These networks estimate the collision point between the robot and an external object, using two different approaches. One of them uses a neural network to predict collision point on the internal robot axis and the second uses classification in order to find a collision in points which are sampled on the robot surface. The neural networks are trained on two datasets, one dataset is generated in simulation, the other one captured from the real robot. Obtained results show, that using a pre-trained network allows to greatly increase the overall accuracy of collision localization.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121575513","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}

In this context, it already has been shown that Adaptive Traffic Light Control (ATLC) can be an effective solution to improve a diversity of different traffic-related metrics. The problem of ATLC can be modeled in various ways with reinforcement learning being one of the most promising frameworks. Especially the application of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) can be a suitable approach for learning to adaptively control the traffic of realistic road networks. Among the set of MARL algorithms, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Integrated Network (MARLIN) stands out and is shown to be particularly suited to the problem of ATLC with producing remarkable results. MARLIN models the multi-agent framework as a stochastic game providing an explicit coordination mechanism for the agents. However, in MARLIN, the possible size of the state and action space is limited and the features for the state representation need to be hand-crafted. Therefore, in this study, the algorithm is combined with function approximation by using artificial neural networks to overcome these limitations. deep-MARLIN is explained and bench-marked in a large and realistic traffic environment using Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO). The results indicate that when compared to MARLIN, deep-MARLIN converges faster to a policy that is producing lower average vehicle delay.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121047942","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}

More precisely, the agent autonomously processes the sound signal, coming from various sources, and provides real-time conversion of the signal into controlled lighting effects, that are perceived relaxing by patients. The system is based on spectral signal analysis for the characterization of the sound signal and leverages on a novel sound-to-color conversion algorithm, which allows to transform main sound characters first into a chromatic reference wavelength and finally into a set of RGB values to be sent to light sources. The paper briefly introduces some essential concepts of the spectral analysis developed and focuses on the hardware/software architecture adopted to achieve real-time processing while maintaining a very compact form-factor of the processing hardware.

With the impressive growth of such PV installations, it is in the public eye the need of a cheap and effective way to continuously monitor the state of the plants and a standard technique designed to promptly replace broken modules, in order to prevent drops in the energy production. Since the faults mainly appear as Hot Spots on the surface of the PV panels, aerial thermal imaging can be used to diagnose such problems and also locate them in huge plants. To this aim, dedicated automatic Computer Vision methods are able to automatically find hot spots from thermal images, where they appear as white stains. In these methods a fundamental step is the segmentation of the PV panels, which allows to automatically detect each module. In this paper, we address the problem of PV Panel Detection using a Convolutional Neural Network framework called YOLO. We demonstrate that it is able to effectively and efficiently segment panels from an image. The method is quantitatively evaluated and compared to existing PV panel detection approaches on the biggest publicly available benchmark dataset; the experimental results confirm its robustness.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133318815","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}

The task of selecting an appropriate algorithm which is adequate for usage with a pre-given time series is not easy for non-data science experts. Since a trial-and-error approach for finding a suitable algorithm is tedious, computationally intensive and time-consuming, meta learning approach which describes how to design an appropriate methodology to constrain the search space for fully automatically finding the suitable learning algorithm is proposed. In the present paper, based on the assumption that good indicators describing certain characteristics of an e.g. energy time series dataset may provide useful insight into which forecasting algorithms are most suitable, a Descriptive Statistics Time-based Meta Features (DSTMF) description format for energy time series datasets is proposed to efficiently select an appropriate learning algorithm to perform energy forecasting on a time series dataset. In order to demonstrate the performance of the new methodology, experiments on datasets which are load time series from 60 institutional buildings are conducted. Based on a similarity-based clustering analysis, the potential of DSTMF's meta features for capturing deep characteristics of energy time series datasets is evaluated and compared to other state-of-the-art meta features. The experiments show very good results and outperform state-of-the-art meta features to enhance model selection in energy time series forecasting.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131228244","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, in the context of manual or automated tests, every time a device starts for the first time, this ASW should be consistently configured before the tests begin. This configuration should not affect the test measurements to make them reproducible. It is impracticable to manually pass through all the steps of the ASW before every new test since this limits scalability. Moreover, a manual process can be error-prone, since two testers might use different navigation paths in the ASW, and this can affect the output. An automated script to do this task is not trivial as steps of the ASW can change depending on the device model, Android version (N, O, P, Q, etc.) and vendor (Verizon, Global, etc.). This means that the number of steps and the actions that should be executed in each of them can vary. Therefore, we propose WIZARD, an intelligent system that navigates automatically and consistently through the steps of the ASW, allowing the specialist to customize this navigation. To do that, WIZARD uses information retrieval (IR), vector space model (VSM), and re-rank techniques. We validate our approach on a set of real-world and commercially-available Android builds of a large company that comprises 1505 unique records. In the task of predicting the action to execute, our approach achieved an average Accuracy@1 of 98,82% and an Accuracy@5 of 99,87%. To the best of our knowledge, WIZARD is the first system that automatically navigates in the ASW to prepare devices for reproducible tests.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"10 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113962156","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 paper proposes a significant way to generate a watermarked image using a multimodal biometric system in which a fingerprint and a palm-print biometric of a user has chosen. The generation of a digitally watermarked image is done by using features of both the biometric which has been logically combined to satisfy ownership and is robust indeed. This paper efficaciously resolves the ownership conflict of the host data. The fingerprint biometric image of a user is taken as the host data and its digital watermarked image is fabricated by embedding the palm-print of the same user, which ensures the user's ownership stamp by satisfying the dual authentication. Created watermarked image has been scrutinized through a study for its uniqueness and recognition accuracy. The approach of the proposed algorithm is to make the watermarked data reliably invulnerable while dispersing it in the shared database. Singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm has been practiced to inculcate the palm-print watermark in the fingerprint image. Outcomes of experimentations evince that the watermarked data is qualified to endure the triggered image processing attack and keep the perceptual properties of data unvaried. The achievement of this work is its rate of perceptual transparency and robustness of the watermarked image.","PeriodicalId":437507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Intelligent Systems","volume":"43 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115976952","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}
