The human stress is a mental condition that can abnormally change the brain electrical activity, thus, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal measurements can detect and quantify those brain cognitive changes that are differentiated from the normal state. In this research work, EEG signals are used for the analysis and detection of the level of human stress. The EEG signals are collected from the human being called it as a subject under test. The stroop colour test has been used as a stressor to induce stress in the subjects under test. The various levels of stress in the stroop test have been verified to low, moderate, and high levels of stress in the subject. The input signals are then decomposed into the number of a narrowband signal using wavelet transform. During the experimentation important features are also extracted from EEG signal to identify normal and abnormal signals. The SVM classifier has been used in our research work for the classification of stress and non stress signals. The performance of the proposed system using SVM is comparatively good in dependent and independent systems. The highest accuracy achieved in this study is 90% (Standard Deviation = 0.015) for user-dependent systems and 72.3% (SD = 0.08) for user-independent systems. The results show that the proposed system is reliable for detecting stress and normal levels respectively.

Abstract Automation plays an important role in event welding domain. This paper describes the problems associated with arc tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding for automated welding in oil and gas industry for pipe joints. Welding joints inside the offshore pipelines is a complex process and rework or repetitive work is very costly. Weld imperfections are the foremost anxiety in the pipe joint welding. Return out the entire weld machine to find the defect at the time of welding. This is one of the popular industry come with the problem statement to develop the application specific solution for inner pipe welding quality welding. However, this paper gives the solution. Moreover, factors like Joint crack, moisture, corrugated weld object, excessive gas flow, Lack of fusion in the root, Dirty base or filler metal are major problems in the welding process. Due to these issues weld quality is impacted. There are several problem areas in the existing welding control system i.e., poor topology selection, less efficiency, high power loss, more size, high cost, more maintenance, less effective control algorithm for welding control etc Due to all these factors the welding quality is hampered in traditional welding system. Many researchers have worked on the power electronics hardware section improvement but very less work done on the software section. This paper discusses on the software algorithm development and how the weld quality improved. Software welding algorithm development is the novelty of this paper. This paper proposed and developed low-cost welding machine controller using STM32F103 microcontroller with protection scheme. A welding algorithm is proposed and experimented to enhance arc TIG welding quality and automation. Welding algorithm is tested & practically verified using phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) power converter topology with pulse width modulation (PWM) control technology. The results reveal that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the quality of automated welding.
Inspired by the expansion of minimal effort advanced cameras in cell phones being conveyed in computerized systems, we think about the connection between perceptual picture quality and an exemplary PC vision errand of face recognition. We measure the corruption in execution of a well known and compelling face detector when human-saw image quality is corrupted by twists usually happening in catch, stockpiling, and transmission of facial pictures, including clamor, obscure, and pressure. It is observed that, inside a certain scope of picture quality, an unobtrusive increment in picture quality can radically enhance face recognition execution. These outcomes can be utilized to guide asset or transfer speed distribution in securing or correspondence/conveyance frameworks that are connected with face location undertakings. In this work a perceptual quality QualHOG feature is used. Face locators prepared on these new components give measurably huge change in resilience to picture bends over a solid gauge. Distortion dependent which is more distorted uninformed variations of the face indicators are proposed and assessed on a huge database of face pictures speaking to an extensive variety of mutilations. A one-sided variation of the preparing calculation is additionally recommended that further improves the power of these face locators. To encourage this exploration, we have developed another dataset in our lab for further study.

Here, evaluate the abasement in execution of well known and effective face detector when human captured picture quality is corrupted by additive gaussian noise and blur. It is observed that, inside a specific scope of recognized picture quality, an adequate increase in picture quality can improve face detection performance. These results can be utilized to guide data transfer capacity which regards with face detection task. A new face detector based on QualHOG features is proposed for robust face detection that increases image indicative Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features with perceptual quality-aware spatial Natural Scene Statistics (NSS) features. The new detector provides significant improvement in tolerance to image distortion. To improve this research, new face database containing face and non-face patches from pictures by variety of common distortion types and levels were created. Here we used 347 faces and 1287 non-faces database.

Nowadays there is an increased need to store images in all the fields such as medicine, engineering, industries. Mostly techniques like wavelet and discrete cosine transform have been implemented. Several techniques have been developed for lossy and lossless image compression, several techniques were developed. Image edges have limitations in capturing them if we make use 1-D wavelet transform simultaneously in 2 dimensions. This is because wavelet transform cannot effectively represent straight line discontinuities and be reconstructed in a proper manner like that of curvelet transform. The Curvelet Transform is more suitable for compressing images, which has more curved portions. Fast discrete curvelet transform is implemented is used that is implemented using stationary wavelet transform. The proposed method is tested on various medical images and the result shows better performance parameters like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Compression Ratio (CR) and Mean Square Error.

