In the network, each node is capable of sensing, tracking and counting people while communicating with the adjacent nodes of the network. Each node typically uses a 3D-sensing camera positioned in a downward-view but the designed framework can accept other configurations. We present an estimation method for the relative position and orientation of the depth cameras. This system performs background modeling during the calibration process, using a fast and lightweight segmentation algorithm.","PeriodicalId":417235,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115338826","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}

They ensure system reliability and minimize the utility's expenditure. Selection of the right customers and strategies is critical for a DR event. An effective DR scheduling algorithm minimizes the curtailment error which is the absolute difference between the achieved curtailment value and the target. State-of-the-art heuristics exist for customer selection, however their curtailment errors are unbounded and can be as high as 70%. In this work, we develop an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation for optimally selecting customers and curtailment strategies that minimize the curtailment error during DR events in SmartGrids. We perform experiments on real world data obtained from the University of Southern California's SmartGrid and show that our algorithm achieves near exact curtailment values with errors in the range of 10-17 to 10-5, which are within the range of numerical errors. We compare our results against the state-of-the-art heuristic being deployed in practice in the USC SmartGrid. We show that for the same set of available customerstrategy pairs our algorithm performs 10-3 to 10-7 times better in terms of the curtailment errors incurred.","PeriodicalId":417235,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115688208","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}

An SMS alarm with the measurements is then sent to hospitals to contact the patient or dispatch an ambulance in case he/she does not respond. The SMS also contains the patient's GPS coordinates. The decision whether an alarming SMS should be sent is based on the Qatar Early Warning Scoring (QEWS) system.

Finally, Structural Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM) is introduced to measure the similarity of palmprints and judge the palmprint category for classification.

The proposed algorithm aims to maximize spectrum efficacy by iteratively clustering the nodes into hotspots and slaves and allocating resources. This approach does not require any additional infrastructure. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly enhance the overall performance of the network by five times as compared to direct connection between the nodes and the base station, hence increasing the capacity of the cell.","PeriodicalId":417235,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129719397","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}
