Generally, pattern recognition considered a strong challenge in many information processing research fields. The aim of this paper is to propose a highly accurate model for recognizing a handwritten English numeral through efficiently extracting the most valuable features of a certain handwritten numeral or digit. The handwritten English Numerals Recognition Model (HENRM) is proposed in this paper. The features extraction of the proposal based on combining both statistical and structural features of the certain numeral sample image. Mainly, the proposed HENCM has four phases which are image acquisition, image preprocessing, features extraction, and classification. In fact, four feature extraction approaches are utilized in this paper, which are the number of intersection points, the number of open-end points, calculation of density feature, and determining the chain code for each of the English numerals. The latter phase gives a features vector of 26-element size to be fed into the classifier that uses the Multi-class Support Vector Machine (MSVM) for the classification process. The experimental results showed that the proposed HENCM exhibits an average recognition rate equals to 97%. Index Terms—Chain Code, Density feature, MSVM, Recognition.

Text embedded in an image contains useful information for applications in the medical, industrial, commercial, and research fields. While many systems have been designed to correctly identify text in images, no work addressing the recognition of degraded text on clear plastic has been found. This paper posits novel methods and an apparatus for extracting text from an image with the practical assumption: (a) poor background contrast, (b) white, curved, and/or differing fonts or character width between sets of images, (c) dotted text printed on curved reflective material, and/or (d) touching characters. Methods were evaluated using a total of 100 unique test images containing a variety of texts captured from water bottles. These tests averaged a processing time of ~10 seconds (using MATLAB R2008A on an HP 8510 W with 4 G of RAM and 2.3 GHz of processor speed), and experimental results yielded an average recognition rate of 90 to 93% using customized systems generated by the proposed development.

Svm Model

A hybrid support vector machine (SVM) and hidden Markov model (HMM) model was introduced into the fault diagnosis of pump. This model had double layers: the first layer used HMM to classify preliminarily in order to get the coverage of possible faults; the second layer utilized this information to activate the corresponding SVMs for improving the recognition accuracy. The structure of this hybrid model was clear and feasible. Especially the model had the potential of large-scale multiclass application in fault diagnosis because of its good scalability. The recognition experiments of 26 statuses on the ZLH600-2 pump showed that the recognition capability of this model was sound in multiclass problems. The recognition rate of one bearing eccentricity increased from SVM’s 84.42% to 89.61% while the average recognition rate of hybrid model reached 95.05%. Although some goals while model constructed did not be fully realized, this model was still very good in practical applications.

The study of lower limb movements plays an important role in many fields, such as rehabilitation and treatment of disabled patients, detection, and monitoring of daily life, as well as the interaction between people and machine, like the application of intelligent prosthetics. In this paper, the wireless device was used to collect the mechanomyography (MMG) signals of four thigh muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and semitendinosus) and the attitude angle of rectus femoris. High precision was achieved in 11 gait movements, including 3 static activities, 4 dynamic transition activities, and 4 dynamic activities. It has been verified that the hidden Markov model (HMM) could not only be applied to the MMG-based gait recognition with high veracity but also support comparative analysis between support vector machine (SVM) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). In addition, the experiment was conducted from the perspectives of feature selections, channel combinations, and muscle contribution rates. The results show that the average classification accuracy of dynamic motions based on MMG is 98.27%, while based on attitude angle, the average recognition rate of static motions and dynamic transition motions could achieve 98.33% and 100%, respectively. Generally, the average recognition rate of 11 gait motions is 98.91%.

Studies on developing effective neuromarkers based on magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals have been drawing increasing attention in the neuroscience community. This study explores the idea of using source-based magnitude-squared spectral coherence as a spatial indicator for effective regions of interest (ROIs) localization, subsequently discriminating the participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from a group of age-matched healthy control (HC) elderly participants. We found that the cortical regions could be divided into two distinctive groups based on their coherence indices. Compared to HC, some ROIs showed increased connectivity (hyper-connected ROIs) for MCI participants, whereas the remaining ROIs demonstrated reduced connectivity (hypo-connected ROIs). Based on these findings, a series of wavelet-based source-level neuromarkers for MCI detection are proposed and explored, with respect to the two distinctive ROI groups. It was found that the neuromarkers extracted from the hyper-connected ROIs performed significantly better for MCI detection than those from the hypo-connected ROIs. The neuromarkers were classified using support vector machine (SVM) and k-NN classifiers and evaluated through Monte Carlo cross-validation. An average recognition rate of 93.83% was obtained using source-reconstructed signals from the hyper-connected ROI group. To better conform to clinical practice settings, a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) approach was also employed to ensure that the data for testing was from a participant that the classifier has never seen. Using LOOCV, we found the best average classification accuracy was reduced to 83.80% using the same set of neuromarkers obtained from the ROI group with functional hyper-connections. This performance surpassed the results reported using wavelet-based features by approximately 15%. Overall, our work suggests that (1) certain ROIs are particularly effective for MCI detection, especially when multi-resolution wavelet biomarkers are employed for such diagnosis; (2) there exists a significant performance difference in system evaluation between research-based experimental design and clinically accepted evaluation standards.

