Till now, physicians use subjective scores for measuring pain of any individual and doctors need to completely depend on patient's response for assessment of pain. Although, these methods are not always effective in the medical field, when the subjects are non-cooperative or unable to response. Hence, subject's response independent pain recognition systems are utmost important. Noxious stimulus excites Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), which is related to changes in neuro-somatic biosignals and facial expression. In this present work, EMG of corrugator muscle which is pertaining to pain sensitiveness is analyzed. Considering non-linear & non-stationary nature of the EMG signal stimulated through pain, Empirical Mode Decomposition technique is applied on EMG for its data adaptive nature. Taguchi Method of feature optimization is applied onthe IMFs for ranking of features according to their significance. Classification of different nociception levels with ‘no pain' was performed employing linear SVM algorithm, using all extracted features as well as the most significant features. Appreciable increase in classification accuracy is noticed with optimized set of features.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"31 Spec No 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":"116337121","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}

Multiple tracking frameworks have been proposed in the past, and still attracting many researchers due to its high applicability in various fields. Major challenges in object tracking are because of constraints like illumination, occlusions, changing background, etc. This work proposes a modified Particle Filtering framework that is robust to partial and complete occlusions. In achieving so, this work suggests the use of a forward prediction filter that is fused with the proposed framework. It works irrespective of the measurement model. Also, our proposed work proposes an Uncertainty Factor for every prediction that controls the amount of uncertainty during particle update and adjusts the search area accordingly. This Uncertainty Factor also acts as a measure of tracking performance. Extensive experiments prove the better performance of the proposed work in comparison with the existing ones in presence of occlusion.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"4 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":"125405017","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}

Despite the poor spatial resolution, this tool provides a very high temporal resolution. With the use of a large number of channels, it is necessary to select the relevant features in EEG analysis. Hence, this research paper aims to identify the features that are capable of differentiating an attention-demanding task- induced brain activity from the resting state condition. Eleven different features including mean, root mean square, band power, skewness, mode, data range, interquartile range (IQR) and three Hjorth parameters are extracted from alpha, beta and gamma frequency bands of EEG. Each feature is tested using the statistical tool called paired t-test. Results demonstrate the importance of feature selection step for the recognition process. Hjorth parameters have shown significant statistical difference (p<0.05) between the datasets of attention task and resting-state and thus, can be a biomarker in this particular case.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"44 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":"125488649","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}

We use this measure as an additional membership function and named as fuzzy likeliness measures. We integrate these two fuzzy membership functions into a objective function by means of a regularizing parameter. Further, we introduce a fuzzy entropy using the fuzzifier weighted fuzzy likeliness measures to define the information uncertainty associated with a voxel in order to finding its cluster. By integrating weighted fuzzy membership function and fuzzy likeliness measure we generate the final membership function.

Although many algorithms have been explored in the literature for this specific task, the goal of getting accurate results from commodity sensors remains a challenge. As autonomous vehicles make the transition from expensive prototypes to production items, the need for inexpensive, yet reliable solutions is increasing rapidly. This article considers scenarios where images are captured with inexpensive cameras and localization takes place using pre-loaded fine maps of local roads as side information. The techniques proposed herein extend schemes based on normalized mutual information by leveraging the likelihood of shades rather than exact sensor readings for localization in noisy environments. This algorithmic enhancement, rooted in statistical signal processing, offers substantial gains in performance. Numerical simulations are used to highlight the benefits of the proposed techniques in representative application scenarios. Analysis of a Ford image set is performed to validate the core findings of this work.","PeriodicalId":193814,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Applied Signal Processing Conference (ASPCON)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116831432","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}
