Gait analysis can be defined as the numerical and graphical representation of the mechanical measurements of human walking patterns and is used for two main purposes: human identification, where it is usually applied to security issues, and clinical applications, where it is used for the non-automated and automated diagnosis of various abnormalities and diseases. Automated or semi-automated systems are important in assisting physicians for diagnosis of various diseases. In this study, a semi-automated gait classification system is designed and implemented by using joint angle and time-distance data as features. Multilayer Pereeptrons (MLPs) Combination classifiers are used to categorize gait data into two categories; healthy and patient with knee osteoarthritis. Two popular approaches of combining neural networks are experimented and the results are compared according to different output combining rules. In the first one, same set is used to train all networks and afterwards the features are decomposed into five different sets. These two experiments show that using entire data set produces more accurate results than using decomposed data sets, but complexity becomes an important drawback. However, when a proper combining rule is applied to decomposed sets, results are more accurate than entire set. In this experiment sum rule produces better results than majority vote and max rules as an output combining rule.

Ensemble classifiers for medical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis using gait data Koktas, Nigar Sen; Yalabik, Nese; Yavuzer, Gunes (2006-12-16) Automated or semi-automated gait analysis systems are important in assisting physicians for diagnosis of various diseases. The objective of this study is to discuss ensemble methods for gait classification as a part of preliminary studies of designing a semi-automated diagnosis system. For this purpose gait data is collected from 110 sick subjects (having knee Osteoarthritis (OA)) and 91 age-matched normal subjects. A set of Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) is trained by using joint angle and time-distance par...
Extracting Sequential Patterns Based on User Defined Criteria Alkan, Oznur Kirmemis; Karagöz, Pınar (2013-09-13) Sequential pattern extraction is essential in many applications like bioinformatics and consumer behavior analysis. Various frequent sequential pattern mining algorithms have been developed that mine the set of frequent subsequences satisfying a minimum support constraint in a transaction database. In this paper, a hybrid framework to sequential pattern mining problem is proposed which combines clustering together with a novel pattern extraction algorithm that is based on an evaluation function, which utili...
Development and experimental verification of a structural health monitoring system for composite beams with embedded fibre bragg grating sensors Değerliyurt, Boray; Şahin, Melin; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a discipline of development and application of monitoring and detecting adverse changes and damage in a structure in operation. This study explains development of a SHM system of composite beams with embedded Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and its verification through experiments. There are considerations that require attention during manufacturing of composite specimens with embedded sensors. During manufacturing, protective teflon tubes are added to the ingress and...
Towards finding optimal mixture of subspaces for data classification Musa, Mohamed Elhafiz Mustafa; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) In pattern recognition, when data has different structures in different parts of the input space, fitting one global model can be slow and inaccurate. Learning methods can quickly learn the structure of the data in local regions, consequently, offering faster and more accurate model fitting. Breaking training data set into smaller subsets may lead to curse of dimensionality problem, as a training sample subset may not be enough for estimating the required set of parameters for the submodels. Increasing the ...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
