The results from monitoring New Zealand's native bees based on image processing techniques are presented. Rather than identifying individual bees directly images of active ground nests are collected, processed and counted. The number of nests is good estimate of population since the number of bees in each nest is constant for most native species; described as solitary because a single female constructs...
Self-organizing map (SOM) neural networks have been successfully applied to solve classification and clustering problems. However, while most SOM models pursue their results as accurately as possible, they ignore the importance of understanding and explanation. This paper first finds the optimal solution for the number of SOM clusters by using the technique of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and...
Given the plethora of advantages attributed to agile methodologies, why are there only infrequent reports of their application in the embedded systems world? We believe this has two principal causes. First, embedded applications go through a life cycle that differs from desktop life cycles, so that desktop application production processes must be significantly altered to meet the demands of this new...
This paper presents a control scheme for the synchronization of chaotic systems when the same chaotic system with the different initial conditions. For a given chaotic system, an adaptive observer-based response can be constructed to synchronize the drive system. Moreover this scheme uses the nonlinear controller which is achieved the global synchronization and the proposed controller doesnpsilat...
