Image quality enhancement in digital panoramic radiograph

Sekine Asadi Amiri; Ehsan Moudi

Volume 2, Issue 1 , March 2014, Pages 1-6

https://doi.org/10.22044/jadm.2014.112

Abstract
  One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient ...  Read More

Local gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition

Mohammad Shahidol Islam

Volume 2, Issue 1 , March 2014, Pages 33-38

https://doi.org/10.22044/jadm.2014.147

Abstract
  Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local ...  Read More

Solution of Multi-Objective optimal reactive power dispatch using pareto optimality particle swarm optimization method

Syed Abbas Taher; Mojtaba Pakdel

Volume 2, Issue 1 , March 2014, Pages 39-52

https://doi.org/10.22044/jadm.2014.149

Abstract
  For multi-objective optimal reactive power dispatch (MORPD), a new approach is proposed where simultaneous minimization of the active power transmission loss, the bus voltage deviation and the voltage stability index of a power system are achieved. Optimal settings of continuous and discrete control ...  Read More

Ali Harimi; Ali Shahzadi; Alireza Ahmadyfard; Khashayar Yaghmaie

Volume 2, Issue 1 , March 2014, Pages 53-61

https://doi.org/10.22044/jadm.2014.150

Abstract
  Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic ...  Read More

A Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation

Milad Azarbad; Hamed Azami; Saeid Sanei; A Ebrahimzadeh

Volume 2, Issue 1 , March 2014, Pages 63-71

https://doi.org/10.22044/jadm.2014.151

Abstract
  The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition ...  Read More
