After specialized data preprocessing. By combining RFE and SVM, a novel feature selection method SVM-RFE is introduced. Then integrating this feature selection method and SVM modeling method, a special modeling framework is built. According to the experiments, the priority of this method is established not only on algorithm efficiency but also on predicting precision.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117194255","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}

We propose the hybrid segmentation algorithm that is based on a combination of the Belief Propagation and Mean Shift algorithms with aim to refine the depth map by using a stereo pair of images. Firstly, a color based segmentation method is applied for segmenting the left image of the input stereo pair (reference image) into regions. The aim of the segmentation is to simplify representation of the image into the form that is easier to analyze and is able to locate objects in images. Secondly, results of the segmentation are used as an input of the local window-based matching method to determine the disparity estimate of each image pixel. The obtained experimental results demonstrate that the final depth map can be obtained by application of segment disparities to the original images.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122064956","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}

Split-step Fourier model for nonlinear Schrodinger equation was used for this purpose. Results clearly show that in the presence of fiber nonlinearity, by increasing the steepness parameter, initially the un-chirped pulse first undergoes compression and then it goes on broadening with the propagated distance. Results also show that for higher value of steepness parameter, if the value of initial chirp goes on decreasing, peak power also increase showing the compression of the pulse and then it decreases with the propagated distance in dispersion dominant regime. The inclusion of self-phase modulation further enhances these results. These investigations provide a deeper insight for the fiber response to such type of optical pulses.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115153781","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 paper introduces a gait authentication method, a kind of biometric authentication, based on wearable sensors. Gait movement is both unique and unavoidable in everyday life. The pattern of acceleration values created by walking differs from one person to another. Therefore, we expect various new services can be created based on the gait data obtained by wearable sensors on a daily basis. We capture gait data from a wearable sensor and analyze personal gait characteristics on the basis of the data obtained. Each subject placed a wearable sensor on the ankle of the right foot. We propose and evaluate an authentication algorithm. The authentication algorithm must converge on the attributes that allow for reliable discrimination. Therefore, our authentication algorithm uses the traveling acceleration at the swing phase.
