Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for upsampling images and design of upsampling filters. Some aspects relate to a determination of a phase offset position in a higher resolution picture relative to a lower resolution picture. Interpolation filter coefficients for some filters may then be selected based on the filter offset. Other aspects relate to selection of coefficients for filters that are not dependent on the phase offset. In certain implementations, a weighting factor may be used to combine the effects of a phase-offset-dependent filter and an independent filter.

Abstract: Physiological signal quality classification methods and systems designed to improve ambulatory monitoring. Physiological signals are classified as good, noisy or weak based on signal properties. Once classified, signals are processed differently depending on their classification in order to encourage reliance on reliable physiological data, discourage reliance on unreliable physiological data and induce action to improve signal quality. For example, for a good signal, physiological data may be extracted from the signal and displayed to a person being monitored. For a noisy signal, a noisy signal notification may be displayed to the person in lieu of extracted physiological data. For a weak signal, a weak signal notification may be displayed to the person in lieu of extracted physiological data.
