A MATLAB toolbox is used to design the fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The DC motor was modeled, converted to a subsystem in Simulink and then the MATLAB toolbox is used to design the FLC. The methodology composed of the designing and also the simulation of DC motor with a fuzzy logic controller and optimization of the difference algorithm will be used as a benchmark for the performance of the fuzzy system. The results obtained from the Simulink scope are compared with the different algorithm used for the dynamic response of the closed-loop system and also the system with and without a controller will be compared. Parameters such as the rise and settling time in seconds and maximum overshoot in percent will be part of the simulation result. The overall performance shows that a system with MABSA-FLC performs well compared to the system with FLC and PSO-FLC.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"50 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132625030","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 advantages and limitation of each study by previous researchers are discussed in detail. However, there is not many findings reported on investigation of the skeleton joint coordinates in xyz-axes for full body as gait features for human gait recognition. Hence this study review and highlight the potential of coordinates of skeleton joints as gait features and thus should be further explored.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125492677","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 practice, Low-Resolution (LR) images or videos are widely used in surveillance systems. In low resolution surveillance systems, the car plate text is often illegible. Super-Resolution (SR) techniques can be used to improve the car plate quality by processing a series of LR images into a single High-Resolution (HR) image. Recovering the HR image from a single LR is still an ill-conditioned problem for SR. Previous methods always minimize the mean square loss in order to improve the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR). However, minimizing the mean square loss leads to overly smoothed reconstructed image. In this paper, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) based SR is proposed to reconstruct the LR images into HR images. Besides that, perceptual loss is proposed to solve the smoothing issue. The quality of the GAN based SR generated images is compared to existing techniques such as bicubic, nearest and Super-Resolution Convolution Neural Network (SRCNN). The results show that the reconstructed images using GANs based SR achieve better results in term of perceptual quality compared to previous methods.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126940328","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}

Encryption of sensitive data is a well-known technique to preserve their confidentiality, however it comes with certain costs that can heavily impact the device processing resources. Utilizing multicore processors, which are equipped with current embedded devices, has brought a new era to enhance data confidentiality while maintaining suitable device performance. Encrypting the complete storage area, also known as Full Disk Encryption (FDE) can still be challenging, especially with newly emerging massive storage systems. Alternatively, since the most user sensitive data are residing inside persisting databases, it will be more efficient to focus on securing SQLite databases, through encryption, where SQLite is the most common RDBMS in handheld and embedded systems. This paper addresses the problem of ensuring data protection in embedded and mobile devices while maintaining suitable device performance by mitigating the impact of encryption. We presented here a proposed design for a parallel database encryption system, called SQLite-XTS. The proposed system encrypts data stored in databases transparently on-the-fly without the need for any user intervention. To maintain a proper device performance, the system takes advantage of the commodity multicore processors available with most embedded and mobile devices.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130232870","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 aim of this study is to determine the relationship between environmental factors and the occurrence of accident cases. The road accident data were obtained from Ibu Pejabat Kontinjen (IPK) Alor Setar and the weather data were obtained from the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD) from the year 2013 to 2015. These data were processed through ArcGIS software 10.5. Subsequently, to determine the relationship between accident cases and environmental factors, the regression method was carried out. The result show rainfall has effects toward road accidents at the low level of rainfall. Besides that, there are two levels of temperature that lead to accidents occurring in Kedah such as cool day and warm day. The number of accident cases increased when the temperature value in cool day category increased and the number of road accident cases occurred decreased when the temperature value increased in warm day category. Meanwhile, the number of accident cases increased when the wind speed is maximum or above 20 m/s. In conclusion, the advancements in Geographical Information System (GIS) can be put to effective use in road accidents for further analysis such as spatial-temporal analysis, hotspots area analysis, shortest path analysis and emergency response analysis.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126031680","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 process also known as Region of Interest (ROI) segmentation involves separating purely color variant symptom lesions from surrounding green tissue from which discriminant features are later extracted. However, investigations have shown that vivid anatomy of a disease symptom progression right from inception to manifestation through which finer disease characterization dissimilarity features can be fostered are not captured in a segmented ROI. Furthermore, the typical ROI segmentation process is often plagued by challenges ranging from intrinsic factors such as image capture conditions to extrinsic factors such as disease anatomy where symptoms fade into healthy green tissue the separation boundary to become impalpable. This adds further complexity to the process or produce erroneous result. This research proposes an automatic extended region of interest (EROI) segmentation to incorporate symptom progression information by extending the border region to cover some part of healthy tissue using color homogeneity thresholding. To produce a ground truth, the typical ROI segmentation alongside a reduced ROI were implemented on a well-known PlantVillage dataset from which separate textural and color features were extracted and used to build a linear classifier. A comparison between the classification results further reinforced the advantages of the proposed approach for dissimilarity features extraction. Through this research, finer characterization features can be extracted for the classification and severity estimation of plant diseases.","PeriodicalId":400983,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123220152","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}
