In this paper a novel methodology to automatically identify and localize the Trademarks from video using compress domain features of H.264 video is proposed. We have used the H.264 video stream as input and use some compress domain features obtained during parsing and decoding process of the stream to identify the text regions. The features used in our approach are (i) Edge strength information for...
An integrated sensor framework is described and simulated which demonstrates an intelligent or cognitive RF sensor detection method that detects unique stochastic behaviors of incoming event data. For signal surveillance / RF spectrum management sensors, detecting interesting human behavior and rapidly adapting the sensor to optimally process these behaviors is the challenge. The detection method...
The difficulty of maintenance has been stated as among the factors contributing to the abandonment of many commercial expert systems. Ripple down rules approach to knowledge acquisition and representation has made maintenance of such system easier and less expensive. This paper presents the insight gained from four healthcare organizations which are currently using Lab Wizard, an expert system which...
This paper presents a technique that intends to recognize bangla characters from Bangladeshi automobile registration plates. Even though the recognition of characters from registration plates are nothing new but the conditions and circumstances surrounding the recognition process that is going to be discussed in due course of this paper is something i.e. worth looking into. In this paper we are dividing...
A hybrid computational intelligence model, integrating the least-squares fitting algorithm of Functional Networks with Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System, is presented. The hybrid model capitalizes on the capability of the least-squares fitting algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of input data while selecting the dominant variables. The model was evaluated with the prediction of porosity and permeability...
Mobile ad hoc Networks refers to the infrastructure less, resource poor wireless networks whose interaction is unplanned in such a way that location of participating nodes and parties can not be identifiable. The mobile devices are used by people to access services in various environments. Before two or more mobile networks ready to interact, they must trust that each will satisfy the security and...
Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms are robust tool in solving many optimization problems. Model structure selection is a procedure in system identification procedures. This procedure counters two contradicting objective functions which are minimizing mean square error and complexity of the selected model. This paper investigates the effectiveness and the performance of multiobjective evolutionary...
Smart Grid is a novel initiative the aim of which is to deliver energy to the users and also to achieve consumption efficiency by means of two-way communication. The Smart Grid architecture is a combination of various hardware devices, management and reporting software tools that are combined within an ICT infrastructure. This infrastructure is needed to make the smart grid sustainable, creative and...
Creative problem solving model is a behavioral representation of users thinking, this kind of models helps to customize the user requirements to achieve a certain needs. Different studies have been reported the difficulties of learning in term of designing and developing a modern computer games applications which presents a complex activity by involving many participants from a variety of disciplines...
Load balancing is one of the critical issues that must be considered in managing a grid computing environment. It is complicated due to the distributed and heterogeneous nature of the resources. An enhanced ant algorithm for load balancing in grid computing is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm will determine the best resource to be allocated to the jobs based on job characteristics and...
In this work, we propose the use of type-2 fuzzy logic systems (type-2 FLS) to identify question and non-question segments in an Arabic monologue based on prosodic features. Prosody has been widely used in many speech-related applications including speaker and word recognition, emotion and accent identification, topic and sentence segmentation, and text-to-speech applications. An important application...

Summary form only given. The increase of ICT and digital data storage, in industrial, financial, healthcare or other application areas with the increasing amounts of collection of images, signals and other types of data certainly provides several research challenges. There is a need to design intelligent tools to extract the underlying information, predict, diagnose, estimate or make use of it in...
Measuring the capacity of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) controllers is very important due to the critical role it plays in the Next Generation Network (NGN) of the Fixed and Mobile Networks. This paper proposes a robust and scalable method that can be used to measure the capacity of the IMS controllers, Call Session Control Function (CSCF) and benchmark their different vendors. The purpose of...
In wireless communication networks, TCP is a widely applied solution as it guarantees the delivery of data by implementing acknowledgement based techniques and used in wired networks as it ensures guard against the common remedy congestion in networks. Deploying TCP over wireless networks, restrictions such as random link errors, random packet loss, node distance, constantly changing topology are...
Micro fluid flow development with presence of roughness before and after flow development in straight square micro channels has been investigated computationally. Two micro channels were designed with different hydraulic diameters(5μm & 2μm) to investigate water flow development. Each micro channel were simulated using low and high Reynolds numbers (0.056 & 280) to observe discrepancies. These...
In this work, simulations were carried out for liquid flow in obstructed straight square micro channel. The simulation was done in consideration of pressure-driven flow technique under steady state types of simulation. An unsteady form of the Navier-stokes equations affiliate with no slip and free slip boundary conditions have been used to simulate flow of water through a micro channel. The investigation...
Hydrocarbon Process Automation Applications (HPAA) are used in industrial plants that operate under conditions that - if not controlled - could become dangerous for people, assets and the environment. Process control systems that support the necessary functions to achieve and maintain a safe steady state HPAA operation are referred to Safety-Related (SR) systems. These systems are composed of sensors,...
From the queuing system approach, a compute intensive application can be defined as any application where the arrival rate of processes into the processors queue is greater than the overall departure rate of the processes from the processors. Such a compute intensive application is ideal for a parallel computer because there are always processes for the processors to execute. This paper, therefore,...
