  • In this paper, we investigate a signal typing on the basis of visual impression of distinctive spectrogram. Pathological voices are classified into signal type 1, 2, 3, or 4 to estimate perturbation parameters and to mark perceptual rating based on Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). The results suggest that perturbation analysis can be applied to only type 1 and 2 signals and the perceptual ratings of overall grade increase with each signal type, overall. A good inter-rater reliability is showed among three raters. We recommend that pathological voices should be marked the signal typing and CAPE-V, together, to definitely describe the characteristics of pathological voices.

  • This paper interprets the relationship between the physical activity of the human and the signal of the brain to show the meaningful results in the process of sending and receiving information to the connected muscles. When a person works or thinks, a specific brain signal is generated from the brain and being trasmmited to the connected part. The EMG signal, which has muscle activity information, outputs the result of the muscle activation as an electrical signal, which outputs muscle activity information usually due to muscle contraction and relaxation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the two signals, which are difficult to identify easily by visual data extraction and data acquisition by extracting such EMG and EMG in real time.

  • Markerless augmented reality system must have the capability to recognize and match natural objects both in indoor and outdoor environment. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed for extracting features and recognizing natural objects using visual descriptors and codebooks. Since the augmented reality applications are sensitive to speed of operation and real time performance, our work mainly focused on recognition of multi-class natural objects and reduce the computing time for classification and feature extraction. SIFT(scale invariant feature transforms) and SURF(speeded up robust feature) are used to extract features from natural objects during training and testing, and their performance is compared. Then we form visual codebook from the high dimensional feature vectors using clustering algorithm and recognize the objects using naive Bayes classifier.

  • 본 논문은 교통 신호 제어 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교하기 위한 복합교차로 시뮬레이터를 구현하였다. 기존의 교통 시뮬레이터들은 단일교차로를 대상으로 하거나 텍스트 모드로 동작하는 경우가 많았다. 논문의 시뮬레이터는 Visual C++의 MFC 라이브러리를 사용하여 n $\times$ n 형태를 갖는 복합교차로에 적합하도록 객체지향적으로 구현되었으며, 성능 비교를 위하여 제어 알고리즘들을 별개의 윈도우에서 처리하기 쉽도록 MDI 방식을 사용하였다. 개발한 시뮬레이터는 그래프 윈도우와 맵 윈도우의 편리한 사용자 인터페이스, 논리시간 설정을 통한 다목적 시뮬레이션, 다양한 성능평가 출력 등의 특징을 갖는다. Abstract In this paper, we implemented a multiple crossroad simulator to evaluate the performance of the traffic signal control algorithms. Most of existing traffic simulators were operated in text-mode or at a single intersection. We developed the object-oriented simulator suitable for multiple crossroads with n $\times$ n intersections by using MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) library in Visual C++. The simulator was implemented by using MDI (Multiple Document Interface) scheme in order to process both control algorithms in separate windows respectively. Our simulator has the following features: user friendly interface with graph window and map window, multi-purpose simulations by setting logical time, and various forms of performance evaluation.

  • One of the most active areas of research in the field of affective computing and signal processing is emotion recognition. This paper proposes emotion recognition of low-resource (Sindhi) language. This work's uniqueness is that it examines the emotions of languages for which there is currently no publicly accessible dataset. The proposed effort has provided a dataset named MAVDESS (Mehran Audio-Visual Dataset Mehran Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech in Sindhi) for the academic community of a significant Sindhi language that is mainly spoken in Pakistan; however, no generic data for such languages is accessible in machine learning except few. Furthermore, the analysis of various emotions of Sindhi language in MAVDESS has been carried out to annotate the emotions using line features such as pitch, volume, and base, as well as toolkits such as OpenSmile, Scikit-Learn, and some important classification schemes such as LR, SVC, DT, and KNN, which will be further classified and computed to the machine via Python language for training a machine. Meanwhile, the dataset can be accessed in future via https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5213073.

  • This paper presents balancing control of inverted pendulum on the ROBOKER arm using visual information. The angle of the inverted pendulum placed on the robot arm is detected by a stereo camera and the detected angle is used as a feedback and tracking error for the controller. Thus, the overall closed loop forms a visual servoing control task. To improve control performance, neural network is introduced to compensate for uncertainties. The learning algorithm of radial basis function(RBF) network is performed by the digital signal controller which is designed to calculate floating format data and embedded on a field programmable gate array(FPGA) chip. Experimental studies are conducted to confirm the performance of the overall system implementation.

  • Treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms weather by surgery, or endovascular embolization has a risk of visual loss due to optic neuropathy, or diplopia due to cranial nerve palsies. Visual complications occur immediately after the clipping, whereas they can occur variable time after endovascular coiling. Recently, endovascular coiling for paraclinoid aneurysm is regarded as a safe and feasible treatment. But it still has risks of acute thromboembolic complication, or cranial nerve palsies. A 45-year-old woman was referred from local hospital to our hospital due to ruptured large ICA dorsal wall aneurysm. A total of 12 coils (195 cm) were used for obliteration of aneurysm. Postoperative diffusion weighted image showed no abnormal signal intensity lesion and magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated no sign of vasospasm, or vessel narrowing. But, she complained visual problem 23 days after coil embolization. Ophthalmologist confirmed the left optic disc atrophy on fundoscopy. Although steroid was started, but monocular blindness did not recover completely. The endovascular embolization of paraclinoid aneurysm, especially projecting superiorly with large irregular shape, has the risk of progressive visual loss because of the proximity to optic nerve.

  • In this study, we developed a portable device which can monitor and analyze vibration signals from machines. This system consists a PDA loading the program for vibration analysis and A/D board for vibration acquisition. A PDA is smaller than the palm of the hand, but it has a powerful computing ability as much as an IBM compatible PC with a Pentium 100MHz CPU. The A/D board developed in this study supports LAN interface using TCP/IP communication protocol. The application program for vibration analysis includes signal processing module, fault diagnosis module, data store module, and plot display module. MS visual embedded C++ 3.0 was used to developed the program.

  • In this study, we aim to eliminate the flickering phenomenon in multi-function display (MFD) units during the flight of fixed-wing aircraft. To execute flight missions effectively, the video signals transmitted to MFDs must provide information accurately and seamlessly. Therefore, a method for addressing the flickering phenomenon-including cause analysis and failure diagnosis-is adopted; specifically, a wiring configuration with a direct connection between the video signal cables and with a short cable length is adopted. The proposed method is experimentally verified using a flight test.

  • ERG signal represents the responses of the each layer of retina for the visual stimulus and accumulated responses according to the signal processing occurring in the retina. By investigating the reaction types of each wave of the ERG, various kinds of information for the diagnosis and the signal processing mechanisms in the retina can be obtained. In this paper, the ERG signal is generated by simulating of the volume conductor field of response of each retina layer and summing of them algebraically. The retina model used for simulation is Shah’s Computer Retina model which is one of the most reliable models recently developed. The generated ERG is compared with the typical ERG and shows a very close similarity. By changing the parameters of the retina model, the diagnostic investigation is performed with the variation of the ERG waveform.
