Nowadays, biometric modalities have gained popularity in security systems. Nevertheless, the conventional commercial-grade biometric system addresses some issues. The biggest problem is that they can be imposed by artificial biometrics. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a possible solution. It is nearly impossible to replicate because it is dependent on human mental activity. Several studies have already demonstrated a high level of accuracy. However, it requires a large number of sensors and time to collect the signal. This study proposed a biometric system using single-channel EEG recorded during resting eyes open (EO) conditions. A total of 45 EEG signals from 9 subjects were collected. The EEG signal was segmented into 5 second lengths. The alpha band was used in this study. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with Daubechies type 4 (db4) was employed to extract the alpha band. Power spectral density (PSD) was extracted from each segment as the main feature. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machine (SVM) were used to classify the EEG signal. The proposed method achieved 86% accuracy using LDA only from the third segment. Therefore, this study showed that it is possible to utilize single-channel EEG during a resting EO state in a biometric system.

Analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is essential because it is an efficient method to diagnose neurological brain disorders. In this work, a single system is developed to diagnose one or two neurological diseases at the same time (two-class mode and three-class mode). For this purpose, different EEG feature-extraction and classification techniques are investigated to aid in the accurate diagnosis of neurological brain disorders: epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two different modes, single-channel and multi-channel, of EEG signals are analyzed for epilepsy and ASD. The independent components analysis (ICA) technique is used to remove the artifacts from EEG dataset. Then, the EEG dataset is segmented and filtered to remove noise and interference using an elliptic band-pass filter. Next, the EEG signal features are extracted from the filtered signal using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose the filtered signal to its sub-bands delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. Subsequently, five statistical methods are used to extract features from the EEG sub-bands: the logarithmic band power (LBP), standard deviation, variance, kurtosis, and Shannon entropy (SE). Further, the features are fed into four different classifiers, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and artificial neural networks (ANNs), to classify the features corresponding to their classes. The combination of DWT with SE and LBP produces the highest accuracy among all the classifiers. The overall classification accuracy approaches 99.9% using SVM and 97% using ANN for the three-class single-channel and multi-channel modes, respectively.

<p class="p1">EEG signal is one of the most complex signals having the lowest amplitude which makes it challenging for analysis in real-time. The different waveforms like alpha, beta, theta and delta were studied and selected features were related with the consciousness levels. The consciousness levels detection is useful for estimating the subjects’ performance in certain selected tasks which requires high alertness. This estimation was performed by analyzing signal properties of the EEG using features extracted through discrete wavelet transform with a moving window of 10 seconds with 90% overlap. The EEG signal is decomposed in to wavelets and the average energy and power of the coefficients related to the EEG bands is taken as the features. The data is collected from standard EEG machine from the volunteers as per the protocol. C3 and C4 locations (unipolar) of the standard 10-20 electrode system were selected. The central region of the brain is most optimal location for the consciousness levels detection. The estimation of the data using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) energy, power features provided better accuracy when the central regions were chosen. An accuracy of 99% was achieved when the algorithm was implemented using a classifier based on linear kernel support vector machines (SVM).</p>

Classification of brain signal features is a crucial process for any brain–computer interface (BCI) device, including speller systems. The positive P300 component of visual event-related potentials (ERPs) used in BCI spellers has individual variations of amplitude and latency that further changse with brain abnormalities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This leads to the necessity for the users to train the speller themselves, which is a very time-consuming procedure. To achieve subject-independence in a P300 speller, ensemble classifiers are proposed based on classical machine learning models, such as the support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), and the convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed voters were trained on healthy subjects’ data using a generic training approach. Different combinations of electroencephalography (EEG) channels were used for the experiments presented, resulting in single-channel, four-channel, and eight-channel classification. ALS patients’ data represented robust results, achieving more than 90% accuracy when using an ensemble of LDA, kNN, and SVM on four active EEG channels data in the occipital area of the brain. The results provided by the proposed ensemble voting models were on average about 5% more accurate than the results provided by the standalone classifiers. The proposed ensemble models could also outperform boosting algorithms in terms of computational complexity or accuracy. The proposed methodology shows the ability to be subject-independent, which means that the system trained on healthy subjects can be efficiently used for ALS patients. Applying this methodology for online speller systems removes the necessity to retrain the P300 speller.

