(*) Summary: We
show that by using a modification of our previously developed
probabilistic method to find the most unusual part of a 3D digital
image, we can find the temporal intervals and areas of interest of 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 its implementation to the Intensive
Care hospital Units (ICU), where EEG video recording is an usual
practice and where the manifestation of the potentially mortal crisis
can be detected only in some of the observed signals.
