The datasets that were collected for predicting the electricity consumption are related to Islamic Republic of Iran - Mazandaran province pertaining to the years 1991 to 2013. The research objective is analyzing the electricity consumption rate in recent years and predicting future consumption. According to a study the electricity consumption growth rate between the years 2006 to 2013 and the years 1999 to 2006 equaled 28.41 and 73.53, respectively. The results of the research conducted using the regression model indicate a 2.48 relative error. The output of this prediction shows that the total electricity consumption rate increases about 3.2% annually on average and will reach 7076796 megawatts by the year 2020 that shows a 22.28% growth comparing to the year 2013.","PeriodicalId":163817,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IPRIA)","volume":"18 797 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125157733","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 particular this theory can be widely applied in Visual Tracking applications. Addressing the problem of sparse representation through minimizations methods can play a dominant role in the CS trackers (trackers based on CS theory). In contrast to the previous algorithms which usually solve the problem of minimization by using L1-norm, L0-norm minimization is used directly to achieve sparseness in our proposed method. Simulations and results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve the same or better accuracy with many less complexity than traditional algorithms which used interior-point method.","PeriodicalId":163817,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IPRIA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125965289","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}

Then, we use canny edge detection and support vector machine (SVM) classification method to categorize these blocks into smooth and non-smooth (non-edge and edge) classes. The VC technique is used to generate two image shares. A master share that is constructed according to the block classification results and then owner share is generated by comparing master share together with binary watermark according to the (2,2) VC technique. To verify the ownership of the image, watermark can be retrieved by stacking the master share and the owner share. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking scheme is completely imperceptible and also has high robustness against common image processing attacks.","PeriodicalId":163817,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IPRIA)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114521663","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}

Therefore, the problem of facial expression recognition (FER) attracts the growing attention of the research community in the recent years.

An effective facial feature descriptor is an important issue in the design of a successful expression recongnition algorithm. Although recently there have been certain progress in this domain, extracting a face feature descriptor stable under changing environment is still a difficult task. In this paper, we illustrate empirically the algorithm of person-independent facial expression recognition based on statistical local features such as Directional gradient Local Pattern (DGLP) and gradient local ternary pattern (GLTP). The combined DGLP and GLTP operator encodes the local texture of an image by computing the gradient magnitudes of local neighborhood as well as the angle of direction of the edge and converts those values into feature vector. The results obtained indicate that the combined DGLP and GLTP method performs better than other methods used for facial expression recognition problems in high-textured facial regions.","PeriodicalId":163817,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IPRIA)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115573029","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 problem of color recognition in outdoor is considerable when we are faced with glossy materials like automobiles. There is no powerful method to recognize color of a batch of pixels. Thus, for the first time, we propose a novel method to detect dominant color of a group of pixels.

This study proposes an intelligent feature subset selection approach with unspecified number of features based on Binary GA and Fuzzy Binary GA algorithms to discover most important variable or feature and facilitate an artificial neural network (ANN) classifier model which is applied for body fat prediction (BFP).

Lack of systematic identification of challenges causes some obstacles for the development of methods. In this paper, due to the abundance and diversity of challenges in event prediction system on time series, lack of a perfect platform for their systematic identification and removing barriers for the development of methods, a classification is proposed for challenging problems of event prediction system on time series.

The emission of infrared electromagnetic wave from the human face produces thermal images. Thus thermal images can be formed even in dark conditions, in which the formation of the visible image is impossible. However, the majority of the stored images in the recognition systems are visible. Thus, matching the thermal probe and visible gallery images can solve the night time face recognition problem. On the other hand, because of the different formation mechanism of these two types of images, there are lots of challenges in the matching process. Prototype random subspace approach is one of the most successful methods in the area of thermal to visible face recognition. In this paper, we have revised the recognition step of prototype random subspace approach by proposing Weighted Vote Fusion scheme. The proposed strategy has been tested on an available data set and the results show about 9% of improvement in recognition rate, comparing to the original approach.","PeriodicalId":163817,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (IPRIA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128037735","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}
