This paper presents a new implementation of a hybrid ciphering system of images in Fourier domain based on two chaotic maps. The first map is the Bakermap,which is used to scramble the image pixels in three modes of operation (CBC, CFB and OFB). The second map is the logistic map,whose secret key depends on the plain text. In the key generation step of the logistic map, the chaotic stream is ge...

Hybrid dynamical systems combine evolution equations with state transitions. When the evolution equations are discrete-time (also called map-based), the result is a hybrid discrete-time system. A class of biological neural network models that has recently received some attention falls within this category: map-based neuron models connected by means of fast threshold modulation (FTM). FTM is a c...

Current pedestrian navigation applications have been developed for the smartphone platform and guide users on a 2D top view map. The Augmented Reality (AR)-based from first-person could provide new experience pedestrians compared to current navigation. This research proposes marker free system AR-based indoor proposed adopts RGB-D camera observe surrounding environment builds point cloud map us...

This paper proposes a hybrid path planning algorithm incorporating a global and local search mechanism for mobile robot. The global path planning is based on Voronoi graph to establish a backbone path for the map with significantly reduced nodes for the original grid map. With the use of the backbone path, the D* algorithm is adopted to determine a shortest path between the starting and end poi...

A cDNA clone for human immune interferon (IFN-gamma) gene sequences, plasmid p69, was used to chromosomally map the IFN-gamma gene by detecting human IFN-gamma gene sequences in DNA isolated from human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. We were able to map the IFN-gamma gene by correlating the human chromosomes present in these hybrids with the human specific 8.8 and 2.0 kilobase pair fragments produ...

This paper presents the results of evaluating the use of X-ray CT data for attenuation correction of PET data. This method of attenuation correction is intended for use with a combined volume-imaging PET/CT scanner for oncology. We discuss four possible methods of scaling the attenuation map from the CT energies to the required PET attenuation map at 511 keV. Results are presented on the testin...
