Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) empower the reflection of the environment
with an extraordinary resolve. These systems are combination of several
minuscule squat-cost, and stumpy-power on-chip transceiver sensing motes.
Characteristically, a sensing device comprises of four key gears: an identifying
element for data attainment, a microcontroller for native data dispensation, a
message component to permit the broadcast/response of data to/from
additional associated hardware, and lastly, a trivial energy source. Near field
frequency series and inadequate bandwidth of transceiver device drags to
multi-stage data transactions at minimum achievable requirements. State of
art, and prevailing operating systems, such as TinyOS (Levis, et.al. 2005),… More >

Abstract Density estimation via Gaussian mixture modelling has been successfully
applied to image segmentation. In this paper, we have learned distributions
mixture model to the pixel of an iris image as training data. We introduce the
proposed algorithm by adapting the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm.
To further improve the accuracy for iris segmentation, we consider the EM
algorithm in Markovian and non Markovian cases. Simulated data proves the
accuracy of our algorithm. The proposed method is tested on a subset of the
CASIA database by Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation-IrisTwins. The obtained results have shown a significant improvement of our… More >

Abstract The scheme of spatial pyramid matching (SPM) causes feature ambiguity near
dividing lines because it divides an image into different scales in a fixed manner.
A new method called soft SPM (sSPM) is proposed in this paper to reduce
feature ambiguity. First, an auxiliary area rotating around a dividing line in four
orientations is used to correlate the feature relativity. Second, sSPM is
performed to combine these four orientations to describe the image. Finally, an
optimized multiple kernel learning (MKL) algorithm with three basic kernels for
the support vector machine is applied. Specifically, for each level, a suitable
kernel is… More >

Abstract This paper presents the use of a novel nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithm
namely Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO), which is inspired from the ant lions hunting
mechanism to enhance the frequency regulation and optimize the load
frequency control (LFC) loop parameters. The frequency regulation issue was
formulated as an optimal load frequency control problem (OLFC). The proposed
ALO algorithm was applied to reach the best combination of the PID controller
parameters in each control area to achieve both frequency and tie-line power
flow exchange deviations minimization. The control strategy has been tested

Abstract In this article, adaptive hybrid control scheme is proposed for controlling the
position of a coaxial tri-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) in the presence of
input saturation and external wind disturbance. The adaptive hybrid controller

deals with the flight dynamics uncertainties and PID controller is used for tuning
the gains of MRACI whereas the stability of system is verified by Lyapunov

Abstract In this study, a systematic data-driven adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
(ANFIS) modelling methodology is proposed. The new methodology employs an
unsupervised competitive learning scheme to build an initial ANFIS structure
from input-output data, and a high-performance PSO-LSE method is developed
to improve the structure and to identify the consequent parameters of ANFIS
model. This proposed modelling approach is evaluated using several nonlinear
systems and is shown to outperform other modelling approaches. The
experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach is able to find the
most suitable architecture with better results compared with other methods
from the literature. More >

Abstract Accurate prediction of fine dust (PM10) concentration is currently recognized as
an important problem in East Asia. In this paper, we try to predict the

the day’s weather forecast data. The second case predicts the concentration of
PM10 on the next day using the previous day’s data. Based on this, we compare
the various performance results from the DNN model. In the… More >

Abstract A modified Viterbi scoring procedure is presented in this paper based on
Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm. In HMM-based speech recognition systems,
the Viterbi scoring plays a significant role in finding the best matching model,
but its computational complexity is linearly proportional to the number of
reference models and their states. Therefore, the complexity is serious in
implementing a high-speed speech recognition system. In the proposed
method, the Viterbi scoring is translated into the searching of a minimum path,
and the shortest-path algorithm is exploited to decrease the computational
complexity while preventing the recognition accuracy from deteriorating. In
addition, a two-phase comparison… More >
