In this study we classify one of the water pollutants which is the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of polluted water in Penang strait, Malaysia by applying Modified Hopfield Neural Network Algorithm (MHNNA) on THEOS (Thailand Earth Observation System) image. The samples were collected from study area simultaneously with the airborne image acquisition. The samples locations were determined by using a handheld global positioning system (GPS), and the measurement of TSS concentrations was conducted in the lab as validation data (sea-truth data). By using algorithm (MHNNA) the concentrations of TSS have been classified according their varied values to produce the map. The map was colour-coded for visual interpretation. The investigation of efficiency of the proposed algorithm was based on dividing the validation data into two groups, the first group refers to standard samples for supervisor classification by the used algorithm. And the second group for test, where after classification we detect the second group data positions in the produced classes, then finding correlation coefficient (R) and root-mean-square-error (RMSE) between the first group data and the second group data according to their correspondence in the classes. The observations were high (R=0.899) with low (RMSE=17.687). This study indicates that TSS mapping of polluted water can be carried out using remote sensing technique by the application of MHNNA on THEOS satellite data over Penang strait, Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129315314","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 filter design approach aims at providing a generic framework that can be used to obtain filters of appropriate orders to synthesize musical sounds of melodic instruments characterized by continuity in sound production, e.g., the bowed and woodwind classes of instruments. The designed filters are used for real time synthesis along with a harmonically rich excitation that can be generated with low complexity.

Great damage to power system gird can happen due to harmonics. Thus it is important to precisely estimate the harmonics components that may help to avoid its harmful effect of the electrical grid performance. The more common algorithm that has been used to estimate the harmonic component is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), however FFT has few limitations, furthermore, modern power system network getting complex and noisy. Therefore, fast and accurate harmonic estimation in the presence of noise is needed. Sliding window based least mean square (LMS) algorithm is introduced in this paper to estimate the harmonic components in noisy environment. The result shows that the sliding window method able to give a good estimation to the harmonic component even when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is 0 dB.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131173200","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}

But the finer search results in the huge computation. In this paper, based on the definition and properties of FRFT, the amplitude characteristics of analytic LFM in FRFT domain was derived.

Thus, it is not certain that this method will produce precise result. Hence to avoid this drawback, a modified face recognition method is proposed in this paper. Here, a new face recognition method based on Opposition based PSO with SVM (OPSO-SVM) is introduced. To accomplish the face recognition with our proposed OPSO-SVM, initially feature extraction process is carried out on the image database. In the feature extraction process, the efficient features are extracted and then given to the SVM training and testing process. In OPSO, the populations are generated in two ways: one is random population as same as the normal PSO technique and the other is opposition population, which is based on the random population values. The optimized parameters in SVM by OPSO efficiently perform the face recognition process. Two human face databases FERET and YALE are utilized to analyze the performance of our proposed OPSO-SVM technique and also this OPSO-SVM is compared with PSO-SVM and standard SVM techniques.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114900604","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 work, we explore a novel Low-dimensional Manifold Learning (LDML) approach to overcome high dimensional search space of human model. Low-dimensional demonstration not only delivers a compact tractable search space, but it is efficient to capture general human pose variations. The key contribution of this work is an algorithm of Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) for pose optimization in latent space of human motion. Firstly, we learn the human motion model in low-dimensional latent space using nonlinear dimension reduction technique charting based on hierarchical strategy. Increased dependence provision is carried out using hierarchy strategic measures in charting, which improves accuracy in higher flexibility and adaptation. Then we applied QPSO algorithm to estimate the human poses in low-dimensional latent space. Preliminary experimental tracking results show that our approach is able to give good accuracy as compared to conventional state-of-the-arts methods.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"s2-36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117122656","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}

It is shown that the purpose of improving the accuracy of parameter estimation is achieved by using the Hanning window which reduces the long-range leakage and by frequency domain interpolation which eliminates the short-range leakage. The sensitivity analysis of changing of the parameters, noise effect and sampling length show that, both the noise effect and spectrum interference are considered, proving the reliability and high accuracy parameter estimation in a number of engineering applications.
