A branch of VLC is represented by optical camera communications (OCC), where a video camera is the receiver, which, unlike a fast sampled light sensor, is available on any smartphone. Because of the operating system, there could be a variation in the framerate of video smartphone cameras while recording. This paper presents first stage simulations of such an indoor navigation system based on OCC, coupling together LED lights as sources with widely available modern smartphone cameras as receivers. The proposed experiments investigate the influences of camera framerate variation from the nominal value on the decoding performances of our OCC system and show that it can be used in real world conditions.","PeriodicalId":243595,"journal":{"name":"2021 44th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131635333","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, Speed-Up Robust Features (SURF) keypoints are utilized to label whether the suspicious input image is original or forged. With the presence of a sufficient number of the most similar keypoint matches, the image is labeled as forged and the location stage of the forged region is started. In determining the boundaries of the forged region, the blocks received around the matched keypoints are considered seed forged blocks. 8 overlapping neighboring blocks of these blocks in the target and source regions are labeled as candidate blocks. If the candidate blocks corresponding to each other meet the similarity requirement, they are labeled as forged blocks and the candidate block label is removed. The location phase is completed by evaluating the candidate blocks located in the neighborhood of all forged blocks. The high performance of the method has been proved in the freely available GRIP dataset with the experiments.","PeriodicalId":243595,"journal":{"name":"2021 44th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115617970","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 an approach that relies on EEG signal to deal with the issue of mind-wandering recognition as a classification challenge. Our model extracts the most important features of EEG data using a signal clipping and autocorrelation techniques then uses a deep neural network (DNN) to classify brain signal into high-level or low-level of wandering. The experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the DNN model in detecting wandering episodes by achieving 73.5% accuracy which is 8.35% better than the best conventional neural network configuration.","PeriodicalId":243595,"journal":{"name":"2021 44th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132290947","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}

Two of the major problems in PdM used at large industrial sites are: (i) the prediction of remaining useful life (RUL); (ii) the prediction of the likelihood of failing within a predefined time period. While data oriented maintenance predictions were heavily focused on using classical techniques for such problems, recent interest shifted towards utilizing AI based solutions due to the better generalization capabilities of deep solutions. Among the time-sequence based deep networks, RNN, GRU and LSTM based networks are the most frequently used solutions. GRUs have demonstrated their faster learning capabilities with near or better prediction performance on certain tasks already. However, predicting multiple PdM tasks including both RUL and failure detection, simultaneously within the same network in an end to end manner with GRUs has not been much studied in the literature before. In this paper, we introduce a solution to predict those two tasks simultaneously within the same network based on GRUs. In our experiments we compare the performance of GRU layers to LSTM and RNN layers and report their performance on NASA dataset.","PeriodicalId":243595,"journal":{"name":"2021 44th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114463597","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}
