Thus, based on tremendous data of occupants in a corridor, an uni-directional pedestrian flow model is formulated. This model is composed of Artificial Neural Network and pedestrian movement model. Based on big data, 25 factors are chosen as input values in Artificial Neural Network by considering 5-nearest-neighbor interaction pattern. The proposed model is tested for validation in respect of fundamental diagram, density distribution under the steady movement state and individual relationship between density and velocity. Simulated data is overlapped with experimental results and previous datasets: with density increasing, the velocity decreases nonlinearly; as for the microscopic study, the simulated results shows that greater density of individuals leads to smaller speed, which agrees with human characteristics in real life.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"3 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131957381","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 objective of this work was to utilize the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) and the ratio index for bright soil (RIBS) along with band compositing techniques in order to map and delineate the extent of the coastal ecosystems along the coasts of Oman, in terms of mangrove vegetation, wetlands, sabkhas and coral reefs, respectively. Satellite data were acquired from the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) during 2018. Some oceanographic characteristics: tidal range, sea surface temperatures (SST) and the depth of the sea floor of Oman offshore region were also utilized to interpret the spatial extent of these coastal ecosystems. Results showed that the applied indices were efficient to highlight 14 locations of mangroves, 19 locations of wetlands, 2 locations of sabkha and 15 locations of coral reefs. It is observed that mangroves and wetlands are much related to high tidal range coasts, whereas coral reefs are contingent to shallow off-shores with SST of 22-30°C. These corals occur either along the main coast or adjacent to the islands of the country. Sabkha and salt marshes occur along extended coastal flats of low-lying sandy coasts. The present study proved that the spectral indices are good surrogates to map coastal ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132785060","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}

However, the phase retrieval for phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) often involves the problems, e.g., the noise, stepping error and phase wrapping. In the conventional way, each issue had to be addressed individually. In this paper, we propose the machine learning based method, which uses the neural network and learns features in an end-to-end manner. The proposed method can resolve the noise, stepping error artifacts and phase wrapping, simultaneously. The results are shown by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126173255","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}

Examples of location-aware influencers are the local news reporter, the city mayor, local business and others. Such influencers can be identified by the location that captures the biggest percent of the influencer's followers.Size of online social networks (OSNs), their API data limits, and lack of precise location data make it a challenging and timeintensive process to identify such influencers. This paper proposes an algorithm to establish, validate, and continuously update a repository of location-aware influencers via targeted collection.The evaluation of location-aware influencers is typically limited to small handlabeled datasets, but automating key steps allowed us to evaluate thousands of influencers. Our approach is verified using multiple datasets including influencers associated with city level locations via automatic Google searches. A repository of such location-aware influencers is of interest for content recommendation and for studying location related communities from influencer's followers. The approach is developed over Twitter but applies to other social networks.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127932993","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 Fabry-Perot resonant cavity antenna is formed by loading the structure above the feed antenna, and is simulated by HFSS.

The ability to control the continuum robot remotely and efficiently would be beneficial for many practical case, for example usage in narrow space, endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures application. The ability to glide through complex curvilinear pathways makes it ideally suitable to be used with solar cell application as it could offer the movement that can follow the sun motion. This could enhance the efficiency of energy transformation of the solar cell as optimum radiation distance could be obtained. In this paper, the design of continuum robot with motion control to be used as solar cell installation supporting structure would be discussed. The continuum robot movement is controlled by an elastic backbone-liked structure. The controller is designed for closed loop control using Arduino programming. The effect of solar cell weight on the top with the maximum of 3 kg is considered. The structure movement required include bending, rotating, extension and compression. The research results showed that the designed system has a potential to be used as a solar cell installation support with smooth motion.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124703162","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}
