Short description: GUI Ant-Miner is a tool for extracting classification rules from data. It is an updated version of a data mining algorithm called Ant-Miner (Ant Colony-based Data Miner), which was Proposed in 2002 by Parpinelli, Lopes and Freitas. GUI Ant-Miner differs from the original algorithm as follows: It has a friendly graphical user interface, makes possible the use of ant populations within the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) concept, data input file is standardized with the well-known Weka system, and runs on virtually any operating system since it is written in Java.
Steganography is the art of communicating a message by embedding it into multimedia data. It is desired to maximize the
amount of hidden information (embedding rate) while preserving security against detection by unauthorized parties. An appropriate
information-theoretic model for steganography has been Proposed by Cachin
The potential of solving real-time demanding industrial applications, using vision-based
algorithms, drastically grew due to an increasing availability of computational power.
In this thesis a novel real-time, vision-based Blackjack analysis system is presented. The
embedding of the vision algorithms in a compound system of other information sources such
as an electronic chip tray, reduces the vision task to detect cards and chips. Robust results
are achieved by not just analyzing single frames but an image stream regarding game-ß ow
informations. The requirements for such a system are a highly robust and adaptive behav-
ior. This is motivated by the vital interest of casino entrepreneurs in a 100 statistical
analysis of their offered gambling in order to support the business plan, measuring table
and dealer performance and give accurate player rating. Extensive experiments show the
robustness and applicability of the Proposed system.
Abstract-In this paper, simple autonomous chaotic circuits
coupled by resistors are investigated. By carrying out computer
calculations and circuit experiments, irregular self-switching phenomenon
of three spatial patterns characterized by the phase
states of quasi-synchronization of chaos can be observed from
only four simple chaotic circuits. This is the same phenomenon
as chaotic wandering of spatial patterns observed very often from
systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. Namely, one
of spatial-temporal chaos observed from systems of large size can
be also generated in the Proposed system consisting of only four
chaotic circuits. A six subcircuits case and a coupled chaotic circuits
networks are also studied, and such systems are confirmed
to produce more complicated spatio-temporal phenomena.
Behavioral models are used in games and computer graphics for
realistic simulation of massive crowds. In this paper, we present a
GPU based implementation of Reynolds [1987] algorithm for simulating
flocks of birds and propose an extension to consider environment
self occlusion. We performed several experiments and
the results showed that the Proposed approach runs up to three
times faster than the original algorithm when simulating high density
crowds, without compromising significantly the original crowd
behavior.
TPMath is a library of scientific programs written in Pascal. Available in several versions according to the compiler, it is Proposed as an alternative to the famous Numerical Recipes, for which the Pascal version is no longer developed, or to the Borland Numerical Methods Toolbox which is no longer available.
The object detector described below has been initially Proposed by
P.F. Felzenszwalb in [Felzenszwalb2010]. It is based on a
Dalal-Triggs detector that uses a single filter on histogram of
oriented gradients (HOG) features to represent an object category.
This detector uses a sliding window approach, where a filter is
applied at all positions and scales of an image. The first
innovation is enriching the Dalal-Triggs model using a
star-structured part-based model defined by a “root” filter
(analogous to the Dalal-Triggs filter) plus a set of parts filters
and associated deformation models. The score of one of star models
at a particular position and scale within an image is the score of
the root filter at the given location plus the sum over parts of the
maximum, over placements of that part, of the part filter score on
its location minus a deformation cost easuring the deviation of the
part from its ideal location relative to the root. Both root and
part filter scores are defined by the dot product between a filter
(a set of weights) and a subwindow of a feature pyramid computed
from the input image. Another improvement is a representation of the
class of models by a mixture of star models. The score of a mixture
model at a particular position and scale is the maximum over
components, of the score of that component model at the given
location.
Improved guaranteed cost control and quantum adaptive control are developed in this study for a quadrotor helicopter with state
delay and actuator faults. Improved guaranteed cost control is designed to eliminate disturbance effects and guarantee the robust stability of a
quadrotor helicopter with state delay. The inapplicability of guaranteed cost control to the quadrotor linear model is addressed by combining
guaranteed cost control with a model reference linear quadratic regulator. In the event of actuator faults, quadrotor tracking performance is
maintained through quantum adaptive control. Finally, the availability of the Proposed scheme is verified through numerical simulation
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries with high energy density and long cycle life are considered to be one of the most promising next-generation energy-storage systems beyond routine lithium-ion batteries. Various approaches have been Proposed to break down technical barriers in Li–S battery systems. The use
of nanostructured metal oxides and sulfides for high sulfur utilization and long life span of Li–S batteries is reviewed here. The relationships between the intrinsic properties of metal oxide/sulfide hosts and electrochemical performances of Li–S batteries are discussed. Nanostructured metal oxides/ sulfides hosts used in solid sulfur cathodes, separators/interlayers, lithium- metal-anode protection, and lithium polysulfides batteries are discussed respectively. Prospects for the future developments of Li–S batteries with nanostructured metal oxides/sulfides are also discussed.
