Comparing the classification performance of multi sensor data fusion based on feature extraction and feature selection
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Mechatronic Engineering, 2012-02-27)Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been widely used in the classification of multi sensor data fusion. This paper discusses the performance of LDA when the classifications were performed based on feature extraction ... -
Comparison of Matlab’s multivariate analysis for qualitative and quantitative electronic taste sensing system
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)Institut Matematik Kejuruteraan, 2010-06-02)A taste sensing system has been put in place by a team of Unimap’s researchers using an array of sensors and ‘off the shelf’ components. Qualitative and quantitative ‘tasting’ data (multi-dimensions) were subjected ... -
Determination of honey floral origin using data fusion of electronic taste and smell sensing system
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)Institut Matematik Kejuruteraan, 2010-06-02)Determination of honey classification based on floral origin requires expensive instrument and/or labor intensive expert personnel. In this study, electronic taste sensing and smell sensing systems were used to determine ... -
Development of human sensory mimicking system
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011-02)Taste (gustatory) and smell (olfactory) are two of the five human senses apart from touch (somatosensory), vision and hearing (auditory). In human and many other vertebrate animals the sense of taste are often used with ... -
Diagnosis of bacteria for diabetic foot infection using electronic nose technology
(IEEE Computer Society, 2013)Foot infections may lead to serious complications if failed to detect at an early stage; especially for diabetic patients. It is necessary to develop an easy and reliable method to identify and classify the causative ... -
Edible bird nest shape quality assessment using machine vision system
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-02-08)Swiftlets are birds contained within the four genera Aerodramus, Hydrochous, Schoutedenapus and Collocalia. To date, the bird nest grading is based on weight, shape and size. The inspection and grading for raw edible bird ... -
Effect of substrate bias in copper sputtering plasma measured by Langmuir Probe
(Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2014-04)There are several techniques to deposit the metal oxide thin film such as electron beam evaporator, pulse laser deposition and reactive magnetron sputtering deposition. In this experiment, magnetron sputtering deposition ... -
An Electronic Nose system for aromatic rice classification
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011-04)Aromatic rice is a variety of rice with good cooking qualities such as nice aroma and flavour. It is pricier because it is only suitable to be cultivated in regions with specific climatic and soil conditions. Presently, ... -
Enhancing conductive polymer performance using eggshell for ammonia sensor
