In this paper, the effect of using multi-image and single-image super-resolution to reduce registration errors of low resolution images is evaluated. Two sets of low resolution images were captured using CMUCam4 to perform the evaluation. Moreover, a simplified method that make use of feature points extracted from resolution enhanced / upscaled images to improve the registration of low resolution images is also presented. The simulation results show that enhancing / upscaling the images in prior to registration does help to reduce the registration errors.

Having an effective method for frequency assignment is very important in mobile communications. Artificial Immune Systems, a relatively new methodology for solving optimization-related problems, is investigated in this study to design a cellular frequency assignment model. In this framework, mobile hosts are allowed to continue interacting with the cells that they are currently in, even when the number of frequencies is insufficient. When the number of users increases, it is almost impossible to foresee future frequency demands in a cell. Often cellular networks are faced with insufficient frequencies in cells, whilst other cells have more frequencies available than they need. Our model works by allocating the unused frequencies from the cells with less demand to the overloaded cells. The model demonstrates that it manages to reuse the available free-conflict frequencies efficiently.

Uploading and sharing video has become a populartrend on internet recently. However, it is very difficult to understand which parts of video gain more attentions than other parts. Comment-popping video sharing websites, such as Niconico, is a new kind of emerging video sharing websites. Such websites allows users to input timestamp comments within shared video. This paper proposes two video summarization systems for comment-popping video websites based on the concept of folksonomy. The timestamp comments are analyzed and mined, and then the significant clips are chosen based on the mined information and the frequency of comments or keywords. Hereafter, a summary video is merged from these significant clips.

This paper describes estimation of the inverse model by multi-layered neural network. The back-propagation rule requires a sensitivity function of a system. If the system has uncertainly, then we can not calculate the sensitivity function. Hence, we propose a learning rule based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) combining with simultaneous perturbation. PSO and simultaneous perturbation are suitable for estimation of the inverse model with uncertainly, because they can update by only value of the objective function. PSO has a capability of finding a global minimum and simultaneous perturbation can search local area efficiently. We introduce two adaptation method of the combination ratio. One of them is to adapt it depending on the distance from gbest. The other is to adapt it depending on the value of the objective function. The proposed method are investigated using inverse kinematics problem. The simulation results show that the proposed methods obtain the more accurate inverse model.

Nowadays, touch panel is used as the interface of many portable consumer electronic products, such as smart phone, digital camera, GPS, and notebook. To ensure the quality of touch panel, it is necessary to inspect the serious defects during the production process. The manufacturing processes of the capacitive touch panel are complicated. The touch sensor is one of the most important components because it directly defines the function of touch panels. The quality of the touch sensor will greatly influence the overall quality and cost of the touch panel. Regular textures can be found on the touch sensor, and it would increase the workload of manual inspection. The automated machine vision can be applied to improve these problems if a good defect detection algorithm can be provided. This research develops an automated surface defect inspection system for capacitive touch sensor by using several image processing methods. First, Fourier transformation and a multi band-pass filter is applied to filter out regular texture. Second, based on Canny edge detection, binarization, and morphology method, the defects can be detected. 60 touch sensor images of size 640×320 are tested. The average accuracy is 96.67% and the processing time is 0.15 seconds for each image.

Long-term tracking is an expanding field with applications in logistics, ecology and wearable computing. The main challenge for longevity of tracking applications is the high energy consumption of GPS, which has been addressed by using low power sensors to trigger GPS activation upon detecting events of interest. While triggering can reduce power consumption, static thresholds can underperform in the longterm as context changes. This paper presents an auto-covariance based triggering algorithm that adapts trigger thresholds based on the incoming data and is effective with limited prior knowledge. We test the algorithm on empirical data from flying foxes and show that it outperforms static thresholding and existing adaptive algorithms from the literature.

Various user's situation and small screen compared with computer keyboard influence the performance of the IME (Input Method Editor, a program that allows users to enter characters and symbols). According to the hand that a user is using, it has a significant effect on the IME input. In this paper, we propose a method based on decision tree to generate GUI automatically for the IME. We collect sensor data from Android smartphone and key data that user enters with IME. A comparison experiment with different input postures was conducted to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

k-anonymization is a basic technique for privacy preserving data analysis of personal information. This paper studies the applicability of a fuzzy clustering-based anonymization approach to crowd movement analysis, in which each individual movement is captured through face recognition in camera images. Before utilizing each face feature values, k-anonymization is performed by coding cluster elements, which are extracted by fuzzy k-member clustering. In an experimental study, the advantage and availability of fuzzy partitions are investigated through comparisons of reproduction qualities and anonymization costs with several fuzzy degree settings.

Collaborative clustering is a recent field of Machine Learning that shows similarities with both transfer learning and ensemble learning. It uses two-step approaches where different clustering algorithms first process data individually and then exchange their information and results with a goal of mutual improvement. In this article, we introduce a new collaborative learning approach based on collaborative clustering principles and applied to the Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) algorithm. Our method consists in applying the GTM algorithm on different data sets where similar clusters can be found (same feature spaces and similar data distributions), and then to use a collaborative framework on the generated maps with the goal of transferring knowledge between them. The proposed approach has been validated on several data sets, and the experimental results have shown very promising performances.

Nitrogen (N) is one of nutrient required by plant in huge amounts. N availability of plant is needed to be estimated before applying fertilizers to determine proper N application rate. The purpose of this study is to estimate N of paddy (Oryza sativa, sp.) based on leaf reflectance using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In this study, 45 leaf samples were randomly selected under various environmental condition. Leaf reflectance was measured by handheld spectroradiometer while actual leaf N content was determined by Kjeldahl method. Spectral reflectance data in visible band (400–700 nm wavelength region) and actual N content were used as input and target data in ANN model building. K-fold cross-validation (k=3) method was applied to select the best model and measure the overall performance of model. Results indicated that ANN model with 17 neurons of hidden layer in relatively could estimate N properly. It was shown by the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.23 and the highest prediction accuracy of 93%. This study promises to help farmers predicting N content of paddy for optimal N fertilizer application.
