The article presents a proposal for the synthesis of the instantaneous value of the output voltage of a multi-level cascade voltage inverter. An analytical method of determining the set of Haar orthogonal wavelets and a proposal for the synthesis of the output waveforms of the inverter based on the wavelet transform are described. On the basis of the Haar wavelet, signals controlling the keys of two-level inverters connected in cascade and forming a multi-level voltage inverter were calculated. A simulation of the cooperation of such an inverter with a resistive-inductive load was carried out and the influence of the change of the time constant on the course of the output voltage was demonstrated.

High-impedance fault HIF occurs when an energized conductor makes contact with a surface with a high impedance. Conventional overcurrent protection cannot detect this fault due to the low fault current, and there is no effective protection for HIFs. This paper introduces a novel method for detecting HIFs in low voltage distribution systems by decomposing neutral current using Wavelet and FFT. Modeling HIF fault data in Matlab to analyze the proposed scheme. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately detect HIF and distinguish it.

Wavelet based seizure detection is an importance topic for epilepsy diagnosis via electroencephalogram (EEG), but its performance is closely related to the choice of wavelet bases. To overcome this issue, a fusion method of wavelet packet transformation (WPT), Hilbert transform based bidirectional least squares grey transform (HTBiLSGT), modified binary grey wolf optimization (MBGWO) and fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor (FKNN) was proposed. The HTBiLSGTwas first proposed to model the envelope change of a signal, then WPT based HTBiLSGT was developed for EEG feature extraction by performing HTBiLSGT for each subband of each wavelet level. To select discriminative features, MBGWO was further put forward and employed to conduct feature selection, and the selected features were finally fed into FKNN for classification. The Bonn and CHB-MIT EEG datasets were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Experimental results indicate the proposed WPT based HTBiLSGT, MBGWO and FKNN can respectively lead to the highest accuracies of 100% and 98.60 ± 1.35% for the ternary and quinary classification cases of Bonn dataset, it also results in the overall accuracy of 99.48 ± 0.61 for the CHB-MIT dataset, and the proposal is proven to be insensitive to the choice of wavelet bases.

Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduction in the capability of muscle to exert force or power. Although surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during exercise have been used to assess muscle fatigue, analyzing the sEMG signal during dynamic contractions is difficult because of the many signal distorting factors such as electrode movements, and variations in muscle tissue conductivity. Besides the non-deterministic and non-stationary nature of sEMG in dynamic contractions, no fatigue indicator is available to predict the ability of a muscle to apply force based on the sEMG signal properties. In this study, we designed and manufactured a novel wearable sensor system with both sEMG electrodes and motion tracking sensors to monitor the dynamic muscle movements of human subjects. We detected the state of muscle fatigue using a new wavelet analysis method to predict the maximum isometric force the subject can apply during dynamic contraction. Our method of signal processing consists of four main steps. 1- Segmenting sEMG signals using motion tracking signals. 2- Determine the most suitable mother wavelet for discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) based on cross-correlation between wavelets and signals. 3- Deoinsing the sEMG using the DWT method. 4- Calculation of normalized energy in different decomposition levels to predict maximal voluntary isometric contraction force as an indicator of muscle fatigue. The monitoring system was tested on healthy adults doing biceps curl exercises, and the results of the wavelet decomposition method were compared to well-known muscle fatigue indices in the literature.

In order to achieve the accurate identifications of various electroencephalograms (EEGs) and electrocardiograms (ECGs), a unified framework of wavelet scattering transform (WST), bidirectional weighted two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis (BW(2D)2PCA) and grey wolf optimization based kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) was put forward in this study. To extract more discriminating features in the WST domain, the BW(2D)2PCA was proposed based on original two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis, by considering both the contribution of eigenvalue and the variation of two adjacent eigenvalues. Totally fifteen classification tasks of classifying normal vs interictal vs ictal EEGs, non-seizure vs seizure EEGs and normal vs congestive heart failure (CHF) ECGs were investigated. Applying patient non-specific strategy, the proposed scheme reported ACCs of no less than 99.300 ± 0.121 % for all the thirteen classification cases of Bonn dataset in classifying normal vs interictal vs ictal EEGs, MCC of 90.947 ± 0.128 % in distinguishing non-seizure vs seizure EEGs of CHB-MIT dataset, and MCC of 99.994 ± 0.001 % in identifying normal vs CHF ECGs of BBIH dataset. Experimental results indicate BW(2D)2PCA based framework outperforms (2D)2PCA based scheme, the high-performance results manifest the effectiveness of the proposed framework and our proposal is superior to most existing approaches.

