SEED® /1.0

 

BCE’s proprietary signal enhancement and event detection (SEED®) software allows for real-time signal enhancement, event detection, event dominant frequency estimation and ambient noise characterization. SEED® implements a state-of-the-art Bayesian recursive estimation technique which incorporates Kalman filtering, particle filtering, Rao-Blackwellized particle filtering and hidden Markov model (HMM) filtering.

 

  • State-of-the-art Bayesian Recursive Estimation
  • Real-Time Signal Enhancement
  • Real-Time Event Detection
  • Real-Time Event Frequency Estimation
  • Real-Time Ambient Noise Characterization
