The real-time and accuracy of motion classification plays an essential role for the elderly or frail people in daily activities. This study aims to determine the optimal feature extraction and classification method for the activities of daily living (ADL). In the experiment, we collected surface electromyography (sEMG) signals from thigh semitendinosus, lateral thigh muscle, and calf gastrocnemius of the lower limbs to classify horizontal walking, crossing obstacles, standing up, going down the stairs, and going up the stairs. Firstly, we analyzed 11 feature extraction methods, including time domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain, and entropy. Additionally, a feature evaluation method was proposed, and the separability of 11 feature extraction algorithms was calculated. Then, combined with 11 feature algorithms, the classification accuracy and time of 55 classification methods were calculated. The results showed that the Gaussian Kernel Linear Discriminant Analysis (GK-LDA) with WAMP had the highest classification accuracy rate (96%), and the calculation time was below 80 ms. In this paper, the quantitative comparative analysis of feature extraction and classification methods was a benefit to the application for the wearable sEMG sensor system in ADL.

Classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is important in mental decoding for brain-computer interfaces (BCI). We introduced a feature extraction approach based on frequency domain analysis to improve the classification performance on different mental tasks using single-channel EEG. This biologically inspired method extracts the most discriminative spectral features from power spectral densities (PSDs) of the EEG signals. We applied our method on a dataset of six subjects who performed five different imagination tasks: (i) resting state, (ii) mental arithmetic, (iii) imagination of left hand movement, (iv) imagination of right hand movement, and (v) imagination of letter “A.” Pairwise and multiclass classifications were performed in single EEG channel using Linear Discriminant Analysis and Support Vector Machines. Our method produced results (mean classification accuracy of 83.06% for binary classification and 91.85% for multiclassification) that are on par with the state-of-the-art methods, using single-channel EEG with low computational cost. Among all task pairs, mental arithmetic versus letter imagination yielded the best result (mean classification accuracy of 90.29%), indicating that this task pair could be the most suitable pair for a binary class BCI. This study contributes to the development of single-channel BCI, as well as finding the best task pair for user defined applications.

The sand-filling method has been widely used in immersed tube tunnel engineering. However, for the problem of monitoring during the sand-filling process, the traditional methods can be inadequate for evaluating the state of sand deposits in real-time. Based on the high efficiency of elastic wave monitoring, and the superiority of the backpropagation (BP) neural network on solving nonlinear problems, a spatiotemporal monitoring and evaluation method is proposed for the filling performance of foundation cushion. Elastic wave data were collected during the sand-filling process, and the waveform, frequency spectrum, and time–frequency features were analysed. The feature parameters of the elastic wave were characterized by the time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain. By analysing the changes of feature parameters with the sand-filling process, the feature parameters exhibited dynamic and strong nonlinearity. The data of elastic wave feature parameters and the corresponding sand-filling state were trained to establish the evaluation model using the BP neural network. The accuracy of the trained network model reached 93%. The side holes and middle holes were classified and analysed, revealing the characteristics of the dynamic expansion of the sand deposit along the diffusion radius. The evaluation results are consistent with the pressure gauge monitoring data, indicating the effectiveness of the evaluation and monitoring model for the spatiotemporal performance of sand deposits. For the sand-filling and grouting engineering, the machine-learning method could offer a better solution for spatiotemporal monitoring and evaluation in a complex environment.

Aiming at the local fault diagnosis of planetary gearbox gears, a feature extraction method based on improved dynamic time warping (IDTW) is proposed. As a calibration matching algorithm, the dynamic time warping method can detect the differences between a set of time-domain signals. This paper applies the method to fault diagnosis. The method is simpler and more intuitive than feature extraction methods in the frequency domain and the time-frequency domain, avoiding their limitations and disadvantages. Due to the shortcomings of complex calculation, singularity and poor robustness, the paper proposes an improved method. Finally, the method is verified by envelope spectral feature analysis and the local fault diagnosis of gears is realised.

