The advent and worldwide adoption of smartphones has enriched the lives of many people. However, one particular group--the visually impaired--still need specific apps to help them with their daily lives. Thus, I’m developing this Smart app to specifically help the visually-impaired. Specifically, I hope to integrate the functions of Google Maps into the Smart App. While Google Maps functions well as a GPS for the average person without any impairment, I’m adding additional features to the Smart app so that it would guide the eye-sight impaired. For example, I will use the camera of the Smartphone to guide the user such that it would take the user to the desired destination. Thus, using the inherent functions (camera) of a phone, the Smart app can gently and safely guide any sight-impaired person to a predetermined destination by walking. One can think of Smart app as an improvement upon Google Maps -- for the visually impaired.

Let G be a nontrivial link-colored connected network. A link-cut R of G is called a rainbow link-cut if no two of its links are colored the same. A link-colored network G is rainbow disconnected if for every two nodes u and v of G, there exists a u-v rainbow link-cut separating them. Such a link coloring is called a rainbow disconnection coloring of G. For a connected network G, the rainbow disconnection number of G, denoted by rd(G), is defined as the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow disconnected. Similarly, there are some other new concepts of network colorings, such as proper disconnection coloring, monochromatic disconnection coloring and rainbow node-disconnection coloring. In this paper, we obtain the exact values of the rainbow (node-)disconnection numbers, proper and monochromatic disconnection numbers of cellular networks and grid networks, respectively.

Languages do not always use specific perception words to refer to specific senses. A word from one sense can metaphorically express another physical perception meaning. For Kirundi, findings from a corpus-based analysis revealed a cross-modal polysemy and a bidirectional hierarchy between higher and lower senses. The attested multisensory expression of auditory verb kwûmva ‘hear’ allows us to reduce sense modalities to two –vision and audition. Moreover, the auditory experience verb kwûmva ‘hear’ shows that lower senses can extend to higher senses through the use of synaesthetic metaphor (e.g. kwûmva akamōto ‘lit:hear a smell’/ururírīmbo ruryōshé ‘lit: a tasty song’/ururirimbo ruhimbâye ‘lit: a pleasant song). However, in collocations involving emotion words, it connects perception to emotion (e.g.; kwûmva inzara ‘lit: hear hunger’, kwûmva umunêzēro ‘lit: hear happiness’). This association indicates that perception in Kirundi gets information from both internal and external stimuli. Thus, considering feelings as part of the perception system.

Students in international classroom settings face difficulties comprehending and writing down data shared with them, which causes unnecessary frustration and misunderstanding. However, utilizing digital aids to record and store data can alleviate these issues and ensure comprehension by providing other means of studying/reinforcement. This paper presents an application to actively listen and write down notes for students as teachers instruct class. We applied our application to multiple class settings and company meetings, and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach.

Recent coronavirus lockdowns have had a significant impact on how students study. As states shut down schools, millions of students are now required to study at home with pre-recorded videos. This, however, proves challenging, as teachers have no way of knowing whether or not students are paying attention to the videos, and students may be easily distracted from important parts of the videos. Currently, there is virtually no research and development of applications revolving specifically around the subject of effectively taking digital notes from videos. This paper introduces the web application we developed for streamlined, video-focused auto-schematic note-taking. We applied our application to school-related video lectures and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that the tools increase productivity when taking notes from a video, and are more effective and informational than conventional paper notes.

A technique for removing unnecessary patterns from captured images by using a generative network is studied. The patterns, composed of lines and spaces, are superimposed onto a blue component image of RGB color image when the image is captured for the purpose of acquiring a depth map. The superimposed patterns become unnecessary after the depth map is acquired. We tried to remove these unnecessary patterns by using a generative adversarial network (GAN) and an auto encoder (AE). The experimental results show that the patterns can be removed by using a GAN and AE to the point of being invisible. They also show that the performance of GAN is much higher than that of AE and that its PSNR and SSIM were over 45 and about 0.99, respectively. From the results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique with a GAN.

Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, college tours are no longer available, so many students have lost the opportunity to see their dream school’s campus. To solve this problem, we developed a product called “Virtourgo,” a university virtual tour website that uses Google Street View images gathered from a web scraper allowing students to see what college campuses are like even when tours are unavailable during the pandemic. The project consists of 3/4 parts: the web scraper script, the GitHub server, the Google Domains DNS Server, and the HTML files. Some challenges we met include scraping repeated pictures and letting the HTML dropdown menu jump to the correct location. We solved these by implementing Python and Javascript functions that specifically target such challenges. Finally, after experimenting with all the functions of the web scraper and website, we confirmed that it works as expected and can scrape and deliver tours of any university campus or public buildings we want.

Technological advancement has brought many the convenience that the society used to lack, but unnoticed by many, a population neglected through the age of technology has been the visually impaired population. The visually impaired population has grown through ages with as much desire as everyone else to adventure but lack the confidence and support to do so. Time has transported society to a new phase condensed in big data, but to the visually impaired population, this quick-pace living lifestyle, along with the unpredictable natural disaster and COVID-19 pandemic, has dropped them deeper into a feeling of disconnection from the society. Our application uses the global positioning system to supportthe visually impaired in independent navigation, alerts them in face of natural disasters, and remindsthem to sanitize their devices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is difficult to segment small objects and the edge of the object because of larger-scale variation, larger intra-class variance of background and foreground-background imbalance in the remote sensing imagery. In convolutional neural networks, high frequency signals may degenerate into completely different ones after downsampling. We define this phenomenon as aliasing. Meanwhile, although dilated convolution can expand the receptive field of feature map, a much more complex background can cause serious alarms. To alleviate the above problems, we propose an attention-based mechanism adaptive filtered segmentation network. Experimental results on the Deepglobe Road Extraction dataset and Inria Aerial Image Labeling dataset showed that our method can effectively improve the segmentation accuracy. The F1 value on the two data sets reached 82.67% and 85.71% respectively.
