This paper presents a method for depth measurement based on Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and pixel number variation of CCD Images. A single camera is used to capture two images in different photographing distances, where features in the images are extracted and matched by SURF. To remove false matching points, an Identifying point correspondences by Correspondence Function (ICF) method is adopted...
Along with the explosion of Internet user, Internet has been considered as the new channel for companies implementing their sales promotion activities. Consequently, this study seeks to offer insight into how popular online promotions (price-discount, coupon and free shipping) influence consumer's quality perception and purchase intentions.

This paper presents synchronization of chaotic systems by polynomial fuzzy model. The sum of squares (SOS)-based framework contributes a large number of innovations and improvements over the LMI-based approaches to T-S fuzzy modeling and control. Polynomial fuzzy systems provide more general and effective than other fuzzy approaches. This paper derives SOS-based stability conditions for chaotic systems...
In this paper, we investigate possible means of communication between plants and machines. Plants are capable of sensing a variety of environmental information. In particular, Avocado trees have an apparent response to increasing drought levels. We read out two different communication channels: morphological changes (leaf inclination) and the electric potential of the stem (biopotential) using distance...
The learning organization (LO) concept continues to be regarded as a key factor for success in organization theory texts, however managers need an effective instrument to assess learning organization competence and weaknesses. This paper reports a field test of the ASTD LO profile questionnaire, followed by survey of respondents to assess the utility of this LO profile questionnaire. Respondents feedback,...
In this paper, we propose the English dialogue companion (EDC) system to help elementary school students learn second language, as English. Learners can practice conversation with the EDC system in English. In order to motivate the learners, we design the three learning activities to enhance the environment of English learning, which are the choice of learning companion phase, the conversation phase,...
