Computer vision is a technique used for processing images and videos which are increasingly becoming ubiquitous day by day. Technologies developed are revolving around human needs and demands high computational power as volume of data increases. The extraction of the necessary information for processing, that is independent of various scene complexity is a challenging task.…

With the advancements in technology, smart entities are becoming increasingly intelligent, therefore, increasing their interaction capabilities with their surrounding environment. Apart from the traditional smart low profile devices, these entities now involve cars, mobiles, televisions, and extend to universities and smart cities. One of the bi-product of the smart cities is the emergence of the…

Computer vision offers several strategies that permit computers to comprehend the substance of inputted data to extract the relevant highlights features. That gives the possibility to develop several successful recognition systems like face identification. One of the enormous difficulties these days is the way to have a prompt identification face in a multi-client identification system.…

Ultra-high resolution broadcasting such as 4K and 8K are becoming more popular for at-home use. The position of the viewer’s mean gaze point when they are looking at a larger display depends on the video clip, viewing position, and viewing distance. The International Telecommunication Union provided the document BT-2022; as the standard viewing conditions for…

Facial emotion recognition is one among many popular and challenging tasks in the field of computer vision. Numerous researches have been conducted on this task and each proposed either standalone- or ensemble-based processing technique. While many researches strive for better accuracy, this research also attempts to increase the processing efficiency of computer correctly classifying human…

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…

In this paper we study a cell division cycle modeled by a system of partial differential equations with an age structure. This model translates the many regulatory mechanisms within the cell cycle where it introduces the notion of phases. The individual cell can be either in I phases where the transition between theses phases are…

Logistics is a science and art that has been widely used by large commercial chains, whose main objectives focus on the distribution of products or services. This understanding has generated various logistics studies directed towards those businesses, without considering that science can also be applied to small or medium enterprises. The present study initially executes…

This paper showcases our previous and continuously improving development at Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) and partners in designing and further enhancing the existing Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (LPLS) and Improved Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (ILPLS) to the new Smart Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (Smart LPLS) with non-invasive jaundice monitoring for newborns with Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ).…

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.…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

The objective of this article is to highlight the relationship between the integration of sustainable development practices in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes) and the challenge sought by managers in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Indeed, present-day Smes are operating in a world where economic, social, societal or environmental constraints are constantly evolving.…

Senior projects allow students to move the learning process from basic knowledge to an interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of this research is (1) to analysis attitude and perception, which is a collaboration between teachers and students to develop a model for clustering of appropriate advisors and advisee who cooperate in senior project, and (2) to…

Road traffic accidents are primarily caused by drivers error. Safer roads infrastructure and facilities like traffic signs and signals are built to aid drivers on the road. But several factors affect the awareness of drivers to traffic signs including visual complexity, environmental condition, and poor drivers education. This led to the development of different ADAs…

Image description generation is an important area in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. This paper introduces a novel architecture for an image description generation system using keywords. The proposed architecture uses a high-level feature such as keywords for generating captions. The important component of caption generation is the deep Bidirectional LSTM network. The space…

Restoring, estimating the fully 3D hand skeleton and pose from the image data of the captured sensors/cameras applied in many applications of computer vision and robotics: human-computer interaction; gesture recognition, interactive games, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), sign languages, action recognition, etc. These are applications that flourish in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies. Previous survey…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2019 Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainability (WorldS4). Author describes two new methods: reactive protection method (without delay after detecting an attack), which consists in virtualizing the execution environment of supercomputers processes if the calculated state descriptor falls into the…

The need to optimally explore Nigeria’s diverse mineral resource endowments via sustainable value chain practices has, in recent times, been the focus of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders. This development has amongst other things, been made a necessity since the decline in Nigeria’s crude oil export and earnings, as well as the increased effort…
