Research on Service Selection Based on Skypline Computing

Liang xinmei and Luqin, Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences) Jinan, Shandong.

ABSTRACT

The traditional service selection method is to compare the QoS attributes of the service to select services with better QoS attributes. This method will be very time consuming. This paper uses the database query technology - Skyline to select services and extract the SP (Skyline point) service in the Web service. And the Skyline algorithm is further improved, the algorithm divides the entire service set into one area. The HNBS algorithm can effectively filter and reduce the dominance check between the areas that do not have the dominant relationship, which saves the memory space and greatly improves the execution efficiency. Finally, the accuracy and high efficiency of the HNBS algorithm are verified on the simulation data set and the real data set (QWS).

Towards an Importance of Security for Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet-of-Things

Shafiq Rehman, M. Ceglia, Volker Gruhn, S. Siddique University of Duisburg-Essen, Institute of Software Technology,Germany.

ABSTRACT

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) are rising in an importance for the modern world, security is a significant requirement in the development process. This paper presents an overview of how these systems generally work and why securing them at three different layers that are more important compared to traditional software. Since human beings directly interact with the physical devices, therefore it is important to guarantee that they are secure at any point in time. If an intruder gains control over an autonomous car driving system, the consequences could be life-threatening to many people. Cyber-security is trying to prevent this worst-case scenario but struggles with two major problems: First, CPS/IoT are typically a combination of many separate systems. These systems are often legacy software, which sometimes is no longer up-to-date and could provide many security issues, which are hard to patch since the original developers are not part of the new project. Second, classic security measures aimed at the application and the network layer but CPS/IoT provides a third, physical layer, which needs to be protected. Sensors and actuators are physical parts of the real environment and can be damaged or destroyed by any human intruder or natural disaster if not secured properly. Since security in CPS and IoT have been dramatically neglected in the past years, this paper aims at understanding the security of CPS and IoT. Therefore, in this paper we propose an architecture, where we analyzed the security threats for CPS/IoT. Hence, can easily determine the security requirements for CPS/IoT.

Evaluation of Different Image Segmentation Methods with respect to Computational Systems

K. K. Saini1 and Ms Mehak Saini2 ,1IIMT College of Engineering, Greater Noida, UP 2Lovely Professional University, Jullunder, Punjab.

ABSTRACT

Image segmentation is a fundamental step in the modern computational vision systems and its goal is to produce amore simple and meaningful representation of the image making it easier to analyze. Imagesegmentation is a subcategory of image processing ofdigital images and, basically, it divides a given image into two parts: the object(s) of interest and the background. Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries in images and its applicability extends to other methods such as classification, feature extraction and pattern recognition. Most methods are based on histogram analysis, edge detection and region-growing. Currently, other approaches are presented such as segmentation by graph partition, using genetic algorithms and genetic programming. This paper presents a review of this area, starting with taxonomy of the methods followed by a discussion of the most relevant ones.

ABSTRACT

The number of services and smart devices which require context is increasing, and there is a clear need for new security policies which provide security that is convenient and flexible for the user. In particular, there is an urgent need for new security policies regarding IT vulnerability layers for children, the elderly, and the disabled who experience many difficulties using current security technology. For a convenient and flexible security policy, it is necessary to collect and analyze data such as user service use patterns, locations, etc., which can be used to distinguish attack contexts and define a security service provision technology which is suitable to the user. This study has designed a user context-aware network security architecture which reflects the aforementioned requirements, collected user context-aware data, studied a user context analysis platform, and studied and analyzed context-aware security applications.

SmartGraph: An Artificially Intelligent Graph Database

Hal Cooper1, Garud Iyengar1, and Ching-Yung Lin2, 1Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, 2Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, USA.

ABSTRACT

Graph databases and distributed graph computing systems have traditionally abstracted the design and execution of algorithms by encouraging users to take the perspective of lone graph objects, like vertices and edges. In this paper, we introduce the SmartGraph, a graph database that instead relies upon thinking like a smarter device often found in real-life computer networks, the router.Unlike existing methodologies that work at the subgraph level, the SmartGraph is implemented as a network of articially intelligent Communicating Sequential Processes. The primarily goal of this design is to give each \router" a large degree of autonomy. We demonstrate how this design facilitates the formulation and solution of an optimization problem which we refer to as the \router representation problem", wherein each router selects a benecial graph data structure according to its individual requirements (including its local data structure, and the operations requested of it). We demonstrate a solution to the router representation problem wherein the combinatorial global optimization optimization problem with exponential complexity is reduced to a series of linear problems locally solvable by each AI router.

