Abstract

In this chapter, to address dilemma in the stage of data collection, we establish the archetype of observation window (iw, δ diagram), and the intermittent and continuous acquisition can be represented using such a window function. Also, the multiscale analysis and entropy are employed as measurements to evaluate the intermittent acquisition in time domain. Our data showed that the intermittent acquisition and measurement only depends on the history within the moving window, and it can be sampling from ones with minimum moving step, δ min, and the relative entropy was effective to assess the distance between adjacent windows.
