Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Multi-Scale Filtering to Initialize a Background Extraction ModelS. H. Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, N. A. Lili et al.Problem statement: Probability-based methods which usually work based on the saved history of each pixel are utilized severally in extracting a background image for moving detection systems. Probability-based methods suffer from a lack of information when the system first begins to work. The model should be initialized using an alternative accurate method. Approach: The use of a nonparametric filtering to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 May 2012 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Effective History-based Background Extraction SystemSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: In many visions-based surveillance systems, the first step is accomplished by detecting moving objects resulted from subtraction of the current captured frame from the extracted background. So, the results of these systems mainly depend on the accuracy of the background image. Approach: In this study, a proposed background extraction system is presented to model the background using a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 23 May 2012 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYGLASS: Design Proposal for an Integrated Multifunctional Hybrid Glass-Steel StructureMaurizio Froli, Francesco LacconeContemporary cities demand smart communication infrastructures to facilitate the interaction of residents and visitors with the urban environment. Such systems are required to be network-connected, interactive, environmental-sensitive and energetically self-sustaining. Moreover, in outdoor applications they should mark an urban focal point and should be able to satisfy additional public requirements like illumination, transmission of information etc. In the framework of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Energy Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksMaya Arida, Nabil Nassif, Rand Talib, Taher Abu-LebdehAccurate modeling of total building energy is now vital to reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for buildings since they are considered as the largest energy consumer in the United States. This paper investigates modeling methods for building energy-systems using non-linear auto-regression artificial neural networks. The proposed model can forecast the whole building energy consumptions given the four input … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 7,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Block-Based Multi-Scale Background Extraction AlgorithmSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: To extract the moving objects, vision-based surveillance systems subtract the current image from a predefined background image. The efficiency of these systems mainly depends on accuracy of the extracted background image. It should be able to adapt to the changes continuously. In addition, especially in real-time applications the time complexity of this adaptation is a critical matter. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
