In recent years, a tremendous research effort has been made in the area of generic object recognition. However, the most important thing is not the names but functions for robots to…
In this article, a multiplication-free artificial Neural Network (ANN) structure is proposed. Inner products between the input vectors and the ANN weights are implemented using a multiplication-free vector operator. Training…
The spatial distribution of base stations (BSs) and traffic demands is essential for efficient network planning and BS sleeping, which are key elements of green cellular networking. This paper investigates…
As electric vehicles (EVs) have been popularized, research on battery management system (BMS) of EVs’ core technology has considerably drawn attention. Among various functions of BMS, predicting state-of-health (SOH) that…
Fine-grained recognition concerns categorization at sub-ordinate levels, where the distinction between object classes is highly local. Compared to basic level recognition, fine-grained categorization can be more challenging as there are in general less…
We present a system that enables m-commerce interactions with billboards through augmented reality. A mobile application uploads image patterns to a recognition cloud, which asks a server to deliver mobile applications to the users,…
Automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems usually use high dimension feature vectors and therefore involve high complexity. However, many of the features used in such systems are believed to be irrelevant…
Local feature descriptor plays a fundamental role in many visual tasks, and its rotation invariance is a key issue for many recognition and detection problems. This paper proposes a novel rotation invariant…
Accuracy of the well-known k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classifier heavily depends on the choice of k. The problem of estimating a suitable k for any test point becomes difficult due to…
This paper presents a novel method to detect three types of abnormal Red Blood Cells (RBCs) called Poikilocytes in Iron deficient blood smears. Classification and counting the number of Poikilocyte…
