Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Distributed Coverage and Target Tracking Algorithm for Wireless Sensor NetworksM. Senthamilselvi, N. DevarajanProblem statement: Due to communication, processing and energy constraints, tracking in sensor networks creates different challenges. Since existing algorithms utilized the information from all the sensors for tracking, it results in higher expenditure of energy and reduced lifetime for the network. Approach: We propose to develop a distributed coverage and target tracking algorithm for wireless sensor networks. Tracking issue is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2012 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Face Authentication with Convolutional Neural NetworkMohamed Sayed, Faris BakerMatching thermal face images as a method of biometric authentication has gained increasing interest because of its advantage of tracking a target object at night and in total darkness. Therefore, for security purposes, it has become highly favourable and has extensive applications, for instance, in video surveillance at night. The aim of this study is to present a simple and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2018 · 7,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSparse Representation Tracking with Auxiliary Adaptive Appearance ModelsJunqiu Wang, Chao Yang, Zhichao Gan, Yasushi YagiWe propose an effective tracking algorithm based on sparse representation and auxiliary adaptive appearance modeling. Based on a sparse representation, l1 minimization can follow targets in challenging situations. Unfortunately, tracking approaches based on l1 minimization are likely to be inefficient because they measure using dense coefficient distributions. The number of target candidates can be very large when the state space … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2017 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFragment-based Visual Tracking with Multiple RepresentationsJunqiu Wang, Yasushi YagiWe present a fragment-based tracking algorithm that considers appearance information characterized by a non-parametric distribution and spatial information described by a parametric representation. We segment an input object into several fragments based on the appearance similarity and spatial distribution. Spatial distribution and appearance are important for distinguishing different fragments. We employee such information for separating an object from its background: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jan 2016 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Network Based Rotor Capacitive Reactance Control for Energy Efficient Wound Rotor Induction MotorK. Ranjith Kumar, S. Palaniswami, K. Siva KumarProblem statement: The Rotor reactance control by inclusion of external capacitance in the rotor circuit has been in recent research for improving the performances of Wound Rotor Induction Motor (WRIM). The rotor capacitive reactance is adjusted such that for any desired load torque the efficiency of the WRIM is maximized. The rotor external capacitance can be controlled using a dynamic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 26 May 2012 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Efficient Hidden Markov Model Based Target Tracking Mechanism in Wireless Sensor NetworksB. Amutha, M. PonnavaikkoProblem statement: Target tracking is a challenging application in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) because it is computation-intensive and requires real-time location processing. This study proposes a practical target tracking system based on the Hidden Markov Model in a distributed signal processing framework. In this framework, wireless sensor nodes perform target detection and tracking, whereas target localization requires the collaborative signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
