Owing to the difficulties of obtaining a complete and non-redundant dictionary, this paper proposes a hierarchical image fusion framework that applies layer-by-layer deep learning techniques to explore the detailed information of images and extract key information of images for dictionary learning. According to morphological similarities, this paper clusters source image patches into smooth, stochastic, and dominant orientation patch group. High-frequency and low-frequency components of three clustered image-patch groups are fused by max-L1 and L2-norm based weighted average fusion rule respectively. The fused low-frequency and high-frequency components are combined to obtain the final fusion results. The comparison experimentations confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed image fusion solution.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Simul. Process.

This paper aims at modelling travel patterns and predicting future travel behaviour of metro system smart card holders. We apply Gaussian mixture model (GMM) on time series to model user behaviour. We propose a new method based on the perplexity for finite GMM and use expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm to estimate parameters of GMM. In order to predict the future travel behaviour, we introduce the Gaussian process regression (GPR) to define distributions over GMM, which can not only tell the probability of travelling at a certain moment but also tell the reliability of the prediction. Experimental results show that our whole system in the centre of GMM and GPR can effectively mine the hidden knowledge of historical data of smart card, and thus model the travel patterns and predict future travel behaviour.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In this work, we present a normalised dynamics expressed in terms of dimensionless ratios. Our analysis and simulation of the passive bipedal gaits is realised mainly through bifurcation diagrams where a normalised leg length discrepancy is adopted as the bifurcation parameter. We report the exhibition of complex behaviours, namely the period-doubling bifurcation (PDB), the cyclic-fold bifurcation (CFB), the period-doubling route to chaos, the period-remerging scheme, the boundary crisis (BC), etc. We demonstrate also the exhibition of the Neimark-Sacker-2 bifurcation by investigating the tendency of the characteristic multipliers of the Jacobian matrix of the Poincare map.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int.

To improve its performance, this paper presents a new 2D density-based clustering algorithm, K-DBSCAN, which successfully reduces the computational complexity of the clustering process by a simplified k-mean partitioning process and a reachable partition index, and enables parallel computing by a divide-and-conquer method. The experiments show that K-DBSCAN achieves remarkable accuracy, efficiency and applicability compared with conventional DBSCAN algorithms especially in large-scale spatial density-based clustering. The time complexity of K-DBSCAN is O(N2/KC), where K is the number of data partitions, and C is the number of physical computing cores.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Simul.

The goal is to make effective the management of acquired data and to promote the realisation of cognitive systems which can sense the environment, reason, and properly (re)act for reaching some purposes. Anyway, the development of such systems asks for suitable approaches able to deal with issues like heterogeneity, sensor/actuator management, system reactivity, behavioural modelling, and context awareness. This paper proposes a multi-tier approach, based on concept hierarchies and sensor data fusion, dealing with the above aspects. The approach favours separation of concerns and abstractions. It relies on the use of the agent metaphor and statecharts. The iSapiens platform is suggested for implementation purposes. As a significant case study, the development of a smart museum located in Cosenza (Italy) is proposed.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Simul. Process.

Therefore, this paper concerns the design and implementation of multi-scroll chaotic attractors such as two-scrolls, three-scrolls and four-scrolls generated from a first-order delay differential equation. Modelling a time-delayed feed-back chaotic system considers a simple nonlinearity piecewise-linear (PWL) function to generate the chaotic attractors with an odd/even numbers of scrolls. The delayed feedback consists of a cascade of Bessel filters and the design of a circuit which generates a string of scrolls chaotic attractors depending on the number of intersection points of nonlinearity of PWL function with a state variable. The simulation results reveal that the multiple-scroll chaotic attractors can be successfully reproduced using PSpice. The implementation based on circuitswitching mode with simple components such as resistors, capacitors, and operational amplifiers is also presented.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Initially, a backstepping-based controller is designed for synchronisation of two similar fractional order chaotic systems in master-slave configuration. The controller obtained is divided into two parts with one part transmitted through the communication channel whereas the other part has to be designed at the receiver end so as to obtain synchronisation between master and slave system. Further, only two signals are transmitted out of which one has an embedded message signal and the other is a complex combination of master states which will be used for synchronisation purpose at the receiver end for recovery of message signal. The initial conditions, system parameters, fractional orders, the structure of controller and the combination of master system states form a large key set which should be known is advance in order to breach the security. Here, the scheme for secure transmission of speech signal is presented first and further a scheme for image encryption is given. The simulation results and security analysis using different quantitative measures are presented at the end to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":266151,"journal":{"name":"Int.
