    OPTIMIZED BOUNDARY DETECTION ALGORITHM FOR POSTAL SIGNS RECOGNITION SYSTEM USING VARIANT BASED PARTICLE SWARM INTELLIGENCE
    (IEEE, 2016-10-06) Subashini P; Krishnaveni M; Manjutha M
    Sign Language is the only mode of communication for deaf and dumb people to convey their messages. Many difficulties are faced by the hearing impaired people when they come across certain areas like Banking, Hospital and Post Office. Especially, there is no proper communication aid available in post offices to support disabled people. From available literature, it is understood that computational methods have been existing in the area of sign language recognition for hearing impaired people. These recognition system acts as an interpreter to accomplish the conversion of sign language into text or voice. This paper proposes an efficient object tracking method, that improves the performance of the video recognition system, by introducing Variant based Particle Swarm Optimization (VPSO) technique in Kalman Filter (KF) through postal video signs. The experimental results prove that VPSO based Efficient Kalman Filter (EKF) provides results better than a traditional KF.

    AN OPTIMIZED CEPSTRAL FEATURE SELECTION METHOD FOR DYSFLUENCIES CLASSIFICATION USING TAMIL SPEECH DATASET
    (IEEE, 2019-10-14) Manjutha M; Subashini P; Krishnaveni M; Narmadha V
    Speech is the most important and indispensable mode of communication between humans. In communication, the continuous flow of speech gets affected due to the interruption of emotional, panic and psychological factors that cause syllable or word repetition, prolongation and interjection. Speech dysfluency is a primary challenge for speech pathologist to isolate the normal speech from the stuttered speech. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a novel approach through optimized cepstral features selection that improves the classifiers accuracy. In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Synergistic Fibroblast Optimization (SFO) were introduced to select optimal features from conventional MFCC (Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients). The optimized cepstral features from PSO and SFO of pre-processed Tamil speech data is used to discriminate among different categories of speech signals like Normal, Moderate and Sever stutter through machine learning classification methods such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes (NB). From the experimental results, the optimal selection of cepstral features using SFO algorithm has achieved high accuracy of 96.08% employed with NB which outperforms well to the feature selection of PSO and classical MFCC. The evaluation of the proposed methodology is done by using performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, precision, f-score and accuracy.
