Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great success in image processing. However, the heavy computational burden it imposes makes it difficult for use in embedded applications that have limited power consumption and performance. Although...

This paper investigates a real-world distribution problem arising in the vehicle production industry, particularly in a logistics company, in which cars and vans must be loaded on auto-carriers and then delivered to dealerships. A solution to the pro...

The Internet is becoming a major source of radicalization. The propaganda efforts of new extremist groups include creating new propaganda videos from fragments of old terrorist attack videos. This article presents a web-scraping method for retrieving...

The paper deals with the problem of global minimization of a polynomial function expressed through the Frobenius norm of two-dimensional or three-dimensional matrices. An adaptive procedure is proposed which applies a Multistart algorithm according t...

In this paper we present an approach towards real-time hand gesture recognition using the Kinect sensor, investigating several machine learning techniques. We propose a novel approach for feature extraction, using measurements on joints of the extrac...

With the increase in mobile location service applications, spatiotemporal queries over the trajectory data of moving objects have become a research hotspot, and continuous query is one of the key types of various spatiotemporal queries. In this paper...

The popularization of big data makes the enterprise need to store more and more data. The data in the enterprise’s database must be accessed as fast as possible, but the Relational Database (RDB) has the speed limitation due to the join operati...

We consider the use of multiple mobile agents to explore an unknown area. The area is orthogonal, such that all perimeter lines run both vertically and horizontally. The area may consist of unknown rectangular holes which are non-traversable internal...

Copper wire is a major conduction material that carries a variety of signals in industry. Presently, automatic wire elongating machines to produce very thin wiresare available for manufacturing. However, the original wires for the elongating process...

This paper presents a new algorithm based on the theory of mutual information and information geometry. This algorithm places emphasis on adaptive mutual information estimation and maximum likelihood estimation. With the theory of information geometr...