Accurate classification of EEG left and right hand motor imagery is an important issue in brain-computer interface. Firstly, discrete wavelet transform method was used to decompose the average power of C3 electrode and C4 electrode in left-right hands imagery movement during some periods of time. The reconstructed signal of approximation coefficient A6 on the sixth level was selected to build up a feature signal. Secondly, the performances by Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis with two different threshold calculation ways and Support Vector Machine methods were compared. The final classification results showed that false classification rate by Support Vector Machine was lower and gained an ideal classification results.

Speech parameters may include perturbation measurements, spectral and cepstral modeling, and pathological effects of some diseases, like influenza, that affect the vocal tract. The verification task is a very good process to discriminate between different types of voice disorder. This study investigated the modeling of influenza’s pathological effects on the speech signals of the Arabic vowels “A” and “O.” For feature extraction, linear prediction coding (LPC) of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) subsignals denoted by LPCW was used. k-Nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were used for classification. To study the pathological effects of influenza on the vowel “A” and vowel “O,” power spectral density (PSD) and spectrogram were illustrated, where the PSD of “A” and “O” was repressed as a result of the pathological effects. The obtained results showed that the verification parameters achieved for the vowel “A” were better than those for vowel “O” for both KNN and SVM for an average. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used for interpretation. The modeling by the speech utterances as words was also investigated. We can claim that the speech utterances as words could model the influenza disease with a good quality of the verification parameters with slightly less performance than the vowels “A” as speech utterances. A comparison with state-of-the-art method was made. The best results were achieved by the LPCW method.

We address with this paper some real-life healthy and epileptic EEG signals classification. Our proposed method is based on the use of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). For each EEG signal, five wavelet decomposition level is applied which allow obtaining five spectral sub-bands correspond to five rhythms (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and gamma). After the extraction of some features on each sub-band (energy, standard deviation, and entropy) a moving average (MA) is applied to the resulting features vectors and then used as inputs to SVM to train and test. We test the method on EEG signals during two datasets: normal and epileptics, without and with using MA to compare results. Three parameters are evaluated such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to test the performances of the used methods.

Even if it is now simple and cheap to collect sensors information in a smart home environment, the main issue remains to infer high-level activities from these simple readings. The main contribution of this work is twofold. Firstly, the authors demonstrate the efficiency of a new procedure for learning Optimized Cost-Sensitive Support Vector Machines (OCS-SVM) classifier based on the user inputs to appropriately tackle the problem of class imbalanced data. It uses a new criterion for the selection of the cost parameter attached to the training errors. Secondly, this method is assessed and compared with the Conditional Random Fields (CRF), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN) and the traditional SVM. Several and various experimental results obtained on multiple real world human activity datasets using binary and ubiquitous sensors show that OCS-SVM outperforms the previous state-of-the-art classification approach.

One of the most critical devices in an electrical system is the transformer. It is continuously under different electrical and mechanical stresses that can produce failures in its components and other electrical network devices. The short-circuited turns (SCTs) are a common winding failure. This type of fault has been widely studied in literature employing the vibration signals produced in the transformer. Although promising results have been obtained, it is not a trivial task if different severity levels and a common high-level noise are considered. This paper presents a methodology based on statistical time features (STFs) and support vector machines (SVM) to diagnose a transformer under several SCTs conditions. As STFs, 19 indicators from the transformer vibration signals are computed; then, the most discriminant features are selected using the Fisher score analysis, and the linear discriminant analysis is used for dimension reduction. Finally, a support vector machine classifier is employed to carry out the diagnosis in an automatic way. Once the methodology has been developed, it is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to provide a system-on-a-chip solution. A modified transformer capable of emulating different SCTs severities is employed to validate and test the methodology and its FPGA implementation. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal for diagnosing the transformer condition as an accuracy of 96.82% is obtained.


Automatic classification of magnetic resonance (MR) brain images using machine learning algorithms has a significant role in clinical diagnosis of brain tumour. The higher order spectra cumulant features are powerful and competent tool for automatic classification. The study proposed an effective cumulant-based features to predict the severity of brain tumour. The study at first stage implicates the one-level classification of 2-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) of taken brain MR image. The cumulants of every sub-bands are then determined to calculate the primary feature vector. Linear discriminant analysis is adopted to extract the discriminative features derived from the primary ones. A three layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) and least square based support vector machine (LS-SVM) algorithms are considered to compute that the brain MR image is either belongs to normal or to one of seven other diseases (eight-class scenario). Furthermore, in one more classification problem, the input MR image is categorized as normal or abnormal (two-class scenario). The correct classification rate (CCR) of LS-SVM is superior than the ANN algorithm thereby the proposed study with LS-SVM attains higher accuracy rate in both classification scenarios of MR images.
