Modeling of pneumatic artificial muscle using a hybrid artificial neural network approach

Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) actuator has been widely used in medical and rehabilitation robots, owing to its high power-to-weight ratio and inherent safety characteristics. However, the PAM exhibits highly non-linear and time variant behavior, due to compressibility of air, use of elastic-viscous material as core tube and pantographic motion of the PAM outer sheath. It is difficult to obtain a precise model using analytical modeling methods. This paper proposes a new Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based modeling approach for modeling PAM actuator. To obtain higher precision ANN model, three different approaches, namely, Back Propagation (BP) algorithm, Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach and hybrid approach combing BP algorithm with Modified Genetic Algorithm (MGA) are developed to optimize ANN parameters. Results show that the ANN model using the GA approach outperforms the BP algorithm, and the hybrid approach shows the best performance among the three approaches.

Saliency-directed color image interpolation using artificial neural network and particle swarm optimization

In this study, a saliency-directed color image interpolation approach using artificial neural network (ANN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. First, a high-quality saliency map of a color image to be interpolated is generated by a modified block-based visual attention model in an effective manner. Then, based on the saliency map, bilinear interpolation and ANN-PSO interpolation are employed for non-saliency (non-ROI) and saliency (ROI) blocks, respectively, to obtain the final color interpolation results. In the proposed ANN-PSO interpolation scheme, ANN is used to determine the orientation of each 5 × 5 image pattern (block), whereas PSO is employed to determine the weights in 5 × 5 interpolation filtering masks. The proposed approach is applicable to image interpolation with arbitrary magnification factors (MFs). Based on the experimental results obtained in this study, the color interpolation results by the proposed approach are better than those by five comparison approaches.

Atrial activity enhancement by Wiener filtering using an artificial neural network

This paper describes a novel technique for the cancellation of the ventricular activity for applications such as P-wave or atrial fibrillation detection. The procedure was thoroughly tested and compared with a previously published method, using quantitative measures of performance. The novel approach estimates, by means of a dynamic time delay neural network (TDNN), a time-varying, nonlinear transfer function between two ECG leads. Best results were obtained using an Elman TDNN with nine input samples and 20 neurons, employing a sigmoidal tangencial activation in the hidden layer and one linear neuron in the output stage. The method does not require a previous stage of QRS detection. The technique was quantitatively evaluated using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and compared with an adaptive cancellation scheme proposed in the literature. Results show the advantages of the proposed approach, and its robustness during noisy episodes and QRS morphology variations.

Multiple contour extraction from graylevel images using an artificial neural network.

For active contour modeling (ACM), we propose a novel self-organizing map (SOM)-based approach, called the batch-SOM (BSOM), that attempts to integrate the advantages of SOM- and snake-based ACMs in order to extract the desired contours from images. We employ feature points, in the form of an edge-map (as obtained from a standard edge-detection operation), to guide the contour (as in the case of SOM-based ACMs) along with the gradient and intensity variations in a local region to ensure that the contour does not "leak" into the object boundary in case of faulty feature points (weak or broken edges). In contrast with the snake-based ACMs, however, we do not use an explicit energy functional (based on gradient or intensity) for controlling the contour movement. We extend the BSOM to handle extraction of contours of multiple objects, by splitting a single contour into as many subcontours as the objects in the image. The BSOM and its extended version are tested on synthetic binary and gray-level images with both single and multiple objects. We also demonstrate the efficacy of the BSOM on images of objects having both convex and nonconvex boundaries. The results demonstrate the superiority of the BSOM over others. Finally, we analyze the limitations of the BSOM.
