Neural networks are suitable for use in intrusion detection systems. To analyze the suitability of using neural networks several data sets were created. They consist of a set of legitimate and malicious communications represented by equally represented samples of data streams, with the number of parameters used varying according to the input parameter optimization method used. For training of the neural networks were used 3 training algorithms: Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, Bayesian regularization, and scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation algorithm. Dimensionality reduction can decrease the number of features to decrease computational complexity. Two methods are analyzed in the paper: principal component analysis and the stepwise selection method. These methods are compared with results achieved from the training of neural networks for a full set of parameters of the input data sets. The proposed topology of the artificial neural network obtains the probability of correct classification from 80.8 to 84.6% for selected test sets.","PeriodicalId":103310,"journal":{"name":"2022 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128556985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is aimed at commercially available UAVs that are intended for high-quality private or affordable professional use, but at the same time operate in the 2.4 GHz license-free band. Representatives of control sets with different types of communication protocols were selected for the measurement so that they could be compared. The initial measurement revealed the behavior of the control signals (modulation type, security, FH (Frequency Hopping), existence of a return channel...), thereby creating three different groups of control devices for measurement. Only some control units can actively react to interference. The communication protocols of the UAV control sets are designed to be able to ensure a reliable connection in an environment where unintentional collisions can occur relatively often. The analysis of the control protocol took place on the basis of the interference of a very small part of the frequency spectrum (one channel intended for FH) and the subsequent analysis of the behavior of this interference. The knowledge gained about the ability to avoid collisions in the spectrum can be used to create effective intentional jamming in the future.","PeriodicalId":103310,"journal":{"name":"2022 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132697133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spoken words are compared with reference pronunciation in terms of phonetic parameters. Each parameter can be evaluated separately or all parameters together. The learner gets immediate feedback in two forms – percentage correctness of its pronunciation and verbal recommendation at which points to improve its pronunciation, supported by an indicative visual feedback in form of graphs showing each of the phonetic parameters along the spoken word.

Two types of data are analyzed, frame objects present on the astronomical Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) frames and space objects’ light curves, which could be considered as a footprint for given object. In our work we will present ML algorithm used for recognition of frame objects present in the FITS frames by using their specific shape. Presented algorithm is a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) of 9 layers. The input to the network is a small 50x50 image which must contain only one object for the network to correctly classify it. This could later be used as subnet in region-based CNN after finding regions of interest in full FITS image. Additionally, we present results of applying CNN neural network based on ResNet architecture to classify light curves to categories based on their shape. For deep learning we used primarily public catalogue light curves of selected populations of upper stages e.g., Falcon 9, Atlas Centaur 5, Delta 4 which usually contain simpler features in their photometric series. The modeling software Blender was also used to generate synthetic light curves for training purposes. Algorithm can identify correctly more than 84% of tested objects. In near future we plan to extend the algorithm to identify more complex objects such as box-wing and single box-wing satellites.","PeriodicalId":103310,"journal":{"name":"2022 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127928373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measure is based on a comparison of the contrast of the original image and the image with the degradation. Discrete cosine transform coefficients are used for contrast estimation. By applying the measure, a scalar value is obtained that reflects the quality of the test (degraded) image. The proposed measure is tested on an infrared image dataset developed by the Military Academy in Belgrade, Serbia. The performance of the measure was compared with other well-known objective full-reference image quality assessment metrics, which were developed for the images in visible domain. It was shown that measure performance can be improved with the adequate selections of the block dimensions and the number of discrete cosine transform coefficients during the calculation of image quality value. The proposed measure obtained a correlation with the subjective scores near 82%, which puts the measure into the top three of all tested image quality assessment measures. The proposed measure showed the best performance on the images distorted by Gaussian blurring, where the level of agreement with the subjective scores is over 97%, according to which the measure stands out as the best compared to other tested measures.","PeriodicalId":103310,"journal":{"name":"2022 New Trends in Signal Processing (NTSP)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127029693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
