We consider the problem of face and non-face classification from frontal facial images using feature selection and neural networks. We argue that feature selection is an important issue in face and non-face classification. Automatic feature subset selection distinguishes the proposed method from previous face classification approaches. First, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to represent each image as a feature vector (i.e., eigen-features) in a low-dimensional space, spanned by the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the training images (i.e., coefficients of the linear expansion).Then we consider Linear Discrimination Analysis (LDA) to achieve a comparison result between these two methods of dimension reduction. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is then used to select a subset of features from the low-dimensional representation by removing certain eigenvectors that do not seem to encode important information about face. Finally, a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is trained to perform face classification using the selected eigen-feature subset. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in error rate reduction.","PeriodicalId":122255,"journal":{"name":"2009 6th International Symposium on Mechatronics and its Applications","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125432320","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 estimated value is different for each segment in frequency domain. Estimation depends on the degraded image only, without any prior knowledge about noise level in the degraded image. The second technique uses the above optimized Wiener filter iteratively to reduce the artifacts that normally appears in the restored image.

KMs are considered due to their ability to localize face image according to Region of Interest (ROI) unlike other moments which generally capture the global features. To obtain the global face image, both parameters of KMs are set equal at 0.5 while the parameters for local face image are set unequal. The selection of orders and parameters of KMs determines the ROI. The experiments carried out utilized the database face images from Olivetti research laboratory (ORL) consisting of 40 subjects of 10 non-similar images each [1]. Each face image differs in terms of position, rotation, scale and expression, with and without glasses. Euclidean square distance or Nearest Neighbour (NN) is used as the classifier in the recognition stage. From the experiments, the combined features of global and local faces images using KMs showed improved classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":122255,"journal":{"name":"2009 6th International Symposium on Mechatronics and its Applications","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134173789","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}

As the load and input wind power conditions are variable, the gain setting of SVC needs to be adjusted or tuned. In this paper, an ANN based approach has been used to tune the gain parameters of the SVC controller over a wide range of load characteristics. The multi-layer feed-forward ANN tool with the error back-propagation training method is employed. Loads have been taken as the function of voltage. Analytical techniques have mostly been based on impedance load reduced network models, which suffer from several disadvantages, including inadequate load representation and lack of structural integrity. The ability of ANNs to spontaneously learn from examples, reason over inexact and fuzzy data and provide adequate and quick responses to new information not previously stored in memory has generated high performance dynamical system with unprecedented robustness. ANNs models have been developed for different hybrid power system configurations for tuning the proportional-integral controller for SVC. Transient responses of different autonomous configurations show that SVC controller with its gained tuned by the ANNs provide optimum system performance for a variety of loads.","PeriodicalId":122255,"journal":{"name":"2009 6th International Symposium on Mechatronics and its Applications","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125919336","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 scope of this paper is limited to the controller part and therefore addresses the last two stages of the strategy. The implementation of the strategy was accomplished using HIL within a Simulink environment. Experimental results for different speed profiles are presented which show the validity of the proposed strategy. Advantages include optimizing time resources and minimizing the cost.

This can easily be seen in emerging countries growing rapidly. Single force control input applied to crane moves it to a desired position but also triggers undesired swing on the payload which makes it an interesting control problem for this underactuated system. Given an application and a work environment constraint the response time to the position error vs. the maximum allowable amplitude of the payload swing may vary. An intelligent control methodology has been given such an overhead crane system with an optimization parameter compromising between response rate and swing amplitude. The proposed controller does not rely on the knowledge of the crane dynamics making the solution applicable changing operation conditions, so it is a universal controller. Robust adaptive properties are established via a neural network based multi-loop controller architecture. Customization to fit two specific application requirements has been illustrated in the simulations. Stability proofs are given in the sense of Lyapunov. Simulation examples are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller that does not rely on prior knowledge of system dynamics.","PeriodicalId":122255,"journal":{"name":"2009 6th International Symposium on Mechatronics and its Applications","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123566111","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}
