This paper presents one novel algorithm for minimization of non-zero coefficients of Finite Impulse response (FIR) pulse-shaping filter, mostly employed in practical digital communication system to alleviate the difficulties resulting from Inter Symbol Interference (ISI), followed by its hardware optimization on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip . Filter performance has been demonstrated through the inclusion of impulse response, magnitude spectrum and requirement of various hardware blocks. The supremacy of our algorithm has been substantiated by comparing its performance with other existing models of different length. From the simulation results, it has been concluded that the proposed FIR filter provides a considerable reduction in the number of non-zero coefficients without affecting its performance significantly.

Design of a Novel Shape Signature by Farthest Point Angle for Object Recognition
Статья научная
An overview of state of art in computerized object recognition techniques regarding digital images is revised. Advantages of shape based techniques are discussed. Importance of "Fourier Descriptor" (FD) for the shape based object representation is described. A survey for the available shape signature assignment methods with Fourier descriptors is presented. Details for the design of shape signature containing the crucial information of corners of the object are depicted. A novel shape signature is designed basing on the Farthest Point Angle (FPA) which corresponds to the contour point. FPA signature considers the computation of the angle between the line drawn from each contour point and the line drawn from the farthest corner point. Histogram for each 15o angle conceiving the information of the object is constructed. FPA signature is evaluated for three standard databases; viz., two in Kimia {K-99, K-216} and one in MPEG CE-1 Set B. The performance of the present FPA method estimated through recognition rate, time and degree of matching and is found to be higher.

Статья научная
The marine researchers analyze the behaviors of fish in the sea by manually viewing the full video for their research activity. Searching events of interest from a video database is a time consuming and tedious process. Video summary refers to representing the whole video using few frames. The objective of this work is to design and develop a statistical video summarization to perform the automatic detection of events of interest in underwater video. In this proposed work, a video is partitioned into adjacent and non-overlapping datacubes. Then, the video frames are transformed into wavelet sub-bands and the standard deviation between two consecutive frames is computed. Pixels of interest in frames are identified using threshold values. Key frames are identified using Local Maxima and Local Minima. The proposed work effectively detects even the movement of small water bodies such as crabs which is not detected using the existing methods. Finally, this paper presents the experimental results of proposed method and existing methods in terms of metrics that measure the valid of the work.

In recent years, near threshold computing is becoming a promising solution to achieve minimum energy consumption. In this paper, the Dynamic Threshold body MOS (DTMOS) technique is assessed in the context of 10T full subtractor circuit designed to operate in the near threshold region. The performance parameters – Energy, power, area, delay, and EDP were computed and compared with the conventional CMOS (C-CMOS) Full subtractor. The simulations were performed using cadence 90 nm technology with Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) of 0.3V. The results have been shown that the proposed 10T full subtractor circuit with DTMOS scheme achieves more than 18% savings in delay, 26% savings in energy consumption and 39% savings in EDP in comparison with the conventional CMOS configuration and other hybrid counterparts.

Статья научная
In the era of information extension today, videos are easily captured and made viral in a short time, and video tampering has become more comfortable due to editing software. So, the authenticity of videos becomes more essential. Video inter-frame forgeries are the most common type of video forgery methods, which are difficult to detect by the naked eye. Until now, some algorithms have been suggested for detecting inter-frame forgeries based on handicraft features, but the accuracy and processing speed of those algorithms are still challenging. In this paper, we are going to put forward a video forgery detection method for detecting video inter-frame forgeries based on convolutional neural network (CNN) models by retraining the available CNN model trained on ImageNet dataset. The proposed method based on state-the-art CNN models, which are retrained to exploit spatial-temporal relationships in a video to detect inter-frame forgeries robustly and we have also proposed a confidence score instead of the raw output score based on these networks for increasing accuracy of the proposed method. Through the experiments, the detection accuracy of the proposed method is 99.17%. This result has shown that the proposed method has significantly higher efficiency and accuracy than other recent methods.

The extraction of heart sound component from a composite signal of heart and lung is a quite challenging task in phonocardiogram signal analysis the first heart sound (S1) and the second heart sound (S2), produced by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and the closing of the semilunar valves, respectively, are the fundamental sounds of the heart. To accomplish this task a novel framework with intrinsic time scale decomposition (ITD) is designed. The capture of the PCG signal frequently hides the detection of the third heart sound (S3), which is necessary to identify cardiac failures. To separate S3, ITD method is deployed to enable signal decomposition into certain levels. Next, by applying smoothed pseudo-Wigner Ville distribution (SWVD) with reassignment, the location of S3 is detected. The proposed method is performed on 36 combinations consists of 144 cardiac cycles containing S3 obtained from different online databases. In comparison to existing approaches, the proposed work separates the S3 from other heart and lung sounds and the proposed method obtained the detection accuracy of S3 as 95.4%, which proves the superiority with other methods.

