The enormous increase in the volume of remotely sensed data, which might be in different formats and relative to different reference frames, has created the need for robust data processing techniques that can fuse data observed by different acquisition systems. This need is motivated by the fact that collected data by these sensors are complementary in nature. Therefore, simultaneous utilizatio...

We consider the reliable multi configuration capacitated logistics network design problem (RMCLNDP) with system disruptions, concerned with facilities locating, transportation links constructing, and also allocating their limited capacities to the customers in order to satisfy their demands with a minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, as well as expecte...

We describe a general framework for multi-channel image registration. A new similarity measure for registering two multi-channel images, each with an arbitrary number of channels, is proposed. Results show that image registration performed based on different channels generates different results. In addition, we show that, when available, the inclusion of multi-channel data in the registration p...

For economic benefit of wind power generation, the equivalent conversion relationships and models between the different “quality” energy are studied deeply in the conversion processes of wind energy. Considering the effect of load demand characteristics and energy supply price on the wind energy utilization mode comprehensively, the multi-objective trans-utilization optimization model of wind e...

An electroencephalography (EEG) based brain activity recognition is a fundamental €eld of study for a number of signi€cant applications such as intention prediction, appliance control, and neurological disease diagnosis in smart home and smart healthcare domains. Existing techniques mostly focus on binary brain activity recognition for a single person, which limits their deployment in wider and...

In real world applications, most of the optimization problems involve more than one objective to be optimized. The objectives in most of engineering problems are often conflicting, i.e., maximize performance, minimize cost, maximize reliability, etc. In the case, one extreme solution would not satisfy both objective functions and the optimal solution of one objective will not necessary be the b...

Task allocation is an important aspect of many multi-robot systems. The features and complexity of multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problems are dictated by the requirements of the particular domain under consideration. These problems can range from those involving instantaneous distribution of simple, independent tasks among members of a homogenous team, to those requiring the time-extended ...

We present a disfluency model derived from analysing transcriptions of the AMI meeting corpus. Our model goes beyond previous work in that it discriminates several classes that are elsewhere regarded the same. Furthermore, we provide a formal account for naturally occurring phenomena that are rarely modeled in other schemes. Our annotations show significant occurrences of these classes. An eval...

We introduce PixelFlex2, our newest scalable wall-sized, multi-projector display system. For it, we had to solve most of the difficult problems left open by its predecessor, PixelFlex, a proof-of-concept demonstration driven by a large, multi-headed SGI graphics system. PixelFlex2 retains the achievements of PixelFlex (high-performance through single-pass rendering, single-pixel accuracy for ge...