Nan Zhang and Zhenyu Liu, Zhejiang University, China.Ozgur Koray Sahingoz, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Malaysia.

ABSTRACT

Assembly sequence planningis one of the most important activities in assembly process and proved to be a NP-hard optimization problem. In this article, a novel assembly subsets prediction method based on precedence is first proposed to generate feasibleassembly sequences. Then by using a simplified firework algorithm, the proposed method can easily obtain different optimal assembly sequences within a very short period of time even the assembly product is complicated, considerable computing time is economized. Unlike traditional assembly sequence planning methods, which optimizes assembly sequence by adjusting the order of a complete sequence, the proposed method breaks the rule of taking assembly sequence as a whole and optimizes the optimal solution in the construction process of assembly sequence. The method is compared with other algorithmsand is verified to be successful in obtaining the different optimal assembly sequences for assembly products and economizingan enormous amount of computing time.

An Environment-Visualization System with Imagebased Retrieval and Distance Calculation Method

Yuka Toyoshima1, Yasuhiro Hayashi2 and Yasushi Kiyoki1,1Keio University, Japan,2Musashino University, Japan.

ABSTRACT

Many environmental issues have occured in this world and these issues are common to all human beings. It is considered that environmental issues caused by humans exist in the “border” between nature and human society. In other words, there is the possibility that finding the “border” leads to determine the cause of environmental issues and discover the solution. This paper presents an environment-visualization system with image-based retrieval and distance calculation method as the first step of research for finding the “border”. We focused on the plastic garbage issue which is related to SDGs14 and this study was made to find the “border”, source of the plastic garbage which is scattered on the coast area. In addition, we aim to realize the system which enables people to share the knowledge about the plastic issue in order to acquire knowledge of the environment issues and to promote concrete action to realize sustainable nature and society. In this system, there are 3 features: (1) Composition-Based Image Retrieval Function, (2) Spatio-Temporal-Based Mapping Function, and (3) Coast-area Location-Checking for Selected Images Function. (1) is the image retrieval function for detecting highly-related images to a query-image with dividing one image to three images for separating with nature, human society, and “border”. We used euclid calculation to calculate the similarity and show the results in the ranking format. (2) is the mapping function with using the spatio-temporal information which is accompanied with images. (3) is the location-checking function to judge whether the photographing spot is near the ocean or not with image processing metric and select the images only which are near the ocean. We present several experimental results to clarify the feasibility and effectiveness of our method.

A Basis of Cultural Education: Safeguarding Intangible Heritage through a Web-Based Digital Photographic Collection [Video Presentation Click Here]

Chen Kim Lim, Kian Lam Tan and Nguarije Hambira, Ozgur Koray Sahingoz, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Malaysia.

ABSTRACT

The 21st century came with its own challenges as much as it brought various benefits through the advancement in technology. Cultural heritage is one such “casualty” of the developments in the 21st century in that there has been a decline in appreciation and awareness of the importance of cultural heritage. Thus, the present study was necessitated with the primary aim of (i) preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of the people of Georgetown through the development of the E-George Town Digital Heritage (E-GDH) system (ii) develop an effective GUI for the E-DGH system in order to stimulate and captivate the attention of users with the aim of raising awareness as well to educate the masses on the importance of cultural heritage and (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed system in relation to its objective through the administration of questionnaires to target respondents. To this effect the study employed the use of the waterfall model to develop this E-GDH website. The study found that respondents (prior to using the E-GDH system) had no previous experience in terms of oral story telling from their parents. Overall, it was found that the GUI was pleasant and attractive for use by respondents and that they were able to learn easily as a result. Based on the fact that respondents where able to learn with ease due to an effective GUI, the study also revealed that the content they were learning from this website was actually easy for them to understand and that this website was indeed helpful in helping them to understand and appreciate cultural heritage. The meaning and conduct of the education sector in this era of advanced technology has shifted a lot over the years changing from teachers as the primary source of information to what is termed as “learner –centred” where they are given the leeway to learn, explore and make sense of the world around them and the findings from this study falls no short from this notion. The E-GDH website could be used by schools in subjects such as history where the teacher could use this website as reference point for a certain lesson outcome that deals with digital cultural heritage or intangible cultural heritage. Thus the study contributes immensely to the understanding of cultural heritage by raising awareness as well as stimulating the inters of the young generation to appreciate and learn more about their cultural heritage. The prominence of digitalising the intangible cultural heritage cannot be emphasised enough as recent study has shown decline in interests in these area so the development of the E-GDH is one such positive call to action in response to UNESCO’s 2003 call for preservation of intangible cultural heritage and by extension, educating and raising awareness on the importance of cultural heritage.

