This work is to develop an atherosclerosis diagnosis system using fuzzy logic and to construct a prototype of atherosclerosis risk monitor. Simultaneously, the system is validated by comparing the result obtained from the system and the one from the prototype. Five membership functions are setup such as age, body mass index (BMI), intima-media thickness (IMT), blood pressure and blood glucose level, from 20 volunteers males and females. The output fuzzy sets are divided into Healthy, Low risk, Mid risk, High risk, and Very high risk. This leads to the awareness level of people thus improve the societal health. The constructed prototype is validated by inserting the data and reconfirmed the diagnosed result on the display. It showed that the prototype has 95% realibility since the output of the system is calculated with 100% low risk (LR) of atherosclerosis.","PeriodicalId":404467,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing (ICVISP)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117144710","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}

But limited by the camera resolution, small or fuzzy objects can not be effectively observed. Therefore, repairment of high-definition images has become one of the important problems to be solved. In recent years, the development of the deep learning method has effectively solved the loss and blurring of images, but because of the difficulties in training and the speed of calculation it can only be used with low-pixel images. Therefore, we propose a method for superimposing images first with the content and textual recovery for the defaced area. We use unsupervised learning GANs and trained VGG network to restore holes and missing areas of the image, and then enlarge it through CNN method. Our preliminary results show that high resolution image restoration speed has been greatly improved, and details become sharper than using traditional method.","PeriodicalId":404467,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing (ICVISP)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115072568","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}

It is very common that during such situations communication is interrupted due to physical damage of network devices, network congestion and interruption of supporting network infrastructure. Communications during such incidents can be the distinguishing factor between life and death for the affected population. Without communications, first responders might find it difficult to locate and rescue trapped victims during disaster recovery operations due to lack of synchronized operations.

Gyroscopes is used as the main sensor for attitude estimation and another two sensors are used to correct drift error of gyroscopes. In this paper, the performance of NCF SO(3) is explored on performance in highly dynamic manoeuvres in real-time. Real-time experiments were conducted to compare its performance with conventional Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to exploit the positive features of NCF SO(3) for small-scale aerial robot with limited on-board processor memory cases. The experimental results show the proposed real-time filter has excellent estimated attitude data and can reduce the computational cost, compared to EKF.

Due to the existed challenge and its great significance, a large amount of research has been conducted for image de-hazing. Among the image haze removal methods, the algorithm based on dark channel prior is proved to be the most effective. Furthermore, the introduction of guided filter has boosted its efficiency to a large extent. However, the requirement for transmission refinement and the assumption that the transmission is the same in each colour channel still make the DCP concept based methods time consuming and suffer from colour distortion. To solve this problem, an approach named as Image De-hazing Based on Polynomial Estimation and Steepest Descent Concept (IDBPESDC) is proposed, which derives the pixel-wised transmission that does not require any further refinement. Additionally, image de-hazing procedures based on the steepest descent concept are adopted so that the objective of saturation enhancement under the minimum hue change constraint is achieved. Experiments are conducted on one hundred hazy images, processed by the proposed method and four other available approaches. Results are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively, which verified the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":404467,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing (ICVISP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124939102","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, faced with the faster real-time processing of remote sensing images, the SLS algorithm's throughputs is always constrained by the self complexity and the on-chip resources. A new method based on MIMO for balancing resource and throughputs is proposed to segment the sea and land via edge detection. Firstly, according to the situation that the input and output data rate is not equal, the principle of MIMO is introduced to redesign the edge detection structure to double the bandwidth. Second, multi-port cache brings storage resources, which have to be reused, and reduce resource usage. Finally, the parallel sliding widdows method is adopted to usd in piplines of image outputing. The experimental results show that, compared with the state-of-art structure, this method performed better in hardware utilization and bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":404467,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing (ICVISP)","volume":"2 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126098822","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 method of wind velocity estimation using an IMU installed on a tethered balloon is described. The system of a balloon tethered to a ground station acts as a measuring instrument for wind approximation. The wind-responding motion of tethered balloon is captured with the utilization of a standard set of on-board sensors (i.e., accelerometers, gyroscope, thermometer, and barometer). An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) technique is implemented for the wind estimation with the use of an estimated motion of spherical balloon. The performance of the developed method in order to measure the wind speed in variations of frequencies is determined. The limitation of the system performance is found to be due to the delay in the filter and performance of the selected sensor set.","PeriodicalId":404467,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing (ICVISP)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126237833","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}
