Abstract:
The novel scheme of data fusion is a kind of evidence theories based on distance. We calculate the weight coefficients according to the structure of network and distances matrix between points and sensors. The greater the distance is, the smaller the coefficient will be. Experimental results show that, the proposed algorithm works well with high conflicts and fits characteristics of network.

Ultrasonic gas leak location technology is based on the detection of ultrasonic waves generated by the ejection of pressured gas from leak holes in sealed containers or pipes.

Abstract:
The fusion of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and camera data in real-time is known to be a crucial process in many applications, such as in autonomous driving, industrial automation, and robotics.

As both the sensors are capable of capturing the different attributes of the environment simultaneously, the integration of those attributes with an efficient fusion approach grea

SummaryThe aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical accuracy and reproducibility of retrospective interactive rigid image registration (RIR) between routinely archived X-ray computer tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography performed with 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET) in oncological patients. Methods: Two observers registered PET and CT data obtained in 37 patients using a commercially available image fusion tool. RIR was performed separately for the thorax and the abdomen using physiological FDG uptake in several organs as a reference. One observer performed the procedure twice (

Abstract:
Data fusion consists of the process of integrating several datasets with some common variables, and other variables available only in partial datasets. The main problem of data fusion can be described as follows. From one source, having X0 and Y0 datasets (with N0 observations by multiple x and y variables, n and m of those, respectively), and from another source, having X1 data (with N1 observations by the same nx-variables), we need to estimate the missing portion of the Y1 data (of size N1 by m variables) in order to combine all the data into one set.

We have analyzed the binocular coordination of the eyes during far-to-near refixation saccades based on the evaluation of distance ratios and angular directions of the projected target images relative to the eyes' rotation centers. By defining the geometric point of binocular single vision, called Helmholtz point, we found that disparities during fixations of targets at near distances were limited in the subject's three-dimensional visual field to the vertical and forward directions. These disparities collapsed to simple vertical disparities in the projective binocular image plane. Subjects we

As limited energy is one of the tough challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSN), energy saving becomes important in increasing the lifecycle of the network. Data fusion enables combining information from several sources thus to provide a unified scenario, which can significantly save sensor energy and enhance sensing data accuracy. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based data fusion algorithm for event detection. We usek-means algorithm to form the nodes into clusters, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption of intracluster communication. Distances between cluster heads and

Membrane fusion of a phospholipid vesicle with a planar lipid bilayer is preceded by an initial prefusion stage in which a region of the vesicle membrane adheres to the planar membrane. A resonance energy transfer (RET) imaging microscope, with measured spectral transfer functions and a pair of radiometrically calibrated video cameras, was used to determine both the area of the contact region and the distances between the membranes within this zone. Large vesicles (5-20 microns diam) were labeled with the donor fluorophore coumarin-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), while the planar membrane was l

Abstract:
The weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm is the most commonly used algorithm for indoor localization. Traditional WKNN algorithms adopt received signal strength (RSS) spatial distance (usually Euclidean distance and Manhattan distance) to select reference points (RPs) for position determination. It may lead to inaccurate position estimation because the relationship of received signal strength and distance is exponential. To improve the position accuracy, this paper proposes an improved weighted K-nearest neighbor algorithm. The spatial distance and physical distance of RSS are used for

Object detection is a fundamental computer vision task for many real-world applications. In the maritime environment, this task is challenging due to varying light, view distances, weather conditions, and sea waves. In addition, light reflection, camera motion and illumination changes may cause to false detections. To address this challenge, we present three fusion architectures to fuse two imaging modalities: visible and infrared. These architectures can provide complementary information from two modalities in different levels: pixel-level, feature-level, and decision-level. They employed dee

In this study, the fuzzy-neural ensemble and geometric rule fusion approach is presented to optimize the performance of job dispatching in a wafer fabrication factory with an intelligent rule. The proposed methodology is a modification of a previous study by fusing two dispatching rules and diversifying the job slacks in novel ways. To this end, the geometric mean of the neighboring distances of slacks is maximized. In addition, the fuzzy c-means (FCM) and backpropagation network (BPN) ensemble approach was also proposed to estimate the remaining cycle time of a job, which is an important inpu

However, these approaches have limitations in finding an accurate temperature because it is difficult to fully model a physical phenomenon.

These frequencies were subjected to spatial autocorrelation analysis to investigate their population structure. There are significant spatial patterns for most allele frequencies. Clinal patterns, investigated by one-dimensional and directional spatial correlograms, were relatively few in number and were moderate in strength. Overall, however, there is a marked decline in genetic similarity with geographic distance. The results ar

African savanna elephants live in dynamic fission–fusion societies and exhibit a sophisticated vocal communication system. Their most frequent call-type is the ‘rumble’, with a fundamental frequency (which refers to the lowest vocal fold vibration rate when producing a vocalization) near or in the infrasonic range. Rumbles are used in a wide variety of behavioral contexts, for short- and long-distance communication, and convey contextual and physical information. For example, maturity (age and size) is encoded in male rumbles by formant frequencies (the resonance frequencies of the vocal tract

Moreover, in order to improve the performance of the extended finite impulse response filter, which depends on the averaging horizon ([Formula: see text]) when the error state vector

All the features are extracted from normalized left and right hand images. Fusion is applied at feature and also at decision level. Two probability-based algorithms are proposed for classification. The first algorithm computes the maximum probability for nearest three neighbors. The second algorithm determines the maximum probability of the number of matched features with respect to a thresholding on distances. Based on these tw
