However, pairwise granger causality test has the drawback of generating false positive causality, which is an indirect causal influence between two nodes mediated through a third node. In 1984, Geweke proposed the conditional Granger causality model, which enabled the model to eliminate false positive causal connectivity and accurately identify the causal relationships between two nodes in a high-dimensional dataset. The Matlab software tool GCCA realizes the calculation of conditional causality. For a given network, GCCA finds out all the triangular causal relationships (X~Y, Y~Z, X~Z) and calculates the causality among all three nodes. However, it is not necessary to calculate among all the three-node combinations as there may not be significant causal connectivity between any given two nodes. In additional, the full calculation of conditional granger causality could be slow. Here, we proposed a new test named Fast Causal Connectivity Analysis (FCCA) as a fast and approximative test for causal connectivity. We compared the performance of GCCA and FCCA using a time series fMRI dataset and showed that FCCA has acceptable accuracy and theoretically faster run time.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"13 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":"116652723","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}

PM10 is the particle pollution with diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers. Exposure to particle pollution is a public health hazard which leads to serious diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and even cancer; especially in elderly, children and sensitive people. It is crucial to predict the concentration of PM before-hand so that people can take precautionary measures and avoid the hazardous impact of pollution. These days the gradient boosting is one of popular methods in regression and classification tasks. In this study, we predict the PM10 concentration using Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) algorithms after combining meteorological, emission rate data and output features of Community Multi-Scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. All the missing values are removed because handling them is quite challenging and requires feature engineering. The results show that XGBoost performs better than LightGBM in terms of prediction estimation with the RMSE of 12.846; but takes longer to train and tune the model's parameters. RMSE of LightGBM is 12.9066, which is slightly higher; but on the contrary, it is 29 times faster than XGBoost.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"18 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":"128830816","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 this paper, we develop a low complexity model, and we experiment with a variety of parameters to determine the performance of these models on the FER2013 dataset relative to the complexity of the models. We show that we are able to obtain an accuracy of 70.86% on the test FER images which approximately matches the winning entry to the FER2013 competition but our model is 5 times smaller in size. We show that we are able to reduce the model size 5 times more, resulting in a model with fewer than 500,000 parameters, and still maintain an excellent accuracy of 68.43% which would make this model ideal for resource constrained environments.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"57 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":"124631060","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}

Constrained by the fixed and immovable shape, the typical adaptive filter can't full use the information behind the digital signal. Stimulated by this problem, a lot of work have been fulfilled in order to acquire a more flexible filter shape. In this paper, we propose a novel filter architecture named as the movable shape filter. Through adding the position parameters to the typical filter, finer elimination results have been reached.

The digital self-interference cancellation (DSIC) is the main means of dealing with self-interference. The performance of the typical DSIC is constrained by the elimination capacity of the nonlinear distortion. Based on the characteristic of the nonlinear signal caused by power amplifiers, memory polynomial can portray it properly. Encouraged by this characteristic, we propose a novel DSIC structure to achieve a better efficiency. The auxiliary receiver chain named as the pre-processing stage in this paper is included to process the linear part of the self-interference signal. Moreover, the pro-processing stage provides the convergence direction of the adaptive filter. Shorter convergence time and lower mean square error (MSE) are reached. The numerical results furnished by the realistic and rigorous simulations substantiate the efficiency of the proposed architecture.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"21 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":"132402961","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}

A probabilistic model is incorporated to estimate the likelihood of finding a crowd-shipper for a given compensation. The model is applied to a logistics company based in Bandung, Indonesia. Results indicate significant advantages in using crowd-shipper as opposed to the traditional method. Specifically, costs can be reduced by about 20% and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions can be reduced by 21% when a base scenario price sensitivity is considered.

For this reason, the KEPCO Research Institute developed a new inspection drone system that can automatically fly a predetermined flight path based on the GPS coordinates of steel towers, filming a video of power transmission lines with a high definition camera and a thermal imaging camera. In this system, a camera gimbal with the cameras was still controlled by a human operator from a long distance away. When the drone approached close to a steel tower, however, the camera gimbal was often unable to be controlled and real-time video transmission for the gimbal operator was sometimes interrupted due to radio-frequency interference from steel structure and energized power conductors. To solve such a control problem in the field, we also developed an auto-tracking camera gimbal that can automatically track and photograph power facilities on the basis of Deep Learning. With the automatic gimbal, the entire inspection process can be fully automated. The effectiveness of the developed overall system was confirmed through field tests.","PeriodicalId":346739,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing","volume":"36 1 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":"114220088","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}

Two compressive measurement modes were investigated. One was based on subsampling of the original measurements. The other was based on coded aperture camera. It is important to emphasize that conventional trackers require the compressive measurements be reconstructed first before any tracking and classification processing steps begin. The reconstruction is time-consuming and may also lose information. Our proposed approach directly uses compressive measurements and a deep learning tracker known as You Only Look Once (YOLO), which is fast and can track multiple objects simultaneously, was used to track objects. The detected objects are then recognized using another deep learning model called residual network (ResNet). Extensive experiments using infrared videos from long distances were conducted. Results show that the proposed approach performs much better than conventional trackers, which failed to deal with compressive measurements.
