As results, Intelligent Traffic Systems provides smarter and safer operational decisions with higher behavioural understanding. One of the important segments that improve identification is the paradigm of computer vision-based identification, which provides informative visual data of vehicles. In this paper, we review the current active body of knowledge on vehicle identification based on computer vision using Deep Neural Network's (DNN) sub-paradigm Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), by exploring different techniques and challenges. In proven in previous experiments, CNN presents a large accuracy and great results in object detection and classification. Therefore, the focus of the paper will be on the types of CNN in implemented in existing literature. Furthermore, a literature critique and analysis performance review of CNN methods for vehicle identification will be conducted. From the critique results, we further discuss future research that will further contribute to the body of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129366971","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 development of this system was used to reduce the effects of converging verticals distortion due to the inclined, forward facing pose and position of the navigation vision system of the agricultural robot. The mitigation of this distortion was achieved through relating the homography between the image plane view and the ground plane projection of the vision system's field of view (FOV) to create an auxiliary view of the crop. This auxiliary view represented an aerial view of the visible crop area within the camera's FOV. This aerial view was used to discern crop row geometry when used in conjunction with a dual segmentation technique to isolate crop plants from foreign vegetation. Through the implementation of this system, mitigation of converging verticals distortion and successful crop geometry detection for the intra-row navigation of an agricultural robot was achieved.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126410996","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}

Other applications include using the information from the pictures by the tour guide. CNNs help to identify whether the images belong to a specific class or not like a playground, classroom, dining room depending on the dataset. Different types of CNNs have been used to perform the classification task ranging from PlacesCNN, ImageNetCNN, HybridCNN and much more. PlacesCNN has been implemented using architectures namely AlexNet, GoogleNet and VGG. The objective of the paper is to study and analyze the performance for PlacesCNN based on VGG architecture to classify images into their correct classes along with determining the accuracy for the same. Using the pretrained model for PlacesCNN and the concept of transfer learning, we have been able to perform the task of scene recognition and achieve an accuracy of 98.25% for the same.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133924958","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}

As a result, there has been a need for effective dynamic management of IoT, cloud and edge resources, in order to address the existence of low-level constraints during resource migration. Nevertheless, the explosion of IoT devices and data has allowed orchestration of microservices to adopt an opportunistic approach to how applications and services are deployed in the edge in IoT platform. A notable approach has been osmotic computing that allows resources from a federated cloud to be able to diffuse from an ecosystem of higher solute (network properties and entities) concentration to solvent (applications, layered interfaces and services). We posit that, while computing resources and applications are able to move from the federated environment, to the cloud deployable models, to the edge, then to IoT ecosystem, there is a higher chance of susceptibility of threats and attacks that may be directed to the emerging edge applications/data due to dynamic emergent configurations. This paper proposes a 5-layer opportunistic architecture that adds security metrics across different levels of osmotic computing paradigm. The proposed 5-layer security architecture addresses the need for autonomously securing resources-edge computation, edge storage and emerging edge configurations as the computing resources move to a higher solute in heterogenous edge and cloud datacenters across IoT devices. This has been achieved by proposing security metrics that address the prevailing challenge with a degree of certainty.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131279373","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}

Currently in an eastern SCN at the ESKOM power utility in South Africa DNP3 protocol is utilized to communicate. This paper models the said SCN while using the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 protocol to communicate in order to improve performance in the network. Hence a model of a Substation Communication Network that is using the IEC 61850 protocol has been modeled in Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET). IEC 61850 is a protocol that can be used in a power utility to provide interoperability between different vendors of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED's). Most of the IED's sold by manufacturers for power utility networks support IEC 61850 protocol. The model has three scenarios and they are normal operation of a Substation, maintenance in a Substation and Buszone operation at a Substation. In these scenarios packet end to end delay of GOOSE, GSSE, SV and MMS messages are monitored. The throughput from the IED under maintenance and the throughput at the Substation RTU end is monitored in the Model. The design of the Substation Communication Network using IEC 61850 will assist when trying to predict the behavior of the network with regards to this specific protocol during maintenance and when there are faults in the communication network or IED's.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"280 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131311720","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}

It has become clear that the for-profit models of mainstream telecommunications companies will not address this state of gross inequality. There is evidence in the literature that Community Networks have the potential to address this digital divide. However there are limited models and guidelines available on what comprises the critical success factors within the broader ecosystem that comprise Community Networks. In light of this, this paper undertakes a qualitative analysis of subset of a recently compiled compendium of Community Network Case studies with a focus on North American and European regions. Drawing on the literature the People, Technology, Organisation and Environment (PTOE) framework was developed out of a synthesis of previous models. The PTOE framework is used as the lens to analyse the selected case studies. The findings present a range of elements of the Community Network ecosystem, which traverses the micro to the macro perspectives of critical success factors that relate to network implementation and sustainability. The findings indicate that the critical success factors include, amongst others, trust in technology, public support, collaborative capacity, access, appropriateness, technology affordability, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. The resultant framework provides a model for evaluating Community Networks in other settings and geographies. The model also serves as a basis to inform future implementations of Community Networks.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121362551","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}

One of the creative approaches is capitalizing on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as enablers in the creation, delivery and upgrading of educational content, administration and overall running of daily operations in and around the school environments. The goal of this paper is to reflect on of the potential usage of ICTs in basic education, identifying some of the possible challenges and ultimately proposing potential solutions towards ensuring maximum benefits from a policy perspective approach. This research employed a mixed method research approach, in a case study context, where the focus area was the Namibian basic education system. It was apparent from this research of the many potential applications of ICTs in basic education, chiefly informed by literature review as well as the guide from the survey previously conducted in the study area. We strongly believe the contributions of this research can be used widely during the design of contextualised solutions in the education fraternity as well as acting as a policy guide for ICTs implementation. This paper has significant contribution to the Namibian basic education sector on implementing an ICT usage policy to aid educational activity. These contributions include data gathered which shows statistics of how many teachers have skills in using ICT for delivering content for education.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129053546","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}

Therefore, early warning and predicting systems are imperative in ongoing underground coal mining exploitation areas. In this paper, a hierarchical approach made of the principal component analysis (PCA) and the artificial neural network (ANN) model is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy of methane levels. The PCA was used to evaluate those factors most influencing methane levels. The variables extracted by the PCA were used as inputs parameters to the artificial neural network ANN model. An ideal number of neurons was developed for both conventional inputs and PCA-extracted variables. To train the model four algorithms were employed. The algorithm which proved to have the highest accuracy was Levenberg-Marquardt, with a supervised method of learning adopted. The study demonstrates that the hierarchical model achieved better performance and slightly improved prediction accuracy than the ANN model with original input parameters. It is also proven that a higher prediction is dependent on the variables derived from the PCA and the training algorithm adopted.","PeriodicalId":274948,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Computing Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127835177","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}