Summary Background: The process of automatic sleep stage scoring consists of two major parts: feature extraction and classification. Features are normally extracted from the polysomno-graphic recordings, mainly electroencephalograph (EEG) signals. The EEG is considered a non-stationary signal which increases the complexity of the detection of different waves in it. Objectives: This work presents a new technique for automatic sleep stage scoring based on employing continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) using different mother wavelets to detect different waves embedded in the EEG signal. Methods: The use of different mother wave-lets increases the ability to detect waves in the EEG signal. The extracted features were formed based on CWT time frequency entropy using three mother wavelets, and the classification was performed using the linear discriminant analysis. Thirty-two data sets from the MIT-BIH database were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Results: Features of a single EEG signal were extracted successfully based on the time frequency entropy using the continuous wavelet transform with three mother wavelets. The proposed method has shown to outperform the classification based on a CWT using a single mother wavelet. The accuracy was found to be 0.84, while the kappa coefficient was 0.78. Conclusions: This work has shown that wavelet time frequency entropy provides a powerful tool for feature extraction for the non-stationary EEG signal; the accuracy of the classification procedure improved when using multiple wavelets compared to the use of single wavelet time frequency entropy.

Abstract In this work, PD patients and healthy individuals were categorized with machine-learning algorithms. EEG signals associated with six different emotions, (Happiness(E1), Sadness(E2), Fear(E3), Anger(E4), Surprise,(E5) and disgust(E6)) were used for the study. EEG data were collected from 20 PD patients and 20 normal controls using multimodal stimuli. Different features were used to categorize emotional data. Emotional recognition in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been investigated in three domains namely, time, frequency and time frequency using Entropy, Energy-Entropy and Teager Energy-Entropy features. Three classifiers namely, K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, Support Vector Machine and Probabilistic Neural Network were used to observethe classification results. Emotional EEG stimuli such as anger, surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, and disgust were used to categorize PD patients and healthy controls (HC). For each EEG signal, frequency features corresponding to alpha, beta and gamma bands were obtained for nine feature extraction methods (Entropy, Energy Entropy, Teager Energy Entropy, Spectral Entropy, Spectral Energy-Entropy, Spectral Teager Energy-Entropy, STFT Entropy, STFT Energy-Entropy and STFT Teager Energy-Entropy). From the analysis, it is observed that the entropy feature in frequency domain performs evenly well (above 80 %) for all six emotions with KNN. Classification results shows that using the selected energy entropy combination feature in frequency domain provides highest accuracy for all emotions except E1 and E2 for KNN and SVM classifier, whereas other features give accuracy values of above 60% for most emotions.It is also observed that emotion E1 gives above 90 % classification accuracy for all classifiers in time domain.In frequency domain also, emotion E1 gives above 90% classification accuracy using PNN classifier.

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals have been used in human motion intention recognition, which has significant application prospects in the fields of rehabilitation medicine and cognitive science. However, some valuable dynamic information on upper-limb motions is lost in the process of feature extraction for sEMG signals, and there exists the fact that only a small variety of rehabilitation movements can be distinguished, and the classification accuracy is easily affected. To solve these dilemmas, first, a multiscale time–frequency information fusion representation method (MTFIFR) is proposed to obtain the time–frequency features of multichannel sEMG signals. Then, this paper designs the multiple feature fusion network (MFFN), which aims at strengthening the ability of feature extraction. Finally, a deep belief network (DBN) was introduced as the classification model of the MFFN to boost the generalization performance for more types of upper-limb movements. In the experiments, 12 kinds of upper-limb rehabilitation actions were recognized utilizing four sEMG sensors. The maximum identification accuracy was 86.10% and the average classification accuracy of the proposed MFFN was 73.49%, indicating that the time–frequency representation approach combined with the MFFN is superior to the traditional machine learning and convolutional neural network.

The connection between music and human are very synonyms because music could reduce stress. The state of stress could be measured using EEG signal, an electroencephalogram (EEG) measurement which contains an arousal and valence index value. In previous studies, it is found that the Matthew Correlation Coefficient (MCC) performance accuracy is of 85±5%. The arousal indicates strong emotion, and valence indicates positive and negative degree of emotion. Arousal and valence values could be used to measure the accuracy performance. This research focuses on the enhance MCC parameter equation based on arousal and valence values to perform the maximum accuracy percentage in the frequency domain and time-frequency domain analysis. Twenty-one features were used to improve the significance of feature extraction results and the investigated arousal and valence value. The substantial feature extraction involved alpha, beta, delta and theta frequency bands in measuring the arousal and valence index formula. Based on the results, the arousal and valance index is accepted to be applied as parameters in the MCC equations. However, in certain cases, the improvement of the MCC parameter is required to achieve a high accuracy percentage and this research proposed Matthew correlation coefficient advanced (MCCA) in order to improve the performance result by using a six sigma method. In conclusion, the MCCA equation is established to enhance the existing MCC parameter to improve the accuracy percentage up to 99.9% for the arousal and valence index.
