    Abstract Geologists interpret seismic data to understand subsurface properties and subsequently to locate underground hydrocarbon resources. Channels are among the most important geological features interpreters analyze to locate petroleum reservoirs. However, manual channel picking is both time consuming and tedious. Moreover, similar to any other process dependent on human intervention, manual channel picking is error prone and inconsistent. To address these issues, automatic channel detection is both necessary and important for efficient and accurate seismic interpretation. Modern systems make use of real-time image processing techniques for different tasks. Automatic channel detection is a combination of different… More >

    Impact of Distance Measures on the Performance of AIS Data Clustering

    Marta Mieczyńska1,*, Ireneusz Czarnowski2
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.36, No.1, pp. 69-82, 2021, DOI:10.32604/csse.2021.014327 - 23 December 2020
    Abstract Automatic Identification System (AIS) data stream analysis is based on the AIS data of different vessel’s behaviours, including the vessels’ routes. When the AIS data consists of outliers, noises, or are incomplete, then the analysis of the vessel’s behaviours is not possible or is limited. When the data consists of outliers, it is not possible to automatically assign the AIS data to a particular vessel. In this paper, a clustering method is proposed to support the AIS data analysis, to qualify noises and outliers with respect to their suitability, and finally to aid the reconstruction… More >

    Xizheng Zhang1,2,*, Zhangyu Lu1, Chongzhuo Tan1, Zeyu Wang1
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.36, No.1, pp. 117-130, 2021, DOI:10.32604/csse.2021.014081 - 23 December 2020
    Abstract Regarding the problem of the short driving distance of pure electric vehicles, a battery, super-capacitor, and DC/DC converter are combined to form a hybrid energy storage system (HESS). A fuzzy adaptive filtering-based energy management strategy (FAFBEMS) is proposed to allocate the required power of the vehicle. Firstly, the state of charge (SOC) of the super-capacitor is limited according to the driving/braking mode of the vehicle to ensure that it is in a suitable working state, and fuzzy rules are designed to adaptively adjust the filtering time constant, to realize reasonable power allocation. Then, the positive… More >

    PRNU Extraction from Stabilized Video: A Patch Maybe Better than a Bunch

    Bin Ma1, Yuanyuan Hu1, Jian Li1,*, Chunpeng Wang1, Meihong Yang2, Yang Zheng3
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.36, No.1, pp. 189-200, 2021, DOI:10.32604/csse.2021.014138 - 23 December 2020
    Abstract This paper presents an algorithm to solve the problem of Photo-Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) noise facing stabilized video. The stabilized video undergoes in-camera processing like rolling shutter correction. Thus, misalignment exists between the PRNU noises in the adjacent frames owing to the global and local frame registration performed by the in-camera processing. The misalignment makes the reference PRNU noise and the test PRNU noise unable to extract and match accurately. We design a computing method of maximum likelihood estimation algorithm for extracting the PRNU noise from stabilized video frames. Besides, unlike most prior arts tending to… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.36, No.1, pp. 225-237, 2021, DOI:10.32604/csse.2021.014100 - 23 December 2020
    Abstract AI approaches have been introduced to predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of a machine in modern industrial areas. To apply them well, challenges regarding the high dimension of the data space and noisy data should be met to improve model efficiency and accuracy. In this study, we propose an end-to-end model, termed ACB, for RUL predictions; it combines an autoencoder, convolutional neural network (CNN), and bidirectional long short-term memory. A new penalized root mean square error loss function is included to avoid an overestimation of the RUL. With the CNN-based autoencoder, a high-dimensional data More >

    Tao Zhang1,*, Jinxing Niu1, Shuo Liu1, Taotao Pan1, Brij B. Gupta2,3
    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.36, No.1, pp. 271-280, 2021, DOI:10.32604/csse.2021.014181 - 23 December 2020
    Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using structured light projection has the characteristics of non-contact, high precision, easy operation, and strong real-time performance. However, for actual measurement, projection modulated images are disturbed by electronic noise or other interference, which reduces the precision of the measurement system. To solve this problem, a 3D measurement algorithm of structured light based on deep learning is proposed. The end-to-end multi-convolution neural network model is designed to separately extract the coarse- and fine-layer features of a 3D image. The point-cloud model is obtained by nonlinear regression. The weighting coefficient loss function is introduced More >
