We improve the flow fields based path planning approach by avoiding typical obstacle hugging behavior. Flow field path planning defines the potential at each node of an environment which allows a large number of agents to traverse the environment while avoiding the task of calculating paths for each individual agent. This approach maintains the same benefit of typical flow field path planning with the addition of avoiding paths that are too close to obstacles. This method can be referred to as Valley Field Path Planning. In the general method, this algorithm takes two major steps. Firstly, the obstacle potential field that results in a low potential in regions farthest from the obstacles. The second step of the algorithm is to find potential provided that the goal node corresponds to a higher potential at nodes farther. The weighted sum of these two potential fields results in a flow field that avoids obstacle hugging. To avoid the local minima problem with this approach, $A^{ast}$ path planning can been introduced with the benefit of a configurable deterministic path at the cost of calculating the path on a per agent basis. The results show that this combination of an obstacle potential field and the A* search algorithm results in an efficient and inexpensive way to generate a configurable path.","PeriodicalId":245321,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th International Conference on Smart Communities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT, IoT and AI (HONET)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116596687","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}

These bio-markers are then further used for cancer diagnosis. Digitized tissue slides contain multi gigapixels which is why automatic tumor segmentation methods have been developed. However, these methods fail to delineate accurate boundaries as well as are unable to detect objects at multiple scales. Therefore to eradicate this problem we have proposed Multi-scale Dilated U-Net (MD-UNet) which performs feature extraction at multiple scales and delineate accurate boundaries. MD-UNet is trained on 5 Nuclei Segmentation datasets each belonging to different organ of human body.

It has become an effective research area as an important aspect of image processing and the building block of image localization, detection, and scene parsing. Object classification from low-quality images is difficult for the variance of object colors, aspect ratios, and cluttered backgrounds. The field of object classification has seen remarkable advancements, with the development of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). Deep neural networks have been demonstrated as very powerful systems for facing the challenge of object classification from high-resolution images, but deploying such object classification networks on the embedded device remains challenging due to the high computational and memory requirements. Using high-quality images often causes high computational and memory complexity, whereas low-quality images can solve this issue. Hence, in this paper, we investigate an optimal architecture that accurately classifies low-quality images using DCNNs architectures. To validate different baselines on low-quality images, we perform experiments using webcam captured image datasets of 10 different objects. In this research work, we evaluate the proposed architecture by implementing popular CNN architectures. The experimental results validate that the MobileNet architecture delivers better than most of the available CNN architectures for low-resolution webcam image datasets.","PeriodicalId":245321,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th International Conference on Smart Communities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT, IoT and AI (HONET)","volume":"5 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116675435","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 AMPC, the plant model states are changed in every cycle along with the MPC controller to update the plant parameters in a precise manner, which is a major concern due to its non-linear behavior. Moreover, the comparative analysis of coupled conical tank system with other controllers like Fractional order PID (FOPID) controller and PID controller is carried out.

For computing the path, the controller matches the packet with all ACL policies irrespective that whether the hosts of an ACL policy are connected or not to the network. It incurs longer processing delay at the controller, which causes a longer end-to-end delay for the data packets and limits the controller's scalability. This paper suggests a novel mechanism called Dynamic ACL policy Implementation (DAI), for SDN, to address this problem that matches the controller's packet with only active ACL policies. Active ACL policies are those whose hosts are connected to the network. This mechanism reduces the processing delay at the controller and would reduce the end-to-end delay for data packets. Moreover, this will increase the scalability of the SDN controller because the saved timing could be used by the controller to process other tasks.

Instead of limiting the line rating to the fixed value in Static Line Rating (SLR) based on worst conditions, DLR uses the line monitoring sensor and weather monitoring system to provide the actual line operating condition. TNB, as the power utility operator in Malaysia, always aims to find the best solution to improve overhead line performance. To date, two DLR sensors have been installed at selected line spans and the DLR data for these lines is accessible via a web portal of the system. However, the current DLR data is limited only to the line span with the installed sensors. Therefore, this paper attempts to provide the DLR data based on weather parameters that will be useful for line rating indication without line sensor installation. A detailed comparison of DLR data is analyzed between the weather-based calculation and the existing system at the line with sensor and it shows a consistent pattern between both DLR data. This work will then serve as a base for future research in the weather-based calculation to obtain DLR value for TNB grid optimization.","PeriodicalId":245321,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 17th International Conference on Smart Communities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT, IoT and AI (HONET)","volume":"433 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128721451","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}