Aims: The study aimed to determine the specific features responsible for the recognition of gestures, to design a computational model for the process and to implement the model and evaluate its performance. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Computer Engineering, Federal Polytechnic, Ede, between August 2017 and February 2018. Methodology: Samples of hand gesture were collected from the deaf school. In total, 40 samples containing 4 gestures for each numeral were collected and processed. The collected samples were pre-processed and rescaled from 340 × 512 pixels to 256 × 256 pixels. The samples were examined for the specific characteristics responsible for the recognition of gestures using edge detection and histogram of the oriented gradient as feature extraction techniques. The model was implemented in MATLAB using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as its classifier. The performance of the system was evaluated using precision, recall and accuracy as metrics. Results: It was observed that the system showed a high classification rate for the considered hand gestures. For numerals 1, 3, 5 and 7, 100% accuracy were recorded, numerals 2 and 9 had 90% accuracy, numeral 4 had 85.67% accuracy, numeral 6 had 93.56%, numeral 8 had 88% while numeral 10 recorded 90.72% accuracy. An average recognition rate of 95% on tested data was recorded over a dataset of 40 hand gestures. Conclusion: The study has successfully classified hand gesture for Yorùbá Sign Language (YSL). Thus, confirming that YSL could be incorporated into the deaf educational system. The developed system will enhance the communication skills between hearing and hearing impaired people.

The Impact

The main objective of this study is to recognize design fixation accurately and effectively. First, we conducted an experiment to record the videos of design process and design sketches from 12 designers for 15 minutes. Then, we executed a video analysis of body language in designers, correlating body language to the presence of design fixation, as judged by a panel of six experts. We found that three body language types were significantly correlated to fixation. A two-step hybrid recognition model of design fixation based on body language was proposed. The first-step recognition model of body language using transfer learning based on a pretrained VGG-16 convolutional neural network was constructed. The average recognition rate achieved by the VGG-16 model was 92.03%. Then, the frames of recognized body language were used as input vectors to the second-step fixation classification model based on support vector machine (SVM). The average recognition rate for the fixation state achieved by the SVM model was 79.11%. The impact of the work could be that the fixation can be detected not only by the sketch outcomes but also by monitoring the movements, expressions, and gestures of designers, as it is happening by monitoring the movements, expressions, and gestures of designers.

Gaussian Blur

This paper presents the application of Gaussian blur filters and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques for greeting recognition among the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. Existing efforts have considered different recognition gestures. However, tribal greeting postures or gestures recognition for the Nigerian geographical space has not been studied before. Some cultural gestures are not correctly identified by people of the same tribe, not to mention other people from different tribes, thereby posing a challenge of misinterpretation of meaning. Also, some cultural gestures are unknown to most people outside a tribe, which could also hinder human interaction; hence there is a need to automate the recognition of Nigerian tribal greeting gestures. This work hence develops a Gaussian Blur – SVM based system capable of recognizing the Yoruba tribe greeting postures for men and women. Videos of individuals performing various greeting gestures were collected and processed into image frames. The images were resized and a Gaussian blur filter was used to remove noise from them. This research used a moment-based feature extraction algorithm to extract shape features that were passed as input to SVM. SVM is exploited and trained to perform the greeting gesture recognition task to recognize two Nigerian tribe greeting postures. To confirm the robustness of the system, 20%, 25% and 30% of the dataset acquired from the preprocessed images were used to test the system. A recognition rate of 94% could be achieved when SVM is used, as shown by the result which invariably proves that the proposed method is efficient.
