Unlike similar systems which are limited to detecting upright, frontal faces, this system detects faces at any degree of rotation in the image plane. The system employs multiple networks; the first is an orientation network which processes each input window to determine its orientation and then uses this information to prepare the window for identifier network. We present the training methods for both types of networks. We also perform analysis on the networks, and present empirical results on a large test set. Finally, we recognize the face using Principal Component Analysis approach.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87338887","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 research reports the use of fractal dimension, a fractal complexity measure in physiological signals and also reports identification of a new feature of sEMG, maximum fractal length (MFL), as a better measure of small or low level changes in the human activity. The authors propose that FD is a useful indicator of the complexity in signals and MFL is a useful indicator of the level of activity, and the combination of these is suitable for identifying actions and gestures corresponding to low-level muscle contraction using surface EMG signal and using EEG to estimate operatorpsilas global level of alertness. The results indicate that MFL is correlated with the fluctuations of the userpsilas task performance and putative level.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91110300","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}

There are number of issues associated with such approach e.g. what will be per-flow guarantee, which flows are to be aggregated together, how to determine service order among multiple classes and within a class etc. DiffServ model is a framework wherein class based QoS support is provided. In this paper we propose an algorithm for intra-class scheduling (including a small modification in buffer management) when number of flows are aggregated within a single class. The algorithm proposed, dynamically selects a disjoint subset of flows to form a class (subgroup) and aggregation mechanisim allows us to define QoS requirement of the subgroup with the use of {Max, Min} operation. We show that the algorithm performs substantially better even under heavy network condition.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72687308","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}

Nucleotides in exons of a DNA sequence show f = 1/3 periodicity. The period-3 property in exons of eukaryotic gene sequences enables signal processing based time-domain and frequency-domain methods to predict these regions. Identification of the period-3 regions helps in predicting the gene locations within the billions long DNA sequence of eukaryotic cells. Existing non-parametric filtering techniques are less effective in detecting small exons. This paper presents a harmonic suppression filter and parametric minimum variance spectrum estimation technique for gene prediction. We show that both the filtering techniques are able to detect smaller exon regions and adaptive MV filter minimizes the power in introns (non-coding regions) giving more suppression to the intron regions. Furthermore, 2-simplex mapping is used to reduce the computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74175565","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 addition, many noise and interferences, including multiple access interference (MAI), optical beating interference (OBI), and receiverpsilas noise are included in the analysis. Besides, we propose to use the heterodyne detection receiver so that the receiverpsilas sensitivity can be improved. Analytical results show that, under the impact of GVD, the number of supportable users is extremely decreased and the maximum transmission length is remarkably shortened when the normal single mode fiber is used. The main factor that limits the system performance is time skewing. In addition, we show how the impact of GVD is relieved by dispersion-shifted fiber. For example, a system with 32 times 1 Gbit/s users can achieve a maximum transmission length of 111 km when transmitted optical power per bit is -5 dBm.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74373517","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 market for real power is gaining more interest of investors while the market for reactive power has less incentive due to its technical limitation. But reactive power is of importance for system security and improving the line transmission capacity. The system operator is therefore willing to buy reactive power from different sources to ensure the necessary potential at each node of the system. The paper discusses an approach for market for reactive power in reactive power control groups using the concept of electrical distances. The approach does not involve any optimal power flow (OPF) algorithm for avoiding the complexity and non-convergence for large systems but discusses a simple and economical market provision for reactive power.

The performance of the band controller is improved using a novel filter structure. Quantitative expressions involving the dynamics of DVR and variation in switching frequency are also derived. The passive filter components are designed based on switching frequency and inverter rating.

They potentially have less resources than fixed networks. Applications like video-on-demand, video conferencing, demand multicasting in MANETs. For such applications, more criterion are required in order to capture the quality of the links between the nodes. Proposed QoS aware multicast routing scheme ensures QoS guarantees (bandwidth reservation, delay constrain and packet loss) to multicast session. The scheme operates in the following sequence: 1) Determine the mobility factor of each node participating in the multicast routing, 2) Clustering of nodes and then select QoS aware cluster heads based on the mobility factor of nodes, 3) Identify the intermediate node, 4) Join multicast group members to the backbone, 5) Set up a QoS aware path for the required multicast route. The scheme has been simulated in various network scenarios to test operation effectiveness in terms of performance parameters such as cluster formation time, number of QoS aware cluster heads, network reconfiguration time. We observed from the simulation that the proposed scheme effectively reduces the network overhead and takes care of the connectivity breakages due to mobility of nodes and the node failures.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":"200 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76974840","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}
