Abstract PM2.5 concentration prediction is of great significance to environmental protection and human health. Achieving accurate prediction of PM2.5 concentration has become an important research task. However, PM2.5 pollutants can spread in the earth’s atmosphere, causing mutual influence between different cities. To effectively capture the air pollution relationship between cities, this paper proposes a novel spatiotemporal model combining graph attention neural network (GAT) and gated recurrent unit (GRU), named GAT-GRU for PM2.5 concentration prediction. Specifically, GAT is used to learn the spatial dependence of PM2.5 concentration data in different cities, and GRU is to extract the… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a novel, efficient and affordable approach to detect the students’ engagement levels in an e-learning environment by using webcams. Our method analyzes spatiotemporal features of e-learners’ micro body gestures, which will be mapped to emotions and appropriate engagement states. The proposed engagement detection model uses a three-dimensional convolutional neural network to analyze both temporal and spatial information across video frames. We follow a transfer learning approach by using the C3D model that was trained on the Sports-1M dataset. The adopted C3D model was used based on two different approaches; as a feature More >

Abstract With the accelerating process of social informatization, our personal information security and Internet sites, etc., have been facing a series of threats and challenges. Recently, well-developed neural network has seen great advancement in natural language processing and computer vision, which is also adopted in intrusion detection. In this research, a hybrid model integrating MultiScale Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-term Memory Network (MSCNN-LSTM) is designed to conduct the intrusion detection. Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (MSCNN) is used to extract the spatial characteristics of data sets. And Long Short-term Memory Network (LSTM) is responsible for processing More >

Abstract This study analyzed in-depth investigation reports for 418 traffic accidents with at least five deaths (TALFDs) in China from 2016 to 2019. Statistical analysis methods including hierarchical cluster analysis were employed to examine the distribution characteristics of these accidents. Accidents were found to be concentrated in July and August, and the distribution over the seven days of the week was relatively uniform; only Sunday had a higher number of accidents and deaths. In terms of 24-hour distribution, the one-hour periods with the most accidents and deaths were 8:00–9:00, 10:00–11:00, 14:00–15:00, and 18:00–19:00. Tibet, Qinghai, and… More >

Abstract Radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) is a key and challenging task for many designs and applications with meteorological purposes. Since the Z-R relation between radar and rain has a number of parameters on different areas, and the rainfall varies with seasons, the traditional methods are incapable of achieving high spatial and temporal resolution and thus difficult to obtain a refined rainfall estimation. This paper proposes a radar quantitative precipitation estimation algorithm based on the spatiotemporal network model (ST-QPE), which designs a convolutional time-series network QPE-Net8 and a multi-scale feature fusion time-series network QPE-Net22 to address More >

Abstract A conceptual spatiotemporal data model must be able to offer users a semantic richness of expression to meet their diverse needs concerning the modeling of spatio-temporal data. The conceptual spatiotemporal data model must be able to represent the objects, relationships and events that can occur in a field of study, track data history, support the multirepresentation of these data, and represent temporal and spatial data with two and three dimensions features. The model must also allow the assignment of different types of constraints to relations and provide a complete orthogonality between dimensions and concepts. The More >
