Actually, the requirement to detect the suitable clustering solution without need for user-given parameters still remain challenging in unsupervised learning. This paper proposes an efficient and effective clustering method, named AF-DBSCAN (Automatic Fuzzy DBSCAN) based on the fuzzy clustering method FN-DBSCAN (Fuzzy Neighborhood Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise). The main idea of the proposed method is to cover the limitations of FN-DBSCAN by exploiting the benefits of k-neighbors plot, in purpose to determine the input parameter values. In fact, AF-DBSCAN avoids the manual intervention of non-experimental users in estimating the input parameters, the minimal threshold of neighborhood membership degree ∊1 and the minimal neighborhood set cardinality ∊2, which are hard to guess, and so permits to determine them more reasonably. In such way, the whole clustering process can be fully automated. Simulation experiments, carried out on a real medical data set, highlighted the AF-DBSCAN's effectiveness even for high-dimensions data sets, and showed that the proposed method outperformed the classical method since it provides a better clustering accuracy.","PeriodicalId":427695,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122176075","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}

Bats have a complex skeletal morphology, with both ball-and-socket and revolute joints that interconnect the bones and muscles to create a musculoskeletal system with over 40 degrees of freedom, some of which are passive. Replicating this biological system in a small, lightweight, low-power air vehicle is not only infeasible, but also undesirable; trajectory planning and control for such a system would be intractable, precluding any possibility for synthesizing complex agile maneuvers, or for real-time control. Thus, our goal is to design a robot whose kinematic structure is topologically much simpler than a bat's, while still providing the ability to mimic the bat-wing morphology during flapping flight, and to find optimal trajectories that exploit the natural system dynamics, enabling effective controller design.","PeriodicalId":427695,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124826933","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 this application, the so-called feature-based methods are used, more precisely, 2D regression-based methods. They use geometrically derived eye features from high-resolution eye images captured by zooming into the user's eyes. The main weakness of these methods is that the head of the user must remain motionless to avoid estimation errors. In some patients, some involuntary movements cannot be avoided and it is necessary to measure them. In this paper, we tackle the measurement of head position as a way to improve the gaze tracking on these precision demanding medical applications. As a first stage, we propose to obtain the eye corners coordinates as a reference point, since they are the most stable points in front of the eyeball and eyelids movements. The problem was handled as a regression problem using a coarse-to-fine cascaded convolutional neural network in order to accurately regress the coordinates of the eye corner. Particularly, with the aim of achieving high precision we cascade two levels of convolutional networks. Finally, we added temporal information to increase accuracy and decrease computation time. The accuracy of the estimation was calculated from the mean square error between the predictions and the ground truth. Subjective performance was also evaluated through video inspection. In both cases, satisfactory results were obtained.","PeriodicalId":427695,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133247959","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}

Such models are typically motivated by human visual perception and aim to represents all elements of the physical word ranging from individual objects to complex scenes using a small set of parameters. One of the de facto stadards to approach this problem are superquadrics - volumetric models that define various 3D shape primitives and can be fitted to actual 3D data (either in the form of point clouds or range images). However, existing solutions to superquadric recovery involve costly iterative fitting procedures, which limit the applicability of such techniques in practice. To alleviate this problem, we explore in this paper the possibility to recover superquadrics from range images without time consuming iterative parameter estimation techniques by using contemporary deep-learning models, more specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We pose the superquadric recovery problem as a regression task and develop a CNN regressor that is able to estimate the parameters of a superquadric model from a given range image. We train the regressor on a large set of synthetic range images, each containing a single (unrotated) superquadric shape and evaluate the learned model in comparaitve experiments with the current state-of-the-art. Additionally, we also present a qualitative analysis involving a dataset of real-world objects. The results of our experiments show that the proposed regressor not only outperforms the existing state-of-the-art, but also ensures a $270times$ faster execution time.","PeriodicalId":427695,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Work Conference on Bioinspired Intelligence (IWOBI)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115665626","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}
