Using combined 2D and 3D face recognition is an alternative method to deal with face recognition. A novel multimodal face recognition algorithm based on Gabor wavelet information is presented in this paper. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Linear Discriminant analysis (LDA) have been used for size reduction. The system has combined 2D and 3D systems in the decision level which presents higher performance in contrast with methods which use only 2D and 3D systems, separately. The proposed algorithm is examined with FRAV3D database that has faces with pose variation and 95% performance that is achieved in rank-one for fusion experiment.","PeriodicalId":166647,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Symposium on Computers & Informatics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121255618","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}

According to importance of this issue in planning power transmission lines, appropriate areas have been accreted for numerous researches. Widespread usages of GIS application and its combination with GA base methods offer practical solution for power transmission lines design. In this paper, we first study about efficient criteria for selecting appropriate points for installing towers, and then we can evaluate available points for installing power towers by one of the multi-criteria decision-making analysis, named Analytic Hierarchy Process. As we know, all of these nodes are not suitable for being one of the transmission line Points. So by using this procedure (AHP) we calculate cost function of transmission line between towers. Finally, with GA algorithm, the best and the most optimum route between source and destination will be selected.","PeriodicalId":166647,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Symposium on Computers & Informatics","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125172723","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 topographic map consists of various semantic layers of overlapping information, differentiated primarily based on colour. Hence, to extract the contour layer from a topomap, colour segmentation algorithms are employed. However due to scanning and inherent features of topomap, colour space selection which provides efficient segmentation results becomes essential. The method proposed uses PCA as feature selection approach to select the colour features of topomap. The clusters are further processed to map to the layers of topomap using spatial properties.","PeriodicalId":166647,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Symposium on Computers & Informatics","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117098198","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}

This method has an inherent problem when color overlaps between skin and none skin regions In this paper a skin detection system based on a regional property of objects, called; Lambertian reflection is proposed. Skin is a none-Lambertian surface. In order to use this feature, first, a Single Gaussian Model (SGM) is used to detect skin like pixels in an image. From detected skin regions, ones having none-Lambertian surface property are detected as final skin regions. To detect none-lambertian skin regions, an exponential is fit the histogram of potential skin regions and based on the fit, it is decided if the region is skin or not. By incorporating this feature the False Positive detect rate (FPR) is greatly decreased.","PeriodicalId":166647,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Symposium on Computers & Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129075188","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}

Nevertheless such websites are sometimes not updated, do not provide required information or the worst case they are abandoned despite the fact that software developers have fulfilled the requirements of the users, and the systems have been deployed successfully. Hence, such websites require a dynamic web design that can delegate responsibility to each staff in ensuring the contents are always updated either to be shared among the staff or the public. This paper proposes an approach called EPISoDe that directly integrates organisations' policies as part of functional requirements in software development in this case we focus on website design and its implementation of higher learning institutions. We have deployed the proposed EPISoDe approach in a prototype called DyWeMS that provides an engine of a dynamic web design. We evaluated the approach on an official website of a school in a higher learning institution using DyWeMS dynamic engine. It implies that an organisational official website has the potential to be a one-stop information and knowledge centre that reflects organisations' history and legacy using the proposed EPISoDe approach that promotes delegation of responsibilities among the staff with the support of dynamic web design.","PeriodicalId":166647,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Symposium on Computers & Informatics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128052775","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}

For that, this paper describes a proposed methodology for the integration process, involving two elements: a profile and a method.
