Accuracy is a key index of human gait recognition. In this paper, we propose an improved gait recognition algorithm, which combines multiple feature combination and artificial bee colony for optimizing the support vector machine (ABC-SVM). Firstly, considering the complexity characteristics of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, four types of features are extracted from the denoised sEMG signals, including the time-domain features of integral of absolute value (IAV), variance (VAR), and number of zero-crossing (ZC) points, frequency-domain features of mean power frequency (MPF) and median frequency (MF), and wavelet features and fuzzy entropy features. Secondly, the classifiers of SVM, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and extreme learning machine (ELM) are employed to recognize the gait with obtained features, including singe-class features, multiple combination features, and optimized features of dimension reduction by principal component analysis (PCA). Thirdly, the penalty coefficient and kernel function parameter of the SVM classifier are optimized by the ABC algorithm, and the influence of different features and classifiers on the recognition results is studied. Finally, the feature samples selected to construct the SVM classifier are trained and recognized. Results show that the classification performance of the ABC-SVM classifier is significantly better than that of the nonoptimized SVM classifier, and the average recognition rate is increased by 3.18%. In addition, the combined feature samples (time-domain, frequency-domain, wavelet, and fuzzy entropy features) not only improve the gait classification accuracy but also enhance the recognition stability.

This paper explored a new part based gait recognition method to address the gait covariate factors. Firstly, three robust parts such as vertical-half, head, and lower leg are cropped from the Gait Energy Image (GEI). Since, these selected parts are not affected by the major gait covariates than other parts. Then, Radon transform is applied to each selected part. Next, standard deviations are computed for the specified radial lines (i.e. angles) such as 0 0 , 300 , 600 , 900 , 1200 and 1500 , since these radial lines cover the horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Lastly, fuse the features of three parts at feature level. Finally, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for the classification procedure. The considerable amount of experimental trails are conducted on standard gait datasets and also, the correct classification rates (CCR) have shown that our proposed part based representation is robust in the presence of gait covariates.

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°.

Gait refers to person identification based on the observation of human walking style. One of the prominent hurdles in gait recognition is, the challenges posed by change in apparels like clothes and object held by the subject. The paper explores the feature extraction techniques like CHOG and Elliptical Fourier Descriptors in spatial and frequency domain respectively to mitigate this negative impact on gait recognition. The CHOG behavioural feature extraction technique is used to capture the effective distribution of local gradient on gait sequence images. Further the Elliptical Fourier Descriptor (EFD) is found in frequency domain to access the geometric characteristics of a spatial domain image. The work is carried out on 36 subjects with 5 different apparels and 3 different objects each with 6 gait cycles from standard dataset CASIA SET – B and CMU - MoBo. SVM classifier is used to effectively discriminate the gait cycle patterns using optimal hyper plane. The results obtained have given an improvement of 7% to 24% increase in gait recognition over earlier techniques like GEI, CDA, LDA, ENTROPY, static and dynamic region splitting.

Тhe advantage of combine processing of frequency domain and time domain data provided by the EQUATOR system is discussed. The heliborne complex has a towed transmitter, and, raised above it on the same cable a towed receiver. The excitation signal contains both pulsed and harmonic components. In fact, there are two independent transmitters operate in the system: one of them is a normal pulsed domain transmitter, with a half-sinusoidal pulse and a small "cut" on the falling edge, and the other one is a classical frequency domain transmitter at several specially selected frequencies. The received signal is first processed to a direct Fourier transform with high Q-factor detection at all significant frequencies. After that, in the spectral region, operations of converting the spectra of two sounding signals to a single spectrum of an ideal transmitter are performed. Than we do an inverse Fourier transform and return to the time domain. The detection of spectral components is done at a frequency band of several Hz, the receiver has the ability to perfectly suppress all sorts of extra-band noise. The detection bandwidth is several dozen times less the frequency interval between the harmonics, it turns out thatto achieve the same measurement quality of ground response without using out-of-band suppression you need several dozen times higher moment of airborne transmitting system. The data obtained from the model of a homogeneous half-space, a two-layered model, and a model of a horizontally layered medium is considered. A time-domain data makes it easier to detect a conductor in a relative insulator at greater depths. The data in the frequency domain gives more detailed information about subsurface. These conclusions are illustrated by the example of processing the survey data of the Republic of Rwanda in 2017. The simultaneous inversion of data in frequency domain and time domain can significantly improve the quality of interpretation.
