Abstract

In this paper we show that by using a modification of our previously developed probabilistic method for finding the most unusual part of a 3D digital image, we can detect the temporal intervals and areas of interest in the signals/video and mark the corresponding objects that behave in an unusual way. Due to the different dynamics along the temporal and the spatial axes, namely the prevalence of the cylinder-like objects in the video and the pseudo-periodic slowly changing spectral characteristics of the bio-electrical signals, an additional step is needed to treat the temporal axis. One of the possible practical applications of the method can be in Intensive Care hospital Units (ICU), where EEG video recording is a standard practice to ensure that a potentially life-threatening event can be detected even if its indications are present only in a fraction of the observed signals.
