The visual comfort of human being has been gradually considered in high performance building since the higher living quality and lower energy use requirements. Good lighting layout is more and more important, especially in classroom for the students' vision. The number and location of light sources are traditionally determined by the experimented engineer or technician. However, un-precise results...
The purpose of present study was to examine the intelligence system for evaluation the multi-dimension abilities for occupational bus drivers. Intelligence system involved the cognition abilities test, visual pursuit abilities test, and tachistoscopic traffic responses test. Results of stidy showed that gender and age had significant relationships to cognitive responses and visual tracking capabilities...
This paper discusses the research design for BMTutor. BMTutor is a prototype for visualizing Malay sentences that is combined with sentence checker, sentence correction and word attribute components. The purpose of BMTutor is to check sentence validation, provide sentence correction for invalid sentence used and produce parse tree visualization. The research design involved can be divided into four...
This paper presents the influence of perceived texture regularity on the visual quality of textures that are synthesized through parametric and non-parametric approaches. It is shown through subjective testing that textures with different degrees of perceived regularity exhibit different degrees of vulnerability to texture synthesis artifacts. The paper also proposes a method for adaptively selecting...
Causal inference from observational data rely on similar treatment and control groups to isolate for variation, in addition to adjustments in estimates to account for the remaining uncontrollable variation. Propensity score matching and statistical inference are established tools to achieve for these two requirements respectively. Network structures in the underlying data of the experiment challenge...
The universal multiple outlier hypothesis testing problem is studied in two settings. In the first setting, each outlier can be arbitrarily distributed, and the number of outliers is fixed and known. In the second setting, the number of outliers is unknown at the outset. Nothing is known about the typical and outlier distributions other than that they are different and have full supports. For the...
This paper presents an architecture to support fast prototyping of augmented reality systems, based on virtual reality. The architecture defines simulation services separated from other aspects of the system. These services support incremental evolution of simulated prototypes into nonsimulated systems. Focus is also placed on user interaction,through the definition of an interaction architecture...
For rapid and good quality software development, many researchers are actively studying the area of software process improvement. The personal software process is a popular process with individual software engineers, which was proposed by SEI in Carnegie Mellon University. In this paper, we present the lessons learned from participating in a PSP training program and apply a cost-benefit analysis approach...
Texture is an important property of fire smoke, which is a significant signal for early fire detection. This paper describes a method of analyzing the texture of fire smoke combining two innovative texture analysis tools, Wavelet Analysis and Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrices (GLCM). Tree-Structured Wavelet transform is used to represent the textural images and GLCM are used to compute the different...
Software security testing tools and methodologies are presently abundant, and the question no longer seems to be "if to test" for security, but rather "where and when to test" and "then what?". In this paper we present a review of security testing literature, and propose a software security testing scheme that exploits an intra-organisational repository of discovered...
