We present here a fingerprint matching scheme based on transform features and their comparison. The technique described here obviates the need for extracting minutiae points to match fingerprint images. The proposed scheme uses Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to create feature vector for fingerprints. After finding out the core point, fingerprint image of size 64times64 is cropped around the core point. The transform is applied on the cropped image without any pre-processing. The transform coefficients are arranged in specific manner and are used to obtain the feature vector in terms of standard deviation. The fingerprint matching is based on the minimum Euclidean distance between two feature vectors. Here database is formed by capturing 8 images per person using 500 dpi optical scanner. Training images used to form feature vector are 2, 4 or 6 per person. In the matching phase either all or remaining images are checked in identification mode to find out the percentage recognition rate. Comparison for all the three transform is presented here and it is observed that DCT and DFT gives better result as compared DWT.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89280810","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 fuzzy logic model reference adaptive control maintains satisfactory response irrespective of the magnitude of the inputs. It enhances the performance of the DC drive compared to conventional MRAC. The performance of the drive system, thus obtained, is forming a set of test conditions with model reference fuzzy adaptive control. The performance of the drive is tested for load disturbances along with reference model. This work also compares the performance of Model Reference Fuzzy Adaptive scheme over conventional MRAC.

The multiobjective technique is first used to produce a set of non-dominated solutions. The non-dominated set is then used to find some high-confidence points using a fuzzy voting technique. The SVM classifier is trained by this high-confidence points. Finally the remaining points are classified using the trained classifier. Results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed technique are provided for three real life gene expression data sets.

There has been reports in the open literature regarding the performance of both LDA and PCA as feature extractors in various types of classification and recognition problems. Many of the reports claim a better performance with LDA than with PCA. However, the grounds of comparison have mostly been quite narrow. In the current paper PCA and LDA based classifiers are evaluated for the problem of synthetic aperture radar based automatic target recognition problem. The results show that in terms of absolute performance, PCA outperforms LDA. Results of PCA based classifier are also found to be of higher confidence than those from LDA based classifiers, as observed from the error-bar analysis of the classifiers.With decreased amount of training dataset, the degradation in the performance of the classifiers are almost similar in nature. The current work concludes that LDA is not suitable for radar image based target recognition task. This is in line with reports from some works in the open literature which claim that the success of LDA will depend on the type of data and whether there is exhaustive data available during the training phase or not.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89944257","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}

Hierarchical soft decision tree (post classifier with max-min criteria) four types are applied on the classified data to identify the optimized risk level (singleton) which characterizes the patientpsilas risk level. The efficacy of the above methods is compared based on the bench mark parameters such as performance index (PI), and quality value (QV).

Information hiding is used to conceal the content of messages. This is achieved by hiding secret message into other digital media like audio, images, video etc. For hiding secret message information in images, there exists a large variety of techniques, of which most techniques cause distortions in the original image even after secret message recovery, either due to bit-replacement or quantization error or truncation. It is especially important for medical and military applications that the image obtained after data extraction should be distortion free. Reversible data-hiding is the technique which embeds data in to a digital media such that the original media can be recovered without any distortion after the hidden message has been extracted. In this paper we propose a lossless method which embeds and extracts the data in the spatial domain. This method uses only one statistic parameter which controls the embedding and extraction of data. Two methods with different block orientations have been proposed. The novel method allows for an increase of 41.57% in average embedding efficiency when compared to existing methods, while maintaining the cover image degradation (PSNR - peak signal to noise ratio) at a comparable level. We also suggest a multi-layered embedding for increasing embedding capacity further.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88979852","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 EMD decomposes a COP signal into a finite set of band-limited signals termed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), before FB expansion is applied on each IMF to compute mean frequency. The FB expansion based representation is suitable for use in non-stationary and very short duration signals. Seventeen subjects were tested under eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions, with different vibration frequencies applied for EC condition to further perturb sensory information.

The power industry presently uses composite load models in typical stability programs (e.g. LOADSYN and PSS/E). However, the parameters of the composite load models need to be tuned for each type of disturbance based on an assumed load composition, and are often inadequate for matching the modeled dynamics of the power system disturbance event to actual measured results. A stochastic time series technique in the form of an ARMAX mathematical model is presented in this paper as a novel alternative for dynamic load modeling. The model parameters are estimated using on-line measurement data for a number of disturbance events, collected from five substations in the Victorian electricity network in Australia. The performance of the model is then evaluated for other transient events, and compared against the recorded response for these events. The results achieved show that this heuristic-based model is robust and effective in predicting the dynamic response of a power system load across a range of events spanning various seasons and locations.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76462983","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}
