In this paper, we aim to improve the precision of a state-of-the-art method in RGB and HSV spaces. Although the efficiency of this state-of-the-art method, the red segmentation in RGB space has some false positive detections especially at night, and the red segmentation in HSV space detects the black pixels with red pixels as a region of interest. In order to improve the precision of this method, we propose in this paper to combine the two segmentations. We also propose changing the threshold of the red segmentation in HSV to remove non-red pixels and to extract red pixels with low saturation. In addition, we make some modifications on the threshold of the red segmentation in RGB space to improve its performance. The results obtained in experiments show that our method detects more accurately red color of traffic signs under variety of light and weather conditions compared to the state-of-the-art method.","PeriodicalId":231379,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Information, Communication and Networks (ICICN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128254437","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}

We quote the state equations and mathematical analysis of the Lorenz system. Afterward, we demonstrate simulation results to study and analyze the dynamic behavior of the overall system. The examples indicate a variety of ways in which chaotic behavior can arise in electronic circuits. Finally, we introduce an Arduino-based implementation of the Lorenz system.

The system adopts direct modulation technology combined with multiple subcarriers multiplexing, which includes 5G low frequency and millimeter-wave band. By transmitting multiple signals at the same time, the capacity of communication is expanded. In addition, OFDM is combined to further improve the spectral efficiency. Through simulation analysis, the results show that when the optical fiber transmission distance is 50km, the bit error rate (BER) of uplink and downlink is lower than $3.8 times 10^{-3}$.

The paper proposes an intelligent relay selection mechanism for FSO communication. We introduce machine learning technology into channel and network traffic estimation to reduce the network outage probability.

However, multi-level readings interfere with the threshold voltage in the cells, increasing the probability of bit errors and accelerating cells wear. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an LLR soft-sensing method based on a broad learning system (BLS) to replace multi-level reading, which improves accuracy of sensing from 97.1% to 97.3% by using the raw bit error rate (RBER) as one of the inputs. The output classification probabilities of the network model are used to calculate the LLR. Compared with the multilayer perceptron model, the adoption of BLS hugely decreases the computation amount of network training from 113 epochs to 5, making on-chip retraining feasible. The proposed BLS-based LLR soft-sensing method will be of great application potential in the intelligent error control of non-volatile memories.","PeriodicalId":231379,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Information, Communication and Networks (ICICN)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131840719","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 paper proposes a novel Entities and Relations Aware Graph Convolutional Network (ERA-GCN), with an encoder-decoder framework which jointly embeds both entities and relations in a multi-relation graph. In the encoder end, ERA-GCN uses a weighted graph convolutional network to capture both graph structure and neighborhood information. In the decoder end, we utilize Conv-TransE to retain the translational property between entity and relation embedding, leading to better link prediction performance.
