Studies on gait recognition are mostly based on the assumption that walking direction is parallel to the camera, and the person's side view is extracted. Walking direction has becoming one of the gait recognition challenge problems. In this paper we explore gait recognition considering any directions of walking which is not definitely parallel to the camera. We propose a novel approach to computing the walking direction and extracting features by employing a human model. Furthermore, a support vector machine (SVM) is performed allowing us to investigate and evaluate the recognition power of any walking directions. We applied our method to the real human walking video data, and achieved high recognition rate. Our approach finds out how changes in walking direction affect gait parameters in terms of recognition performance. As it is entirely based on human gait, our approach is robust to different type of clothes and different walking directions

In the design of modern high frequency radio direction finder (DF), multi elements DF antennas are used. The advantage of DF to the conventional types is in utilizing four elements. Error of arriving wave angle and calculated angle depends on few factors, such as array dimensions, number of elements, and location of main transmitter. Recently research works have been reported on reducing error between arriving wave angle and calculated angle but in practical case, other transmitters, unwanted reflection and the noise could increase the error. In this paper, we investigate effect of above parameters on the error then by using adaptive blind algorithm, these effects are reduced and SINR in output is increased

This work investigates the unbalanced operation conditions of two interconnected radial distribution feeders. To connect two radial distribution feeders is an important method of improving the reliability of a distribution system. However, it also impacts the operation of the system. In this work commercial software, OrCAD PSpice is used to build three-phase equivalent models of the sample distribution system with two radial primary feeders, and investigate the unbalanced operation conditions of two sample feeders before and after an interconnection is made. Data that include the voltages, currents, power losses and unbalanced ratios of the sample feeders are presented and discussed. They are anticipated to be a useful reference for personnel in electrical utilities, to help them understand the unbalanced problems of interconnected feeders

Speech process has benefited a great deal from the wavelet transforms. Wavelet packets decompose signals in to broader components using linear spectral bisecting. In this paper, mixtures of speech signals are decomposed using wavelet packets, the phase difference between the two mixtures are investigated in wavelet domain. In our method Laplacian mixture model (LMM) is defined. An expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is used for training of the model and calculation of model parameters which is the mixture matrix. Therefore individual speech components of speech mixtures are separated

Offline handwritten character recognition involves the recognition of handwritten character patterns in digital images. This is a challenging computational problem mainly due to the vast differences associated with the handwritten patterns of different individuals. Fuzzy logic plays a major role in both offline and online handwritten character recognition, since a fuzzy system with an automatically generated rule base possesses the features of flexibility, efficiency and online adaptability. This paper presents an online adaptable fuzzy method for offline handwritten numeric character recognition

In this paper we present polynomial neural network (PNN) model using the group method of data handling to generate a nonlinear time series for classification of patterns. The proposed method considers nonlinear characteristics of the datasets and tries to evolve a polynomial using polynomial neural network that will approximate it to arbitrary token values representing the different classes in the dataset. The approach suggested finds the coefficients of PNN model by means of least square estimation technique. The PNN evolves its layers and number of neurons in each layer after evaluating the fitness function till it attains satisfactory result. Empirical result shows that PNN designed classifier performs better than many other classifier models on selected data sets using less number of features

The quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) are the problem of assigning 'n' facilities to 'n' locations so that the assignment cost is minimized, where the cost is defined by a quadratic function. In this paper we investigate and present the application of population based hybrid ant-colony system (PHAS) metaheuristic for solving machine (facility) layout problems formulated as quadratic assignment problem, a well-known NP hard combinatorial optimization problem. Ant-colony system is a model for designing metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. The PHAS ant system algorithm incorporates population-based ants in its initial phase instead of small number of ants and probability based pheromone trail modification. We tested our algorithm on the benchmark instances of QAPLIB, a well-known library of QAP instances and the obtained solution quality is compared with solution obtained with standard guided local search algorithm for the same QAP

This paper presents a novel approach to the ant colony optimization algorithm by using an obstacle avoidance strategy for mining classification rules from event log file datasets. An obstacle is purported to be present on a path as a classification rule is incrementally discovered if the rule convergence time is high or the degree of change between successive modifications to the rule exceeds a certain threshold value. By assigning zones to complete paths in a region based on the associated average obstacle density and prioritizing them, classification rules are discovered in descending order of the priorities of zones to enable faster mining in more obstacle-free paths. Experimental results are shown describing a comparative study with the popular C5 algorithm for the event log file datasets

This paper proposes a useful method driving the electric car by using EMG interface, which is used as living body interface. The EMG signal can be measured from all the people easily, even physically handicapped people, elderly and so on. The EMG signals are measured from both hand palms and neck using a simple electrode. In our interface, the effective frequency band of EMG signal is extracted to drive the electric car effectively. The extracted signal is converted to binary signal which drives differential motor. In the experiments that driving the electric car by using the proposed EMG interface, we used the SD method to evaluate of operation feeling and riding comfort. As a result, it is shown that the effective frequency band gives an influence on operation feeling and riding comfort
