Technically, the choice of permittivity and corresponding width of dielectrics required to load the walls of the waveguide polarizer to produce an optimum design remains a severe challenge. We classify this as an optimization problem and address it using the CE method. The dielectric loading on the walls of a square waveguide polarizer is optimized to achieve a broader bandwidth and an axial ratio (AR) below 0.2 dB. The CE algorithm coded in MATLAB in conjunction with the full-wave simulations in CST MWS is implemented to increase the AR bandwidth and reduce the overall length of the polarizer.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129257439","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}

Moreover, the more the sensory information collected and transmitted by sensors, the better the state estimation performance. However, the limited spectrum resources make it challenging to support the simultaneous transmission of all sensors, which will significantly reduce the estimation accuracy. Moreover, due to the heterogeneous sensing abilities of sensors, scheduling different sensors will have distinct contributions on improving the estimation performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes a priority-aware transmission scheduling scheme for state estimation. In particular, the priority is firstly given based on Age of Information (AoI), where AoI characterizes the freshness of sensory information and is related to the historical scheduling situations. Then, we investigate the relationship between the AoI of sensory information and the error of state estimation, based on which a priority-aware transmission scheduling algorithm is designed by considering the spectrum resource limitation and the sensing ability heterogeneity. To further improve the estimation accuracy, a constrained optimization problem is formulated to jointly design the transmission scheme and transmit power. Besides, a low-complexity heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the formulated mixed integer nonlinear problem efficiently. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness and superiorities of the proposed transmission scheduling scheme.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122411792","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}

Diagnosing and screening for gastric abnormalities can be time-consuming and challenging as many stomach and digestive disorders have similar symptoms. 60 to 70 million Americans suffer from gastric abnormalities which lead to nearly 250,000 deaths per year according to the ‘National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases’. To overcome the current limitations, our approach uses deep learning (DL) integrated with wireless capsule endoscopy for segmentation of video capsule endoscopy images to detect four different abnormalities in the Gastrointestinal Tract (polyps, Angiectasias, erythema and Lymphangiectasia) and to develop lightweight, low-latency models that can be integrated with low-end endoscopic hardware devices [1]. Deep learning (DL) is a subfield of Machine Learning (ML) that utilizes layered structure of algorithms inspired by the biological neural network of the human brain. DL can reinforce disease diagnosis, interventions; and documenting procedure findings and quality measures [2]. DL has the potential to revolutionize gastrointestinal endoscopy as it can enhance clinical performance and support assessing lesions more accurately when trained by domain experts [3]. Experiments has been conducted on large benchmark dataset of Kvasir-Capsule dataset achieving high segmentation accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 98.60%, 100% and 76.99%, respectively. The experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed model has achieved enhanced performance in terms of a trade-off between model complexity, metric performances and model parameters.","PeriodicalId":106639,"journal":{"name":"2022 5th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124516440","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}

Preliminary simulations are performed on a DC motor model; whereas, experimental runs are done on a differentially driven robot powered by DC motors, to compare the performance of both control laws.

To mitigate such noise, we employed wavelet transform and likelihood functions (Gaussian mixture model and Laplace distribution). Likelihood based hard thresholding was performed for wavelet coefficients and it effectively eliminated noise in EDR signal. To verify the algorithms, we used the MIT-MIMIC open source data with simulated spike random noise. Most correlation coefficients and mean absolute errors of filtered EDRs were significantly higher and lower than those of contaminated EDRs ($p < 0.0001$), respectively.
