Driver Identification

Driver-centered infotainment and telematics services are provided for intelligent vehicles that improve driver convenience. Driver-centered services are performed after identification, and a biometrics system using bio-signals is applied. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquired in the driving environment needs to be normalized because the intensity of noise is strong because the driver’s motion artifact is included. Existing time, frequency, and phase normalization methods have a problem of distorting P, QRS Complexes, and T waves, which are morphological features of an ECG, or normalizing to signals containing noise. In this paper, we propose an adaptive threshold filter-based driver identification system to solve the problem of distortion of the ECG morphological features when normalized and the motion artifact noise of the ECG that causes the identification performance deterioration in the driving environment. The experimental results show that the proposed method improved the average similarity compared to the results without normalization. The identification performance was also improved compared to the results before normalization.

New Feature

The feature vectors of speaker identification system plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the system. There are many new feature vectors extraction methods based on MFCC, but ultimately we want to maximize the performance of SID system.  The objective of this paper to derive Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC) based a new set of feature vectors using Gaussian Mixer model (GMM) for speaker identification. The MFCC are the default feature vectors for speaker recognition, but they are not very robust at the presence of additive noise. The GFCC features in recent studies have shown very good robustness against noise and acoustic change. The main idea is  GFCC features based on GMM feature extraction is to improve the overall speaker identification performance in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions.

The electronic reconnaissance system is the operational guarantee and premise of electronic warfare. It is an important tool for intercepting radar signals and providing intelligence support for sensing the battlefield situation. In this paper, a radar waveform automatic identification system for detecting, tracking and locating low probability interception (LPI) radar is studied. The recognition system can recognize 12 different radar waveform: binary phase shift keying (Barker codes modulation), linear frequency modulation (LFM), Costas codes, polytime codes (T1, T2, T3, and T4), and polyphase codes (comprising Frank, P1, P2, P3 and P4). First, the system performs time–frequency transform on the LPI radar signal to obtain a two-dimensional time–frequency image. Then, the time–frequency image is preprocessed (binarization and size conversion). The preprocessed time–frequency image is then sent to the convolutional neural network (CNN) for training. After the training is completed, the features of the fully connected layer are extracted. Finally, the feature is sent to the tree structure-based machine learning process optimization (TPOT) classifier to realize offline training and online recognition. The experimental results show that the overall recognition rate of the system reaches 94.42% when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is −4 dB.

Switches fault in power converter has become compelling issues over the years. To reduce cost and maintenance downtime, a good fault detection technique is an essential. In this paper, the performance of STFT and S transform techniques are analysed and compared for voltage source inverter (VSI) switches faults. The signal from phase current is represented in jointly time-frequency representation (TFR) to estimate signal parameters and characteristics. Then, the degree of accuracy for both STFT and S transform are determined by the lowest value of mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results demonstrate that S transform gives better accuracy compare to STFT and is suitable for VSI switches faults detection and identification system.

SHM is defined as “an emerging technology that can be defined as continuous, autonomous, real time, in-service monitoring of the physical condition of a structure by means of embedded or attached sensors with minimum manual intervention” .SHM provides the ability of a system to detect adverse changes within a system’s structure to enhance reliability and reduce maintenance costs. There are different Non-Destructive techniques like acoustic emission, ultrasonic, acousto-ultrasonic, guided ultrasonic waves or Lamb waves which are nowadays investigated for the development of an efficient and user-friendly damage identification system. This paper deals with the latter which is based on Lamb wave propagation. It has been developed especially for distinguishing different kinds of damages. The Lamb wave-based active SHM method uses piezoelectric (PZT) sensors to transmit and receive Lamb waves in a thin Aluminum plate. The Lamb wave modes (AO &SO) travel into the structure and are reflected by the structural boundaries, discontinuities, and damage. By studying their propagation and reflection, the presence of defect in the structure is determined. Laboratory level experiments have been carried out on thin Aluminum plates with angular, horizontal and vertical defect. The obtained waveform is filtered to avoid unwanted noise & disturbances using Savitzky-Golay filtering. The filtered waveforms are compared to differentiate the defects. Short Time Fourier Transform has been carried out on the acquired waveform. This study provides significant insight into the problem of identifying localized damages in the structure using PZT and dispersion of signal after they interact with different types of damage. Those small defects like the horizontal one that may be nearly missed in time domain analysis can also be clearly identified in the STFT analysis. Moreover the occurrence of So mode is also clearly seen. Thus, Lamb waves generated by PZT sensors and time-frequency analysis techniques could be used effectively for damage detection in aluminum plate. This study has given a complete idea of the working and the basic requirements of SHM system.

Detection And Identification

Voltage source inverter (VSI) plays an important roles in electrical drive systems. Consistently, expose to hash environmental condition, the lifespan of the electronic component such as insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) may shorten and many faults related to the inverter especially switches can be occur. The present of VSI switches faults causing equipment failure and increased the cost of manufacturing process. Therefore, faults detection analysis is mandatory to identify the VSI switches faults. This paper presents the analysis of VSI switches faults using time-frequency distributions (TFDs) which are short times Fourier transform (STFT) and spectrogram. From time-frequency representation (TFR) obtained by using the TFDs, parameters of the faults signal are estimated such as instantaneous of average, root mean square (RMS), fundamental, Total Waveform Distortion (TWD), Total Harmonics Distortion (THD) and Total non-Harmonic Distortion (TnHD) of current signals. Then, based on the characteristics of the faults calculated from the signal parameters, VSI switches faults can be detected and identified. The performance of TFD for the faults analysis is also demonstrated to obtain the best TFD for switches faults detection and identification system. The results show that, STFT is the best technique to classify and identify VSI switches faults and can be implemented for automated system.
