Thai Health organisations have been focusing on the more rural areas to help decrease parasitic spread and infection, through use of education and life style alterations. The majority of children of the young populous of whom live in rural areas lack adequate health knowledge and live on their rural beliefs and culture, which is often to the detriment of their standard of living. Presently locals still lack both technology and the tools necessary to reach a solid base of understanding of public health. In this study, we plan to implement multimedia with use of animation to create a set of versatile tools to alter the behavioral habits of local hill tribe-Karen with a secondary goal of improving IT skills for people in the rural area.","PeriodicalId":356009,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"114 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120908522","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 matched STPM requires the transmission for every frame images. Here, the commonly \"foreman\" video input is extracted into 300 frame images. Each image is inserted into the MPEG-4 image transmission system over the Nakagami-m block-fading channels with m = 1.5 2.0 and 2.5. The system performance in in term of the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and word error rate (WER) are summarized at 7b = 3.75 and 5 dB.

The color feature is extracted by quantifying the YUV color space and the color attributes like the mean value, the standard deviation, and the image bitmap of YUV color space is represented. The texture features are obtained by the entropy based on the gray level cooccurrence matrix and the edge histogram descriptor of an image. The shape feature descriptor is derived from Fourier descriptors (FDs) and the FDs derived from different signatures. When computing the similarity between the query image and target image in the database, normalization information distance is also used for adjusting distance values into the same level. And then the linear combination has used to combine the normalized distance of the color, shape and texture features to obtain the similarity as the indexing of image.

Particularly, tattoos are raising obvious evident attention because of their visual and demographic traits as well as their increasing prevalence. However, tattoos on human skin are complicated and large invariance in both structure and skin surface. In order to improve tattoo image retrieval and matching, this paper proposes an approach of tattoo skin detection and segmentation using the image negative method in the pre-processing part. The process is composed of three steps. The first one is the skin detection where we use a variety of skin patches to do the task of human skin colour segmentation using the HSV model, especially, Asian skin colour. Then, in the second step, the image negative method is used for detecting the clear graphic image of the tattoo segment. Finally, we extract the tattoo segment from the skin area of the negative image and, as a result, the tattoo negative image is obtained and can be used for retrieval. Our experimentation has been carried out based on the dataset of tattoo images, gathered from Thai Criminal Records Division - Royal Thai Police, Kingdom of Thailand. Based on the concept of CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval), SIFT (Scale Invariance Feature Transform) has been employed in the process of image matching and retrieval. The result has illustrated that the tattoo skin detection and segmentation are efficient and effective for tattoo image retrieval, and, also, reduce the possibility of illogical matches.","PeriodicalId":356009,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133933240","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}

With this dynamic topology, ad hoc network presents many specific problems which had influence on solution that assure QoS such as multimedia applications. However, the rapid growth in number and diversity of real-time network applications has made it imperative to consider the impact of end-to-end delay requirements of traffic on network. The main problems are: node mobility and link failure. Hence, there is a need for efficient routing protocols to allow the nodes to communicate with some QoS guarantee. In this work, the AutoRegressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is used to forecasting resources to meet the QoS requirements in ad hoc networks. We apply this model in Ad hoc On demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) protocol. The results obtained show that the combination of the AOMDV protocol with the time QoS forecasting mechanisms for real-time service support based on ARMA processes performs better than based on AR processes and the conventional AOMDV.","PeriodicalId":356009,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131319600","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 method for detecting this danger is proposed based on ordinary image or video captured device as anyone who own car can buy, using properties in every still color image to extract light source and eliminate unconcerned objects such as some reflects on pavement, background color from own light beams, and then find the most area in picture to determine whether it is dangerous glare or not.

Power-gating (PG) brings a big benefit for leakage power reduction, but it makes an instruction scheduling difficult because applying PG usually takes dozens or hundreds of NOP cycles. To estimate the energy consumption of such power-gated VLIW data-path, an optimization of instruction scheduling for minimization of energy consumption is necessary. However, such instruction scheduling usually takes long time. This paper proposes a new metric for rough energy estimation taking into account power-gating effect. Proposed metric is constructed by application, architecture parameters, and power-gating parameters. Experimental results show that the correlation coefficient between proposed metric and energy consumption taking into account PG effect was more than 0.84, and the energy estimation by proposed metric is obtained less than one second.","PeriodicalId":356009,"journal":{"name":"2013 13th International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124290170","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 standard considers only the received signal strength although the velocity of mobile station is also an important factor because it makes handover delay.
