Human locomotion is a coordinated motion between the upper and lower limbs, which should be considered in terms of both the user’s normal walking state and abnormal walking state for a walking-aid robot system. Therefore, a novel coordinated motion fusion-based walking-aid robot system was proposed. To develop the accurate human motion intention (HMI) of such robots when the user is in normal walking state, force-sensing resistor (FSR) sensors and a laser range finder (LRF) are used to detect the two HMIs expressed by the user’s upper and lower limbs. Then, a fuzzy logic control (FLC)-Kalman filter (LF)-based coordinated motion fusion algorithm is proposed to synthesize these two segmental HMIs to obtain an accurate HMI. A support vector machine (SVM)-based fall detection algorithm is used to detect whether the user is going to fall and to distinguish the user’s falling mode when he/she is in an abnormal walking state. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

The dynamic detection of human motion is important, which is widely applied in the fields of motion state capture and rehabilitation engineering. In this study, based on multimodal information of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of upper limb and triaxial acceleration and plantar pressure signals of lower limb, the effective virtual driving control and gait recognition methods were proposed. The effective way of wearable human posture detection was also constructed. Firstly, the moving average window and threshold comparison were used to segment the sEMG signals of the upper limb. The standard deviation and singular values of wavelet coefficients were extracted as the features. After the training and classification by optimized support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, the real-time detection and analysis of three virtual driving actions were performed. The average identification accuracy was 90.90%. Secondly, the mean, standard deviation, variance, and wavelet energy spectrum of triaxial acceleration were extracted, and these parameters were combined with plantar pressure as the gait features. The optimized SVM was selected for the gait identification, and the average accuracy was 90.48%. The experimental results showed that, through different combinations of wearable sensors on the upper and lower limbs, the motion posture information could be dynamically detected, which could be used in the design of virtual rehabilitation system and walking auxiliary system.

In order to solve the current traffic sign detection technology due to the interference of various complex factors, it is difficult to effectively carry out the correct detection of traffic signs, and the robustness is weak, a traffic sign detection algorithm based on the region of interest extraction and double filter is designed.First, in order to reduce environmental interference, the input image is preprocessed to enhance the main color of each logo.Secondly, in order to improve the extraction ability Of Regions Of Interest, a Region Of Interest (ROI) detector based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) and Wave Equation (WE) was defined, and candidate Regions were selected through the ROI detector.Then, an effective HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient) descriptor is introduced as the detection feature of traffic signs, and SVM (Support Vector Machine) is used to classify them into traffic signs or background.Finally, the context-aware filter and the traffic light filter are used to further identify the false traffic signs and improve the detection accuracy.In the GTSDB database, three kinds of traffic signs, which are indicative, prohibited and dangerous, are tested, and the results show that the proposed algorithm has higher detection accuracy and robustness compared with the current traffic sign recognition technology.

AbstractThis study investigates the medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) statistically at the low-latitude equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region in the northern hemisphere. We apply the automatic detection algorithm including the three-dimensional fast Fourier transform (3-D FFT) and support vector machine (SVM) on total electron content (TEC) observations, derived from a network of ground-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers in Taiwan (14.5° N geomagnetic latitude; 32.5° inclination), to identify MSTID from other waves or irregularity features. The obtained results are analyzed statistically to examine the behavior of low-latitude MSTIDs. Statistical results indicate the following characteristics. First, the southward (equatorward) MSTIDs are observed almost every day during 0800–2100 LT in Spring and Winter. At midnight, southward MSTIDs are more discernible in Summer and majority of them are propagating from Japan to Taiwan. Second, northward (poleward) MSTIDs are more frequently detected during 1200–2100 LT in Spring and Summer with the secondary peak of occurrence between day of year (DOY) 100–140 during 0000–0300 LT. The characteristics of the MSTIDs are interpreted with additional observations from radio occultation (RO) soundings of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC as well as modeled atmospheric waves from the high-resolution Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) suggesting that the nighttime MSTIDs in Summer is likely connected to the atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs).

Intrusion detection algorithm based on support vector machine with pre-extracting support vector is proposed which combines the center distance ratio and classification algorithm. Given proper thresholds, we can use the support vector as a substitute for the training examples. Then the scale of dataset is decreased and the performance of support vector machine is improved in the detection rate and the training time. The experiment result has shown that the intrusion detection system(IDS) based on support vector machine with pre-extracting support needs less training time under the same detection performance condition.

Arc faults in low-voltage electrical circuits are the main hidden cause of electric fires. Accurate identification of arc faults is essential for safe power consumption. In this paper, a detection algorithm for arc faults is tested in a low-voltage circuit. With capacitance coupling and a logarithmic detector, the high-frequency radiation characteristics of arc faults can be extracted. A rapid method for computing the current waveform slope characteristics of an arc fault provides another characteristic. Current waveform periodic integral characteristics can be extracted according to asymmetries of the arc faults. These three characteristics are used to develop a detection algorithm of arc faults based on multiinformation fusion and support vector machine learning models. The tests indicated that for series arc faults with single and combination loads and for parallel arc faults between metallic contacts and along carbonization paths, the recognition algorithm could effectively avoid the problems of crosstalk and signal loss during arc fault detection.

Human motion recognition based on inertial sensor is a new research direction in the field of pattern recognition. It carries out preprocessing, feature selection, and feature selection by placing inertial sensors on the surface of the human body. Finally, it mainly classifies and recognizes the extracted features of human action. There are many kinds of swing movements in table tennis. Accurately identifying these movement modes is of great significance for swing movement analysis. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, human movement recognition has made many breakthroughs in recent years, from machine learning to deep learning, from wearable sensors to visual sensors. However, there is not much work on movement recognition for table tennis, and the methods are still mainly integrated into the traditional field of machine learning. Therefore, this paper uses an acceleration sensor as a motion recording device for a table tennis disc and explores the three-axis acceleration data of four common swing motions. Traditional machine learning algorithms (decision tree, random forest tree, and support vector) are used to classify the swing motion, and a classification algorithm based on the idea of integration is designed. Experimental results show that the ensemble learning algorithm developed in this paper is better than the traditional machine learning algorithm, and the average recognition accuracy is 91%.
