Face recognition technology becoming pervasive in the fields of computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition. However, face recognition accuracy rates will decrease if training is done on disguised images with covered objects on a face area. This paper aims to propose a state-of-the-art face recognition methodology which could be applied in Internet of Things…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

In this paper, a portable Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system was designed and implemented for human movements and breathing detection. The radar operates with a frequency band ranges from 4.7 to 4.9GHz. The radar sub-systems were designed and simulated using up to date computer-aided-design tools before implementation. The Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO), high…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

Objective: Individuals with aphasia often experience significant problems in their daily lives and social participation. Technologies that address speech and language disorders deficit in merging between therapist’s major role and reinforcing the training between sessions at home. It also lacks the Arabic language attention; however, current systems are typically expensive and lack amusement. Moreover, cumulative…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping known as V-SLAM, is an essential task for autonomous vehicles. It can be carried out using several sensors, in particular with on board cameras. To locate a vehicle, SLAM algorithms are based on two main tasks. The first task (front-end kernel) is intended to process images in order to provide…

After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather.…

In this paper, performances of two variations of chaos based algorithms are compared. First algorithm is a self-adaptive color image encryption algorithm is proposed based on Radial Hilbert Transform and chaos. This technique uses chaotic random phase masks operated on the transformed pixels to increase the randomness in confusion and diffusion operations. Also, a random…

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) can be used in many areas of application, including human walking, railways, pavements and bridges. Piezoelectric energy harvesters are currently based on two types of external forces, namely pressure load and mechanical oscillation or vibration. A vibration energy harvesting (VEH) is a mechanical oscillation in a piezoelectric energy harvester that harvested…

Ethereum smart contract system has seen a steady adoption as it continues to support tens of thousands of contracts. This feature has evolved to give a practical shape to the ideas leading up to fractional ownership transfer, using advanced smart contracts such as ERC-981. However, alongside its numerous benefits, various risks arise with the actual…

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) is among the most important crops in the world. High and stable grain yield in diverse environments is the major objective in durum breeding programs. This trait is linked to the quantitative trait loci (QTL). For the detection of QTL linked to the grain yield, it is necessary…

Stop and Wait (SW) ARQ, Go Back N (GBN) ARQ, and Selective Repeat (SR) ARQ are the main ARQ (Automatic-Repeat-reQuest) protocols used to ensure reliable delivery of digital data at correct sequence.
