Abstract Implicit surface generation based on the interpolation of surface points is one of the well-known modeling methods in the area of computer graphics. Several methods for the implicit surface reconstruction from surface points have been proposed on the basis of radial basis functions, a weighted sum of local functions, splines, wavelets, and combinations of them. However, if the surface points contain errors or are sparsely distributed, irregular components, such as curvature-shaped redundant bulges and unexpectedly generated high-frequency components, are commonly seen. This paper presents a framework for restoring irregular components generated on and around surfaces. Users are assumed to specify… More >

Abstract As a mainstream research direction in the field of image segmentation, medical image segmentation plays a key role in the quantification of lesions, three-dimensional reconstruction, region of interest extraction and so on. Compared with natural images, medical images have a variety of modes. Besides, the emphasis of information which is conveyed by images of different modes is quite different. Because it is time-consuming and inefficient to manually segment medical images only by professional and experienced doctors. Therefore, large quantities of automated medical image segmentation methods have been developed. However, until now, researchers have not developed a universal method for all… More >

Abstract An improved fuzzy time series algorithm based on clustering is designed in this paper. The algorithm is successfully applied to short-term load forecasting in the distribution stations. Firstly, the K-means clustering method is used to cluster the data, and the midpoint of two adjacent clustering centers is taken as the dividing point of domain division. On this basis, the data is fuzzed to form a fuzzy time series. Secondly, a high-order fuzzy relation with multiple antecedents is established according to the main measurement indexes of power load, which is used to predict the short-term trend change of load in the… More >

Abstract There are two types of methods for image segmentation. One is traditional image processing methods, which are sensitive to details and boundaries, yet fail to recognize semantic information. The other is deep learning methods, which can locate and identify different objects, but boundary identifications are not accurate enough. Both of them cannot generate entire segmentation information. In order to obtain accurate edge detection and semantic information, an Adaptive Boundary and Semantic Composite Segmentation method (ABSCS) is proposed. This method can precisely semantic segment individual objects in large-size aerial images with limited GPU performances. It includes adaptively dividing and modifying the… More >

Abstract Many complex optimization problems in the real world can easily fall into local optimality and fail to find
the optimal solution, so more new techniques and methods are needed to solve such challenges. Metaheuristic
algorithms have received a lot of attention in recent years because of their efficient performance and simple

functions Sine & Cosine. However, like all other metaheuristic algorithms, SCA has a slow convergence and may

Abstract Recently, the demand for renewable energy has increased due to its environmental and economic needs. Solar
panels are the mainstay for dealing with solar energy and converting it into another form of usable energy. Solar
panels work under suitable climatic conditions that allow the light photons to access the solar cells, as any blocking
of sunlight on these cells causes a halt in the panels work and restricts the carry of these photons. Thus, the panels
are unable to work under these conditions. A layer of snow forms on the solar panels due to snowfall in areas with

Abstract In this article, we highlight a new three-parameter heavy-tailed lifetime distribution that aims to extend the
modeling possibilities of the Lomax distribution. It is called the extended Lomax distribution. The considered
distribution naturally appears as the distribution of a transformation of a random variable following the logweighted power distribution recently introduced for percentage or proportion data analysis purposes. As a result,
its cumulative distribution has the same functional basis as that of the Lomax distribution, but with a novel
special logarithmic term depending on several parameters. The modulation of this logarithmic term reveals new

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used and meet many demands in military and civilian fields. With the continuous enrichment and extensive expansion of application scenarios, the safety of UAVs is constantly being challenged. To address this challenge, we propose algorithms to detect anomalous data collected from drones to improve drone safety. We deployed a one-class kernel extreme learning machine (OCKELM) to detect anomalies in drone data. By default, OCKELM uses the radial basis (RBF) kernel function as the kernel function of the model. To improve the performance of OCKELM, we choose a Triangular Global Alignment Kernel (TGAK) instead of… More >

Abstract Due to the security and scalability features of hybrid cloud architecture, it can better meet the diverse requirements of users for cloud services. And a reasonable resource allocation solution is the key to adequately utilize the hybrid cloud. However, most previous studies have not comprehensively optimized the performance of hybrid cloud task scheduling, even ignoring the conflicts between its security privacy features and other requirements. Based on the above problems, a many-objective hybrid cloud task scheduling optimization model (HCTSO) is constructed combining risk rate, resource utilization, total cost, and task completion time.

The proof of the existence and positivity of the solution is given by using the fixed point theory.

