this paper deals with a novel method for knife detection in images. the special feature of any knife is its simple geometric form. the proposed knife detection scheme is based on searching object with corresponding form. Fuzzy and possibilistic shell clustering methods are used to find contours of objects in the picture. these methods give as a result a set of second-degree curves offered in analytical form. To answer the question whether there is a knife in the picture, the angle between two such curves is calculated and its value is estimated. A C++ program was developed for experiments allowing to confirm the suitability of the proposed scheme for knife detection. Robustness of possibilistic c quadric shell clustering to outlier points let us use this algorithm in real-life situations. the objective of research is to use the results for developing a system for monitoring dangerous situation in urban environment using public CCTV systems.

Myoelectric patternrecognition (PR) can provide a more intuitive control for upper limb amputees in using multifunction prosthesis than direct control. Accuracy of a patternrecognition system has been shown to improve with increasing number of EMG channels. However, increasing the number of channels comes with a drawback of increased weight, cost and complexity of the prosthesis. this paper presents the concept and design of a novel EMG acquisition system to acquire higher number of channels without increasing the number of electrodes placed or the complexity of the prosthetic device. A prototype of the device was developed and tested on able-bodied subjects to evaluate its performance in patternrecognition. Subjects were requested to perform 9 different hand movements while EMG data was collected into training and test groups. Test results indicate a 15% improvement in classification accuracy withthe new system when compared to conventional systems. A system like this is valuable for patients with higher level amputations where placing higher number of electrodes is not feasible due to limited availability of appropriate muscle sites.

A challenge in using myoelectric signals in control of motorised prostheses is achieving effective signal patternrecognition and robust classification of intended motions. In this paper, the performance of Matlab's Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) backpropogation training algorithms in motion classification were assessed. the test and evaluation platform used was “BioPatRec”, a Matlab-based open-source prosthetic control development environment, together with algorithms sourced from Matlab's neural network toolbox. the algorithms were used to interpret multielectrode myoelectric signals for motion classification, withthe aim of finding the best performing algorithm and network model. the results showed that Matlab's trainlm and trainrp algorithms could achieve a higher accuracy than other tested MLP training algorithms (94.13 ± 0.037% and 91.09 ± 0.047%, respectively). Discussion of these results investigates significant features to obtain the highest performance.

A natural and intuitive operation of multifunctional upper limb prostheses involves the concurrent activation of multiple degrees of freedom in a proportional way. Several approaches to simultaneous and proportional control strategies have been investigated;provided outcome measures however were offline accuracy or error rates and lacked the functional component of a preclinical assessment. this study evaluated a simultaneous proportional patternrecognition control strategy with two parallel classifiers in a two-dimensional Fitts' law style test and compared it to a sequential patternrecognition approach. the proposed test allowed for a complete evaluation through different performance metrics such as throughput (TP, bits/sec), path efficiency (PE,%), completion rate (%), overshoot (%) and reaction time (sec). We found that the simultaneous approach presented with numerous advantages with respect to the sequential alternative through significantly higher TP and PE for combined-motion targets (p<0.001) and significantly less overshooting in both combined and discrete targets (p<0.01). For discrete motions, the TP was significantly lower for the simultaneous approach (p<0.001) but PE was similar. there was no difference in either completion rate or reaction time. these results support the potential of simultaneous patternrecognition for the control of multifunctional prostheses and underline the usefulness of a simple functional test in a preclinical framework.

pattern-recognition-based control using surface electromyography (EMG) from the extrinsic hand muscles has shown great promise for providing control of multiple prosthetic functions. However, it is not clear how these systems will perform when the user possesses a functional wrist;an attribute unique to the population of partial-hand amputees. Fortunately, partial-hand amputees may have remaining intrinsic hand muscles, from which additional information-rich EMG data may be extracted and used for prosthetic control. We investigated the effect of statically and dynamically varying wrist position on a patternrecognition system's ability to classify hand grasp patterns in able-bodied individuals. We found that varying wrist position significantly degraded the system's performance (p<0.001). the system performed worse when trained only with EMG data from the extrinsic hand muscles than when trained with EMG data from the intrinsic hand muscles. the system's performance significantly improved when trained in all static wrist positions (p<0.001) and with all dynamic wrist motions (p<0.001).
