Abstract Objective: The use of surface electromyography (sEMG) to realize the recognition of the movement intention can realize the control of the artificial hand or the robot, and can help the rehabilitation training for hemiplegia or muscle weakness. However, the sEMG are weak and susceptible to external interference, so the current research focuses on identifying certain types of movements. But once the subjects are changed, the recognition accuracy will greatly reduce. This study proposes a classification method which the subject could choose optional movements of forearm.Methods: Two sEMG sensors were used, and a 9-axis attitude sensor was added to the wrist. 8 different subjects participated in the experiment, and everyone selected 5 movements. The sEMG sensors were attached to the extensor pollicis brevis and the extensor digitorum. The sEMG features were: Standard Deviation (SD), Power Spectrum Density (PSD); attitude sensor features were: angle and angular acceleration in three dimensional space, and integral of angular acceleration. The results were classified and identified using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT) and Ensembles (En) algorithms. The results of using the sEMG, using the attitude sensor signals and combining the two were compared. Analysis of variance was conducted on the average accuracy. Features were reduced the dimension by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the results of using PCA and not were compared. Results: The results showed that the combination of the two types of sensors could improve the recognition effect compared to the using sEMG sensor or the attitude sensor alone. The final recognition result was that KNN performed best, reaching 95.0%. The results of using PCA were more stable.Conclusion: The method could be used between different subjects, and the user could select the movements autonomously.Significance: This method can improve the adaptability of movement intention recognition based on sEMG, and has important significance for popularizing the use of the sEMG to control the manipulator or the prosthetic and the rehabilitation training.

Pose Variation

Face biometric is becoming more popular because of its wide range of applications in authorizing the person either from an image or from the video sequence. The bottleneck in face recognition is Pose angle variation, varying light condition, Partial Occlusion, Blur in the image or Noise. The proposed method first removes the noise from the image using Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) then Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) is applied to normalize the illumination problem. The algorithm is further used to remove the motion blur using Lucy Richardson’s method by calculating the Point Spread Function (PSF). The Pose variation problem is then addressed with Global Linear Regression(GLR). Then the Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) are applied to the normalized image to get the feature vector. This combined feature score is used to recognize the image using K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN). The result shows a maximum accuracy of 92% and 87.5% with Pose angle variation between (0°, 22°) and (22°, 40°) respectively. The pose variation greater than this shows an average accuracy of 77.5%. The result also shows a maximum computation speed of 0.018 Seconds.

Mints emit diverse scents that exert specific biological functions and are relevance for applications. The current work strives to develop electronic noses that can electronically discriminate the scents emitted by different species of Mint as alternative to conventional profiling by gas chromatography. Here, 12 different sensing materials including 4 different metal oxide nanoparticle dispersions (AZO, ZnO, SnO2, ITO), one Metal-Organic Frame as Cu(BPDC), and 7 different polymer films including PVA, PEDOT: PSS, PFO, SB, SW, SG, PB were used for functionalizing of QCM sensors. The purpose was to discriminate six economically relevant Mint species (Mentha x piperita, Mentha spicata, Mentha spicata ssp. crispa, Mentha longifolia, Agastache rugosa, and Nepeta cataria). The adsorption and desorption datasets obtained from each modified QCM sensor were processed by three different classification models including Principal Component Analy-sis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and k-Nearest Neighbor Analysis (k-NN). This allowed discriminating the different Mints with classification accuracies of 97.2% (PCA), 100% (LDA), and 99.9% (k-NN), respectively. Prediction accuracies with a repeating test measurement reached up to 90.6% for LDA, and 85.6% for k-NN. These data demonstrate that this electronic nose can discriminate different Mint scents in a reliable and efficient manner.

Principal components analysis (PCA) is a popular linear feature extractor, and widely used in signal processing, face recognition, etc. However, axes of the lower-dimensional space, i.e., principal components, are a set of new variables carrying no clear physical meanings. Thus we propose unsupervised feature selection algorithms based on eigenvectors analysis to identify critical original features for principal component. The presented algorithms are based on k-nearest neighbor rule to find the predominant row components and eight new measures are proposed to compute the correlation between row components in transformation matrix. Experiments are conducted on benchmark data sets and facial image data sets for gender classification to show their superiorities.

Late of infant pain detection on the early stage may affect newborns growth. Regarding of this matter, different techniques have been proposed such as facial expressions, speech production variation, and physiological signals to detect the pain states of a person. For past 2 decades, the determination of pain state through images has been undergone substantial research and development. Various techniques are used in the literature to classify pain states on the basis of images. In this paper, a feature extraction method using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was adopted for identifying the pain states of an infant. In this study images samples are taken from Classification of Pain Expressions (COPE) database. Fuzzy k-NN, k Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Feed Forward Neural network (FFNN) and Linear Discriminant analysis (LDA) based classifier is used to test usefulness of suggested features. Experimental result shows that the suggested methods can be used to identify the pain states of an infant.

