The human face as a biometric trait has been widely used for personal identity verification but it is still a challenging task under uncontrolled conditions. With the development of hyper-spectral imaging acquisition technology, spectral properties w...
This paper aims to propose an innovative approach to group decision making (GDM) with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) preference relations (IVIFPRs). First, an IVIFPR is proposed based on the additive consistency of an interval-valued fuz...
With rapid advancement in location-based services (LBS), their acquisition has become a powerful tool to link people with similar interests across long distances, as well as connecting family and friends. To observe human behavior towards using socia...
In road networks, an ‘optimal’ trajectory is a geometrically optimal drive from the source point to the destination point. In reality, the driver’s driving experience or road traffic conditions will lead to differences between the &...
Research is scarce on how direct and indirect support seeking strategies affect support exchange in online health communities. Moreover, prior research has relied mostly on content analysis of forum posts at the post level. In order to generate a mor...
This paper presents a new latency reduction method for successive-cancellation (SC) decoding of polar codes that performs a frozen-bit checking on the rate-other (R-other) nodes of the Fast Simplified SC (Fast-SSC) pruning tree. The proposed method i...
Sensor alignment plays a key role in the accurate estimation of the ballistic trajectory. A sparse regularization-based sensor alignment method coupled with the selection of a regularization parameter is proposed in this paper. The sparse regularizat...
The purpose of this paper is to describe two new philosophical problems for robo-ethics. When one considers the kinds of philosophical problems that arise in the emerging field of robo-ethics, one typically thinks of issues that concern agency, auton...
In scenarios such as natural disasters and military strikes, it is common for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to form groups to execute reconnaissance and surveillance. To ensure the effectiveness of UAV communications, repeated resource acquisition...
Universities, like cities, have embraced novel technologies and data-based solutions to improve their campuses with ‘smart’ becoming a welcomed concept. Campuses in many ways are small-scale cities. They increasingly seek to address simil...
