The data can be composed of sensor data supplemented by a knowledge base of past problems. Difficulties arise when the data obtained from sensors is uncertain, imprecise, or appears to be contradictory. Further, the sensory data may conflict with potential diagnoses based upon past experiences. This research presents framework for system diagnosis using fuzzy linguistic variables represent sensory data and possible diagnoses based upon experience. A novel data fusion method for the fuzzy opinions is introduced. Additionally, the research develops an innovative procedure for ranking the fuzzy opinions to arrive at diagnosis. The technique first represents data in the form of fuzzy linguistic variables to accommodate diverse and conflicting data and opinions. The fuzzy representation accommodates the uncertainty and imprecision inherent in many sensors. Testing demonstrates that the framework provides accurate diagnosis of system faults.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131484045","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, and for that purpose, we propose a novel image watermarking and information hiding technique for recovery and authentication of hidden images against tampering by utilizing the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Arnold’s Transform. We show how the proposed technique (a) allows for relatively higher capacity capability in securely embedding not just a watermark image, for authentication purposes, but also a hidden secret image while preserving the transparency in the resulting “watermarked” carrier image (b) allows embedding of gray-scale images and is not limited to embedding binary ones (c) allows redundancy in the hidden information for better recovery in case of image tampering such as cropping, (d) allows for security in the hidden image information. The proposed technique utilizes all three RGB color channels of a carrier image for embedding information. This is to provide a high degree of redundancy for information recovery in case of unauthorized tampering attacks. Furthermore, correction matrices for hidden and/or watermark images are calculated and are also embedded in the carrier image. As we show, the proposed techniques provides tamper detection and recovery against unauthorized tampering such as image cropping, blurring, pixel tampering. We also show robustness of the proposed scheme to JPEG compression and encryption.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121278664","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}

Although the texture sensation makes persons perceive a virtual object to be a real one, research on texture sensation has not always progressed due to the difficulty of developing a stimulus presentation device. To compensate for this hardware problem, we focus on the Velvet Hand Illusion (VHI), which is one of the tactile illusion phenomena, as a method of presenting texture sensation. In our previous study, VHI was generated by a tactile display using a refreshable braille display (dot-matrix display). Since the dot-matrix display can provide various dot patterns through combinations of stimulus-pin protrusions, it can be applied to clarify the essential stimulus conditions for VHI through a series of psychophysical experiments. We expect to obtain the essential conditions for VHI, which will then become the fundamentals of the VHI model. In the psychophysical experiments, two parallel lines formed by the dot-matrix display were reciprocated on the subject's palm. First, we investigated the relationship between the interval of pins forming lines and the VHI strength. Second, we investigated the relationship between the length of two parallel lines and the strength of VHI. As a result, VHI hardly occurred when the interval between pins forming lines was more than a two-point threshold. Consequently, it was clarified that the sensation of touching a line is an essential condition for VHI and that line length of 29 mm is the absolute threshold of VHI.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126872105","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}

Recently, it started to be used as a visual feedback method for tongue articulation, thanks to its capacity of real-time visualization and video capture of underlying structures inside the mouth. When an Ultrasound transducer is placed along the mid-line under a chin, it shows the tongue motion in sagittal view while speaking. As it is still quite difficult to understand the structure in ultrasound images, we proposed a guided learning system for pronunciation by visualizing tongue articulation in Ultrasound image sequences. Video image registration technique has been employed to project sagittal section of tongue back to the corresponding position on the subject head. The proposed system targets speech therapy and foreign language pronunciation lessons. Two main technology components are (i) Ultrasound tongue image segmentation and tracking (ii) registration of Ultrasound image sequences on video of a subject during the speech. Our experiments on Chinese English learners revealed that the proposed system is capable of providing the beneficial improvement on English pronunciation.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114800961","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}

Only one brace was removed from the model of the house with 28 brace positions, and the damage position was assumed to be there. Vibration was applied to the model of the house, and the transferred vibration waveform was detected with a piezoelectric sensor. This vibration waveform was analyzed using a neural network. The classification on each side of the house succeeded after fixing the number of neurons in the hidden layer. After that, classification on the whole side of the house with 3-layer and 4-layer neural networks was conducted. The classification rate could be improved by changing the number of neurons in the hidden layer. As a result, the classification rate of the damage position of the entire house is 90.69%. Also, the classification rate is higher in the 4-layer neural network than in the 3-layer one.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116852262","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}

A reinforcement learning is applied in the form solutions to a set of modified coupled Bellman equations. The technique is implemented in a distributed fashion using the local neighborhood information without having a priori knowledge about the agents’ dynamics. This is accomplished by means of adaptive critics, where a multi-layer perceptron neural network is applied to approximate the online solution. To this end, a novel coupled Riccati equation is developed for the graphical game. The validity of the proposed online adaptive learning solution is tested using a graphical example, where follower agents learn to synchronize their behavior to follow a leader.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126731408","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}