Solving the Chinese Physical Problem Based On Deep Learning and Knowledge Graph PIXELS

Mingchen Li1, Zili Zhou1, 2 and Yanna Wang1, 1Qufu Normal University, China and 2East China Normal University, China.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, problem solving, automatic proof and human-like test-tasking have become a hot spot of research. This paper focus on the study of solving physical problem in Chinese. Based on the analysis of physical corpus, it is found that the physical problem are made up of n-tuples which contain concepts and relations between concepts, and the n-tuples can be expressed in the form of UP-graph(The graph of understanding problem), which is the semantic expression of physical problem. UP-graph is the base of problem solving which is generated by using physical knowledge graph (PKG). However, current knowledge graph is hard to be used in problem solving, because it cannot store methods for solving problem. So this paper presents a model of PKG which contains concepts and relations, in the model, concepts and relations are split into terms and unique IDs, and methods can be easily stored in the PKG as concepts. Based on the PKG, DKP-solving is proposed which is a novel approach for solving physical problem. The approach combines rules, statistical methods and knowledge reasoning effectively by integrating the deep learning and knowledge graph. The experimental results over the data set of real physical text indicate that DKP-solving is effective in physical problem solving.

Simplification of compiler Design course Teaching using Concept Maps [Video Presentation Click Here]

Venkatesan Subramanian, Department of Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, India.

ABSTRACT

TThe students of undergraduate expect simple, interactive and understandable method of teaching. But, in many universities, instructors simply follows text book and solves the examples given in it. In such case, students cannot learn anything additional than the text book contents defined in the syllabus. This method of teaching will not motivate students to understand the subject in depth unless the industrial and practical applications of the subject explained. Once students do not show interest, instructor also loses the interest which leads to poor performance of students. Hence, it is mandatory to re-design the teaching method especially for the undergraduate students. This paper use concept maps for teaching or learning of a compiler design subject with assignments and problems related to research and industry

RESEARCH ON 3D SCENE RECONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY BASED ON MONOCULAR VIDEO

Qingfeng Wu and Xu Chen, Department of Software Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China.

ABSTRACT

In this study we propose a 3D reconstruction flow based on monocular video. The first step of our method is capturing the video data of target scene. Then, a video frame extraction algorithm is used to extract the video frames into a set of image sequences of the target scene. Next, an image similarity measurement algorithm is used to optimize the video frames. After that, the parameters of the virtual camera in the target scene are estimated by the standard Structure from Motion method and output sparse 3D point clouds. And then, dense 3D point clouds of target scene are obtained through Multi-View Stereo algorithm. The polygonal mesh is generated by Poisson Surface Reconstruction algorithm and the 3D scene model is finally obtained. Based on the above algorithms, we design a 3D reconstruction system. The system takes the video data of target object as input, and outputs the 3D scene model of the object. Finally, this paper verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the system through experimental analysis.

ABSTRACT

Despite the large number of techniques and applications in the field of image segmentation, it is still an open research field. A recent trend in image segmentation is the usage of graph theory. This work proposes an approach which combines community detection in multiplex networks, in which a layer represents a certain image feature, with super pixels. There are approaches for the segmentation of images of good quality that use a single feature or the combination of several features of the image forming a single graph for the detection of communities and the segmentation. However, with the use of multiplex networks is possible to use more than one image feature without the need for mathematical operations that can lead to the loss of information of the image features during the generation of the graphs. Through the related experiments, presented in this work, it is possible to identify that such method can offer quality and robust segmentations.

