In addition the existing navigation system is not easy to use for the visually impaired because it is developed for sighted people. In this paper, the pedestrian navigation system called “PullDog” for the visually impaired is developed. The high precision positioning by UHF band RFID and QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) called Michibiki and the route search algorithms for the visually impaired are studied. The PullDog is operated just two buttons and voice recognition for easy operation. The visually impaired get the route guidance by voice from the speaker of PullDog. The result of substantiative experiments with the PullDog inside and outside a building of railway station is also reported in this paper.","PeriodicalId":359355,"journal":{"name":"2016 Fifth ICT International Student Project Conference (ICT-ISPC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132851519","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 our proposed, we implement the K-shortest path algorithm which is Yen's algorithm for finding the diversity of routes. We design and collect all data from the graph database. We kept all data as a graph structure which represents the station as vertex and represents the path between 2 adjacent stations as an edge. Moreover, we make our consideration of 2 significant factors of a journey as time, fare over the trip.

Employers' selection criteria of potential candidate are usually based on the grade point average (GPA). Despite a student's intellectual ability, planning is a crucial step in ensuring good GPA. However, many students do not have the necessary skills and time to plan and control their GPA. An automated education planner system will be very helpful to assist the student in aiming for the best CGPA based on their current capabilities. Despite of the existence of course plan systems, students still fail distressingly to achieve their goals. In recent times, educational data mining techniques have been adopted to discover the knowledge of the educational environment and to improve the students' performance. Several techniques which are used in educational data mining are - Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, naïve Bayesian, Decision tree, etc. This research aims to explore the use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) as an assistive tool for university students to plan and improve their academic performance. The proposed personalized web-based academic planner is developed as an online record storage that keeps all of the students' academic records. Based on the student's current achievement, the system will propose the best path to enable the undergraduates to reach their goals using GA.","PeriodicalId":359355,"journal":{"name":"2016 Fifth ICT International Student Project Conference (ICT-ISPC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122895569","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 blurred boundary of a bladder is segmented based on the judgment of a radiologist and can be differed among radiologists. In this paper, DLMD-LS with Reinforcement Learning (RL) is proposed. It is an interactive system, where the parameter is adjusted to reflect the individual judgment. The weighted average method is used to update the distance that the boundary will be expanded, after the level set contour finishes evolving. The experiment on 30 MR slices demonstrated that DLMD-LS with RL had high segmentation accuracy and was adaptable to the new radiologist. It was also robust to outliers.","PeriodicalId":359355,"journal":{"name":"2016 Fifth ICT International Student Project Conference (ICT-ISPC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122503591","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 results of study indicated that education attachment, income level and pain level were positive relationship with perception of BTPR via cartoon animation. Interestingly, the communication of patients with the doctors had low positive relationship with the perception in comprehensibility aspect. This means that the BTPR via cartoon animation could be used as a primary tool to help patient practice to reduce their pain.