Detection of different brain diseases from EEG signals using hidden markov model
Статья научная
The brain imaging device, Electroencephalography (EEG) provides several advantages over other brain signals like Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). It is non-invasive and easily applicable. EEG provides high temporal resolution with a low setup cost. EEG signals of several subjects which record electric potential caused by neurons firing in the brain are undergone a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) classification technique. We are particularly interested to detect the brain diseases from EEG signals by an HMM probabilistic model. This HMM model is built with a given initial probability matrix of five different states, namely, epilepsy, seizure, dementia, stroke and normality. The transition probability matrix is updated after each iteration of parameter estimation using Baum-Welch algorithm (B-W algorithm).

In this study; values obtained through the analysis of blood samples, taken under laboratory conditions, from patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome and healthy subjects and the sympathetic skin response parameters were used. With the aim of classifying verbal pain scale, which is one of the psychological test scores used for fibromyalgia syndrome diagnosis; relation between the sympathetic skin response effect on other test data and the verbal pain scale were reviewed by using different conditions of available data. Within this framework, three different algorithms were used for classification with high accuracy rates. These algorithms are: Multi-Layer Feed-Forward Neural Networks, Probabilistic Neural Network and Radial Basis Function Neural Network. For Multi-Layer Feed-Forward Neural Networks classification algorithm, classification was done with three different training algorithms, Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation, Resilient back propagation and the Scaled conjugate gradient back propagation and the results were compared elaborately. Based on the results, by using all variables the following accuracy rates were obtained: 68.2% accuracy with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm, 77.3% accuracy with the Resilient back propagation training algorithm, and 68.18% accuracy with the Scaled conjugate gradient training algorithm. These success rates show that there is a relationship between verbal pain scale, sympathetic skin response and other test data.

Статья научная
Knee Osteoarthritis is most ordinary kind of joint inflammation, which often occurs in one or both the knee joints. Osteoarthritis is additionally called as 'wear and tear' process of joint that results in dynamic disintegration of articular cartilage. Cartilage is smooth substantial layer that ensures movement to occur effortlessly. In Osteoarthritis, the cartilage is inclined towards the destruction as it loses elasticity and becomes brittle. Osteoarthritis is regularly investigated from radiographic evaluation after clinical examination. In any case, a visual evaluation made by the restorative physician depends on experience that varies subjectively and is profoundly reliant on their experience. Subsequently, in order to make diagnostic process more systematic and reliable, evolution of imaging based analysis for early recognition of Osteoarthritis is required. The objective of this study is to develop a machine vision approach for investigation of Knee Osteoarthritis using region based and active shape model. The computation involves histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) method. The processed HOG elements are computed using multiclass SVM for evaluating Osteoarthritis based on Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grading system. The classification rate of 97.96% for Grade-0, 92.85% for Grade-1, 86.20% for Grade-2, 100% for Grade-3 & Grade-4 is obtained. The results are promising and competitive which are validated by the medical experts.

Method of symmetric component is used in analysis of disturbances (short circuits and disturbances) and can be verified by computer simulation and measurement. It is based on possibility of making calculations simple by separating a three-phase asymmetric system into three symmetric systems and three single-phase schemes. It is very important for three-phase electrical networks with linear parameters and the same frequency in the network. The transition of quantities (ems, voltages and currents ) from the asymmetric domain of a three-phase system to the symmetric domain is performed using transformation matrices. Expressions determined in the system of symmetric components are then superimposed on expressions corresponding to conditions of asymmetric system, and superposition is correct if electric quantities are of simple-periodic functions. The paper presents a new method based on analysis using symmetric component methods and diagnostic algorithms for the assessment of the most common disturbances in power grids. The adapted part of the MATLAB package psb.abc,part.mdl was used for method verification, and the obtained results in the form of diagrams and values of diagnostic functions arranged in the form of tables confirm the applicability of the proposed new diagnostic algorithm for analysis and assessment of steady states and disturbances in electrical networks. The proposed diagnostic algorithm enables the realization of the maximum number of diagnostic functions on the basis of which a scheme for diagnosing disorders with classical diode elements or a more modern scheme with microprocessor components can be realized.