The paper presents the results of a research on the application of wavelet transforms for distinguishing the operating states of overhead HV transmission lines with increased capacity. In such lines, the allowable loads are considerably higher than in traditional solutions. However, the increased permissible load causes the impedance phasors for these states and short-circuit states are closer together. This can cause the line to be tripped by distance protection for high loads.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Prediction of response to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) antidepressants in patients with MDD is necessary for preventing side effects of mistreatment. In this study, a deep Transfer Learning (TL) strategy based on powerful pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the big data datasets is developed for classification of Responders and Non-Responders (R/NR) to SSRI antidepressants, using 19-channel Electroencephalography (EEG) signal acquired from 30 MDD patients in the resting state. Multiple time-frequency images are obtained from each EEG channel using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) for feeding into pre-trained CNN models that are VGG16, Xception, DenseNet121, MobileNetV2 and InceptionResNetV2. Our plan is to adapt and fine-tune the weights of networks to the target task with the small-sized dataset. Finally, to improve the recognition performance, an ensemble method based on majority voting of outputs of five mentioned deep TL architectures has been developed. Results indicate that the best performance among basic models achieved by DenseNet121 with accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 95.74%, 95.56% and 95.64%, respectively. An Ensemble of these basic models created to surpass the accuracy obtained by each individual basic model. Our experiments show that ensemble model can gain accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 96.55%, 96.01% and 96.95%, respectively. Therefore, proposed ensemble of TL strategy of pre-trained CNN models based on WT images obtained from EEG signal can be used for antidepressants treatment outcome prediction with a high accuracy.

The analysis of protein coding regions of DNA sequences is one of the most fundamental applications in bioinformatics. A number of model-independent approaches have been developed for differentiating between the protein-coding and non-protein-coding regions of DNA. However, these methods are often based on univariate analysis algorithms, which leads to the loss of joint information among four nucleotides of DNA. In this article, we introduce a method on basis of the noise-assisted multivariate empirical mode decomposition (NA-MEMD) and the modified Gabor-wavelet transform (MGWT). The NA-MEMD algorithm, as a multivariate analysis tool, is utilized to reconstruct the numerical analyzed sequence since it enables a matched-scale decomposition across all variables and eliminates the mode mixing. By virtues of NA-MEMD, the MGWT method achieves a stable improvement on the general identification performance. We compare our method with other Digital Signal Processing (DSP) methods on two representative DNA sequences and three benchmark datasets. The results reveal that our method can enhance the spectra of the analyzed sequences, and improve the robustness of MGWT to different DNA sequences, thus obtaining higher identification accuracies of protein coding regions over other applied methods. In addition, another comparative experiment with the model-dependent method (AUGUSTUS) on the recently proposed benchmark dataset G3PO verifies the superiority of model-independent methods (especially NA-MEMD-MGWT) for identifying coding regions of the poor-quality DNA sequences.

Deep brain simulations play an important role to study physiological and neuronal behavior during Parkinson’s disease (PD). Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals may faithfully represent the changes that occur during PD in the brain. But manual analysis of EEG signals is tedious, and time consuming as these signals are complex, non-linear, and non-stationary nature. Therefore EEG signals are required to decompose into multiple subbands (SBs) to get detailed and representative information from it. Experimental selection of basis function for the decomposition may cause system degradation due to information loss and an increased number of misclassification. To address this, an automated tunable Q wavelet transform (A-TQWT) is proposed for automatic decomposition. A-TQWT extracts representative SBs for analysis and provides better reconstruction for the synthesis of EEG signals by automatically selecting the tuning parameters. Five features are extracted from the SBs and classified different machine learning techniques. EEG dataset of 16 healthy controls (HC) and 15 PD (ON and OFF medication) subjects obtained from ”openneuro” is used to develop the automated model. We have aimed to develop an automated model that effectively classify HC subjects from PD patients with and without medication. The proposed method yielded an accuracy of 96.13% and 97.65% while the area under the curve of 97% and 98.56% for the classification of HC vs PD OFF medication and HC vs PD ON medication using least square support vector machine, respectively.

Background: Mental fatigue is one of the most causes of road accidents. Identification of biological tools and methods such as electroencephalogram (EEG) are invaluable to detect them at early stage in hazard situations. Methods: In this paper, an expert automatic method based on brain region connectivity for detecting fatigue is proposed. The recorded general data during driving in both fatigue (the last five minutes) and alert (at the beginning of driving) states are used in analyzing the method. In this process, the EEG data during continuous driving in one to two hours are noted. The new feature of Gaussian Copula Mutual Information (GCMI) based on wavelet coefficients is calculated to detect brain region connectivity. Classification for each subject is then done through selected optimal features using the support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel. Results: The designed technique can classify trials with 98.1% accuracy. The most significant contributions to the selected features are the wavelet coefficients details 1_2 (corresponding to the Beta and Gamma frequency bands) in the central and temporal regions. In this paper, a new algorithm for channel selection is introduced that has been able to achieve 97.2% efficiency by selecting eight channels from 30 recorded channels. Conclusion: The obtained results from the classification are compared with other methods, and it is proved that the proposed method accuracy is higher from others at a significant level. The technique is completely automatic, while the calculation load could be reduced remarkably through selecting the optimal channels implementing in real-time systems.

