However, only one of them is fed whereas the other (one or two) is used as a parasitic element. The design of the basic structure and the antenna arrays as well as the simulation results in terms of impedance mismatch and radiation patterns are reported and discussed.","PeriodicalId":250315,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th International Conference on Advanced Systems and Emergent Technologies (IC_ASET)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128885436","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 number of depression cases increases annually in a continuous way. Due to the complexity of traditional techniques based on clinical diagnosis, there is a need for an automatic detection system of the depression. In this paper we present a novel audio-based approach to automatically detect depression using hybrid model. This model combines convolutional neural networks (CNN) and support vector machines (SVM), where SVM takes the place of the fully connected layers in CNN. In this proposed model, the features are automatically extracted using CNN and the classification is done using the SVM classifier. This approach was evaluated using DAIC-WOZ dataset provided by AVEC 2016 depression analysis sub-challenge. Experimental results showed that our hybrid model achieved an accuracy of 68% which outperform the CNN model (58.57%). Compared to the previous audio-based works using the same DAIC-WOZ dataset, our work showed a significant improvement in terms of accuracy, precision and recall.","PeriodicalId":250315,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th International Conference on Advanced Systems and Emergent Technologies (IC_ASET)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133264101","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}

Existing mathematical models including compartmental models such as SEIR, SIR, SIRQ and statistical models such as ARIMA, ARMA often fail to capture the dynamic of the propagation of an epidemic. Recently, artificial intelligence-based models have proven their effectiveness and accuracy in classification and prediction tasks.

Tracking of smoke and fire in video sequences can provide helpful regional measures to evaluate precisely damages caused by fires. In security and surveillance applications, real-time video segmentation of both fire and smoke regions represents a crucial operation to avoid disaster. In this work, we propose a robust tracking method for fire regions using an artificial neural network (ANN) based approach combined with a hybrid geometric active contour (GAC) model based on Bayes error energy functional for forest wildfire videos. Firstly, an estimation function is built with local and global information collected from three color spaces (RGB, HIS and YCbCr) using Fisher's Linear Discriminant analysis (FLDA) and a trained ANN in order to get a preliminary fire pixel classification in each frame. This function is used to compute initial curves and the level set evolution parameters to control the active contour model providing a refined fire segmentation in each processed frame. The experimental results of the proposed tracking scheme proves its precision and robustness when tested on different varieties of scenarios whether wildfire-smoke video or outdoor fire sequences.","PeriodicalId":250315,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th International Conference on Advanced Systems and Emergent Technologies (IC_ASET)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133778407","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}

Therefore, a common cause of leg pain and lower back is a lumbar disc herniation. Herniated lumbar disc represents a displacement of disc material (annulus fibrosis or nucleus pulpous). In most cases, the pain goes away within days to weeks; however, it can last for three months or more. Segmentation and Detection are the two most important tasks in computer aided diagnosis system (CAD) [24]. Extraction of herniated lumbar disc from magnetic (MRI) resonance imaging is a difficult task for radiologist. Detection of herniated disc was achieved by different methods such as region growing, active contours, watershed technique and thresholding. In our case, to detect intervertebral disc from lumbar MRI we developed an approach using convolutional neural networks in order to find the type of herniated lumbar disc [24] such as median, foraminal or post lateral [24]. We proposed to explore the importance of axial view MRI to find the type of herniation. Previous works were concentrated only on the sagittal View. The main objective of this paper is to automatically detect the intervertebral disc in magnetic resonance images(MRI) with bounding boxes and their classes which can facilitate diagnoses based on axial view MRI [40]. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assist detection using lumbar axial view MRI. A novel method is proposed in this paper based on deep convolutional neural networks. This study introduces the application of the convolutional neural network model. A framework was developed that enables the application of shape priors in the healthy part of intervertebral disc anatomy, with user intervention when the priors were inapplicable.","PeriodicalId":250315,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th International Conference on Advanced Systems and Emergent Technologies (IC_ASET)","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132593239","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}

[2] [1] The term calibration is commonly used for the calibration of vector network analyzers (VNA) since it is impossible to directly measure the Sij parameters of any device. It is the role of the calibration to remove the parasitic contributions in order to keep only the contribution of the device under test (DUT). All the existing calibration methods therefore aim to determine the terms of systematic errors by given the matrix and complex nature of the measurand, the frequency range of various known standards. Indeed, the calibration then allows resetting the response of the instrument to a true predicted value calculated from the measured raw value. This correction made to the meter can then be seen as an improvement in its accuracy. So, the calibration of VNA insures the Traceability to SI for the reflection parameter. The topic of this paper is to present a method of calibration of VNA SOLT in order to quantify the terms of errors systematic and characterize the DUT by the resulting curves of the reflection and transmission factors of the DUT for a frequency range from 50 MHz to 20GHz, [2].","PeriodicalId":250315,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th International Conference on Advanced Systems and Emergent Technologies (IC_ASET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125726199","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}
