Abstract This work presents a neural network classifier for identifying the flexion and extension movements for four fingers from the hand, out of the surface electromyography signals in the forearm muscles. A new labeled data method was proposed based on time segmentation to relate the sEMG signal with the corresponding finger movement. This is a different way of labeling the data for training the neural network, a llowing to reduce the amount of training gesture hand. The experiment consists of 10 sessions in which the fingers are flexed randomly, one at a time for 2 minutes with a 16ms sample time. The absolute mean value (MAV) is used as a feature extractor in the time domain to a verage 5 samples a nd the normalized data is used for the neural network. Results show that this system with the labeled data method, provides a 98.83% precision value for the index finger, 93.46% for the ring finger, 80.34% for the middle finger, and 68.46% for the little finger. The results are simila r to those found in the literature where they classify different gestures using the conventional labeling method.

This document shows the identification of 7 gestures (movements) of the human hand from sEMG – 360° signals in the forearm. sEMG – 360° is the sEMG measurement through 8 channels every 45° making a total of 360°. When making a hand gesture, there will be 8 independents sEMG signals that will be used to identify the movement. The 7 gestures to identify are: relaxed hand (closed), open hand (fingers extended), flexion and extension of the little finger, the ring finger, the middle finger, the index finger and the thumb separately. 100 samples of each of the gesture were captured and 3 feature extractors were applied in the time domain (mean absolute value (MAV), root mean square value (RMS) and area vale under the curve (CUA)), then a vector support machine (SVM) classifier was applied to each extractor. The movements were identified and the percentage of accuracy in the identification was calculated for each extractor + SVM classifier. The calculation of the percentage of accuracy took into account the 8 channels for each gesture. 97.61 % accuracy was achieved in the identification of human hand gestures by applying sEMG – 360°.

AbstractThe accurate and nondestructive assessment of leaf nitrogen (N) is very important for N management in winter wheat fields. Mobile phones are now being used as an additional N diagnostic tool. To overcome the drawbacks of traditional digital camera diagnostic methods, a histogram-based method was proposed and compared with the traditional methods. Here, the field N level of six different wheat cultivars was assessed to obtain canopy images, leaf N content, and yield. The stability and accuracy of the index histogram and index mean value of the canopy images in different wheat cultivars were compared based on their correlation with leaf N and yield, following which the best diagnosis and prediction model was selected using the neural network model. The results showed that N application significantly affected the leaf N content and yield of wheat, as well as the hue of the canopy images and plant coverage. Compared with the mean value of the canopy image color parameters, the histogram could reflect both the crop coverage and the overall color information. The histogram thus had a high linear correlation with leaf N content and yield and a relatively stable correlation across different growth stages. Peak b of the histogram changed with the increase in leaf N content during the reviving stage of wheat. The histogram of the canopy image color parameters had a good correlation with leaf N content and yield. Through the neural network training and estimation model, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the estimated and measured values of leaf N content and yield were smaller for the index histogram (0.465, 9.65%, and 465.12, 5.5% respectively) than the index mean value of the canopy images (0.526, 12.53% and 593.52, 7.83% respectively), suggesting a good fit for the index histogram image color and robustness in estimating N content and yield. Hence, the use of the histogram model with a smartphone has great potential application in N diagnosis and prediction for wheat and other cereal crops.

Moving objects gathering pattern represents a group events or incidents that involve congregation of moving objects, enabling the analysis of traffic system. However, how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the gathering pattern discovering method still remains as a challenging issue since the large number of moving objects will generate high volume of trajectory data. In order to address this issue, the authors propose a method to discovering the gathering pattern by analyzing the taxicab demand. This paper first introduces the concept of Taxicab Service Rate (TSR). In this method, they use the KS measures to test the distribution of TSR and calculate the mean value of the TSR of a certain time period. Then, the authors use a neural network based method Neural Network Gathering Discovering (NNGD) to detect the gathering pattern. The neural network is based on the knowledge of historical gathering pattern data. The authors have implemented their method with experiments based on real trajectory data. The results show the both effectiveness and efficiency of their method.

In gear or rolling bearing systems, it is difficult to extract symptoms from vibration signals where shock vibration signals are present. However, the neural network method cannot provide satisfactory diagnosis results without adequate training samples. Bayesian networks provide an effective approach for fault diagnosis in cases given uncertain and incomplete information. In this study, the statistical factors of vibration signals in the time-domain were used and the diagnosis results by using Bayesian networks were superior to other neural network methods.

For the large computation workload of the adaptive filter algorithm and the low filtering speed of the adaptive filter model based on wavelet transform, a wavelet-based neural network adaptive filter model is constructed in this paper. As the neural network has the capacity of distributed storage and fast self-evolution, Hopfield neural network is used to implement adaptive filtering algorithm LMS, so as to increase the computing speed. The model applied to sEMG signal denoising can achieve a better filtering effect.

The collective electrophysiological dynamics of the brain as a result of sleep-related biological drives in Drosophila are investigated in this paper. Based on the Huber-Braun thermoreceptor model, the conductance-based neurons model is extended to a coupled neural network to analyze the local field potential (LFP). The LFP is calculated by using two different metrics: the mean value and the distance-dependent LFP. The distribution of neurons around the electrodes is assumed to have a circular or grid distribution on a two-dimensional plane. Regardless of which method is used, qualitatively similar results are obtained that are roughly consistent with the experimental data. During wake, the LFP has an irregular or a regular spike. However, the LFP becomes regular bursting during sleep. To further analyze the results, wavelet analysis and raster plots are used to examine how the LFP frequencies changed. The synchronization of neurons under different network structures is also studied. The results demonstrate that there are obvious oscillations at approximately 8 Hz during sleep that are absent during wake. Different time series of the LFP can be obtained under different network structures and the density of the network will also affect the magnitude of the potential. As the number of coupled neurons increases, the neural network becomes easier to synchronize, but the sleep and wake time described by the LFP spectrogram do not change. Moreover, the parameters that affect the durations of sleep and wake are analyzed.

With the rapid development of unmanned surfaces and underwater vehicles, fault diagnoses for underwater thrusters are important to prevent sudden damage, which can cause huge losses. The propeller causes the most common type of thruster damage. Thus, it is important to monitor the propeller’s health reliably. This study proposes a fault diagnosis method for underwater thruster propellers. A deep convolutional neural network was proposed to monitor propeller conditions. A Hall element and hydrophone were used to obtain the current signal from the thruster and the sound signal in water, respectively. These raw data were fast Fourier transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain and used as the input to the neural network. The output of the neural network indicated the propeller’s health conditions. This study demonstrated the results of a single signal and the fusion of multiple signals in a neural network. The results showed that the multi-signal input had a higher accuracy than the one-signal input. With multi-signal inputs, training two types of signals with a separated neural network and then merging them at the end yielded the best results (99.88%), as compared to training two types of signals with a single neural network.