Purpose: Sleep apnea is a common disease among women, and mainly men. The most dangerous complication of this disorder is heart stroke. Other complications include insufficient sleep and resulting daytime tiredness and illness that affect the individual's activities during the day, disrupt their life. Therefore, identifying this disease is important. Materials and Methods: We used Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) channels from the data of 25 patients with sleep apnea, for each type of sleep apnea, 8 nonlinear-like features, including fractal dimension, correlation dimension, certainty, recurrence rate, mean diagonal lines, the entropy of recursive quantification analysis, sample Entropy, and Shannon entropy were extracted. Then, feature matrices were sorted using principal component analysis in the order of linear combination of features, and the 20 selected features were chosen, normalized using common methods, and fed to different classifiers. Two 5-class and 2-class classification methods were assessed. In the 5-classification, three classifiers were used; the support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, and multilayer perceptron. Results: The results showed that the highest mean validity, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for the SVM classifier was 88.45%, 88.35%, 88.33%, and 88.32%, respectively. In the 2-class approach, in addition to the mentioned classifiers, linear discriminant analysis, Bayes, and majority voting were used, and each class was considered against all classes. The highest average validity, average accuracy, average sensitivity, average specificity using the majority rule voting was 94.35%, 94.30%, 94.32%, and 94.15% respectively. Conclusion: When the results of classifiers are combined with the majority voting method, the validity of identifying the classes increases. The average validity for this method was obtained at 94.42%, which was higher than several other studies. It is recommended that databases with a larger sample size be used. This would lead to increased reliability of the proposed analysis method. Moreover, using novel deep-learning-based methods could help obtain better results.

Colorimetric Sensor Array

The colorimetric sensor array was used to detect the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in squids with different formaldehyde content. In order to distinguish whether the formaldehyde is artificially added in the squids, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) based on principal component analysis (PCA) were used to make qualitative judgments, the result shows that the recognition rates of the training set and prediction set of the LDA model were 95% and 85% respectively, and the recognition rates of the training set and prediction set of the KNN model were both 90%. Moreover, error back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) was used to quantitatively predict the concentration of formaldehyde in squids. The result indicates that the BP-ANN model acquired a good recognition rate with the correlation coefficient (Rp) for prediction was 0.9887 when the PCs was 10. To verify accuracy and applicability of the model, paired sample t-test was used to verify the difference between the predicted value of formaldehyde in the BP-ANN model and the actual addition amount. Therefore, this approach showed well potentiality to provide a fast, accuracy, no need for a pretreatment, and low-cost technique for detecting the formaldehyde in squids.

The present study was conducted on three commercial laying breeder strains to evaluate differences of sensory qualities, including texture, smell, and taste parameters. A total of 140 eggs for each breed were acquired from Beinong No.2 (B) laying hens, Hy-Line Brown (H) laying hens, and Wuhei (W) laying hens. Sensory qualities of egg yolks and albumen from three breeds were detected and discriminated based on different algorithms. Texture profile analysis (TPA) showed that the eggs from three breeds had no differences in hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness other than cohesiveness. The smell profiles measured by electronic nose illustrated that differences existed in all 10 sensors for albumen and 8 sensors for yolks. The taste profiles measured by electronic tongue found that the main difference of egg yolks and albumen existed in bitterness and astringency. Principal component analysis (PCA) successfully showed grouping of three breeds based on electronic nose data and failed in grouping based on electronic tongue data. Based on electronic nose data, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), fine k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and linear support vector machine (SVM) were performed to discriminate yolks, albumen, and the whole eggs with 100% classification accuracy. While based on electronic tongue data, the best classification accuracy was 96.7% for yolks by LDA and fine tree, 88.9% for albumen by LDA, and 87.5% for the whole eggs by fine KNN. The experiment results showed that three breeds’ eggs had main differences in smells and could be successfully discriminated by LDA, fine KNN, and linear SVM algorithms based on electronic nose.

Classification of apple is an important link in postharvest commercialization processing. To realize the non-destructive, rapid and effective discrimination of apple fruits, the near infrared reflectance spectra of four varieties of apples were collected using near infrared spectroscopy, reduced by principal component analysis (PCA) and used to extract the discriminant information by linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), fuzzy discriminant analysis (FDA) and Foley-Sammon discriminant analysis. Finally k-nearest neighbor finished the classification. The classification results showed that FDA could extract the discriminant information of NIR spectra more effectively, and achieved the highest classification accuracy.

Bearings are considered as indispensable and critical components of mechanical equipment, which support the basic forces and dynamic loads. Across different condition monitoring (CM) techniques, infrared thermography (IRT) has gained the limelight due to its noncontact nature, high accuracy, and reliability. This article presents the use of IRT for the bearing fault diagnosis. A two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2D-DWT) has been applied for the decomposition of the thermal image. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been used for the reduction of dimensionality of extracted features, and thereafter the most relevant features are accomplished. Furthermore, support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) as the classifiers were considered for classification of faults and performance assessment. The results reveal that the SVM outperformed LDA as well as KNN. Noncontact condition monitoring shows a great potential to be implemented in determining the health of machine. The utilization of noncontact thermal imaging-based instruments has enormous potential in anticipating the maintenance and increased machine availability.
