In doing so, the positional and size-based information of a region along with its alignment property is applied. To showcase the effectiveness of this method, the output of the segmentation system BINYAS is provided both with and without the present text region classification module for some sample document images taken from RDCL 2017 dataset.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125928914","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 presence of these EMG antiquities covers the necessary information in an EEG signal. In this paper, we have proposed another strategy named as Multi-channel Singular Spectrum Analysis (MSSA) in light of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to expel muscle or EMG antiquities from multi-channel EEG signals. At first, the orthogonal eigenvectors of multi-channel data are estimated by performing SVD which are acquired from the covariance matrix. Since the frequency variations of eigenvectors related to EEG signal are quite low when compared to the EMG signal, so we fix some peak frequency threshold to find out the frequencies related to EEG signal, then the frequencies related to EMG signals are suppressed and the artifact free Multi-channel EEG signal is extracted. Finally, our proposed technique is applied on a noisy sinusoidal signals to test the performance of the proposed method and then it is applied on synthetic EEG signals mixed with the EMG artifacts. Simulation results are then compared with Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) to show that the proposed method eliminates EMG antiquities more adequately without amending the required data.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115302504","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}

Our statistical analysis revealed that the N-S asymmetry is a real phenomenon and that the solar cycle 24 shows southern predominance which is similar to the past solar cycle 21, 22 and 23. Hence a long-term periodic behavior could be inferred. The E-W asymmetry for the considered is found to be slight western dominated but the associated probability values indicates a statistically insignificant result.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114801933","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}

Hence, it is very difficult to determine the appropriateness of image enhancement techniques including edge detection operators prior to an application. This paper makes use of regression models to determine the suitability of edge detection operators before operators to be executed. With the existing operators, a novel Hybrid technique is used in the evaluation. The Hybrid detector is designed by combining Canny and Sobel operators with the gradient of texton image. This approach estimates a model as an objective function to determine the degree of proximity or suitability of edge detection operators under regression constraints on two publicly available databases, viz. the BSDS300 and the Multi-cue. The experimental results exhibit that the Hybrid edge detector outperforms other operators for measuring the proximity for appropriateness.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114099283","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}

Survivors often tend to suffer from hemiplegia or related conditions, in which some portion of their body may be rendered useless. The wrist is one such part. But this injury can be recovered by conventional rehabilitation processes like physical therapy. In this paper, a device for robot-assisted physical therapy is presented for wrist rehabilitation. It can overcome the lack of availability of physical therapists and reduce the cost incurred in long-term therapy. Also, it can provide accurate regular exercises without missing any step even in the absence of the therapist. These two DOF robotic devices can learn the physical exercise (i.e. wrist-based movements) from the trained therapist through an electronic smart-band. It can also replicate these exercises when the patient wears this device over his/her wrist. Here, an accelerometer sensor and a magnetometer sensor-based smart-band are used for recognizing the wrist motions like flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. The objective of this preliminary work is to drive accurately all the motor actuators which are attached to the robot and calibrate the feedback sensor to reflect the movement of the smart-band. In the future, this robot can be used as a teleoperated rehabilitation device through an IoT platform.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123735241","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}

Using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) vehicular nodes can forward packet in more educated manner and use of ACK packets reduce redundant packet transmission.
