Automation of capturing and real-time analysis of fruit fly social movements helps quantitative study of those behavior which in turns can be applied for studying human behavior. To achieve this, we present Virtual Reality environment setting to stimulate fruit flies behavior and tracking of their motions automatically in real-time. As an experiment in a real application, we selected study of mating behavior of fruit flies. Male fruit flies tend to extend their mating duration when exposed to rivals as published in previous biology studies. We designed a Virtual Reality environment where synthetic male fruit flies are virtually simulated to stimulate a male fruit fly to study the effect of rivals. Bezier curve fitting and Gaussian random distribution are utilized for movement simulation. A machine learning approaches (logistic regression) employed to track, detect, and classify fruit flies mating behavior. We performed connected component labeling as an operator for tracking and classification of mating and non-mating status for comparison purposes. The machine learning based approach shows superior result in terms of speed and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128021404","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 type of presentation limits people from promptly determining medical conditions or quickly finding desired information given the large volume of texts that needs to be read. We aim to tackle this as information visualization and extraction problems by creation of easy and intuitive user interfaces for visualizing medical information. We present both a novel graphical interface for visualizing a summary of medical information and an information extraction system that is able to extract and visualize the patient’s medical information from structured clinical notes. The graphical interface allows spatial-position based representations of medical information on human body images (front and back views) and temporal-time based representation of it through interconnected time axes. Medical histories are classified into several event categories and 6 physiological systems to enable efficient browsing of selected information. To extract visual tags from a given clinical note, we use natural language processing. We employ Metamap of 2014AA knowledge source for medical information extraction. We trained 1294 English clinical notes with a Time-Entity Detection model by Apache Open NLP to abstract the time expressions. Extracted location of illness is assigned into one of 6 physiological systems is displayed in spatial interface while the related data are denoted on a horizontal timeline of temporal interface.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126835965","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 general, some non-modeled parameters, wind disturbance, sensor noise and miscellaneous uncertainties cannot be easily quantified in UAV quadrotor systems. Changes of mass and inertia parameters for pick and place operations add more uncertainties to the system. Traditional controllers might not be robust enough to handle all aforementioned perturbation types. This arises the need of some perturbation compensation for guidance and stability. In this article, the complete system is synthesized as a combination of Hierarchical Perturbation Compensator (HPC) and a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC). With this compensation system, better tracking performance is demonstrated through analysis and simulation. The simulation response shows enhanced performance compared with other conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128684896","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 has been found particularly useful in the neural networks field since most successful neural systems often require complex structures to behave like universal approximators. However, there is a widely-held view stating that, to build an interpretable classifier, one might have to sacrifice some prediction accuracy. We want to challenge this belief by exploring the performance of a recently introduced granular classifier termed Fuzzy-Rough Cognitive Networks against low-level (i.e., traditional) neural networks. The simulation results have shown that this neural system can attain quite competitive prediction rates while featuring a shallow, granular architecture. As a bigger picture, this study paves the way for conducting a more thorough evaluation of granular versus low-level neural classifiers in the near future.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127555657","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}

To avoid probing the entire surface of objects which is a time-consuming task and considering the fact that psychological studies seem to support the idea that visual salient points are also salient by touch, we have determined the probing locations using an enhanced model of visual attention. A virtual tactile sensor based on the working principle of piezo-resistive sensors is simulated to capture tactile information. Four classifiers are then trained to learn the tactile properties of virtual objects belonging to four classes and are tested over new objects belonging to the same categories. The K-nearest neighbors algorithm outperforms all the other tested classifiers when the imprints are captured using large sensors of size 32 × 32 with low precision. An accuracy of 95.18% is achieved for this case.","PeriodicalId":305399,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Virtual Environments for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIVEMSA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129984865","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 particular, we (a) define a key strategy based on spectral signatures to select a set of highly informative multispectral bands for the system; (b) for the first time, introduce a pixel rearrangement technique that efficiently utilizes pixels from the network's feature maps that results into accurate pixelwise prediction images; (c) propose dual stage global and adaptive thresholding methodologies that transform the pixelwise prediction images to binary.

However, the actual road test has much difficulty to measure a driver's reaction and to ensure safety. Then we reevaluated the effectiveness of DS test in the neuroscience aspect. In this study, we measured the driver's reaction by the brain activity related with “recognition” and “judgment” out of 3 elements of driving for the traffic information on the actual driving and in the DS.
