Machine learning classifiers provide many promising solutions for data classification in different disciplines. However, data classification at run time is still a very challenging task for real-time applications. Acceleration of machine-learning hardware solutions is needed to meet the requirements of real-time applications. This paper proposes a new implementation of a machine learning classifier on Field…

Cloud computing allows users and enterprises to process their data in high performance servers, thus reducing the need for advanced hardware at the client side. Although local processing is viable in many cases, collecting data from multiple clients and processing them in a server gives the best possible performance in terms of processing rate. In…

This research presents a “Multi-camera for pilot’s cockpit measurement system”, which uses four multi-view images to eliminate the instrument and human body shielding and record the touched area. That could record the body reaction time (velocity and acceleration) and trajectory of the tested personnel. Real-time conversion of multi-view images corresponding to the 3D skeletal joint…

Seto Inland Sea is situated between Japanese islands Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. It is separated from the ocean by the Bungo Channel, Kii Channel, and other narrow straits around Shikoku Island. The objective of the article is to draw the attention to the question of how well the coastal population and infrastructure of those locations…

This article extends novelty of modeling capacitive accelerometer with PID controller to provide PI controller for better tuning and statistical test to determine the linear validation characteristics of closed capacitive accelerometer. Capacitive accelerometer is a sensor which uses the dynamic law of physics model Position-Velocity-Accelerator (PVA) by the movement of an electrode coupled to mass…

The Coriolis force in the ocean at mid to high latitudes can cause significant deviation of flow over bottom topography, including formation of Taylor columns. Structures in a tidal zone will experience zero inertial current between every tidal change. Around periods of directional change, the Coriolis force may be tapped into for energy. Factors like…

Vehicle accidents, particularly in small and large urban areas, are rising tremendously day by day worldwide. As a recent research subject in automaton transportation, the subsequent collision has become a vital issue and emergency. Internet of things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have become very popular these days because of their versatility, and…

To create a Virtual Reality (VR) system for Wing Chun’s basic hand movement training, capturing, and classifying movement data is an important step. The main goal of this paper is to find the best possible method of classifying hand movement, particularly Wing Chun’s basic hand movements, to be used in the VR training system. This…

Background: Occupational injuries are an issue of huge significance in the United States. After a work injury, health care providers often utilize functional capacity evaluations to determine readiness of a patient to return to work. However, it can be difficult to determine if a patient is providing maximal “effort” during the evaluation. The aim of…

In this study, Taguchi method and ANOVA that are applied to determine the influence of several input parametrs on cutting force amplitude (F), vibration acceleration amplitude (a), and machining productivity (P) in the five-axis finish milling process of the spiral bevel gear. Taguchi orthogonal L27 array is used to design the experimental matrix with 27…

Many recent studies on autonomous driving have focused on model-based control. A number of studies has addressed that simple models such as the Kinematic Bicycle Model are easier to design controls for autonomous driving systems. However, such a simple vehicle model has a weakness in that it is subject to modeling errors. This is because…

Estimation of displacement is an information required for daily operation monitoring systems to monitor human health or to locate users in buildings, basements, tunnels and similar places which under the same conditions that the global positioning signal (GPS) level is from very weak to completely absent; and is the measurement technique by using multimetric data…

The pre-reason of the Smolensk catastrophe was a dense fog. The pilots took three trials to find the proper way to airfield. Each case the tower communicated: you are on the curse and path. Pilots, however, resigned. In third critical trial the co-pilot prolonged the response second ring to 8 seconds and the engines could…

With a model predictive control approach including boundary analysis and uncertain prediction of activities of different road participants, this paper proposes solutions that support motion control by steering control and appropriate acceleration to create safe motion trajectories for an autonomous vehicle. The motion control support element is determined by the principle of minimal intervention and…

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are able to dissipate a large amount of energy during earthquake (EQ). RC structures designed to resist EQs must have enough strength and stiffness to prevent any possible collapse as well as to control deflection. Seismic codes include the response reduction/modification factor(R) in calculation of equivalent lateral forces used for EQ…

New multimedia applications such as mobile video, high-quality Internet video or digital television requires high-performance encoding of video signals to meet technical constraints such as runtime, bandwidth or latency. Video coding standard h.265 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) was developed by JCT-VC to replace the MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and h.264 codecs and to respond to these…