Abstract In recent years, the number of parameters of deep neural networks (DNNs) has been increasing rapidly. The training
of DNNs is typically computation-intensive. As a result, many users leverage cloud computing and outsource their

attacks that exploit fake images. However, most backdoor attacks design a uniform trigger for all images, which can
be easily detected and removed. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive backdoor attack.… More >

Abstract Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is introduced to establish the direct link between computer-aided design and analysis.
It is commonly implemented by Galerkin formulations (isogeometric Galerkin, IGA-G) through the use of
nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions for geometric design and analysis. Another promising
approach, isogeometric collocation (IGA-C), working directly with the strong form of the partial differential
equation (PDE) over the physical domain defined by NURBS geometry, calculates the derivatives of the numerical
solution at the chosen collocation points. In a typical IGA, the knot vector of the NURBS numerical solution is only
determined by the physical domain. A new perspective… More >

Abstract Sharing of personal health records (PHR) in cloud computing is an essential functionality in the healthcare system. However, how to securely, efficiently and flexibly share PHRs data of the patient in a multi-receiver setting has not been well addressed. For instance, since the trust domain of the cloud server is not identical to the data owner or data user, the semi-trust cloud service provider may intentionally destroy or tamper shared PHRs data of user or only transform partial ciphertext of the shared PHRs or even return wrong computation results to save its storage and computation resource, to pursue maximum economic… More >

Abstract The Metric of a graph plays an essential role in the arrangement of different dimensional structures and finding their basis in various terms. The metric dimension of a graph is the selection of the minimum possible number of vertices so that each vertex of the graph is distinctively defined by its vector of distances to the set of selected vertices. This set of selected vertices is known as the metric basis of a graph. In applied mathematics or computer science, the topic of metric basis is considered as locating number or locating set, and it has applications in robot navigation… More >

Abstract Reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) environment is an indispensable technique to make augmented reality and augmented virtuality feasible. A Kinect device is an efficient tool for reconstructing 3D environments, and using multiple Kinect devices enables the enhancement of reconstruction density and expansion of virtual spaces. To employ multiple devices simultaneously, Kinect devices need to be calibrated with respect to each other. There are several schemes available that calibrate 3D images generated from multiple Kinect devices, including the marker detection method. In this study, we introduce a markerless calibration technique for Azure Kinect devices that avoids the drawbacks of marker detection, which… More >

Abstract The metaheuristic algorithms are widely used in solving the parameters of the optimization problem. The marine predators algorithm (MPA) is a novel population-based intelligent algorithm. Although MPA has shown a talented foraging strategy, it still needs a balance of exploration and exploitation. Therefore, a multi-stage improvement of marine predators algorithm (MSMPA) is proposed in this paper. The algorithm retains the advantage of multi-stage search and introduces a linear flight strategy in the middle stage to enhance the interaction between predators. Predators further away from the historical optimum are required to move, increasing the exploration capability of the algorithm. In the… More >

Abstract In this paper, a decision-making problem with a q-rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft environment is developed,
and two operators of ordered weighted average and induced ordered weighted average are developed. Several
fundamental features are also derived. The induced ordered weighted average operator is essential in a q-ROFH
environment as the induced ordered aggregation operators are special cases of the existing aggregation operators
that already exist in q-ROFH environments. The main function of these operators is to help decision-makers gain
a complete understanding of uncertain facts. The proposed aggregation operator is applied to a decision-making
problem, with the aim of selecting the… More >

Abstract High-resolution underwater digital elevation models (DEMs) are important for water and soil conservation, hydrological analysis, and river channel dredging. In this work, the underwater topography of the Panjing River in Shanghai, China, was measured by an unmanned surface vessel. Five different interpolation methods were used to generate the underwater DEM and their precision and applicability for different underwater landforms were analyzed through cross-validation. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between the interpolation error and the terrain surface roughness. The five interpolation methods were all appropriate for the survey area, but their accuracy varied with different surface roughness.… More >

Abstract This paper proposes an effective reliability design optimization method for fail-safe topology optimization (FSTO) considering uncertainty based on the moving morphable bars method to establish the ideal balance between cost and robustness, reliability and structural safety. To this end, a performance measure approach (PMA)-based double-loop optimization algorithm is developed to minimize the relative volume percentage while achieving the reliability criterion. To ensure the compliance value of the worst failure case can better approximate the quantified design requirement, a p-norm constraint approach with correction parameter is introduced. Finally, the significance of accounting for uncertainty in the fail-safe design is illustrated by… More >

Abstract Tabletop integral imaging display with a more realistic and immersive experience has always been a hot spot in
three-dimensional imaging technology, widely used in biomedical imaging and visualization to enhance medical
diagnosis. However, the traditional structural characteristics of integral imaging display inevitably introduce the

Abstract Augmented reality superimposes digital information onto objects in the physical world and enables multi-user collaboration. Despite that previous proxemic interaction research has explored many applications of user-object distance and user-user distance in an augmented reality context, respectively, and combining both types of distance can improve the efficiency of users’ perception and interaction with task objects and collaborators by providing users with insight into spatial relations of user-task object and user-user, less is concerned about how the two types of distances can be simultaneously adopted to assist collaboration tasks across multi-users. To fulfill the gap, we present UOUU, the user-object distance… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and computer technology, grid corporations have also begun to move towards comprehensive intelligence and informatization. However, data-based informatization can bring about the risk of privacy exposure of fine-grained information such as electricity consumption data. The modeling of electricity consumption data can help grid corporations to have a more thorough understanding of users’ needs and their habits, providing better services for users. Nevertheless, users’ electricity consumption data is sensitive and private. In order to achieve highly efficient analysis of massive private electricity consumption data without direct access, a blockchain-based federated learning method is proposed… More >
