The impact of authentic complex engineering design experience for k-12 students on 21st century attributes and perceptions towards STEM fields (Evaluation, Strand 3)
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies showed that embedding engineering at K-12 level has a positive impact on stimulating interest in- and improving learning outcomes of science and mathematics, and development of 21st Century skills. Engineering ...
Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
A novel mechanism for restoring actor connected coverage in wireless sensor and actor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Provisioning network survivability is especially crucial in wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) because nodes deployed in hostile environments are prone to frequent failures. Failure of an actor significantly impact ...
Visualization of faces from surveillance videos via face hallucination
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Face hallucination can be a useful tool for visualizing a low quality face into a visually better quality, making it an attractive technology for many applications. While faces in surveillance videos are usually at very ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
QoE-Aware Resource Allocation for Crowdsourced Live Streaming: A Machine Learning Approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Driven by the tremendous technological advancement of personal devices and the prevalence of wireless mobile network accesses, the world has witnessed an explosion in crowdsourced live streaming. Ensuring a better viewers ...
Single phase grid connected current source inverter: Mitigation of oscillating power effect on the grid current
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Although voltage source inverters (VSIs) are the most common DC-AC grid-tied converters, current source inverters (CSIs) are considered to be promising candidate, thanks to their low THD voltages/currents and inherent ...
A multi-modal face and signature biometric authentication system using a max-of-scores based fusion
(
Springer
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Face and signature based multimodal biometric systems are often required in various areas, such as banking biometric systems and secured mobile phone operating systems, among others. Our system combines these two biometric ...
Reconfigurable control of linear systems based on state feedback adaptive virtual actuator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, design and development of fault tolerant control (FTC) of linear systems subject to loss of effectiveness and time-varying additive actuator faults as well as an external disturbance using the fault-hiding ...
Measuring and optimising performance of an offline text writer identification system in terms of dimensionality reduction techniques
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Usually, most of the data generated in real-world such as images, speech signals, or fMRI scans has a high dimensionality. Therefore, dimensionality reduction techniques can be used to reduce the number of variables in ...
