( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Article)Detection and classification of cell nuclei in histopathology images of cancerous tissue stained with the standard hematoxylin and eosin stain is a challenging task due to cellular heterogeneity. Deep learning approaches ... -
Locating leaks in water mains using noise loggers
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Article)Because of their potential danger to public health, economic loss, environmental damage, and energy waste, underground water pipelines leaks have received more attention globally. Researchers have proposed active leakage ... -
Location privacy preservation for mobile users in location-based services
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)Because location-based cyber services are increasingly found in mobile applications (e.g., social networking and maps), user location privacy preservation is essential and remains one of the several ongoing research ... -
Location privacy preservation in secure crowdsourcing-based cooperative spectrum sensing
( Springer International Publishing , 2016 , Article)Spectrum sensing is one of the most essential components of cognitive radio since it detects whether the spectrum is available or not. However, spectrum sensing accuracy is often degraded due to path loss, interference, ... -
Location-Based Seeds Selection for Influence Blocking Maximization in Social Networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)Influence blocking maximization (IBM) is a key problem for viral marketing in competitive social networks.
