Recognition and Classification of Clothing Pattern and Color
Abstract: Choosing clothes with complex patterns and colors is a challenging task for visually impaired and blind people. The automatic clothing pattern and color recognition is also a challenging problem due to the large intra-class variation, rotation, scaling and illumination. Here, we recognize clothing patterns in four categories (plaid, striped, pattern-less, and irregular), and identify 11 clothing colors (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, black, grey, and white). The …

Nonlinear Dynamics of MEMS Resonator with Squeeze-film Damping
Abstract: This paper presents nonlinear dynamic analysis of electro-statically actuated micro-resonator under squeeze-film damping conditions. By considering a single degree-of-freedom oscillator model of resonator with squeeze-film damping effects, nonlinear phenomena are investigated. Numerical studies are conducted using phase portrait and Poincare map over a range of AC voltage amplitudes to predict the dynamic pull-in state. The effects of AC harmonic frequency and ambient pressure on beam dynamics have also been studied. …
