The fingerprint matching problem is formulated as a classification system in which a model is learned to classify every two fingerprints as a genuine or impostor pair. Traditional approaches perform a feature extraction step before matching a fingerprint pair. On the other hand, recently convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have presented exceptional success for many image processing tasks such as face recognition. However, there have been only a few attempts to develop fully CNN methods to deal with challenges in fingerprint recognition problem. In this paper, a CNN-based fingerprint matching method has been developed. A key contribution of the proposed method is to directly learn fingerprint patterns from raw pixels of images. In order to achieve robustness and characterize the similarities comprehensively, incomplete and partial fingerprint pairs were taken into account to extract complementary features. Also, we proposed an end to end CNN approach that contains the feature extraction part of the trained AlexNet network. The network reached an EER of 17.5% on the FVC2002 dataset, that shows better results in comparison to the MinutiaSC and A-KAZE methods.","PeriodicalId":6683,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"1994-1998"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76759631","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}

Since EEG activities during sleep exhibit physiological and pathological situation of the brain, analyzing the oscillations during various sleep stages are of fundamental importance for the assessment of sleep disorders. On the other hand, recent developments in the fields of signal processing and pattern recognition have prompted sleep researchers to employ accurate and reliable computerized systems in diagnosis processes. The purpose of this paper was to develop a novel automated methodology for diagnosing apneic patients from healthy subjects using single-channel EEG signal. To this end, it was concentrated on the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. A comprehensive time-domain based feature extraction scheme was proposed for extracting features from various EEG frequency bands of REM sleep. Uninformative features were eliminated by minimal redundancy maximal relevance (mRMR) feature selection algorithm. An ensemble learning method namely random undersampling boosting (RUSBoost) was then utilized for the purpose of classification. The effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed approach were evaluated using k-fold cross-validation technique. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can be used as an efficient method for automated SAS screening with regard to promising classification performance in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.","PeriodicalId":6683,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1829-1833"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82092916","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}

Although singularity of system equations, caused by existence of algebraic equations together with differential ones, gives it a great ability for describing more precise behaviors of dynamical systems, it also causes complexities in analysis and design procedures. On the other hand, considering actuator saturation constraint as a practical limitation for the system needs precise mathematical calculations. In this regard, a theorem is given that shows the proposed robust control law is capable to drive the output of the system to track a step reference in presence of uncertainties, disturbances, and actuator saturation constraint. Investigating different cases of saturation function with precise mathematical operations in the given theorem based on Lyapunov approach analysis demonstrates that the regulation goal is achieved even if the input saturation takes place. The accuracy of the proposed control law is finally verified by computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":6683,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"1113-1117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82256645","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}
