In capturing, Kinect sensors use a motion capture sensor for motion actors. The connection uses sensors to read data, connect to high-quality 3D scans, and then use these high-quality scans of the animated MPEG-4 face and hand models. The main challenges of this system are the simultaneous capture of data for the whole hand and the development of the MPEG-4 approach considering the animation engines with descriptive sign language features. After synchronizing motion data from motion capture results with Kinect, the combined hand character adjusts points, frames, and time with virtual characters based on the motion of character actors.

Data is only sent if a change in the patient’s situation is detected. The second stage focuses on compressing the identified data using two algorithms: range and changed vital signs methods. The range method classifies patient readings into ranges based on the current health situation before compressing them. At the same time, the changed vital signs algorithm considers both current and previous situations during compression. Through simulations using actual patient data, we demonstrated the effectiveness of our protocol in reducing data transmission by 97% while maintaining a high level of accuracy in the transmitted information.

Experiments on cancer microarray benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly enhances feature selection and diagnosis accuracy compared to existing methods.

However, some existing CP-ABE schemes still have some shortcomings. For example, the efficiency of encryption and decryption is not high enough, and some cannot support more sufficient and expressive access structures. To solve the above problems, combined with blockchain, this paper presents a CP-ABE scheme with partial policy hiding based on prime order bilinear groups.

Its significance extends to the design of various earthworks like embankments, foundations, and pavements, influencing the soil’s strength, stiffness, and stability. The MDD is contingent on diverse elements like soil type, grain size distribution, moisture content and compaction effort. Generally, heightened compaction effort correlates with an increased MDD, while elevated moisture content corresponds to a reduced MDD. Accurate prediction of the MDD under specific conditions is imperative to uphold the quality and safety standards of earthworks. This research aims to introduce Support Vector Regression (SVR) as a modeling technique for predicting the MDD of soil-stabilizer mixtures. To establish an accurate and comprehensive model that can correlate the stabilized soil’s MDD with attributes of natural soil, consisting linear shrinkage, particle size distribution, plasticity, as well as the type and number of stabilizing additives, three optimization algorithms, namely Artificial Rabbits Optimization (ARO), Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO), and Improved Manta-Ray Foraging Optimizer (IMRFO), were employed in addition to SVR.

This paper proposes a novel method for constructing a radio map (RM) based on Kernel density estimation (KDE) and human trajectories (HT) to enhance indoor localization accuracy. The proposed method utilizes historical HT data in RM construction to capture the spatial variability and complexity of indoor environments, which is crucial for accurate localization. By employing KDE, kernel density maps are generated, identifying high-density regions where additional interpolated fingerprints are strategically placed to improve localization accuracy. In contrast to the conventional method of uniformly placing interpolated points (IPs), the proposed approach better models natural walking patterns and trajectories, thereby enhancing the uniqueness and accuracy of user position identification. Through extensive experiments with various HT patterns, the proposed KDE-RM optimization method consistently outperforms the conventional approach of evenly distributed IPs using Kriging and inverse distance weighting interpolation by up to 36.4%. This demonstrates the effectiveness and potential of the proposed method as a valuable tool for enhancing indoor localization.</p>","PeriodicalId":14959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142202692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
