The ever-growing technology in mobile smartphones has enabled users to store sensitive and private information; as a result, it required the need for an improved security system. Previous approaches heavily relied on shallow machine learning algorithms that require feature extraction which is time consuming, laborious and can cause, resulting in poor authentication. In this paper,…

The fast-paced development of smart technologies and the prevalence of vehicles, created an urgent demands to study and improve safety issues related to driving. In order to reduce traffic accidents, driving behavior was found to be very important issues to study and investigate. Recently, the advent and widespread of smartphone platforms with advanced computing competence…

Nowadays, smartphones and laptops equipped with cameras have become an integral part of our daily lives. The pervasive use of cameras enables the collection of an enormous amount of data, which can be easily extracted through video images processing. This opens up the possibility of using technologies that until now had been restricted to laboratories,…

The smartphone is a phenomenal device or tool that recently transform the habit of people. In this part, the smartphone serves not only as a communication device but also more complex functionality.

All forms of skin cancer are becoming widespread. These forms of cancer, and melanoma in particular, are insidious and aggressive and if not treated promptly can be lethal to humans. Effective treatment of skin lesions depends strongly on the timeliness of the diagnosis: for this reason, artificial vision systems are required to play a crucial…

Just as electricity has an essential role in our lives, the internet network and especially web services have become of vital importance nowadays. Without security service layers, apparently small things like checking a child’s school schedule on web may turn the daily routine into a nightmare. Web services users are still required to use many…

We present a privacy-preserving approach for discovering nearby places of interest to Alice. In this approach, the proposed protocol allows Alice to learn whether there is any place that she is looking for near her. However, the location-based service (LBS) that tries to help Alice to find nearby places does not learn Alice’s location. Alice…

We propose the use of the pitch rate of free-form speech recorded by smartphones as an index of voice disability. This research compares the effectiveness of pitch rate, jitter, shimmer, and harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) as indices of voice disability in English, German, and Japanese. Normally, the evaluation of these indices is performed using long-vowel sounds;…
