The freshness of tilapia fish is depending on the way the fish are stored after the harvesting time. The two essential factors that have an effect on the fish excellent are the retention time and medium used in the storage procedure. As the days pass, the quality of the fish sample may be decreased till it finally reaches the consumers. This paper proposed an automatic method for classifying tilapia fish freshness based on having fish image only. The proposed method is applied to real data-set images captured during several different days. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method in determining fish freshness in terms of both accuracy and processing time. The experimental consequences display the effectiveness of our technique in determining fish freshness taking into account the accuracy of freshness results at a suitable processing time.","PeriodicalId":113848,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127113073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An ensemble learning algorithm consisting of multimodal models trained on the geometric facial expressions and the physiological signals is proposed. Each model provides a certainty measure and the pain level is assigned by the most certain model. The proposed system is compared with the previous models.","PeriodicalId":113848,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126959434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of jamming signal influences the acquisition and tracking modules inside the receiver leading to loss-of-lock of the GNSS satellite signals. Consequently, GNSS receivers cannot provide reliable position, velocity and time services. The aim of this paper is to comprehensively explore the effects of linear chirp jamming on commercial receivers under high-dynamic scenarios. Moreover, the paper investigates the advantages of using combined GPS/GLONASS receivers under jamming conditions in comparison to using GPS-only receivers. In this paper, a SPIRENT GSS6700 Multi-GNSS Simulator controlled by Spirent SimGEN™ software is used to provide realistic controlled simulation scenarios. The linear chirp jamming signals are created using an Agilent interference signal generator (ISG) unit. Both commercial NovAtel ProPak-G2 Plus and NovAtel OEMV receivers are used to conduct these tests. The results show different behaviors of the various receivers in response to the applied jamming signals. The Carrier-to-Noise (C/N0), the Dilution of Precision (DOP), and the navigation solution accuracy are used as measures to assess the performance of the receivers under study. Results show that the NovAtel OEMV receiver outperforms the NovAtel ProPak-G2 Plus receiver. Moreover, it is revealed that multi-constellation receivers achieved higher resistance for signal jamming effects than GPS only receivers.","PeriodicalId":113848,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127047620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a new spatially-varying blur detection and restoration method. Motion blur is detected automatically from an individual image. Initially, the blurring kernel length and direction are estimated by finding the kernel that maximizes the likelihood of a blurred local window. This is achieved by incorporating either vertical or positive diagonal kernels with various lengths. Then, initial blur regions are estimated using a kernel specific feature. Next, the initial blur regions are refined with the support of the image segmentation (CCP) method and neighboring information. Finally, Blurred regions are recovered using the best-estimated kernel. Comparisons with the most successful methods reported in the literature demonstrate performance improvements in blur detection and restoration results.","PeriodicalId":113848,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127832336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A wide-range zero-current-switching (WR-ZCS) circuit is proposed to tune inductor discharging time with a good resolution using a digitally-tuned delay cell providing 30 ns and 100 ns delays.

However, in order to support this, detailed specification, classification and codification of the individual building systems and their components must be created. This entails usage and embedding of specific construction classification systems with the CAD systems utilized. While many such systems exist for new builds, there is lack of classification systems for heritage buildings, which are unique in the characteristics of their components that cannot be covered by current classification systems. This paper presents part of an ongoing research to justify and create a new Ontological Classification system for Heritage assets that can be used in conjunction with CAD systems, specifically 3D intelligent authoring tools, to specify the special requirements of Heritage components. The paper will start with a comparative study to validate creation of an \"Onto-Classification\" system as opposed to other systems like thesauri, taxonomies etc., including case study examples of them. This will be followed with examples of the new Onto-Classification system using a current existing Case study of Toson Palace in Egypt.","PeriodicalId":113848,"journal":{"name":"2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134316982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