Yali Song and Jin Zhang, Beijing Key Laboratory of Security and Privacy in Intelligent Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, China, Beijing.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, research on iris recognition in near-infrared has made great progress and achievements. However,in many devices, such as most of the mobile phones, there is no near-infrared device embedded. In order to use iris recognition in these devices, iris recognition in visible light is needed, but there are many problems to use visible iris recognition, including low recognition rate, poor robustness and so on. In this paper, we first clarified the challenges in visible iris recognition. We evaluate the effectiveness of three traditional iris recognition on iris collected from smart phones in visible light. The results show that traditional methods achieve accuracy not exceeding 60% at best. Then we summarize the recent advances in visible iris recognition in three aspects: iris image acquisition, iris preprocessing and iris feature extraction methods. In the end, we list future research directions in visible iris recognition.

OCCLUSION HANDLED BLOCK-BASED STEREO MATCHING WITH IMAGE SEGMENTATION [Video Presentation Click Here]

Jisu Kim, Cheolhyeong Park, Ju O Kim and Deokwoo Lee, Department of Computer Engineering, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Republic of Korea.

ABSTRACT

This paper chiefly deals with techniques of stereo vision, particularly focuses on the procedure of stereo matching. In addition, the proposed approach deals with detection of the regions of occlusion. Prior to carrying out stereo matching, image segmentation is conducted in order to achieve precise matching results. In practice, in stereo vision, matching algorithm sometimes suffers from insufficient accuracy if occlusion is inherent with the scene of interest. Searching the matching regions is conducted based on cross correlation and based on finding a region of the minimum mean square error of the difference between the areas of interest defined in matching window. Middlebury dataset is used for experiments, comparison with the existed results, and the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existed matching algorithms. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we compare the result of disparity to the existed ones.

GEOMETRIC DEEP LEARNED FEATURE CLASSIFICATION BASED CAMERA CALIBRATION [Video Presentation Click Here]

Cheolhyeong Park, Jisu Kim and Deokwoo Lee Department of Computer Engineering, Keimyung University, Daegu, 42601, Republic of Korea.

ABSTRACT

This paper chiefly focuses on calibration of depth camera system, particularly on stereo camera. Owing to complexity of parameter estimation of camera, i.e., it is an inverse problem the calibration is still challenging problem in computer vision. As similar to the previous method of the calibration, checkerboard is used in this work. However, corner detection is carried out by employing the concept of neural network. Since the corner detection of the previous work depends on the exterior environment such as ambient light, quality of the checkerboard itself, etc., learning of the geometric characteristics of the corners are conducted. The pro-posed method detects a region of checkboard from the captured images (a pair of images), and the corners are detected. Detection accuracy is increased by calculating the weights of the deep neural network. The procedure of the detection is de-tailed in this paper. The quantitative evaluation of the method is shown by calculating the re-projection error. Comparison is performed with the most popular method, Zhang’s calibration one. The experimental results not only validate the accuracy of the calibration, but also shows the efficiency of the calibration.

Particle Visualization System Based on the Scattering of Light Produced by a Slide Beam Laser in a Clean Room using Image Processing

O. Juiña1, SC Hu2 and T.Lin3 ,1Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei, 10608 Taiwan and 2,3 Department of Energy and Refrigerating Air-Conditioning Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei, 10608 Taiwan.

ABSTRACT

In the field of clean room systems, the need to have high standards of cleaning and environmental control has generated the creation of new equipment which can solve the different problems of monitoring in particle filtration. The system proposed below has been developed based on new technologies like the evolution of camera sensors, the use of a beam laser to visualize particles, and the link between programming algorithms with free platforms. The first system used consisted of a Canon 650D camera with a 17-55mm lens, a Ld Pumped All-Solid-State Green Laser. Tests were performed inside a controlled environment where the external light insulation was removed, a Transparent FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod) where the sample of white marble dust was introduced to see its dispersion among the particles. In order to implement a comparison of results, we used a Second System composed by a Camera High-Resolution CMOS Sensor with Global Shutter lt225. The third stage, is the image processing using OpenCV libraries, in this case, EmguCV which processes images, the fundamental principle of the image processing is the reading of each pixel, the intensities of each pixel and in the case of the processing of black and white images, each pixel receives values from 0 to 255, with 0 being the value for black and 255 for white. The program algorithm responds to these values and will separate the high-intensity values from the low-intensity values. In this case, the green color will become an important value, which by means of mathematical filters, will generate a clearer image of where the particles are located.
