In addition, the new concept of Combined Action Units (CAUs) is presented. Those are grouped AUs which are detected as a unit. The applied emotion classification is based on logical rules, no learning is involved. First implementations have been made on a mobile platform.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133276241","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}

Deployment of wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered as a possible solution. WSN are networks that monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, stress, and humidity. They find a wide range of applications in environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, and structural monitoring. In this research, a WSN simulation framework is developed so that it could be integrated with a hardware prototype to monitor the structural health of bridges, monuments, and skyscrapers. The simulation framework is developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The data integrity of the simulation framework is analyzed using cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and transmission error rate calculator.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127234899","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 we propose a remote monitoring system for assessing mental effort or cognitive load using low cost Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor. The variations in the skin conductance level measured using the GSR signal, is used to generate a score in real-time, which reflects the level of mental load experienced by an individual. This score gives an additional information about the efforts given by the participants and hence is an important value addition for assessing one's mental workload while doing any task. The score is initially transmitted to a mobile gateway device for local monitoring and later transmitted to a backend server for offline analysis and tracking of the performance over a period of time.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123647520","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}

Thus, the provide an opportunity to estimate the location of user more efficiently with reduced number of radio frequency (RF) chains and computational costs.
