EMG classification is widely used in electric control of mechanically developed prosthesis, robots development, clinical application etc. It has been evaluated for years and varieties of algorithms are developed to serve different goals. In this paper, we develop an easy to implement and fast to execute patternrecognition method for classifying signals used for human gait analysis. This method is based on adding two new temporal features (form factor and standard deviation) for EMG signal recognition and using them along with several popular features (area under me curve, wavelength function-pathway and zero crossing rate) to come up with a low complexity suitable feature extraction. Results are presented for EMG data and comparison with existing methods is made to validate the applicability of the foregoing method.

We propose a possibility theory-based approach to the treatment of missing user preferences in skyline queries. To compensate this lack of knowledge, we show how a set of plausible preferences suitable for the current context can be derived either in a case-based reasoning manner, or using an extended possibilistic logic setting. Uncertain dominance relationships are defined in a possibilistic way and the notion of possibilistic contextual skyline is introduced. This kind of skyline allows us to return the tuples that are non-dominated with a high certainty. The paper also includes a structured overview of the different types of “fuzzy” skylines.

Real-time feature extraction is a key component for any action recognition system that claims to be truly real-time. In this paper we present a conceptually simple and computationally efficient method for real-time human activity recognition based on simple statistical features. Such features are very cheap to compute and form a relatively low dimensional feature space in which classification can be carried out robustly. On the Weizmann dataset, the proposed method achieves encouraging recognition results with an average rate up to 97.8%. These results are in a good agreement with the literature. Further, the method achieves real-time performance, and thus can offer timing guarantees to real-time applications.

This paper first reviews the state-of-the-art of fuzzy rule-based classifiers (FRBCs), then it discusses how to implement an FRBC under the patternrecognition Toolbox (PRTools), the de-facto standard toolbox for classification in Matlab. Such an implementation, called frbc, allows for a straightforward comparison of frbc with other classifiers already available under the PRTools. Furthermore, frbc can easily be used and combined with any other general-purpose function already available in PRTools. In this way, e. g., it becomes really easy to perform many types of feature selection, based on the accuracy achieved by frbc on the subset of features at hand. Another useful feature is the capability to export each FRBC generated by frbc as a standard Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) structure used within the Matlab Fuzzy Logic Toolbox (FLT): this allows comparisons/validations, visual inspection of the rule base, etc. In the experimental part we first assess the correctness of the implementation, by reproducing results existing in the literature. Then we show some examples of usage of frbc, combined with existing PRTools functions.

This paper presents an iris recognition method based on the two dimensional dual-tree complex wavelet transform (2D-CWT) and the support vector machines (SVM). 2D-CWT has such significant properties as the approximate shift-invariance, high directional selectivity and computationally much more efficient. These properties are very useful in invariant iris recognition. SVM is used as a classifier and several kernel functions are tested in the experiments. The obtained experimental results showed that the proposed approach enhanced the classification accuracy. The experimental results were also compared with the k-NN and Naïve Bayes classifiers to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed technique.

Objects are usually described by combinations of properties. Logic-based descriptions offer compact representations for binary properties. Besides, Sugeno integrals are well-known as a powerful qualitative aggregation tool in multiple-criteria decision, which is applicable to gradual properties, and takes into account positive synergies between properties. The paper proposes to investigate the potential use of Sugeno integrals as a representation tool, to lay bare their relation with possibilistic logic representations, and to discuss the handling of negative synergies in this setting using a pair of Sugeno integrals.

Polar Harmonic Transform (PHT) is termed to represent a set of transforms those kernels are basic waves and harmonic in nature. PHTs consist of Polar Complex Exponential Transform (PCET), Polar Cosine Transform (PCT) and Polar Sine Transform (PST). They are proposed to represent invariant image patterns for two dimensional image retrieval and patternrecognition tasks. They are demonstrated to show superiorities comparing with other methods on describing rotation invariant patterns for images. Kernel computation of PHTs is also simple and has no numerical stability issue. However in order to increase the computation speed, fast computation method is needed especially for real world applications like limited computing environments, large image databases and realtime systems. This paper presents Fast Polar Harmonic Transforms (FPHTs) including Fast Polar Complex Exponential Transform (FPCET), Fast Polar Cosine Transform (FPCT) and Fast Polar Sine Transform (FPST) that are deduced based on mathematical properties of trigonometric functions. The proposed FPHTs are averagely over 6 similar to 8 times faster than PHTs that significantly boost computation process. The experimental results on both synthetic and real data are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed fast transforms.

This paper investigates the effect of diversity caused by Negative Correlation Learning (NCL) in the combination of neural classifiers and presents an efficient way to improve combining performance. Decision Templates and Averaging, as two non-trainable combining methods and Stacked Generalization as a trainable combiner are investigated in our experiments. Utilizing NCL for diversifying the base classifiers leads to significantly better results in all employed combining methods. Experimental results on five datasets from UCI repository indicate that by employing NCL, the performance of the ensemble structure can be more favorable compared to that of an ensemble use independent base classifiers.

The paper considers automatic visual recognition of signed expressions. The proposed method is based on modeling gestures with subunits, which is similar to modeling speech by means of phonemes. To define the subunits a data-driven procedure is applied. The procedure consists in partitioning time series, extracted from video, into subsequences which form homogeneous groups. The cut points are determined by an immune optimization procedure based on quality assessment of the resulting clusters. In the paper the problem is formulated, its solution method is proposed and experimentally verified on a database of 100 Polish words. The results show that our subunit-based classifier outperforms its whole-word-based counterpart, which is particularly evident when new words are recognized on the basis of a small number of examples.
