PCA-based approaches improve the image quality by adding high-frequency components extracted using PCA to the blurred image. The PCA-based restoration process is similar with conventional single-frame Super-Resolution (SR) methods, which perform SR process by improving the edges portion of low-resolution images. This paper aims to introduce PCA-based restoration to solve SR problem with additive white Gaussian noise. We conducted experiments using standard image database and show comparative result with the latest deep-learning SR approach.","PeriodicalId":314829,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131868435","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}

This had made it getting increased market's interest in recent years. Commonly, closed circuit television (CCTV) is used for security surveillance. However, CCTVs are purely vision output. These silent videos may not provide complete picture of the happening. Sound detection is incorporate into vision surveillance for enhancement. Sound detection is able to detect abnormal sound although happen at camera blind spots or due to intentional blocking. In this paper, we propose to use microcontroller embedded system to enhance current CCTV system. Proposed abnormal sound embedded system is to carry out the sound detection, audio processing and analysis. This study is using only single microphone for sound detection. Audio amplitude and frequency range are targeted feature extracted from Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Abnormal sound of human screaming and glass breaking were classified using decision tree. From experiment, proposed abnormal sound analytical surveillance system test yield average of 88% accuracy detection. We can consider our work is simple and cost effective for field implementation.","PeriodicalId":314829,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115449330","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 idea is based on using predefined binary templates of the structures to be located in the image. The template is matched to contours in a given edge image to locate the designated entity. These templates are allowed to deform in order to deal with variations in the structure's shape and size. Deformation is achieved by dividing the template into segments. The dynamic programming search algorithm is used to accomplish the matching process, achieving very robust results in cluttered and noisy scenes in the applications presented.","PeriodicalId":314829,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116765537","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 a previous work, a functioning prototype of the three-fingered robot hand has been successfully developed. However, the performance of the robot hand for grasping was insufficient. Therefore, the improved design fingertip was developed to enhance the existing design by incorporating force sensing ability for better grasping task. Two miniature load cells button were fitted into the fingertip to enable force sensing in two individual directions namely x-axis and z-axis. The calibration is implemented in both axes. The calibration results proved that the linearity calibration is relevant to be used as the reference force for force control development in the next phase.","PeriodicalId":314829,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116850123","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}

OMP follows the projection procedure to identify the indices of the support of the sparse solution vector. This paper shows that the least-squares (LS) procedure can perform better than the projection procedure in this regard. Consequently, a dummy algorithm called OMP-LS is constructed by replacing the projection step in the OMP algorithm by the proposed least-squares step. Simulations show that the proposed LS procedure has a great impact on improving the performance of the OMP algorithm. The structure of the OMP-LS is then modified by incorporating a backtracking step, which has the impact of correcting erroneously estimated indices. Therefore, the modified algorithm is referred to as OMP with correction (OMPc). The simulation results show that OMPc outperforms all the considered algorithms in most scenarios.","PeriodicalId":314829,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129651894","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}

And sparse coefficients are obtained by Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Then we use those coefficients as features to train Support Vector Machine (SVM) model and test the classifier accuracy based on the trained model. Finally, we present the experimental results of this approach and compare the results with the conventional features consisting of Short-Time, Pitch, Formant, and Duration based on corpus of Soochow University Speech Processing Researches-Deception Speech Detection Corpus (SUSP-DSD).