Manual interpretation of heart sounds is insensitive and prone to subjectivity. Automated diagnosis systems incorporating artificial intelligence and advanced signal processing tools can potentially increase the sensitivity of disease detection and reduce the subjectiveness. This study proposes a novel method for the automated binary classification of heart sound signals using the Fano-factor constrained tunable quality wavelet transform (TQWT) technique. Optimal TQWT based decomposition can reveal significant information in subbands for the reconstruction of events of interest. While transforming heart sound signals using TQWT, the Fano-factor is applied as a thresholding parameter to select the subbands for the clinically relevant reconstruction of signals. TQWT parameters and threshold of the Fanofactor are tuned using a genetic algorithm (GA) to adapt to the underlying optimal detection performance. The time and frequency domain features are extracted from the reconstructed signals. Overall 15 unique features are extracted from each sub-frame resulting in a total feature set of 315 features for each epoch. The resultant features are fed to Light Gradient Boosting Machine model to perform binary classification of the heart sound recordings. The proposed framework is validated using a ten-fold cross-validation scheme and attained sensitivity of 89.30%, specificity of 91.20%, and overall score of 90.25%. Further, synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) is applied to produce balanced data set which yielded sensitivity and specificity of 86.32% and 99.44% respectively and overall score of 92.88%. Our developed model can be used in digital stethoscopes to automatically detect abnormal heart sounds and aid the clinicians in their diagnosis.

Motivated by ideas from two-step models and combining second-order TV regularization in the LLT model, we propose a coupling model for MR image reconstruction. By applying the variables splitting technique, the split Bregman iterative scheme, and the alternating minimization method twice, we can divide the proposed model into several subproblems only related to second-order PDEs so as to avoid solving a fourth-order PDE. The solution of every subproblem is based on generalized shrinkage formulas, the shrink operator or the diagonalization technique of the Fourier transform, and hence can be obtained very easily. By means of the Barzilai–Borwein step size selection scheme, an ADMM type algorithm is proposed to solve the equations underlying the proposed model. The results of numerical implementation demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm.

Embedding entropies are powerful indicators in quantifying the complexity of signal, but most of them are only applicable for real-valued signal and the phase information is ignored if the analyzed signal is complex-valued. To assess the complexity of complex-valued signal, a new entropy called complex-valued distribution entropy (CVDistEn) was first proposed in this study. Two rules, namely equal width criterion and equal area criterion, were employed to demarcate the complex-valued space and two kinds of CVDistEn, i.e., CVDistEn1 and CVDistEn2 were raised. Furthermore, two novel feature extraction methods: (1) flexible analytic wavelet transform (FAWT)-based CVDistEn1 and logarithmic energy (LE) (FAWTC1L), (2) FAWT-based CVDistEn2 and LE (FAWTC2L) were subsequently put forward to characterize the interictal and ictal EEGs. Fuzzy k-nearest neighbors (FKNN) classifier was finally employed to classify these two types of EEGs automatically. Experiment results show the fusion method of FAWTC1L and FKNN leads to the best accuracies (ACCs)/Matthews correlation coefficients (MCCs) of 99.99%/99.97% and 100%/100% for Bonn and Neurology & Sleep Centre EEG datasets, respectively, while the other fusion scheme of FAWTC2L and FKNN results in the highest ACCs/MCCs of 99.97%/99.93% and 99.94%/99.89% for the same datasets. The proposed methods outperform other entropy-related seizure detection schemes and most of state-of-the-art techniques, they provide another new way for automated seizure detection in EEG.

Epilepsy is a widely spread neurological disorder caused due to the abnormal excessive neural activity which can be diagnosed by inspecting the electroencephalography (EEG) signals visually. The manual inspection of EEG signals is subjected to human error and is a tedious process. Further, an accurate diagnosis of generalized and focal epileptic seizures from normal EEG signals is vital for the supervision of pertinent treatment, life advancement of the subjects, and reduction in cost for the subjects. Hence the development of automatic detection of generalized and focal epileptic seizures from normal EEG signals is important. An approach based on tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT), entropies, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed in this work for detection of epileptic seizures and its types. Two EEG databases namely, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS) EEG database and Temple University Hospital (TUH) database consisting of normal, generalized and focal EEG signals is used in this work to analyze the performance of the proposed approach. Initially, the EEG signals are decomposed into sub-bands using TQWT and the non-linear features like log energy entropy, Shannon entropy and Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) entropy is computed from each sub-band. The informative features from the computed feature vectors are selected using PSO and fed into ANN for the classification of EEG signals. The proposed algorithm for KITS database achieved a maximum accuracy of 100% for four experimental cases namely, (i) normal-focal, (ii) normal-generalised, (iii) normal-focal + generalised and (iv) normal-focal-generalised. The TUH database achieved an accuracy of 95.1%, 97.4%, 96.2% and 88.8% for the four experimental cases. The proposed approach is promising and able to discriminate the epileptic seizure types with satisfactory classification performance.

