Underwater Optical Wireless Communication (UWOC) becomes an emerging underwater communication technology, with high-data rates over relatively medium transmission ranges. When optical wireless signal transmitted in ocean water channel, it will suffer from drastic scattering and absorption due to molecules, dissolved particles, air bubbles, turbulence. Absorption of the channel led attenuation p...

This paper describes a novel Speaker Verification (SV) architecture that minimises many of the challenging problems faced by SV implementors in the Card Security arena. The architecture is unusual in two respects. First, the verification engine is not fed with conventional frequency-domain descriptors. Instead the output of a Time-Encoded Signal Processing and Recognition (TESPAR) coder is used...

We introduce a fast and high performance image subsampling method using feedforward artificial neural networks (FANNs). Our method employs a pattern matching technique to extract local edge information within the image, in order to select the FANN desired output values during the supervised training stage. Subjective and objective evaluations of experimental results using still images and video...

  In recent years, various time series models have been proposed for financial markets forecasting. In each case, the accuracy of time series forecasting models are fundamental to make decision and hence the research for improving the effectiveness of forecasting models have been curried on. Many researchers have compared different time series models together in order to determine more efficien...

Abstract According to the world health organization, 485,000 people died each year due water-related diseases which are mainly contributed by poor river water quality. As a result, quality monitoring stations have been deployed across world. Unfortunately, complex nature of off-site parameters, index (WQI) cannot be assessed in real-time. This has led significant push for scientific community d...
