In contrast with existing state-of-the-art localization techniques focusing on static outdoor or indoor environments, the adverse effects, generated by moving obstacles in busy indoor spaces, are considered in this work. In particular, the problem of occlusion removal is converted into a separation problem of moving foreground and static background. A low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition approach is used to solve this problem efficiently. Moreover, a SfM with RT (re-triangulation) is adopted in order to handle the drifting problem of incremental SfM method in indoor scene reconstruction. To evaluate the performance of the system, three data sets and the corresponding query sets are established to simulate different states of the indoor environment. Quantitative experimental results demonstrate that both query registration rate and localization accuracy increase significantly after integrating the authors' improvements.","PeriodicalId":432255,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Due to this, thin and dispersed oil concentration, facies changes and oil complexes, and strong segmentation, results in poor comparability between wells and conventional methods of seismic reservoir prediction has been more difficult to meet the development needs of the block. Therefore, the introduction of methods of seismic data structure characteristics, with a method based on sequence structure of underground rock formations, rock and petroleum allows the prediction for oil and gas purposes. Through the application of seismic structural properties, the result has been verified in practice and achieved a good application effect.","PeriodicalId":432255,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Softw.

The proposed system model allows multiple WACRs to simultaneously operate over the same spectrum range producing a multi-agent environment. The objective of each radio is to predict and evade a dynamic jammer signal as well as avoiding transmissions of other WACRs. The proposed cognitive framework is made of two operations: sensing and transmission. Each operation is helped by its own learning algorithm based on Q-learning, but both will be experiencing the same RF environment. The simulation results indicate that the proposed cognitive anti-jamming technique has low computational complexity and significantly outperforms non-cognitive sub-band selection policy while being sufficiently robust against the impact of sensing errors.","PeriodicalId":432255,"journal":{"name":"Int.
