Automatic modulation recognition of radiation source signals based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual neural network

Automatic modulation recognition(AMR)of radiation source signals is a research focus in the field of cognitive radio.However,the AMR of radiation source signals at low SNRs still faces a great challenge.Therefore,the AMR method of radiation source signals based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual neural network is proposed in this paper.First,the time series of the radiation source signals are reconstructed into two-dimensional data matrix,which greatly simplifies the signal preprocessing process.Second,the depthwise convolution and large-size convolutional kernels based residual neural network(DLRNet)is proposed to improve the feature extraction capability of the AMR model.Finally,the model performs feature extraction and classification on the two-dimensional data matrix to obtain the recognition vector that represents the signal modulation type.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the AMR method based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual network can significantly improve the accuracy of the AMR method.The recognition accuracy of the proposed method maintains a high level greater than 90% even at -14 dB SNR.

Mandarin Chinese Tone Recognition with an Artificial Neural Network

Mandarin Chinese tone patterns vary in one of the four ways, i.e, (1) high level; (2) rising; (3) low falling and rising; and (4) high falling. The present study is to examine the efficacy of an artificial neural network in recognizing these tone patterns. Speech data were recorded from 12 children (3-6 years of age) and 15 adults. All subjects were native Mandarin Chinese speakers. The fundamental frequencies (F0) of each monosyllabic word of the speech data were extracted with an autocorrelation method. The pitch data(i.e., the F0 contours) were the inputs to a feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural network. The number of inputs to the neural network varied from 1 to 16 and the hidden layer of the network contained neurons that varied from 1 to 16 in number. The output of the network consisted of four neurons representing the four tone patterns of Mandarin Chinese. After being trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization, the neural network was able to successfully classify the tone patterns with an accuracy of about 90% correct for speech samples from both adults and children. The artificial neural network may provide an objective and effective way of assessing tone production in prelingually-deafened children who have received cochlear implants.

An Optimal Method for Speech Recognition Based on Neural Network

Natural language processing technologies have become more widely available in recent years,making them more useful in everyday situations.Machine learning systems that employ accessible datasets and corporate work to serve the whole spectrum of problems addressed in computational linguistics have lately yielded a number of promising breakthroughs.These methods were particularly advantageous for regional languages,as they were provided with cut-ting-edge language processing tools as soon as the requisite corporate information was generated.The bulk of modern people are unconcerned about the importance of reading.Reading aloud,on the other hand,is an effective technique for nour-ishing feelings as well as a necessary skill in the learning process.This paper pro-posed a novel approach for speech recognition based on neural networks.The attention mechanism isfirst utilized to determine the speech accuracy andfluency assessments,with the spectrum map as the feature extraction input.To increase phoneme identification accuracy,reading precision,for example,employs a new type of deep speech.It makes use of the exportchapter tool,which provides a corpus,as well as the TensorFlow framework in the experimental setting.The experimentalfindings reveal that the suggested model can more effectively assess spoken speech accuracy and readingfluency than the old model,and its evalua-tion model’s score outcomes are more accurate.

Graphic Processing Unit-Accelerated Neural Network Model for Biological Species Recognition

A graphic processing unit (GPU)-accelerated biological species recognition method using partially connected neural evolutionary network model is introduced in this paper. The partial connected neural evolutionary network adopted in the paper can overcome the disadvantage of traditional neural network with small inputs. The whole image is considered as the input of the neural network, so the maximal features can be kept for recognition. To speed up the recognition process of the neural network, a fast implementation of the partially connected neural network was conducted on NVIDIA Tesla C1060 using the NVIDIA compute unified device architecture (CUDA) framework. Image sets of eight biological species were obtained to test the GPU implementation and counterpart serial CPU implementation, and experiment results showed GPU implementation works effectively on both recognition rate and speed, and gained 343 speedup over its counterpart CPU implementation. Comparing to feature-based recognition method on the same recognition task, the method also achieved an acceptable correct rate of 84.6% when testing on eight biological species.

Underwater target recognition is a key technology for underwater acoustic countermeasure.How to classify and recognize underwater targets according to the noise information of underwater targets has been a hot topic in the field of underwater acoustic signals.In this paper,the deep learning model is applied to underwater target recognition.Improved anti-noise Power-Normalized Cepstral Coefficients(ia-PNCC)is proposed,based on PNCC applied to underwater noises.Multitaper and normalized Gammatone filter banks are applied to improve the anti-noise capacity.The method is combined with a convolutional neural network in order to recognize the underwater target.Experiment results show that the acoustic feature presented by ia-PNCC has lower noise and are wellsuited to underwater target recognition using a convolutional neural network.Compared with the combination of convolutional neural network with single acoustic feature,such as MFCC(Mel-scale Frequency Cepstral Coefficients)or LPCC(Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficients),the combination of the ia-PNCC with a convolutional neural network offers better accuracy for underwater target recognition.

A Human Body Posture Recognition Algorithm Based on BP Neural Network for Wireless Body Area Networks

Human body posture recognition has attracted considerable attention in recent years in wireless body area networks(WBAN). In order to precisely recognize human body posture,many recognition algorithms have been proposed.However, the recognition rate is relatively low. In this paper, we apply back propagation(BP) neural network as a classifier to recognizing human body posture, where signals are collected from VG350 acceleration sensor and a posture signal collection system based on WBAN is designed. Human body signal vector magnitude(SVM) and tri-axial acceleration sensor data are used to describe the human body postures. We are able to recognize 4postures: Walk, Run, Squat and Sit. Our posture recognition rate is up to 91.67%. Furthermore, we find an implied relationship between hidden layer neurons and the posture recognition rate. The proposed human body posture recognition algorithm lays the foundation for the subsequent applications.

