Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ...
Flexible organic photo-thermogalvanic cell for low power applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report an organic semiconductor based flexible thermogalvanic cell for conversion of heat and light energy into electric power. This thermogalvanic cell has been fabricated using a eco-friendly, affordable ...
Face segmentation in thumbnail images by data-adaptive convolutional segmentation networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this study we address the problem of face segmentation in thumbnail images. While there have been several approaches for face detection, none performs detection in such low resolution and segmentation with pixel accuracy. ...
Heart sound anomaly and quality detection using ensemble of neural networks without segmentation
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is used as a diagnostic test in ambulatory monitoring in order to evaluate the heart hemodynamic status and to detect a cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to develop an ...
Comparison of registration methods for mobile manipulators
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Mobile manipulators can be effective, efficient, and flexible for automation on the factory floor but will need safety and performance standards for wide adoption. This paper looks at a specific area of performance standards ...
Emergency Response in Complex Buildings: Automated Selection of Safest and Balanced Routes
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The extreme importance of emergency response in complex buildings during natural and human-induced disasters has been widely acknowledged. In particular, there is a need for efficient algorithms for finding safest evacuation ...
Energy Absorption Capability of Cotton Fiber/Epoxy Composite Square and Rectangular Tubes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper investigates the energy-absorption capability of natural fiber cotton fabric/epoxy square tubes. The cross-sectional aspect ratio was varied randomly from 0.50 to 2.57. Quasi-static crushing tests in axial and ...
Preliminary design of an actuated imaging probe for generation of additional visual cues in a robotic surgery
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Background
The aim of this study was to enhance the visual feedback of surgeons, during robotic surgeries, by designing and developing an actuated 2D imaging probe, which is used in conjunction with the traditional ...
Progressive image stitching algorithm for vision based automated inspection
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The increasing number of skyscrapers along with the large number of tall bridges throughout the world also increases the demand of a robust, automated and remotely controlled health monitoring system for civil architectures. ...
A guaranteed performance of a green data center based on the contribution of vital nodes
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
