Huntsville Alabama LabVIEW User Group (HALUG): Using MATLAB for Signal Analysis and Feature Extraction

HALUG June 2026: Using MATLAB for Signal Analysis and Feature Extraction

Our next Huntsville Alabama LabVIEW User Group (HALUG) meeting is scheduled for 12:00 - 1:00 Wednesday, June 17, in the GigaParts classroom, 6123 University Dr, Huntsville, AL 35806.Dr. Kevin Holly of MathWorks will showcase using MATLAB for signal analysis and feature extraction. In this session, we'll dive into key capabilities in MATLAB for the pre-processing, analysis, and feature extraction of time-series signals. We'll highlight several recent additions to MATLAB and its suite of signal processing tools that allow efficient signal analysis and feature extraction.Topics will include:

• Efficiently analyzing signals in the time and frequency domain via the Signal Analyzer and Wavelet Analyzer apps. Generating reusable functions for importing, visualizing, and pre-processing signal data.
• Time-Frequency Analysis and Transformations - Which ones to use and why?
• Extracting features for Machine Learning and Deep Learning based workflows. Understanding which features to use and how to quickly, easily and efficiently extract them.
• This session will be useful for any engineer that works with discrete time-series signal data.

Dr. Holly graduated from Louisiana Tech University with his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering with a research focus primarily in neuroscience that has involved image analysis and signal processing. He serves as a Senior Application Engineer at MathWorks, located in Huntsville, Alabama. He has over 10 years of experience coding in MATLAB.Come and connect with the LabVIEW community and learn how MATLAB can be used with LabVIEW for signal analysis and feature extraction. Lunch will be provided by NI.
