Visual marking of seizure onset in such EEG recordings is quite tedious, naturally subjective, extremely time consuming, and it may lead to inaccurate detection. Thus, the development of a robust framework for automatic seizure classification is necessary and can be very useful in epilepsy investigation. In this paper, a classical method has been improved. Our contribution includes the use of linear and non linear features which have been incorporated into the Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. Accordingly, the detection performance has been compared using both radial basis functions (RBF) and linear SVM kernels. Our main finding reveals that the system can correctly classify the EEG data with an average sensitivity of 99.68%, an average specificity of 99.81% and an average accuracy of 99.75%, while 100% of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy are also achieved in single-trial classification. A final comparison between the performance levels obtained with our method and those obtained with previous techniques is undertaken to prove the effectiveness of our method for seizure detection.","PeriodicalId":283737,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Image Processing, Applications and Systems (IPAS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131925353","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 drowsiness represents one among the causes of the road accidents. The accidents related to the drowsiness often occur on the highways, but also on the main roads, even inside the localities. Today, it is possible to detect the state of tiredness of the driver with the development of the technology of the computer vision. The results of research in physiology show that the first level of lack of vigilance appears by an increase in the frequency of the yawn. In this work, we propose a novel approach for yawning detection for monitoring driver fatigue. In fact, our approach rests on the study of the spatio-temporal descriptors of a nonstationary and non-linear signal. This approach is evaluated by both YawDD [1] and our MiraclHB [2] databases.

It aims identifying humans by analyzing their walk. It has different advantage comparing to others biometrics technologies such as face recognition, iris recognition and fingerprint. It can be performed at distance and without subject cooperation. Also, it doesn't need high resolution of image. In this paper, we present a new discriminative method for gait recognition using hybrid conditional random fields (CRF). We use a Hidden CRF model to combine two classifiers; a spatial classifier which assigns a label to a local feature (SURF descriptors) and temporal classifier which uses a motion History Image (MHI). The proposed framework, firstly extracts the human silhouette. Secondly, it takes out spatial and temporal cues from each frame. Then, it applies the MLP classification to the two set of features to obtain the Hidden CRF input; the final step is recognizing person with HCRF.

This technique, called the Discriminative Completed Local Binary Pattern (DisCLBP), extracts texture characteristics of breast tissue in order to characterize the severity of microcalcifications. Classification of these structures is accomplished through Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which separate them in two groups: malignant and benign microcalcifications.

In addition, the robustness of these methods for degraded documents has been proven. For these purposes, the texture is explored in the analysis for our image type, using a fuzzy classification. The Fisher score determinate the most discriminative texture features for our segmentation: mean and variance.

Maximizing the signal power under the FCC constraints: get a PSD (Power Spectral Density) as close to the barrier −41.3 dB as possible in the frequency domain. The method of random variables can be used to determine the optimal characteristics of the signal. We will also impose 0,025 as a maximum ratio between the center frequency and the PRI to avoid overlap between pulses. This signal is used to be sent to the human body in order to detect heart beats. To see the waveform near the heart : Firstly, we modeled the human body as the consisting of four semi-infinite layers. These layers are characterized by their dielectric relative constant, thickness and electrical conductivity.
