[Adaptive procedures for measuring arterial blood flow velocity in retinal vessels using indicator technique].

There are highly significant differences in the measuring results of arterial blood velocity between the indicator and laser-Doppler techniques (up to 800%). A new measuring procedure for the analysis of indicator dilution curves was developed based on indicator model and experimental results. The use of this new measuring procedure results in reduced mean systematic error between the indicator and laser-Doppler techniques to values around 10%.

Methods of dynamic spectral analysis by self-exciting autoregressive moving average models and their application to analysing biosignals.

Dynamic methods in the spectral domain are necessary to analyse biological signals because of the frequently nonstationary character of the signals. The paper presents an adaptive procedure of fitting time-dependent ARMA models to nonstationary signals, which is suitable for on-line calculations. The properties of the model parameter estimations are examined, and in the stationary case are compared with the results of convergent estimation methods.

A new approach for detecting the position of retinal vessels and calculating their diameter on the basis of dynamic spectral analysis.

Fast adaptive algorithms were used for the detection of retinal vessels and for pre-processing the signals. By using different methods of dynamic spectral analysis, the local frequency of the vessels was determined. On this basis a method of calculating the diameters of the vessels was constructed; it is robust in relation to disturbances in the domain of the edges.

Dynamic description of stochastic signal by adaptive momentary power and momentary frequency estimation and its application in analysis of biological signals.

The importance of dynamic spectral analysis of time-varying signals in medicine, biology and technology is increasing rapidly. The basic spectral parameters are momentary power and momentary frequency. The paper presents adaptive recursive estimation methods for these spectral parameters.
