This chapter presents the P300-based human machine interference (HMI) systems control robotic wheel chair (RWC) prototype in right, left, forward, backward, and stop positions. Four different targets letters are used to elicit the P300 waves, flickering in the low frequency region, by using oddball paradigms and displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen by Lab-VIEW. After the pre-processing and taking one second time window, feature is extracted by using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Three different classifiers—two based on ANNs pattern recognition neural network (PRNN) and feed forward neural network (FFNN) and the and other one based on support vector machine (SVM)—are used. Those three techniques are designed and compared with the different accuracies among them.

The monitoring of power quality (PQ) disturbances in a systematic and automated way is an important issue to prevent detrimental effects on power system. The development of new methods for the automatic recognition of single and hybrid PQ disturbances is at present a major concern. This paper presents a combined approach of wavelet transform based support vector machine (WT-SVM) for the automatic classification of single and hybrid PQ disturbances. The proposed approach is applied by using synthetic models of various single and hybrid PQ signals. The suitable features of the PQ waveforms were first extracted by using discrete wavelet transform. Then SVM classifies the type of PQ disturbances based on these features. The classification performance of the proposed algorithm is also compared with wavelet based radial basis function neural network, probabilistic neural network and feed-forward neural network. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of the proposed WT-SVM based classification system is more accurate and much better than the other classifiers.

Indoor and outdoor positioning lets to offer universal location services in industry and academia. Wi-Fi and Global Positioning System (GPS) are the promising technologies for indoor and outdoor positioning, respectively. However, Wi-Fi-based positioning is less accurate due to the vigorous changes of environments and shadowing effects. GPS-based positioning is also characterized by much cost, highly susceptible to the physical layouts of equipment, power-hungry, and sensitive to occlusion. In this paper, we propose a hybrid of support vector machine (SVM) and deep neural network (DNN) to develop scalable and accurate positioning in Wi-Fi-based indoor and outdoor environments. In the positioning processes, we primarily construct real datasets from indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi-based environments. Secondly, we apply linear discriminate analysis (LDA) to construct a projected vector that uses to reduce features without affecting information contents. Thirdly, we construct a model for positioning through the integration of SVM and DNN. Fourthly, we use online datasets from unknown locations and check the missed radio signal strength (RSS) values using the feed-forward neural network (FFNN) algorithm to fill the missed values. Fifthly, we project the online data through an LDA-based projected vector. Finally, we test the positioning accuracies and scalabilities of a model created from a hybrid of SVM and DNN. The whole processes are implemented using Python 3.6 programming language in the TensorFlow framework. The proposed method provides accurate and scalable positioning services in different scenarios. The results also show that our proposed approach can provide scalable positioning, and 100% of the estimation accuracies are with errors less than 1 m and 1.9 m for indoor and outdoor positioning, respectively.

This paper presents a method for estimation of road profile for automotive research applications with more accuracy and higher speed. Dynamic response of a car equipped with position and velocity sensors and driving on a sample road is used as basic data. A feed-forward neural network, trained with outputs from a car model in ADAMS, is used as the car inverse model. The neural network is capable of estimating the road roughness from the car response during test drives. The ADAMS model is corrected and validated using a series of dynamic experiments on the car, performed on a hydro-pulse test rig. The only problem in this approach, like other identification and optimization methods, is the large volume of generated data in time domain, acquired from car response during road test. This problem is solved using wavelet methods to code the acquired data. Unlike all frequency methods that eliminate a large portion of the data details during processing, the wavelet coding method restores most of the details, while the volume of the stored data is kept to a minimum. The results show that this method can estimate the road profile accurately and with great savings in processing time and effort.

