Pymaivar: An Open-Source Python Suit For Audio-Image Representation In Human Action Recognition, Muhammad B. Shaikh, Douglas Chai, Syed M. S. Islam, Naveed Akhtar Sep 2023

Pymaivar: An Open-Source Python Suit For Audio-Image Representation In Human Action Recognition, Muhammad B. Shaikh, Douglas Chai, Syed M. S. Islam, Naveed Akhtar

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

We present PyMAiVAR, a versatile toolbox that encompasses the generation of image representations for audio data including Wave plots, Spectral Centroids, Spectral Roll Offs, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), MFCC Feature Scaling, and Chromagrams. This wide-ranging toolkit generates rich audio-image representations, playing a pivotal role in reshaping human action recognition. By fully exploiting audio data's latent potential, PyMAiVAR stands as a significant advancement in the field. The package is implemented in Python and can be used across different operating systems.

A Survey On Artificial Intelligence-Based Acoustic Source Identification, Ruba Zaheer, Iftekhar Ahmad, Daryoush Habibi, Kazi Y. Islam, Quoc Viet Phung

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The concept of Acoustic Source Identification (ASI), which refers to the process of identifying noise sources has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The ASI technology can be used for surveillance, monitoring, and maintenance applications in a wide range of sectors, such as defence, manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. Acoustic signature analysis and pattern recognition remain the core technologies for noise source identification. Manual identification of acoustic signatures, however, has become increasingly challenging as dataset sizes grow. As a result, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for identifying noise sources has become increasingly relevant and useful. In this paper, we …

Green Underwater Wireless Communications Using Hybrid Optical-Acoustic Technologies, Kazi Y. Islam, Iftekhar Ahmad, Daryoush Habibi, M. Ishtiaque A. Zahed, Joarder Kamruzzaman

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Underwater wireless communication is a rapidly growing field, especially with the recent emergence of technologies such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). To support the high-bandwidth applications using these technologies, underwater optics has attracted significant attention, alongside its complementary technology – underwater acoustics. In this paper, we propose a hybrid opto-acoustic underwater wireless communication model that reduces network power consumption and supports high-data rate underwater applications by selecting appropriate communication links in response to varying traffic loads and dynamic weather conditions. Underwater optics offers high data rates and consumes less power. However, due to the severe …
