These factors need to be studied in order to design a state-of-the-art computer tool or software. In this paper, we have presented a novice/expert analysis of a 3D modelling system in which user used two different sets of inputs i.e. keyboard/mouse and speech/gesture to draw the 3D object in AutoCAD. To analyse the user’s cognitive workload, we have used electroencephalography (EEG) signals and extracted various frequency bands and power spectral density (PSD) estimates. EEG signals and questionnaires were used to understand the user’s behaviour. The results showed that users find i t d ifficult to dr aw a 3D object using the multi-modal input speech/gesture compared to keyboard/mouse. A significant change in theta and alpha bands activity was observed during the analysis. We found that novice users were relatively comfortable in using multi-modal interface system then the expert users which indicates that novice users can learn to use the multi-modal input more quickly then the expert users.","PeriodicalId":356324,"journal":{"name":"2018 26th International Conference on Systems Engineering (ICSEng)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124992943","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}

For the solar panel images achieved by machine vision, it’s found that the available image stitching algorithms failed to detect enough valid feature points, which led to a large number of incorrect matching points. Here, we improve an algorithm to locate feature points and find dense match points. The proposed algorithm is based on SIFT. The improved algorithm (I-SIFT) can locate the position of feature points in every solar panel images, reducing the effect of invalid feature points on the experiment. Euclidean distance is used to preliminarily ensure the matching points, and then the relative horizontal position of every matching points is used to eliminate the mismatching points caused by the space similarity of the feature points, so that the matching accuracy is improved. Then the improved algorithm is used in the traditional Harris, SIFT and SURF stitching algorithm. The experimental results show that the success rate of I-SIFT algorithm can exceed 95% and the computation time has decreased by nearly 95% than that of the traditional algorithm. In conclusion, the improved algorithm implements accurately and rapidly stitching for solar panel images.","PeriodicalId":356324,"journal":{"name":"2018 26th International Conference on Systems Engineering (ICSEng)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125110400","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 paper presents an attempt to develop techniques for predictive data-based modeling based on machine learning data-driven approaches. To reach a good level of prediction we use a deep learning architecture based on artificial neural network (ANN). The neural network (NN) structure for crime prediction and the appropriate inputs for crime prediction is performed through: Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization (GS) for the selection of network inputs and virtual leave-one-out test (VLOO) for the selection of the optimal number of hidden neurons. Spatiotemporal distribution of the hot-spots is conducted and a methodology is developed for short-term crime forecasting using the long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNN) and convolutional neural networks (CNN).","PeriodicalId":356324,"journal":{"name":"2018 26th International Conference on Systems Engineering (ICSEng)","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124683637","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}

Meanwhile, the social spider optimization (SSO) is applied to op- timize the estimated shape in iteration globally, which can avoid the local opti- mal.
