The surface profiles of the falling materials delivered from the rotary chute at various titled angle in the filling operation of the blast furnace in China Steel Corporation (CSC) were digitized during the course of burden discharge. Based on the rigid body transformation and the invariant features, 3D image registration algorithm was applied to find out the transformation between the measurement and the blast furnace. Afterwards, the developed data processing method was employed to determine the quadratic curve representing the surface profiles of the falling materials. Consequently, the trajectories standing for the moving paths of the raw materials were evaluated to provide valuable information for preventing blast furnace wall from serious worn-out as well as establishing burden distribution strategies for better productivity and stability.","PeriodicalId":340402,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Taiwan","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117223381","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}

Experimental results suggests that this algorithm accurately predicts the most dominant speaker at a rate of 83% for 11 clients in a combined video with 86% reduction in false dominant speaker classification, based on given a set of artificial speaker data.","PeriodicalId":340402,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Taiwan","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115622867","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 proposed scheme is composed of three parts: pre-processing, visual attention model generation, and exposure correction. To extract more visual cues for visual attention model generation, a pre-processing is used to modify the input image. After preprocessing, facial and non-facial cues are measured to generate visual attention maps. Based on visual attention maps, an exposure correction algorithm is utilized to adjust the exposure level of the input image and then create several intermediate results. After fusing intermediate results, a synthesized image with good visual quality can be obtained. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can deal with images with low and high exposures. The results also show that the proposed scheme outperforms existing methods.","PeriodicalId":340402,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Taiwan","volume":"56 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114134010","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}