Exploring the manifestation of emotion in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is helpful for improving the accuracy of emotion recognition. This paper introduced the novel features based on the multiscale information analysis (MIA) of EEG signals for distinguishing emotional states in four dimensions based on Russell's circumplex model. The algorithms were applied to extract features on the DEAP database, which included multiscale EEG complexity index in the time domain, and ensemble empirical mode decomposition enhanced energy and fuzzy entropy in the frequency domain. The support vector machine and cross validation method were applied to assess classification accuracy. The classification performance of MIA methods (accuracy = 62.01%, precision = 62.03%, recall/sensitivity = 60.51%, and specificity = 82.80%) was much higher than classical methods (accuracy = 43.98%, precision = 43.81%, recall/sensitivity = 41.86%, and specificity = 70.50%), which extracted features contain similar energy based on a discrete wavelet transform, fractal dimension, and sample entropy. In this study, we found that emotion recognition is more associated with high frequency oscillations (51–100Hz) of EEG signals rather than low frequency oscillations (0.3–49Hz), and the significance of the frontal and temporal regions are higher than other regions. Such information has predictive power and may provide more insights into analyzing the multiscale information of high frequency oscillations in EEG signals.

Abstract Coal is heterogeneous in nature, and thus the characterization of coal is essential before its use for a specific purpose. Thus, the current study aims to develop a machine vision system for automated coal characterizations. The model was calibrated using 80 image samples that are captured for different coal samples in different angles. All the images were captured in RGB color space and converted into five other color spaces (HSI, CMYK, Lab, xyz, Gray) for feature extraction. The intensity component image of HSI color space was further transformed into four frequency components (discrete cosine transform, discrete wavelet transform, discrete Fourier transform, and Gabor filter) for the texture features extraction. A total of 280 image features was extracted and optimized using a step-wise linear regression-based algorithm for model development. The datasets of the optimized features were used as an input for the model, and their respective coal characteristics (analyzed in the laboratory) were used as outputs of the model. The R-squared values were found to be 0.89, 0.92, 0.92, and 0.84, respectively, for fixed carbon, ash content, volatile matter, and moisture content. The performance of the proposed artificial neural network model was also compared with the performances of performances of Gaussian process regression, support vector regression, and radial basis neural network models. The study demonstrates the potential of the machine vision system in automated coal characterization.

Abstract Securing the privacy of the medical information through the image steganography process has gained more research interest nowadays to protect the privacy of the patient. In the existing works, least significant bit (LSB) replacement strategy was most popularly used to hide the sensitive contents. Here, every pixel was replaced for achieving higher privacy, but it increased the complexity. This work introduces a novel pixel prediction scheme-based image steganography to overcome the complexity issues prevailing in the existing works. In the proposed pixel prediction scheme, the support vector neural network (SVNN) classifier is utilized for the construction of a prediction map, which identifies the suitable pixels for the embedding process. Then, in the embedding phase, wavelet coefficients are extracted from the medical image based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and embedding strength, and the secret message is embedded into the HL wavelet band. Finally, the secret message is extracted from the medical image on applying the DWT. The experimentation of the proposed pixel prediction scheme is done by utilizing the medical images from the BRATS database. The proposed pixel prediction scheme has achieved high performance with the values of 48.558 dB, 0.50009 and 0.9879 for the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and correlation factor, respectively.

We studied volatile determination in lignite coal samples using near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Firstly, spectra were pre-processed to eliminate useless information. Then, determination model was constructed by partial least squares regression. We used discrete wavelet transform to pre-processing. To study the influence of modeling on determination of volatile for NIR analysis of lignite coal samples, we applied three techniques to build determination model, including support vector regression, partial least square regression and radial basis function neural network. Comparison of the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of the models show that the models constructed with radial basis function neural network gave the best results.

In this paper, a new image fusion algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and spiking cortical model (SCM) is proposed. The multiscale decomposition and multi-resolution representation characteristics of DWT are associated with global coupling and pulse synchronization features of SCM. Two different fusion rules are used to fuse the low and high frequency sub-bands respectively. Maximum selection rule (MSR) is used to fuse low frequency coefficients. As to high frequency subband coefficients, spatial frequency (SF) is calculated and then imputed into SCM to motivate neural network. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fusion method.
