An elimination method for isolated meshes in a road network considering stroke edge feature

Feature extraction method for palmprint considering elimination of creases

A new method of extracting palmprint features is presented in this report. Since palmprint images have many creases which are organized like ridges, ordinary ngerprint feature extraction algorithms are unable to extract ridges. Consequently, the goal of this research is to construct a new feature extraction method which can extract ridges under these conditions. At rst, the original palmprint i...

An Analysis Method on Post-earthquake Traversability of Road Network Considering Building Collapse

This study aims at quantifying the influence on the traversability of road network of road network caused by building collapse in earthquake. To this end, an analysis method on post-earthquake traversability of road network considering building collapse is proposed. First, the time-history analysis of seismic response based on the multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) model is performed for regional b...

Considering undesirable variables in PCA-DEA method: a case of road safety evaluation in Iran

This paper presents a deterministic approach for performance assessment of different province’s road safety level at Iran. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) model considering undesirable input and output indices and a multivariate statistical method, principle component analysis (PCA) are used in this paper, while previous studies do not use composite PCA-DEA method and undesirable input and ou...

An image super-resolution method considering edge character

An outer approximation method for the road network design problem

Best investment in the road infrastructure or the network design is perceived as a fundamental and benchmark problem in transportation. Given a set of candidate road projects with associated costs, finding the best subset with respect to a limited budget is known as a bilevel Discrete Network Design Problem (DNDP) of NP-hard computationally complexity. We engage with the complexity with a hybri...
