Every year, injuries associated with fall incidences cause lots of human suffering and assets loss for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Thereinto, freezing of gait (FOG), which is one of the most common symptoms of PD, is quite responsible for most incidents. Although lots of researches have been done on characterized analysis and detection methods of FOG, large room for improvement still exists in the high accuracy and high efficiency examination of FOG. In view of the above requirements, this paper presents a template-matching-based improved subsequence Dynamic Time Warping (IsDTW) method, and experimental tests were carried out on typical open source datasets. Results show that, compared with traditional template-matching and statistical learning methods, proposed IsDTW not only embodies higher experimental accuracy (92%) but also has a significant runtime efficiency. By contrast, IsDTW is far more available in real-time practice applications.

Traditional gun archiving methods are mostly carried out through bullets’ physics or photography, which are inefficient and difficult to trace, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale archiving. Aiming at such problems, a rapid archival technology of bullets based on graph convolutional neural network has been studied and developed. First, the spot laser is used to take the circle points of the bullet rifling traces. The obtained data is filtered and noise-reduced to make the corresponding line graph, and then the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm convolutional neural network model is used to perform the processing on the processed data. Not only is similarity matched, the rapid matching of the rifling of the bullet is also accomplished. Comparison of experimental results shows that this technology has the advantages of rapid archiving and high accuracy. Furthermore, it can be carried out in large numbers at the same time, and is more suitable for practical promotion and application.

Kertas kerja ini membentangkan pemprosesan semula ciri pertuturan pemalar Pengekodan Ramalan Linear (LPC) bagi menyediakan template rujukan yang boleh diharapkan untuk set perkataan yang hendak dicam menggunakan rangkaian neural buatan. Kertas kerja ini juga mencadangkan penggunaan cirian kenyaringan yang ditakrifkan dari data pertuturan sebagai satu lagi ciri input. Algoritma Warping Masa Dinamik (DTW) menjadi asas kepada algoritma baru yang dibangunkan, ia dipanggil sebagai DTW padanan bingkai (DTW–FF). Algoritma ini direka bentuk untuk melakukan padanan bingkai bagi pemprosesan semula input LPC. Ia bertujuan untuk menyamakan bilangan bingkai input dalam set ujian dengan set rujukan. Pernormalan bingkaian ini adalah diperlukan oleh rangkaian neural yang direka untuk membanding data yang harus mempunyai kepanjangan yang sama, sedangkan perkataan yang sama dituturkan dengan kepanjangan yang berbeza–beza. Dengan melakukan padanan bingkai, bingkai input dan rujukan boleh diubahsuai supaya bilangan bingkaian sama seperti bingkaian rujukan. Satu lagi misi kertas kerja ini ialah mentakrif dan menggunakan cirian kenyaringan menggunakan algoritma penapis harmonik. Selepas kenyaringan ditakrif dan pemalar LPC dinormalkan kepada bilangan bingkaian dikehendaki, pengecaman pertuturan menggunakan rangkaian neural dilakukan. Keputusan yang baik diperoleh sehingga mencapai ketepatan setinggi 98% menggunakan kombinasi cirian DTW–FF dan cirian kenyaringan. Di akhir kertas kerja ini, perbandingan kadar convergence antara Conjugate gradient descent (CGD), Quasi–Newton, dan Steepest Gradient Descent (SGD) dilakukan untuk mendapatkan arah carian titik global yang optimal. Keputusan menunjukkan CGD memberikan nilai titik global yang paling optimal dibandingkan dengan Quasi–Newton dan SGD. Kata kunci: Warping masa dinamik, pernormalan masa, rangkaian neural, pengecaman pertuturan, conjugate gradient descent A pre–processing of linear predictive coefficient (LPC) features for preparation of reliable reference templates for the set of words to be recognized using the artificial neural network is presented in this paper. The paper also proposes the use of pitch feature derived from the recorded speech data as another input feature. The Dynamic Time Warping algorithm (DTW) is the back–bone of the newly developed algorithm called DTW fixing frame algorithm (DTW–FF) which is designed to perform template matching for the input preprocessing. The purpose of the new algorithm is to align the input frames in the test set to the template frames in the reference set. This frame normalization is required since NN is designed to compare data of the same length, however same speech varies in their length most of the time. By doing frame fixing, the input frames and the reference frames are adjusted to the same number of frames according to the reference frames. Another task of the study is to extract pitch features using the Harmonic Filter algorithm. After pitch extraction and linear predictive coefficient (LPC) features fixed to a desired number of frames, speech recognition using neural network can be performed and results showed a very promising solution. Result showed that as high as 98% recognition can be achieved using combination of two features mentioned above. At the end of the paper, a convergence comparison between conjugate gradient descent (CGD), Quasi–Newton, and steepest gradient descent (SGD) search direction is performed and results show that the CGD outperformed the Newton and SGD. Key words: Dynamic time warping, time normalization, neural network, speech recognition, conjugate gradient descent

This paper expresses an application of similarity matching of the signatures through DTW.Fundamental aspect of classification is template matching. The classification is robust tonoise, scaling, and rotation. Feature includes radius plus angle along the boundary points withrespect to center of gravity.

A dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm has been suggested for the purpose of devising a motion-sensitive microelectronic system for the realization of remote motion abnormality detection. In combination with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), the algorithm is potentially applicable for remotely monitoring patients who are at risk of certain exceptional motions. The fixed interval signal sampling mechanism has normally been adopted when devising motion detection systems; however, dynamically capturing the particular motion patterns from the IMU motion sensor can be difficult. To this end, the DTW algorithm, as a kind of nonlinear pattern-matching approach, is able to optimally align motion signal sequences tending towards time-varying or speed-varying expressions, which is especially suitable to capturing exceptional motions. Thus, this paper evaluated this kind of abnormality detection using the proposed DTW algorithm on the basis of its theoretical fundamentals to significantly enhance the viability of the methodology. To validate the methodological viability, an artificial neural network (ANN) framework was intentionally introduced for performance comparison. By incorporating two types of designated preprocessors, i.e., a DFT interpolation preprocessor and a convolutional preprocessor, to equalize the unequal lengths of the matching sequences, two kinds of ANN frameworks were enumerated to compare the potential applicability. The comparison eventually confirmed that the direct template-matching DTW is excellent in practical application for the detection of time-varying or speed-varying abnormality, and reliably captures the consensus exceptions.

Motor neuron patients such as paralysis, locking syndrome, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can see and hear what is happening in their environment, but cannot communicate with their environment. It is very important for these patients, who do not have any physical function other than eye movements, to be able to express their needs, feelings and thoughts. Therefore, to express the thoughts, needs and feelings of these patients, a system that converts eye-blink signals to speech was developed in this study. The main purpose of the designed system is high accuracy, low cost, high speed and independence from environmental factors. Undoubtedly, it is also very important that it causes as little discomfort to the patient as possible. Morse-coded signals generated by voluntary eye-blinks and the single-channel wireless NeuroSky MindWave Mobile device eliminates the need for cost-increasing equipment such as a camera or eye tracker and environmental factors such as light. With the use of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), an algorithm which works at high speed and high accuracy at the time domain and does not require any training process has been implemented. In this way, the recorded speech was performed with a quite impressive accuracy.
