Due to its compactness and availability, drone has become an effective tool for searching survivors from confined space such as collapsed building or underground area. However, the current scope of research in this field is limited because the research tends to focus on increasing accuracy of 3d mapping, constructed by controlling quadrotor flight at disaster sites. Perceiving disaster environment is necessary for rescue mission, but finding victims at the earliest time is more critical for practical rescue operations. In this work, we propose an overall architecture for drone hardware that enables fast exploration of GPS-denied environment, and practical methods for victim detection are introduced. We employ DJI Matrice 100 and utilize hokuyo lidar for global mapping and Intel RealSense for local mapping. Our results show that fusing these sensors can assist rescuers to find victims of natural disaster in unknown environments, and the detection system is insensitive to illumination change.","PeriodicalId":353588,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"72 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116232949","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 solution to the motion control problem is proposed in two steps. Firstly, the control laws are proposed that can drive the robot to a goal position whilst observing the mechanical singularities associated with the system. Secondly, the control laws are adjusted so that the robot can avoid any number of fixed obstacles in the workspace and safely reach the goal position. The proposed algorithm is verified using computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":353588,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129096296","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 a recent work presented in ESA~2016, the author introduced a natural class of multigraphs called hierarchical-scale-free (HSF) multigraphs and showed that a very wide subclass of HSF is hyperfinite. Based on this result, a surprising result such that every property is constant-time testable for the subclass was obtained. However, this result is theoretical, and the algorithm obtained directly from it may not be practical. In this paper, first we present the result of our paper of ESA~2016, and next we consider what kind of properties are \"efficiently\" testable in practice. For this purpose, we consider hereditary properties. We show that for hyperfinite graph class, e.g., HSF, any hereditary property can be represented by the forbidden graph subset such that the number of graphs in the subset is bounded by a constant. From this result, it can be considered that to test a hereditary property is relatively easy.","PeriodicalId":353588,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122258875","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}

Numerous training classifications were performed on each of the classifiers with different sets of features. Amongst the three classifiers evaluated in this work, the Random Forest classifier is exhibiting the best and highest accuracy over others.

In this paper, we describe importance of a domain ontology development, reporting on our experience in a user-oriented applications development project. The project was designed to address issues related to both human users' access to and developers' understandability on developed record management systems. Through a formal methodology we developed a domain ontology model and promoted its unique significance specially for developing system solution.

In this paper, we investigate the charging scheme appropriate for wireless sensor networks deployed in a rectangular street grid of suburban and urban areas. The proposed charging scheme is intended to maximize the amount of energy received by the sensors by considering a sequentially optimized charging path. The path loss models used for the evaluation of energy received by a sensor are the Har-Xia-Bertoni model, the Hata model, and the empirical Friis model. It is shown that energy distribution of the sensors obtained by each path loss model substantially varies according to the path loss model.","PeriodicalId":353588,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114472644","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}
