First the status of the different-past, current, and future- wireless PCS is reviewed and a brief description of the fading channels applicable to such systems is presented. The paper then classifies: (i) the various transmitter structures in terms of their modulation schemes; and (ii) their associate receiver structures in terms of the most important and generic techniques employed to mitigate the effects of the fading distortion. In doing so, the most important qualities, advantages and disadvantages of these generic transceiver structures are reviewed.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"255-262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75265824","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}

This paper describes an approach for classifying electromyographic (EMG) signals using a multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) and hidden Markov models (HMMs) hybrid classifier and force estimation. Instead of using MLPs as probability generators for HMMs the authors propose to use MLPs as the second classifiers to increase discrimination rates of myoelectric patterns. This strategy is proposed to overcome weak discrimination and to consider dynamic properties of EMG signals. Two discrimination strategies (HMM, and HMM with three subnet MLPs) for discriminating signals representative of 6 primitive class of motions are described and compared. The proposed strategy increase the discrimination results considerably. Results are presented to support this approach.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"59 5 1","pages":"365-368"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87725267","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 Photometric Stereo Method (PSM) is generally based on a direct light source. Our PSM is modified with diffuse illumination and then applied to a hybrid reflectance model which consists of two main components, Lambertian and specular reflectance. A sample sphere made of one material is used to estimate the reflectance properties by using the LMS algorithm. We make a reference table which consists of surface normal and brightness values using estimated reflectance parameters. The photometric matching method proposed is robust because it matches object images with the reference table considering the neighbor brightness distribution. The 3-D shape of an object can be recovered from pixel intensity distribution and a reference table. The algorithm should be applicable to vision inspection systems.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"520-523"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89278925","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}
