Biometric identification systems have recently made exponential advancements in term of complexity and accuracy in recognition for security purposes and a variety of other application. In this paper, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based gait recognition system using Microsoft Kinect skeletal joint data points is proposed for human identification. A total of 23 subjects were used for the experiments. The subjects were positioned 45 degrees (oblique view) from Kinect. A CNN based on the modified AlexNet structure was used to fit the different input data size. The results indicate that the training and testing accuracies were 100% and 69.6% respectively.

The analysis of electrocardiogram signal morphology based on convolutional neural network is considered. Input data is obtained by splitting the signal into cardiac cycles. The calculation the average cycle is performed to exclude the artefacts. The Haar wavelet transform of the average cycle is performed. The images of size 200x6 are input data for the recognition system: 200 – number of counts constituting the cycle; 6 – number of Haar transform time scales. This work is a reconsideration of the previous work of the authors. The training samples base of marked cardiac cycle segments is the same (1500 cycles): the average cycle and the segment’s start and end indexes. In the previous work, the original composite system consisting of several modules was used as a recognition system. In current work it is proposed to use the convolutional neural network with the special structure: 4 convolutional layers, 2 dense layers, and 200 outputs for every of 3 segment. The recognition system based on neural network showed results slightly superior to the previous system. The percent of acceptable localization of the segments is the following: P – 82.2%, QRS – 88.7%, and T – 85.4%. The proposed system effectively solves the problem using the standard modules of modern artificial neural networks.

AbstractA human activity recognition (HAR) system acts as the backbone of many human-centric applications, such as active assisted living and in-home monitoring for elderly and physically impaired people. Although existing Wi-Fi-based human activity recognition methods report good results, their performance is affected by the changes in the ambient environment. In this work, we present Wi-Sense—a human activity recognition system that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to recognize human activities based on the environment-independent fingerprints extracted from the Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI). First, Wi-Sense captures the CSI by using a standard Wi-Fi network interface card. Wi-Sense applies the CSI ratio method to reduce the noise and the impact of the phase offset. In addition, it applies the principal component analysis to remove redundant information. This step not only reduces the data dimension but also removes the environmental impact. Thereafter, we compute the processed data spectrogram which reveals environment-independent time-variant micro-Doppler fingerprints of the performed activity. We use these spectrogram images to train a CNN. We evaluate our approach by using a human activity data set collected from nine volunteers in an indoor environment. Our results show that Wi-Sense can recognize these activities with an overall accuracy of 97.78%. To stress on the applicability of the proposed Wi-Sense system, we provide an overview of the standards involved in the health information systems and systematically describe how Wi-Sense HAR system can be integrated into the eHealth infrastructure.

In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG)-based human–computer interaction has been developed to improve the quality of life for people. Gesture recognition based on the instantaneous values of sEMG has the advantages of accurate prediction and low latency. However, the low generalization ability of the hand gesture recognition method limits its application to new subjects and new hand gestures, and brings a heavy training burden. For this reason, based on a convolutional neural network, a transfer learning (TL) strategy for instantaneous gesture recognition is proposed to improve the generalization performance of the target network. CapgMyo and NinaPro DB1 are used to evaluate the validity of our proposed strategy. Compared with the non-transfer learning (non-TL) strategy, our proposed strategy improves the average accuracy of new subject and new gesture recognition by 18.7% and 8.74%, respectively, when up to three repeated gestures are employed. The TL strategy reduces the training time by a factor of three. Experiments verify the transferability of spatial features and the validity of the proposed strategy in improving the recognition accuracy of new subjects and new gestures, and reducing the training burden. The proposed TL strategy provides an effective way of improving the generalization ability of the gesture recognition system.

Currently, biometric methods of personality are becoming more and more relevant recognition technology. The advantage of biometric identification systems, in comparison with traditional approaches, lies in the fact that not an external object belonging to a person is identified, but the person himself. The most widespread technology of personal identification by fingerprints, which is based on the uniqueness for each person of the pattern of papillary patterns. In recent years, many algorithms and models have appeared to improve the accuracy of the recognition system. The modern algorithms (methods) for the classification of fingerprints are analyzed. Algorithms for the classification of fingerprint images by the types of fingerprints based on the Gabor filter, wavelet - Haar, Daubechies transforms and multilayer neural network are proposed. Numerical and results of the proposed experiments of algorithms are carried out. It is shown that the use of an algorithm based on the combined application of the Gabor filter, a five-level wavelet-Daubechies transform and a multilayer neural network makes it possible to effectively classify fingerprints.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a fully automated human identification method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a large-scale dental panoramic radiograph (DPR) dataset. Methods: In total, 2,760 DPRs from 746 subjects who had 2 to 17 DPRs with various changes in image characteristics due to various dental treatments (tooth extraction, oral surgery, prosthetics, orthodontics, or tooth development) were collected. The test dataset included the latest DPR of each subject (746 images) and the other DPRs (2,014 images) were used for model training. A modified VGG16 model with two fully connected layers was applied for human identification. The proposed model was evaluated with rank-1, –3, and −5 accuracies, running time, and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM)–applied images. Results: This model had rank-1,–3, and −5 accuracies of 82.84%, 89.14%, and 92.23%, respectively. All rank-1 accuracy values of the proposed model were above 80% regardless of changes in image characteristics. The average running time to train the proposed model was 60.9 sec per epoch, and the prediction time for 746 test DPRs was short (3.2 sec/image). The Grad-CAM technique verified that the model automatically identified humans by focusing on identifiable dental information. Conclusion: The proposed model showed good performance in fully automatic human identification despite differing image characteristics of DPRs acquired from the same patients. Our model is expected to assist in the fast and accurate identification by experts by comparing large amounts of images and proposing identification candidates at high speed.
