The measurement is done based in Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) power using XBEE S2 wireless module connected to a gateway. The RSSI measurement is used to indicate the profile of signal propagating alongside a fixed path within a fixed environmental surrounding such as furniture, equipment, and number of people inside the room. From this experiment, a map of the indoor office was created with precise measurements to allow for a greater analysis of the signal propagation given that the furniture and number of people are fixed. The purpose is to analyze and evaluate the signal propagation properties for optimization of nodes placements and application in future in regards of a wireless asset tracking system. The results show that through careful analyzation and investigation, of the signal propagation using XBee S2, an optimized location for nodes placement in an indoor environment can be determined in order to allow greater efficiency and accuracy in an indoor localization system.","PeriodicalId":185167,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computational Approach in Smart Systems Design and Applications (ICASSDA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131138847","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 aim of this study is to compare the performances of different distance metrics apply on the classification of emotional electroencephalogram (EEG) between stroke and normal people. The Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) feature was extracted from the EEG signal of both classes and KNN was applied with different distance metrics for comparison. The results showed that the City Block distance metric performs the best among all. Moreover, the lower values of nearest neighbor were required to provide high classification result.

In this paper, polarized light is used to identify genuine human user from black ethnical skin color. Printed photos are used as spoofing attacks. Then, the Stokes parameters are applied to generate ISDOLPimage for each genuine face and printed photo. Visually, the ISDOLPof genuine black users seem brighter than the other skin colors. The mean intensity has erroneously classified all the ISDOLPimages of black skins as photo faces. Coarsely comparing ISDOLP histograms of black skin and printed photos shows that data distributions between the black skin and printed photo are relatively similar. The bimodality coefficient (BC) algorithm is then applied to study the distributions modality. Surprisingly, the BC has been able to identify these genuine black skin group well, but fails to other ethnical groups. A newly proposed fusion formula which is named as the Mean_BC (MBC) has achieved higher detection accuracy rate and can be a robust face spoofing detection measure for polarized database consists of various ethnical groups.","PeriodicalId":185167,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computational Approach in Smart Systems Design and Applications (ICASSDA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128519584","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}
