This project aims to develop a wearable navigational assistive device, titled EyeVista, to facilitate visually impaired sprint athletes. It is a lightweight, easy-to-use, customizable and low-cost wearable jacket built-in with off-the-shelf based on computer vision techniques. Synthesis of research initially reflects the impact of the main barriers of a human guide and how to break down such barriers. In doing so, we hope to introduce an alternative to the current practice of having a human guide for blind athletes, overcoming the shortcomings of it. The designed system uses Raspberry Pi single board computer to process the real-time image captured by Raspberry Pi camera module to navigate the athletes within the assigned track and to avoid collisions. As a result, we believe the project EyeVista will empower the visually impaired sprint athletes to enhance their performance by easing their mobility by allowing the user to move within their relevant track lanes and avoid collisions without the support of a human guide and enhance the independence, safety along with the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":237290,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation for Sustainability (ICIAfS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133070469","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 complaint data is freely available for analysis and tracking of how efficiently and effectively the financial institutes handle the complaints lodged against them. Each complaint consists of attributes that can uniquely describe and identify it. These features have been exploited for data mining, analysis and predictions. The data warehouse creation and data analysis was done using Microsoft SQL Server Technologies. The data mining techniques such as Microsoft Decision Tree, Microsoft Naïve Bayes, Microsoft Time Series and Microsoft Neural Network models were used in this study. Based on the results, it was observed that there is a correlation between the growth of complaints in certain financial domains with regards to changes in the economic, political and regulatory forces. Probability predictions also show, how each product can get a particular issue-related complaint, how a particular issue can get a timely response, how a particular issue can cause a consumer dispute and what type of issues are mostly lodged via a particular submission method, etc. This information can be used in prescriptive analysis to enhance financial consumer services and also improve the response quality of automated consumer support systems.","PeriodicalId":237290,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation for Sustainability (ICIAfS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129808946","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 the absence of such UUAs, this NILM algorithm is capable of accurately identifying each of the turned-ON appliances as well as their energy levels. However, when there is an UUA or set of UUAs are turned-ON during a particular time window, proposed NILM method detects their presence. This enables the operator to detect presence of anomalies or unlearned appliances in a household. This quality increases the reliability of the NILM strategy and makes it more robust compared to existing NILM methods. The proposed Robust NILM strategy (RNILM) works accurately with a single active power measurement taken at a low sampling rate as low as one sample per second. Here first, a unique set of features for each appliance was extracted through decomposing their active power signal traces into uncorrelated subspace components (SCs) via a high-resolution implementation of the Karhunen-Loeve (KLE). Next, in the appliance identification stage, through considering power levels of the SCs, the number of possible appliance combinations were rapidly reduced. Finally, through a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation, the turned-ON appliance combination and/or the presence of UUA was determined. The proposed RNILM method was validated using real data from two public databases: Reference Energy Disaggregation Dataset (REDD) and Tracebase. The presented results demonstrate the capability of the proposed RNILM method to identify, the turned-ON appliance combinations, their energy level disaggregation as well as the presence of UUAs accurately in real households.","PeriodicalId":237290,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation for Sustainability (ICIAfS)","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115483093","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 capability of GPGPUs is very famous in the new era and mostly used for scientific computing which requires more processing power than normal personal computers. Therefore, most of the programmers, researchers and industry use this new concept for their work. However, achieving high-performance or high-throughput using GPGPUs are not an easy task compared with conventional programming concepts in the CPU side. In this research, the CPUs cache memory optimization techniques have been adopted to the GPGPUs cache memory to identify rare performance improvement techniques compared to GPGPU's best practices. The cache optimization techniques of blocking, loop fusion, array merging and array transpose were tested on GPGPUs for finding suitability of these techniques. Finally, we identified that some of the CPU cache optimization techniques go well with the cache memory system of the GPGPU and shows performance improvements while some others show the opposite effect on the GPGPUs compared with the CPUs.","PeriodicalId":237290,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation for Sustainability (ICIAfS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123690015","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}

Power quality (PQ) is a valued utility service where many customers are prepared to pay and get it. In the future, distribution system operators ought to decide, to provide their customers with distinct PQ ranges at different prices. Here, in this paper, a new control action to improve and maintain and enhance the power quality of an electrical power system is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy based distributed power flow controller (DPFC) is designed and put into action to compensate the voltage imbalances arising in a power system. This customized DPFC is an advanced FACTS device, which has its structure analogous to unified power flow controller (UPFC). DPFC comprises of both series and shunt converters, in which its three phase series converter is distributed over the transmission line as several single phase static converters ensuring high controllability and reliability at a low cost compared to an UPFC. A central controlling circuit is designed to supply reference signals to each of the individual controlling circuits of both series and shunt converters. This customized device is applied to a single machine infinite bus power system having nonlinear loads connected to it and is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment by using OPAL-RT 5600 Real-time digital Simulator. The results demonstrate the validation of proposed technique to enhance the power quality.","PeriodicalId":237290,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation for Sustainability (ICIAfS)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129819429","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 approach proposes to intelligently fuse the surrounding information senses via ultrasonic sensors and vision sensors. The intelligent component of the prototype serves in several facets including object detection and recognition. Extended Kalman filter is used to fuse the data emerging from homogeneous sensors and rule-based fusion is used to fuse the data from heterogeneous sensors. Feedback is provided via tactile and audio feedback. Critical obstacles of blind navigation like staircases are recognized by the Hough line detection in image processing. Rotations, which occur due to the body movements in the camera, correct using the fusion of data obtain by the inertial measurement unit which is connected to the camera. The results of the evaluations proved that the use of fusion of multiple homogeneous sensors improve the detection of a particular obstacle and fusion of vision and ultrasonic sensors improve the object detection identification of the obstacles.
