Abstract

Precision agriculture aims to maximize yield with optimum resources. Vast majority of natural systems are acknowledged as complex and non-linear. However, prior to formulation of precise models, linearity tests are performed to validate plant behavior. This study has presented proof that the water uptake system in monopodial orchid is indeed non-linear. The change in physical growth of root and stem due to temperature and relative humidity factors are observed. The work focused on Ascocenda Fuchs Harvest Moon x (V. Chaophraya x Boots) orchid hybrid. Three complementary methods are presented: linearity tests through 1) regression fitting; 2) scatter plots; and 3) cross-correlation function tests. Root diameter, stem diameter, temperature, and relative humidity are logged at 15 minutes interval for a duration of 71 days. The polynomial equations derived for root diameter and stem diameter changes attained strong regression coefficients. The non-linear behavior is further confirmed by the scatter plots where no linear associations are present between the independent and dependent variables. Subsequently, the cross-correlation function tests conducted on temperature-root diameter, temperature-stem diameter, relative humidity-root diameter, and relative humidity-stem diameter combinations also revealed weak correlation. Despite using different techniques, the behavior of physical changes has been consistently proven to be non-linear.

Abstract

Narrowing of coronary arteries caused by cholesterol deposits deprives heart tissues of oxygen. In prolonged conditions, these will result in myocardium infarction. The presence of damage tissues modifies the normal sinus rhythm and this can be detected using electrocardiogram (ECG). Hence, this paper characterized history of myocardial infarction from survivors using QRS power ratio features from the ECG. Subsequent profiling is performed using multilayered perceptron (MLP) and hybrid multilayered perceptron (HMLP) networks. ECG with history of anterior and inferior infarctions, along with healthy controls is obtained from PTB Diagnostic ECG Database. The signal is initially pre-processed and the power ratio features are extracted for low- and mid-frequency components. The features are then used as input vector to the MLP and HMLP networks. The optimized MLP has attained accuracies of 99.2% for training and 98.0% for testing. Meanwhile, the optimized HMLP managed to achieve accuracies of 99.4% for training and 97.8% for testing. Despite the similarities in network performance, MLP provides a better alternative due to the reduced computational requirements by as much as 30%.

Abstract

Water quality plays a major role in issues related to public health and marine life. Hence, monitoring river for contaminations is vital for ensuring safe and sustainable water resources. Conventional method for assessing water quality index is costly as it requires considerable amount of time and laboratory resources. Therefore, this study proposes a water quality index model based on artificial neural network. A six-year data for Air Busuk River is obtained from the Department of Environment. Dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, and ammoniacal nitrogen has shown high correlation with water quality index. The water quality index model is then developed based on these parameters, employing the non-linear autoregressive with exogeneous input structure. Generally, the model which is based on three chemical parameters has shown satisfactory performance with overall regression of 0.8767 and passed the correlation function tests. The model offers a potentially efficient method for assessing water quality with cost-saving benefits for government agencies and monitoring authorities.

Abstract

Face verification focuses on the task of determining whether two face images belong to the same identity or not. For unrestricted faces in the wild, this is a very challenging task. Besides significant degradation due to images that have large variations in pose, illumination, expression, aging, and occlusions, it also suffers from large-scale ever-expanding data needed to perform one-to-many recognition task. In this paper, we propose a face verification method by learning face similarities using a Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNet). Instead of extracting features from each face image separately, our ConvNet model jointly extracts relational visual features from two face images in comparison. We train four hybrid ConvNet models to learn how to distinguish similarities between the face pair of four different face portions and join them at top-layer classifier level. We use binary-class classifier at top-layer level to identify the similarity of face pairs which includes a conventional Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Native Bayes, and another ConvNet. There are 3 face pairing configurations discussed in this paper. Results from experiments using Labeled face in the Wild (LFW) and CelebA datasets indicate that our hybrid ConvNet increases the face verification accuracy by as much as 27% when compared to individual ConvNet approach. We also found that Lateral face pair configuration yields the best LFW test accuracy on a very strict test protocol without any face alignment using MLP as top-layer classifier at 87.89%, which on-par with the state-of-the-arts. We showed that our approach is more flexible in terms of inferencing the learned models on out-of-sample data by testing LFW and CelebA on either model.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential gait features that are related to human recognition using orthogonal least square (OLS). Firstly, video of 30 subjects walking in oblique view was recorded using Kinect. Next, all 20 skeleton joints in 3D space were extracted and further selected using OLS. Additionally, SVM with linear, polynomial and radial basis function (RBF) kernel was used to classify the selected features. As consequences, OLS was proven to be able to identify the significant features using all three kernels of SVM since all recognition accuracy attained is higher as compared to the original gait features. Results attained showed that the highest recognition accuracy was 90.67% using 48 skeleton joint points for SVM with linear as kernel, followed by 46 skeleton joint points for SVM with RBF kernel namely 88.33% and accuracy of 86.33% for 38 skeleton joint points using  polynomial kernel.
