In a smart manufacturing system involving workers, recognition of the worker’s activity can be used for quantification and evaluation performance, as well to provide onsite instructions with augmented reality. this paper, we propose method using Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) surface electromyography (sEMG) signals obtained from Myo armband. The raw 10-channel IMU are stacked form signal image. This image is transformed into an by applying Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) then fed...
Production innovations are occurring faster than ever. Manufacturing workers thus need to frequently learn new methods and skills. In fast changing, largely uncertain production systems, manufacturers with the ability comprehend workers’ behavior assess their operation performance in near real-time will achieve better peers. Action recognition can serve this purpose. Despite that human action has been an active field of study machine learning, limited work done for recognizing worker actions...
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) typically leverages semantic knowledge and textual descriptions of classes to forge connections between seen unseen classes. ZSL can classify new categories data in the training set. Prior research has focused on aligning image features with their corresponding auxiliary information, overlooking limitation whereby individual may not capture full spectrum information inherent original image. Additionally, there are concerns regarding bias predicted results towards...

Insufficient illumination makes driver face detection at night challenging. This paper proposes an adaptive attenuation quantification retinex (AAQR) method to enhance the details of nighttime images. There are three phases in this method: restriction, prediction, and quantification. The performance proposed was evaluated by employing a robust via sparse representation. collected images were categorized into groups (up-down, left-right, mixed) according distribution each image. Results have...
