We utilized its Lucas-Kanade optical flow vectors, the concept of divergence and focus of expansion to estimate the apparent depth level for each frame. Moreover, orientation binning is also introduced to supplement its invariance to translation. The experiment used an actual BSE performance and the results show its effectiveness in predicting palpation depth level. This algorithm has shown to be in realtime implementation with a frame rate of 30 frames per second that is very useful for implementing the computer vision-based BSE guidance system.","PeriodicalId":309548,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133888315","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 breast self-examination (BSE) multimedia training system that can be easily used by the local female population in Western Visayas can help awareness and prevention of this dreaded disease. This system incorporates Hiligaynon speech recognition for motion control commands. Hiligaynon language, popularly known as Ilonggo, is an Austronesian language spoken in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines with approximately 11 million speakers, 7 million of which are native speakers. This study focuses on a 5-word vocabulary Hiligaynon language speech recognition for the BSE multimedia training system with feature extraction using Mel frequency cepstrum coefficients and pattern recognition using genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm uses Euclidean distance, neighbourhood selection, two point crossover and elitist survival techniques. The system has an adaptive database system which improves the training and classification of the Hiligaynon words. The results showed that the combined Mel frequency cepstrum coefficients and genetic algorithm techniques used together with the adaptive database system can effectively recognized the different Hiligaynon words with 97.50% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":309548,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131192991","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 need to accurately describe turbulence gave rise to the development of empirical turbulence models. Accurate prediction of the onset of turbulence and flow separation is critical in estimating the lift and drag force on a rotating cylinder immersed in a fluid stream. The objective of this study is to narrow down the selection of turbulence models for the particular application. Using ANSYS CFX software, 28 model variations were tested. Through simple comparative analysis based on lift and drag prediction accuracy, the study suggested moving forward with either the Eddy-Viscosity Transport Equation or the SST-kω turbulence models.

The mechanism is powered by a solar system, thus the design was essentially prepared to attain the desired effectiveness in both the battery consumption and lifting power. A high-torque 12 V wiper motor was used to power the whole set-up. Initially, the design aims to operate the handpump between a constant rate of 60 to 120 rpm as they are the acceptable efficiency speeds of the piston system without destruction to the whole well set up. By using the software Solidworks and add-in tool Solidworks Motion, the 3D virtual prototype of the parts and whole mechanism were modeled and analyzed. Several design iterations were performed to accomplish the set goal of using only a small DC motor to power the lifting mechanism. Finally, a sample model prototype of the device was constructed and employed in an experiment set-up to establish the whole system performance and value in agricultural irrigation applications.","PeriodicalId":309548,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127749533","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 Ubiquitous network, wireless communication between consumers and service stations are imperceptibly done in real space through a number of directory servers for getting user requested services. When consumers need a Web service, they query directory servers. A Directory server discovers available service station for consumer using Web service discovery process. Malevolent service stations may attack directory servers during service discovery and disrupt the wireless communication in service delivery process. As a corollary, ubiquitous environment necessitates a definite level of trust to be built in wireless communication between service stations and directory servers for desired service discovery. In this paper, we have proposed Trusted Service Discovery against Malevolent Service Station (TSD-MSS) protocol with a trust based security approach. Proposed TSD-MSS depends on context aware architectural and computational model to prevent malicious behaviour in service discovery for consumers in ubiquitous wireless network. The outcome of proposed approach in simulated environment corroborates the claim of our research.","PeriodicalId":309548,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121432869","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 use of simulation tool, High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), the antenna was designed and optimized at 677 MHz. The actual field measurements and testing at the farthest distance of 2000 m around the service coverage area of PTV station helped in validating that the rectangular design has a maximum gain of-2.1623 dB, VSWR of 1.595, return loss of -14.0905 dB, and a bandwidth of 421.9 MHz.
