Based on the dynamic model of the force sensor, the simulations on the correlation wavelet method for extracting the IRF of wrist force sensor in two dynamic environments are presented. The simulation results show that the correlation wavelet method exhibits obvious advantages compared with the traditional FFT method, and the accuracy of the results is greatly improved. A test with cantilever under step excitation is carried out, the results obtained by using CWT method show that the method is effective and accurate. The way for generating step excitation automatically in robotic use is proposed for on-line dynamic characteristic analysis and measurement of dynamic performance index of robot wrist sensor. An example is given to illustrate the feature of the method. The method developed in the paper provides a new and effective way to measure the dynamic performance index of robot wrist force sensor, as well as other sensors.","PeriodicalId":136611,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Information Acquisition","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128035877","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}

While frequency responses are easy to measure especially in online damage detection applications, most of the associated detection methods are deterministic in nature and cannot deal with uncertainties and noise which are inevitable under practical situations. To tackle this issue and to develop a robust damage detection protocol, here we develop a feature extraction/de-noising methodology based on principal component analysis (PCA). The basic idea is to first establish a feature space of the intact structure response by using multiple measurements. Abnormal signature that is different from the baseline signature can then be identified and magnified after signal reconstruction using the intact structure features. Essentially, the directionality between an inspected signal and the baseline signal in the feature space is used as index of damage occurrence. A series of numerical analyses are performed to characterize the detection system sensitivity and robustness.","PeriodicalId":136611,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Information Acquisition","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129284620","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 clusters appear as groups of small, bright particles with arbitrary shapes. Detecting micro-calcifications is difficult because they are embedded in a non-homogeneous background. Many missed radiology diagnoses can be attributed to human factors such as the use of subjective criteria or variable criteria in decision making, distraction by other image features, the large number of images to be inspected, or just simple oversight. Consequently there are very good reasons for pursuing reliable and effective methods for micro-calcifications detection. While many methods for micro-calcification segmentation have been developed in the past ten years, they either require manual threshold adjustments or depend on local statistics to compute those thresholds. This paper presents a new fully automated, parameter-free, and local statistics independent, algorithm for micro-calcification segmentation in mammography X-ray images.","PeriodicalId":136611,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Information Acquisition","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115366642","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}