Wear State Recognition of Drills Based on K-means Cluster and Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Drill wear not only affects the surface smoothness of the hole, but also influences the life of the drill. Drill wear state recognition is important in the manufacturing process, which consists of two steps： first, decomposing cutting torque components from the original signals by wavelet packet decomposition （WPD）; second, extracting wavelet coefficients of different wear states （i.e., slight, normal, or severe wear） with signal features adapting to Welch spectrum. Finally, monitoring and recognition of the feature vectors of cutting torque signal are performed by using the K-means cluster and radial basis function neural network （RBFNN）. The experiments on different tool wears of the multivariable features reveal that the results of monitoring and recognition are significant and effective.

WiFi CSI Gesture Recognition Based on Parallel LSTM-FCN Deep Space-Time Neural Network

In this study,we developed a system based on deep space–time neural networks for gesture recognition.When users change or the number of gesture categories increases,the accuracy of gesture recognition decreases considerably because most gesture recognition systems cannot accommodate both user differentiation and gesture diversity.To overcome the limitations of existing methods,we designed a onedimensional parallel long short-term memory–fully convolutional network(LSTM–FCN)model to extract gesture features of different dimensions.LSTM can learn complex time dynamic information,whereas FCN can predict gestures efficiently by extracting the deep,abstract features of gestures in the spatial dimension.In the experiment,50 types of gestures of five users were collected and evaluated.The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this system and robustness to various gestures and individual changes.Statistical analysis of the recognition results indicated that an average accuracy of approximately 98.9% was achieved.

GENERALIZED INVERSE GROUP OF SIGNAL AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION WITH NEURAL NETWORKS

A new concept, the generalized inverse group (GIG) of signal, is firstly proposed and its properties, leaking coefficients and implementation with neural networks are presented. Theoretical analysis and computational simulation have shown that (1) there is a group of finite length of generalized inverse signals for any given finite signal, which forms the GIG; (2) each inverse group has different leaking coefficients, thus different abnormal states; (3) each GIG can be implemented by a grouped and improved single-layer perceptron which appears with fast convergence. When used in deconvolution, the proposed GIG can form a new parallel finite length of filtering deconvolution method. On off-line processing, the computational time is reduced to O(N) from O(N2). And the less the leaking coefficient is, the more reliable the deconvolution will be.

Handwritten Numeric and Alphabetic Character Recognition and Signature Verification Using Neural Network

Handwritten signature and character recognition has become challenging research topic due to its numerous applications. In this paper, we proposed a system that has three sub-systems. The three subsystems focus on offline recognition of handwritten English alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), numeric characters (0 - 9) and individual signatures respectively. The system includes several stages like image preprocessing, the post-processing, the segmentation, the detection of the required amount of the character and signature, feature extraction and finally Neural Network recognition. At first, the scanned image is filtered after conversion of the scanned image into a gray image. Then image cropping method is applied to detect the signature. Then an accurate recognition is ensured by post-processing the cropped images. MATLAB has been used to design the system. The subsystems are then tested for several samples and the results are found satisfactory at about 97% success rate. The quality of the image plays a vital role as the images of poor or mediocre quality may lead to unsuccessful recognition and verification.

Dual-domain and Multiscale Fusion Deep Neural Network for PPG Biometric Recognition

Photoplethysmography(PPG)biometrics have received considerable attention.Although deep learning has achieved good performance for PPG biometrics,several challenges remain open:1)How to effectively extract the feature fusion representation from time and frequency PPG signals.2)How to effectively capture a series of PPG signal transition information.3)How to extract timevarying information from one-dimensional time-frequency sequential data.To address these challenges,we propose a dual-domain and multiscale fusion deep neural network(DMFDNN)for PPG biometric recognition.The DMFDNN is mainly composed of a two-branch deep learning framework for PPG biometrics,which can learn the time-varying and multiscale discriminative features from the time and frequency domains.Meanwhile,we design a multiscale extraction module to capture transition information,which consists of multiple convolution layers with different receptive fields for capturing multiscale transition information.In addition,the dual-domain attention module is proposed to strengthen the domain of greater contributions from time-domain and frequency-domain data for PPG biometrics.Experiments on the four datasets demonstrate that DMFDNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for PPG biometrics.

Neural network processing for adaptive line enhancement

This paper describes the inverstigation devoted to establish suitable weights in a feed-forward neural network realizing the narrow-band filtering map in the case of adaptive line enhanccment(ALE) by the utility of the optimum common learning rate back propagation (OCLR BP) algorithm. It is found that a feed-forward network with 64 linear input and output neurons, and 8 odd sigmoid neurons in the hidden layer, i.e. an (64→8→64) architecture, could establish the specific input-output function in the case of relatively low signal-to-noise radio. Only is an input signal consisting of mixed periodic and broad-band components available to the network system. After learning, both the 'fanning-in-connection patterns', each of which consists of weights fanning into a hidden-neuron from all the outputs of input-neurons, and the 'fanning-out-connection patterns', each of which consists of weights fanning out from a hidden-neuron to all the inputs of output-neurons, are tuned to the periodic signals. The nonlinear map formed by this neural network provided substantial improvement in performance over that formed by an Adaline-ALE with same frequency resolution.