This study investigates the properties of the brain electrical activity from different recording regions and physiological states for seizure detection. Neurophysiologists will find the work useful in the timely and accurate detection of epileptic seizures of their patients. We explored the best way to detect meaningful patterns from an epileptic Electroencephalogram (EEG). Signals used in this work are 23.6 s segments of 100 single channel surface EEG recordings collected with the sampling rate of 173.61 Hz. The recorded signals are from five healthy volunteers with eyes closed and eyes open, and intracranial EEG recordings from five epilepsy patients during the seizure-free interval as well as epileptic seizures. Feature engineering was done using; i) feature extraction of each EEG wave in time, frequency and time-frequency domains via Butterworth filter, Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transform respectively and, ii) feature selection with T-test, and Sequential Forward Floating Selection (SFFS). SVM and KNN learning algorithms were applied to classify preprocessed EEG signal. Performance comparison was based on Accuracy, Sensitivity and Specificity. Our experiments showed that SVM has a slight edge over KNN.

In this study, the feedforward neural networks (FFNNs) were proposed to forecast the multi-day-ahead streamfow. The parameters of FFNNs model were optimized utilizing genetic algorithm (GA). Moreover, discrete wavelet transform was utilized to enhance the accuracy of FFNNs model’s forecasting. Therefore, the wavelet-based feedforward neural networks (WFFNNs-GA) model was developed for the multi-day-ahead streamfow forecasting based on three evolutionary strategies [i.e., multi-input multi-output (MIMO), multi-input single-output (MISO), and multi-input several multi-output (MISMO)]. In addition, the developed models were evaluated utilizing fve diferent statistical indices including root mean squared error, signal-to-noise ratio, correlation coefcient, Nash–Sutclife efciency, and peak fow criteria. Results provided that the statistical values of WFFNNs-GA model based on MISMO evolutionary strategy were superior to those of WFFNNs-GA model based on MISO and MIMO evolutionary strategies for the multi-day-ahead streamfow forecasting. Results indicated that the performance of WFFNNs-GA model based on MISMO evolutionary strategy provided the best accuracy. Results also explained that the hybrid model suggested better performance compared with stand-alone model based on the corresponding evolutionary strategies. Therefore, the hybrid model can be an efcient and robust implement to forecast the multi-day-ahead streamfow in the Chellif River, Algeria.

The useful life time of equipment is an important variable related to system prognosis, and its accurate estimation leads to several competitive advantage in industry. In this paper, Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) prediction is estimated by Particle Swarm optimized Support Vector Machines (PSO+SVM) considering two possible pre-processing techniques to improve input quality: Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Wavelet Transforms (WT). Here, EMD and WT coupled with SVM are used to predict RUL of bearing from the IEEE PHM Challenge 2012 big dataset. Specifically, two cases were analyzed: considering the complete vibration dataset and considering truncated vibration dataset. Finally, predictions provided from models applying both pre-processing techniques are compared against results obtained from PSO+SVM without any pre-processing approach. As conclusion, EMD+SVM presented more accurate predictions and outperformed the other models.

Prognozy otrzymane na podstawie modeli, w których zastosowano obie techniki przetwarzania wstępnego porównano z wynikami uzyskanymi za pomocą PSO + SVM bez wstępnego przetwarzania danych. Wyniki pokazały, że model EMD + SVM generował dokładniejsze prognozy i tym samym przewyższał pozostałe badane modele.

The aim of this paper is to detect the single line to ground fault on the unit generator- transformer. A new ground fault detection scheme based on the extraction of energy and statistical parameters from wavelet transform based neural network is proposed. The faulty current signals obtained from a simulation were decomposed through wavelet analysis into various approximations and details. The simulation of the unit generator-transformer was carried out using the Sim-PowerSystem Blockset of MATLAB. The energy and statistical parameters analysis involved measured of the dispersion factors (range and standard deviation) of wavelet coefficients. Regarding the ANN performance, the errors in the SLGfault detection of ANN were under 1 %. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm was accurate enough in differentiating a single line to ground fault and un-fault for a unit generator-transformer.
