100 MB in size (2 channels * 8 bits * 500 Msps) and covers 100ms of real time.
The filter graph currently takes just shy of a second to run, meaning we're at 10% of real time. I want to improve on this.

This morning I have promoted a story, Wisdom, from my 'ideas' folder to my 'projects' folder.
"If I were to go, and were to give them sound advice, they would surely kill me. As they killed my great grandmother, and my grandmother, and my aunt, and now my mother."
A young woman is hereditary Wisdom Keeper of a warrior tribe; she's been sent away as a child, by her mother, for safety. Now, the God sends her back.
But is it wise?

Closed-Form Least-Squares Design of Fast-Convolution Based Variable-Bandwidth FIR Filters
This paper introduces a closed-form least-squares (LS) design approach for fast-convolution (FC) based variable-bandwidth (VBW) finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters. The proposed LS design utilizes frequency sampling and the VBW filter frequency-domain implementation using the overlap-save (OLS) method, that together offer significant savings in implementation and online bandwidth reconfiguration complexities. Since combining frequency-domain design and OLS implementation leads to a linear per…

The weather is not promising for fieldwork today, windy and snowy and cloudy, so it's time to sit indoors and listen to some Sibelius while I start to formulate some papers on our research findings so far...

Comparative study of Wavelet transform and Fourier domain filtering for medical image denoising
Denoising of images is a crucial preprocessing step in medical imaging, essential for improving diagnostic clarity. While deep learning methods offer state-of-the-art performance, their computational complexity and data requirements can be prohibitive. In this study we present a comprehensive comparative analysis of two classical, computationally efficient transform-domain techniques: Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Fourier Cosine Transform (DFCT) filtering. We evaluated their eff…
