Impact response of thin-walled tubes: A prospective review
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-04)
Thin-walled structures have been widely used in various structural applications asimpact energy absorbing devices. During an impact situation, thin-walled tubesdemonstrate excellent capability in absorbing greater energy ...
Infant cry classification to identify asphyxia using time-frequency analysis and radial basis neural networks
(Elsevier Ltd, 2012-08)
A cry is the first verbal communication of infants and it is described as a loud, high-pitched sound made by infants in response to certain situations. Infant cry signals can be used to identify physical or psychological ...
Luminance sticker based facial expression recognition using discrete wavelet transform for physically disabled persons
(Springer Science+Business Media, LLC., 2012)
Developing tools to assist physically disabled and immobilized people through facial expression is a challenging area of research and has attracted many researchers recently. In this paper, luminance stickers based facial ...
Analysis of infant cry through weighted linear prediction cepstral coefficients and probabilistic neural network
(Springer Science+Business Media, LLC., 2012)
Acoustic analysis of infant cry signals has been proven to be an excellent tool in the
area of automatic detection of pathological status of an infant. This paper investigates
the application of parameter weighting for ...
Normal and hypoacoustic infant cry signal classification using time-frequency analysis and general regression neural network
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2012-11)
Crying is the most noticeable behavior of infancy. Infant cry signals can be used to identify physical or psychological status of an infant. Recently, acoustic analysis of infant cry signal has shown promising results and ...
Automated identification of exudates and optic disc based on inverse surface thresholding
(Springer Science+Business Media, LLC., 2012)
This paper presents a new approach to detect exudates and optic disc from color fundus images based on inverse surface thresholding. The strategy involves the applications of fuzzy c-means clustering, edge detection, otsu ...
Development of low cost “GloveMAP” based on fingertip bending tracking techniques for virtual interaction
(IJENS Publishers, 2012-08)
Thedevelopment of a new low cost GloveMAP based on fingertip bending tracking techniques for measuring the sign language is presented. Nowadays, the communication between two parties has always been a huge obstacle in the ...
Development of gesture database for an adaptive gesture recognition system
(IJENS Publishers, 2012-08)
The application of human gesture for the
interaction between humans and computers is becoming an
impressive alternative. Particularly, hand gesture is used as a
non-verbal communication between human and machines.
Most ...
Classification of speech dysfluencies with MFCC and LPCC features
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012-02)
The goal of this paper is to discuss comparison of speech parameterization methods: Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC) and Linear Prediction Cepstrum Coefficients (LPCC) for recognizing the stuttered events. Speech ...
A Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Approach to Optimize assembly sequence planning
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012-06)
This paper presents an approach of applying Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm to an assembly sequence-planning (ASP) problem. Permutation encoding of sequences is used to represent particles, then those ...
