Abstract

A new sensor system for measuring contraction and relaxation of muscles by using a PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The small scale optical device is designed and configured to perform the coupling effects between the changes in optical device phase shift and human facial muscle movement, which can be used to form the relationship between optical phase shift and muscle movement. By using the Optiwave and MATLAB programs, the results obtained have shown that the measurement of the contraction and relaxation of muscles can be obtained after the muscle movements, in which the unique pattern of individual muscle movement from facial expression can be established. The obtained simulation results, that is, interference signal patterns, can be used to form the various pattern recognitions, which are useful for the human machine interface and the human computer interface application and discussed in detail.

Highlights

  • Pattern recognitions have been widely investigated and used in many areas of applications [1,2,3,4,5,6]

  • Application was developed in order to use it in the work of the interaction between humans and computer or humans and machines, in which the human computer interface (HCI) is a method for controlling and data transmission where humans need to interact with the computer, such as in useful identify contraction and relaxation of facial muscles during speech and investigated hand gestures for HCI applications [11]

  • The human machine interface (HMI) systems have been used in applications with other devices such as controlling a virtual wheelchair through the hands-free control system based on multichannel forehead biosignals electromyography (EMG)

Summary

Introduction

Pattern recognitions have been widely investigated and used in many areas of applications [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The Scientific World Journal that uses the small scale optical device known as a PANDA ring circuit [17], where the required parameters of the change device phase shift and muscle movement can be measured. The use of optical devices has shown the good potentials for medical applications, where the medical diagnosis and ways to treat diseases such as the detection of human vital signs used health monitoring technology based on fiber optic interferometry to detect changes in the submicron length of the optical fiber [24], measurement of tissue hemodynamics and monitoring new tissue diagnostics [25], and using optical mammography for the detection of early stage breast cancer [26]. The obtained interference fringes can be used to form the relationship between facial muscle movement and pattern recognitions, which is useful for computer machine language and disability applications
