In our proposed scheme, we employ unconstrained iterative algorithm to obtain low-order model filter with high stopband attenuation, then exploits the FFT transform of model filter to get the discrete spectrum, and interpolates zeros at high-frequency position. Finally, the IFFT transform is performed to get the prototype filter which is suitable for near perfect reconstruction. Moreover, the afore mentioned approach use interpolation of FFT domain in combination with iterative optimizing, which avoids a large number of parameters to be optimized when the prototype filter is designed with a high stopband attenuation. Besides, the image spectrum is saved, which avoids the filter design of image suppressor, and results in the order reduction of the prototype filter and relieves the complexity of design. Simulation results reveal that our proposed method embraces favorable performance improvements compared with the conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130340263","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}

Firstly, contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is used to improve the contrast of the image and then anisotropic diffusion equation is applied to smooth the image for the central reflex of the vessel. Secondly, adaptive DoG (ADoG) with different scale factor σ is used to give the initial vessel segmentation result. Then, the refined vessel enhancement result is computed by the superposition of ADoG in twelve directions. At last, the non-vessel is removed based on the bimodality of histogram of the image after enhancement and smoothing. We evaluate experimental results on the public DRIVE and STARE datasets qualitatively and quantitatively, and demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134424591","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}

Besides delivering courseware on webpage, this system provides students with numerous online quizzes for enhancing their memory, understanding, and reaction about basic concepts in the mentioned course. We then designed an experiment and tested OTAS in the Spring semester of 2015 by a class of a hundred undergraduate students in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University. In this experiment, one third of the class composed the test group and the others the control group. The students in test group utilized OTAS for doing quizzes, while in the same period they were enrolled in the “offline” course delivered by the teacher in the classroom, and did homework and project in traditional way, which was exactly the same as those in the control group. After half semester a formal test was set to evaluate the level of knowledge that students learned from this course. Statistical analysis on the test output indicated that introducing online practicing for elementary concepts in Signals and Systems resulted in better academic performance and more positive attitudes toward the subject. Delivery of materials and exercises via OTAS, including from both computers and mobile devices, provides greater access and flexibility for students to practice what they have learnt. Based on this experiment, we claim that the developed OTAS significantly improves the quality of education offered to the students.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134525456","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 signals from only four channels (Fp1, Fp2, F3 and F4) we obtained, after balancing, accuracies of 98% (valence) and 99% (arousal) for subject dependent experiments with three classes, and 85% (valence) and 87% (arousal) for two-class classification. However, accuracies for subject independent experiments were lower than the ones obtained using imbalanced datasets. We obtained accuracies of 52% (valence) and of 49% (arousal) for two classes, and accuracies of 36% (valence) and of 31% (arousal) for three classes. To explain the low accuracies in subject independent experiments, we present arguments and empirical evidence using correlations between the percentage of samples for each class and the accuracies obtained by approaches which did not use balanced datasets.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115432170","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}

However, aliasing cannot be eliminated through direct interpolation on the decimated subsequence. By using a bank of multilevel filters, aliasing can be removed to obtain that nonuniform B-spline interpolation is carried out by uniform B-spline interpolation.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114385523","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}

In this paper, we propose a set of features to classify genres of music. The features proposed were obtained by a methodical selection of important features used in the literature of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and Music Emotion Recognition (MER). Besides, we propose a new music dataset called BMD (Brazilian Music Dataset)1, containing 120 songs labeled in 7 musical genres: FoFFó, Rock, Repente, MPB(Música Popular Brasileira — Brazilian Popular Music), Brega, Sertanejo and Disco. An important characteristic of this new dataset compared with others, is the presence of three popular genres in Brazil Northeast region: Repente, Brega and a characteristic genre similar to MPB, which we also call as MPB. We evaluated our proposed features on both datasets: GTZAN and BMD. The proposed approach achieved average accuracy (after 30 runs of 5-fold-cross-validations) of 79.7% for GTZAN and 86.11% for the BMD. Another important contribution of this work is random repetition of cross-validation executions. Most of the papers performs only a single n-fold cross-validation. We criticize that practice and propose, at least, 30 random executions to compute the average accuracy.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122021647","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}

However, the problem of the digital recognition is very challenging due to intra class variation of lip images, head pose variations, and uncontrolled illumination. This paper studies a deep learning architecture to model the appearance and the spatial-temporal information of lip texture. The lip texture in still image frames and the spatial-temporal relationship between these frames are jointly modeled by convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory. Two strategies are further exploited to find effective groups of ten digitals for training the deep models. As a result, more information can be utilized for accurate recognition based on lip texture analysis. Besides, two datasets of isolated digits in Chinese are established to simulate real-world liveness detection environments together with various attacks. Extensive experiments have been done to analyze the recognition accuracy of each digit and to provide some clues for determining appropriate digits for interactive liveness detection.","PeriodicalId":206199,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"78 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115043071","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}
