Zone is a constant range that restricts the movement of the car. So, constant zone decreases operating efficiency. On the other hand, operating methods without zone, such as scheduled operating, are able to operate efficiently. However, there is a problem that the cars may collide. To solve the problem, we propose a method for operating MCE by using dynamic zone allocation focusing on safety and to operate efficiently. In this study, zone is not constant range and defined as the occupied section assigned to a car. In the proposal method, zone is allocated to a car according to assignment of call to the car. Through two simulation experiments, we confirmed effectiveness of the proposal method for safety and operation efficiency, and discuss the efficiency of the proposal method for two typical patterns of passenger transportation.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125143204","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 imaging system of this S3D camcorder is composed of, unlike in the case of conventional apparatus, first imaging system with zoom lens (L-ch) and second imaging system with short focus lens (R-ch). We developed new algorithm which generates a dense depth map by stereo matching of these asymmetrical L-ch and R-ch stereo zoom system, a new 3D image warping using depth image based rendering (DIBR) from L-ch and DM, and new occlusion hole filling by use of R-ch pixels.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127432599","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}

Through the integration of a curved road model the quality of motion vector fields, estimated by a predictive block-based motion estimator working on video signals which are captured by a front camera inside a car, is significantly increased. The optimization step is performed by modeling synthetic motion vector fields of typical driving scenes acting in an iterative step as additional motion vector candidates. The proposed enhanced approach which is effective for all kinds of driving situations provides a significant improvement in terms of objective and subjective performance while requiring only low computational overhead.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130216836","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 possibility of smart-grid is replacing the conventional one by introducing power routers. It inserts the information tag along with the power transmission. Important factors of the system, the classic transformers, are also not suitable for the above application since they lack of active control. Therefore, AC conversion systems are proposed to replace them. This paper focuses on the exploitation of nonlinear dynamics aiming to a faster and more agile AC/AC conversion.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124010579","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}
