Cyclist Performance Classification System based on Submaximal Fitness Test

Performances among cyclist always measured by time traveled from start to finish line and then the winner in cycling event also decided by time or who crossed the finish line first. On the other hand, cyclist performance can be measured through cardiorespiratory and physical fitness, and this performance can be enhanced by proper training to increase fitness and skill without burden. A wireless sensor network (WSN) system developed by combined various sensing element to capture physiological and bicycle’s kinetics feedback. Physiological data such as heart rate variability (HRV) and kinetic data such as paddling power and cadence used as input in Astrand-Ryhming and PWC150 submaximal test to classify the performance group among cyclist. Developed HRV system using Photoplethysmography (PPG) provides the significant output with R2 value was 0.967. A group of 15 cyclists from three different backgrounds was used as a subject in this study. Maximal oxygen intake (VO2max) produced by AstrandRyhming test correlated with estimated paddling power produced by PWC150 test with P<0.01 and the R2 value was 0.8656. Discriminant analysis was 88.3% successfully classified cyclist into 3 group and group of trained and untrained cyclist clearly separated

Shape Classification of Harumanis Mango using Discriminant Analysis (DA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM)

The perceived quality of fruits, such as mangoes, is greatly dependent on many parameters such as ripeness, shape, size, and is influenced by other factors such as harvesting time. Unfortunately, a manual fruit grading has several drawbacks such as subjectivity, tediousness and inconsistency. By automating the procedure, as well as developing new classification technique, it may solve these problems. This paper presents the novel work on the using visible Imaging as a Tool in Quality Monitoring of Harumanis Mangoes. A Fourier-Descriptor method was developed from CCD camera images to grade mango by its shape. Discriminant analysis (DA) and Support vector machine (SVM) were applied for classification process and able to correctly classify 98.3% for DA and 100% for SVM

Gas Sensing Mobile Robot: A Review

Mobile robot applications are required in various hazardous fields to reduce human casualties. One of the most demanding applications is gas sensing mobile robot. Since the hazardous chemical compound is undetectable by humans, autonomous mobile gas sensors are needed. Over the past few decades, various attempts to incorporate gas sensor on mobile robots are reported. Gas source localisation and gas distribution mapping are the two mainly focused scope of research. This paper presents the earliest works and recent development in gas sensing mobile robots

Interference issues and mitigation method in WSN 2.4GHz ISM band: A survey

Current lifestyles promote the development and advancement in wireless technologies, especially in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) due to its several benefits.WSN offers a low cost, low data rate, flexible routing, longer lifetime, and low-energy consumption suitable for unmanned and long term monitoring.Among huge WSN applications, some key applications are smart houses, environmental monitoring, military applications, and other monitoring applications.As a result, ubiquitous increase in the number of wireless devices occupying the 2.4GHz frequency band.This causes a dense wireless connection followed by interference problem to WSN in the 2.4GHz frequency band. WSN is most affected by the interference issue because it has a lower data rate and transmission power compared to WLAN.Despite efforts made by researchers, to the author's knowledge, the interference issue is still a major problem in wireless networks.This paper aims to review the coexistence and interference issues of existing wireless technologies in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.Keywords— Coexistence, Frequency Spectrum, IEEE 802.15.4, Interference, WSN, 2.4GHz ISM ban
