In this paper, we propose a novel method of solving such problem for global localization by incorporating a multi-objective evolutionary approach to resample particles with two objectives, including particle weights and population distribution. By employing a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), our approach is capable of enhancing the exploration ability to improve population diversity while maintaining convergence quality to successfully localize the global optima. Simulation results have confirmed that localization performance using the proposed approach is significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121861567","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, aerial robots are difficult to control, frequently leading to accidents. In the case of indoor aerial robots, it is furthermore difficult to ensure that operators retain line-of-sight. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted on robots capable of autonomous flight, for example, in regard to hovering, movement to a specified destination, obstacle avoidance during flight, and object detection. During autonomous robot flight, measurement of unit position is extremely important. The present research assumes indoor flight, so GPS-based systems cannot be used.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127842569","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}

Various situations such as loss of phone, passing on to family members or friends require us to consider continuous modes of passive authentication. This paper explores how typing heat maps can improve user authentication for touch enabled devices. By revisiting the traditional typing digraph intervals, normally associated with typing biometric user authentication, this research investigates the strength of various features for user identification on smartphones. Considering the different methods of typing on a portable small device as opposed to the mechanical keyboard or pressure sensitive tablets, this research takes the touch screen data to present a new set of features which can be used as a passive mode of continuous authentication. Given the continuous use of the device by the owner, a multilayer perceptron neural network is believed to be a plausible and viable approach for this task, which is also understudied for smartphones. The findings in this research highlight the strength of various touch related features in typing signatures.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115351499","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}

This can be interconnected with TV and a smart-phone controls game content instead of the conventional TV's remote controller.
