Different contents of silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires were mixed with Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to facilitate the polar phase crystallization. It was shown that the annealing temperature and SiC content affected on the phase and crystalline structures of PVDF/SiC samples. Furthermore, the addition of SiC nanowire enhanced the transformation of non-polar α phase to polar phases and increased...
Due to the ever increasing affordability of video surveillance equipment, surveillance cameras have become widely used to great effect at various large scale events, to reduce the risk of crowd-related incidents and enhance public safety. If a large amount of existing video data can be used to capture motion features and detect the distribution of a crowd within a monitored area over a long duration,...
Crowd management research shows a lack of depth in the literature insofar as most major incidents can be prevented or minimized by a proper management strategy. Specifically, if abnormal crowd events can be detected early and the relevant governing agency can take appropriate actions towards mitigating the dangers, accidental injury can be prevented or the incident can be contained. This paper presents...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually results from brain shaking or impact. It can affect the normal function of the brain and even cause people become disabled and death. However, there is lack of studies for the physiological changes of humans or animals under brain injury. In order to obtain the information of physiological state change, we designed and enforced a non-invasive, wireless multi-channel...
Precise energy consumption forecasting is of major importance to define the future energy consumption of a given region. However, it is not easy to contend with the uncertainty of the long-term energy consumption. In order to effectively forecast the long-term energy consumption, an agent-based fuzzy-neural approach is proposed in this study. In the proposed methodology, a group of agents is formed...
ITRI container computer is a modular computer designed to be a building block for constructing cloud-scale data centers. Rather than using a traditional data center network architecture, which is typically based on a combination of Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 routers, ITRI containercomputer's internal interconnection fabric, called Peregrine, is specially architected to meet the scalability, fast...
Localization technology is one of the most important research areas in wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes a set of RF modulation methods to improve the accuracy of localization by utilizing the Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). Two different RF power adjust methods are proposed in this paper. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) are used to optimize...
In this article, we present a content-based video search service for mobile device users. After taking a photograph, the user can upload it to our server, which will then return videos containing key frames that are similar to the uploaded picture. The proposed service demonstrates that the search application is feasible.
In the sea surface salinity (SSS) application, the data collected by the buoys need to be uploaded as the satellite passes through. Fast sensor identification is a novel technique that can be employed to underpin fair and efficient media access in the SSS application. It deviates from the existing conventional media access control schemes including the random access algorithms and out-of-band signaling...
