In this paper we propose a motion recognition method for handheld controller 3-D acceleration signals, generated by 3 axis accelerometer in the controller, are transmitted to the computer by Bluetooth communication. We extract motion segments from continuous acceleration signals and apply to each motion model, which is trained in training phase. Hidden Markov Model was used to model each motion. We applied proposed method to three motion sets, the recognition result was good enough to practical use.

HMMs (Hidden Markov Models) are widely used for biological signal, such as EEG (electroencephalogram) sequence, analysis because of their ability to incorporate sequential information in their structure. A recent trends of research are going after the biological interpretable HMMs, and we need to control the complexity of the HMM so that it has good generalization performance. So, an automatic means of optimizing the structure of HMMs would be highly desirable. In this paper, we described a procedure of classification of motor imagery EEG signals using HMM. The motor imagery related EEG signals recorded from subjects performing left, right hand and foots motor imagery. And the proposed a method that was focus on the validation of the HSA (Harmony Search Algorithm) based optimization for HMM. Harmony search algorithm is sufficiently adaptable to allow incorporation of other techniques. A HMM training strategy using HSA is proposed, and it is tested on finding optimized structure for the pattern recognition of EEG sequence. The proposed HSA-HMM can performs global searching without initial parameter setting, local optima, and solution divergence.

In this paper, a new temporal decomposition method is proposed. which takes into consideration not only spectral distortion but also bit rates. The interpolation functions, which are one of necessary parameters for temporal decomposition, are obtained from the training speech corpus. Since the interval between the two targets uniquely defines the interpolation function, the interpolation can be represented without additional information. The locations of the targets are determined by minimizing the bit rates while the maximum spectral distortion maintains below a given threshold. The proposed method has been applied to compressing the LSP coefficients which are widely used as a spectral parameter. The results of the simulation show that an average spectral distortion of about 1.4 dB can be achieved at an average bit rate of about 8 bits/Frame.

The detection and recognition of abnormal driving becomes crucial for achieving safety in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This paper presents a feature extraction method based on spectral data to train a neural network model for driving behavior recognition. The proposed method uses a two stage signal processing approach to derive time-saving and efficient feature vectors. For the first stage, the feature vector set is obtained by calculating variances from each frequency bin containing the power spectrum data. The feature set is further reduced in the second stage where an intersection method is used to select more significant features that are finally applied for training a neural network model. A stream of live signals are fed to the trained model which recognizes the abnormal driving behaviors. The driving behaviors considered in this study are weaving, sudden braking and normal driving. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing with existing methods, which are Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN). The experiments show that the proposed approach achieves satisfactory results with less computational complexity.

Data transmission experiences multiplicative distortion in frequency nonselective fading channel. This distortion occurs in OFDM communication channel and can be compensated using an equalizer. Usually, in the case of LMS equalizer, eigenvalue distribution of training signal is enlarged. Large eigenvalue distribution causes principally the performance of a communication system to be deteriorated. This paper proposes a new algorithm that shows the same performance as the existing fast wavelet transform algorithm with less computational complexity. The proposed algorithm was applied to an adaptive equalizer of OFDM communication system. Matlab simulation results show a better performance than the existing one. The proposed algorithm was implemented in VHDL and simulated.

In this paper, we propose a novel predictive control method, which uses a wavelet neural network as a predictor, for the control of chaotic systems. In our method, we use the gradient descent method for training the parameter of a wavelet neural network. The control signals are directly obtained by minimizing the difference between a reference signal and the output of a wavelet neural network. To verify the efficiency of our method, we apply it to the Doffing and the Henon system, which are a representative continuous and discrete time chaotic system respectively, and compare with the results of generalized predictive control using multi-layer perceptron.

In this paper, PLC which can be installed easily and is stable to transfer datum, is tested for approving its application in a real ship. Internet access service, CCTV monitoring, light control and huge sensor communications are needed for enhancing the convenience and safety of passengers and crew in ships. In order to apply PLC in ships, we surveyed some noises interrupting PLC in ships and investigated the PLC characteristics. The Hannara, a training ship of Korea Maritime University, was used for the test. We measured and analyzed blocking noises using by NI's SCXI-1001. When noises of specific frequency band occurred near the PLC frequency band, PLC transfer capacity was low for mass datum. We developed and verified some methods to apply PLC in a ship under lots of noises.

It is well knowns that based on the CSP (Common Spatial Pattern) algorithm, the linear projection of an EEG (Electroencephalography) signal can be made to spaces that optimize the discriminant between two patterns. Sharing disadvantages from linear time invariant systems, CSP suffers from the non-stationary nature of EEGs causing the performance of the classification in a BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) system to drop significantly when comparing the training data and test data. The author has suggested a simple idea based on the parallel model of CSP filters to improve the performance of BCI systems. The model was tested with a simple CSP algorithm (without any elaborate regularizing methods) and a perceptron learning algorithm as a classifier to determine the improvement of the system. The simulation showed that the parallel model could improve classification performance by over 10% compared to conventional CSP methods.

In this paper, we propose a radial reference map-based location fingerprinting technique with constant spacing from an access point (AP) to all reference points by considering the minimum dynamic range of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) obtained through an experiment conducted in an indoor environment. Because the minimum dynamic range, 12 dBm, of the RSSI appeared every 20 cm during the training stage, a cell spacing of 80 cm was applied. Furthermore, by considering the minimum dynamic range of an RSSI in the location estimation stage, when an RSSI exceeding the cumulative average by ${\pm}6dBm$ was received, a previously estimated location was provided. We also compared the location estimation accuracy of the proposed method with that of a conventional fingerprinting technique that uses a grid reference map, and found that the average location estimation accuracy of the conventional method was 21.8%, whereas that of the proposed technique was 90.9%.

In highly automated machining centers, intelligent sensor fddeback systems are indispensable on order to monitor their operations, to ensure efficient metal removal, and to initate remedial action in the event of accident. In this study, an on-line tool wear detection system for thrning operations is developed, and experimentally evaluated. The system employs multiple sensors and the signals from these sensors are processed using a multichannel autoegressive (AR) series model. The resulting output from the signal processing block is then fed to a previously tranied artificial neural network (multiayered perceptron) to make a final decision on the state of the cutting tool. To learn the necessary input/output mapping for tool wear detection, the weithts and thresholds of the network are adjusted according to the back propagation (BP) method during off-line training. The results of experimental evaluation show that the system works well over a wide range of cutting conditions, and the ability of the system to detect tool wear is improved due to the generalization, fault-tolearant and self-ofganizing properties of the neural network.
