Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great success in image processing. However, the heavy computational burden it imposes makes it difficult for use in embedded applications that have limited power consumption and performance. Although...
This paper investigates a real-world distribution problem arising in the vehicle production industry, particularly in a logistics company, in which cars and vans must be loaded on auto-carriers and then delivered to dealerships. A solution to the pro...
The Internet is becoming a major source of radicalization. The propaganda efforts of new extremist groups include creating new propaganda videos from fragments of old terrorist attack videos. This article presents a web-scraping method for retrieving...
The paper deals with the problem of global minimization of a polynomial function expressed through the Frobenius norm of two-dimensional or three-dimensional matrices. An adaptive procedure is proposed which applies a Multistart algorithm according t...
In this paper we present an approach towards real-time hand gesture recognition using the Kinect sensor, investigating several machine learning techniques. We propose a novel approach for feature extraction, using measurements on joints of the extrac...
With the increase in mobile location service applications, spatiotemporal queries over the trajectory data of moving objects have become a research hotspot, and continuous query is one of the key types of various spatiotemporal queries. In this paper...
The popularization of big data makes the enterprise need to store more and more data. The data in the enterprise’s database must be accessed as fast as possible, but the Relational Database (RDB) has the speed limitation due to the join operati...
We consider the use of multiple mobile agents to explore an unknown area. The area is orthogonal, such that all perimeter lines run both vertically and horizontally. The area may consist of unknown rectangular holes which are non-traversable internal...
Copper wire is a major conduction material that carries a variety of signals in industry. Presently, automatic wire elongating machines to produce very thin wiresare available for manufacturing. However, the original wires for the elongating process...
This paper presents a new algorithm based on the theory of mutual information and information geometry. This algorithm places emphasis on adaptive mutual information estimation and maximum likelihood estimation. With the theory of information geometr...
This paper deals with an approximation of a first derivative of a signal using a dynamic system of the first order. After formulating the problem, a proposition and a theorem are proven for a possible approximation structure, which consists of a dyna...
A theoretical framework for determining the dynamics of interacting sub-systems is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a systematic analysis is performed that results in an indication about whether an MP or an NMP dynamics occurs in the analyzed pr...
This paper presents a novel diagonal recurrent neural network hybrid controller based on the shared memory of real-time database structure. The controller uses Data Engine (DE) technology, through the establishment of a unified and standardized softw...
In order to numerically investigate the free surface flow evolution in a cylindrical tank, a regular structured grid system in the cylindrical coordinates is usually applied to solve control equations based on the incompressible two-phase flow model....
Current state-of-the-art medical deformable image registration (DIR) methods optimize a weighted sum of key objectives of interest. Having a pre-determined weight combination that leads to high-quality results for any instance of a specific DIR probl...
In this paper, we propose a variable block insertion heuristic (VBIH) algorithm to solve the permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP). The VBIH algorithm removes a block of jobs from the current solution. It applies an insertion local search t...
Domain adaptation is a sub-field of transfer learning that aims at bridging the dissimilarity gap between different domains by transferring and re-using the knowledge obtained in the source domain to the target domain. Many methods have been proposed...
Transfer learning aims for high accuracy by applying knowledge of source domains for which data collection is easy in order to target domains where data collection is difficult, and has attracted attention in recent years because of its significant p...
This paper assumes that multiple device-to-device (D2D) users can reuse the same uplink channel and base station (BS) supplies power to D2D transmitters by means of wireless energy transmission; the optimization problem aims at maximizing the total c...
After the teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm was proposed, many improved algorithms have been presented in recent years, which simulate the teaching–learning phenomenon of a classroom to effectively solve global optimiz...

The dense optical flow estimation under occlusion is a challenging task. Occlusion may result in ambiguity in optical flow estimation, while accurate occlusion detection can reduce the error. In this paper, we propose a robust optical flow estimation...
This article describes an optimization methodology based on a model of competitiveness between different metaheuristic methods. The main contribution is a strategy to dynamically find the algorithm that obtains the best result based on the competitiv...
In this paper we introduced a new class of strong negations, which were generated via conical sections. This paper focuses on the fact that simple mathematical and computational processes generate new strong fuzzy negations, through purely geometrica...
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been a hot topic among researchers for the last 30 years. It is a new imaging method and has evolved over the last few decades. By injecting a small amount of current, the electrical properties of tissues are...