Huge number of individuals are influenced by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) which is hard to cure because of its endless nature and hereditary connection. The uncontrolled diabetes may prompt heart related issues. Along these lines, the diagnosis and checking of diabetes is of extraordinary significance. By utilizing RR-interval signals, the automatic detection of diabetes can be performed. The nature of RR-interval signals is nonlinear and non-stationary. Subsequently linear strategies will be unable to catch the hidden data introduce in the signal. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is recently used in a broad range of applications for extracting signals from data generated in nonlinear and non-stationary processes. However, it has an Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) consisting of signals of widely disparate scales. a new nonlinear method based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed in this paper to discriminate between normal RR-interval signals and diabetic. By using IMFs of RR-interval signals the different parameters are extracted namely, the mean frequency parameter using Fourier -Bessel series expansion, amplitude modulation bandwidth, frequency modulation bandwidth and area computed from second order difference plot, Mean average value, First difference, ZCR. SVM (support vector machine) classifier has been utilized to measure the discrimination ability of the proposed features for detection of diabetic RR interval signals. The Results achieved from this proposed methodology indicate that these features provide the important difference between normal classes and diabetic. By using developed algorithm, the accuracy of analysis is 95%.

In this work, real time stress level recognition from Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is proposed. Stress is a mental condition that effects the brain electrical activity to be different from the normal state. A system is designed to classify three levels of stress; Low Stress, Moderate Stress and High Stress. Validation of algorithm is carried out using by Stroop color-word test as stimuli to induce various levels of stress. EEG signals are collected using EEG reusable electrodes, which are placed on forehead scalp during the experiment. Measure of stress is taken by means of questionnaires method. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used for pre-processing and using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as the classifier. Further analysis of stress is done by using trained algorithm as reference. Signals collected are continually given to algorithm to verify stress, three levels of stress can be recognized. Stress levels of the person under test are seen on screen using graph.

The psychological disorders are generally appears in society. The prediction of such disorder is necessary in day to day life. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is neuronal activity of brain. A brain signal plays an important role for human disposition detection. EEG signals are non-linear in nature. In this paper, EEG signals are classified into four emotional states such as happy, angry, cry and sad. For development of such system the database which has been collected from the age group of 20 to 25 year old male and female both. In this system the wavelet transform used to measure statistical parameters. These parameters have been used to discriminate input signal based on the features, such as mean, mode, median, skewness, kurtosis etc. The Manhattan distance matrix concept of Hidden Markov Model has been used in this work to classify various dispositions. The Manhattan distance matrix compares trained dataset with input EEG signal. During experimentation on the EEG signal, it is observed that the various emotions like happy, angry, cry and sad are having unique and distinct feature set. The result indicates that signals bring more distinction between various dispositions from the EEG signals.

Speech is natural vocalized and primary means of communication. Speech is easy, hand-free, fast and do not require any technical knowledge. Communicating with computer using speech is simple and comfortable way for human being. Speech recognition system made this possible. The acoustic and language model for this system are available but mostly in English language. In India there are so many peoples who can't understand or speak English. So the speech recognition system in English language is of no use for these people. Here we presented Isolated Hindi words recognition system which is a part of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system. The main goal of ASR system understands a voice by computer or microphone and converts it into the text to perform required task. In this paper, we have used MFCC as feature extraction technique, Vector Quantization (VQ) with GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) for recognition of Hindi isolated words. For practical analysis we prepared the Hindi words speech dataset of different males and females speakers.

Emotions plays very important role in person's daily life. Estimating human emotions through Electroencephalogram (EEG) has become one of the challenging area today. The representation of electrical activity of human brain is an important feature of EEG signal. The emotion detection using EEG signal follows the steps of emotion elicitation stimuli, i.e, collection or creation of the database, pre-processing, feature extraction, feature reduction or selection and classification. The combination of Adaptive Filter (Finite Impulse Response, FIR), Time-Frequency Analysis (Daubechies Wavelet Transform) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier are used to detect the discrete emotions (happy, angry, sad and cry) of a human being using EEG signal.

Paper gives an idea about decomposition techniques used in Hilbert Hung transform empirically. A method explain here to excerpt important features like Maximum amplitude, Instantaneous frequency from Electrocardiogram signal to recognize Human emotions. Given algorithm analyzes Electrocardiogram signals empirically using HHT and decomposed into the Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF). These functions are used to extract the features using a hybrid approach of Hilbert Huang Transform. The decomposition technique which we adopt is a new technique for adaptively decomposing signals into various number of intrinsic mode functions. In this perspective, we have reported here potential usefulness of EMD based techniques. We evaluated the algorithm on Augsburg University Database; the manually annotated database.

Human emotion recognition is a hot research topic in medical and engineering field to provide interface between users and computers. A novel technique for Feature Extraction (FE) has been presented here. This method is feasible for analyzing the nonlinear and non-stationary signals like electrocardiogram signal (ECG), Electromyogram (EMG) etc. We have used electrocardiogram signal as an input, each signal has important functions, which has been extracted by applying empirical decomposition method. These functions are used to extract the features using fission and fusion process. The features extracted from every IMF are used to compose feature vector. The extracted features are useful to recognize human emotions from ECG signal. The decomposition technique which we adopt is a new technique for adaptively decomposing signals. In this perspective, we have reported here potential usefulness of EMD based techniques. We evaluated the algorithm on Augsburg University Database; the manually annotated database.
