Face images have been used in many access control applications to recognize individuals. Protecting face biometric templates against unauthorized digitization and manipulations is the main challenge in such applications. Intelligent watermarking addresses these challenges using optimization techniques to find the optimal embedding locations to maximize both watermark quality and robustness. Wat...

Intelligent management of machines, particularly in a residence area, has been of interest for many years. However, such system design has always been limited to simple control of machines from a local area or remotely from the Internet. In this report, for the first time, an intelligent system is proposed, where not only provides intelligent control ability of machines to user, but also utiliz...

Image compression is one of the most important and successful applications of the wavelet transform. Images will have huge amount of information which require more storage space, and high transmission bandwidths and more transmission time. So it is important to compress the image by eliminating the redundant information in the image and encoding only the essential information. As multimedia inf...

Bayesian optimization techniques have been successfully applied to robotics, planning, sensor placement, recommendation, advertising, intelligent user interfaces and automatic algorithm configuration. Despite these successes, the approach is restricted to problems of moderate dimension, and several workshops on Bayesian optimization have identified its scaling to high dimensions as one of the h...

Grid computing is a process of aggregate the functionality of different geographically resources and provide services to the user. Scheduling is most popular research area in grid computing for achieving high performance. In scheduling, tasks are assigning to resources and maintain the execution. Dependencies constraints are need to preserve for workflow scheduling in grid computing. In this pa...

In this work Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques like Fuzzy logic, Genetic Algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization have been used to improve the performance of the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system. Instead of applying Genetic Algorithms and Particle swarm optimization independently for optimizing the parameters of the conventional AGC with PI controller, an intelligent tuned Fuz...
