Abstract Falls are the most common concern among older adults or disabled people who use scooters and wheelchairs. The early detection of disabled persons’ falls is required to increase the living rate of an individual or provide support to them whenever required. In recent times, the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT), smartphones, Artificial Intelligence (AI), wearables and so on make it easy to design fall detection mechanisms for smart homecare. The current study develops an Automated Disabled People Fall Detection using Cuckoo Search Optimization with Mobile Networks (ADPFD-CSOMN) model.

Abstract The IEEE802.15.4 standard has been widely used in modern industry due to its several benefits for stability, scalability, and enhancement of wireless mesh networking. This standard uses a physical layer of binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation and can be operated with two frequency bands, 868 and 915 MHz. The frequency noise could interfere with the BPSK signal, which causes distortion to the signal before its arrival at receiver. Therefore, filtering the BPSK signal from noise is essential to ensure carrying the signal from the sender to the receiver with less error. Therefore, removing signal noise in the BPSK signal is… More >

Abstract Deep convolution neural networks are going deeper and deeper. However, the complexity of models is prone to overfitting in training. Dropout, one of the crucial tricks, prevents units from co-adapting too much by randomly dropping neurons during training. It effectively improves the performance of deep networks but ignores the importance of the differences between neurons. To optimize this issue, this paper presents a new dropout method called guided dropout, which selects the neurons to switch off according to the differences between the convolution kernel and preserves the informative neurons. It uses an unsupervised clustering algorithm to cluster similar neurons in… More >

Abstract Gender analysis of Twitter could reveal significant socio-cultural differences between female and male users. Efforts had been made to analyze and automatically infer gender formerly for more commonly spoken languages’ content, but, as we now know that limited work is being undertaken for Arabic. Most of the research works are done mainly for English and least amount of effort for non-English language. The study for Arabic demographic inference like gender is relatively uncommon for social networking users, especially for Twitter. Therefore, this study aims to design an optimal marginalized stacked denoising autoencoder for gender identification on Arabic Twitter (OMSDAE-GIAT) model.… More >

Abstract Computed tomography has made significant advances since its introduction in the early 1970s, where researchers have mainly focused on the quality of image reconstruction in the early stage. However, radiation exposure poses a health risk, prompting the demand of the lowest possible dose when carrying out CT examinations. To acquire high-quality reconstruction images with low dose radiation, CT reconstruction techniques have evolved from conventional reconstruction such as analytical and iterative reconstruction, to reconstruction methods based on artificial intelligence (AI). All these efforts are devoted to constructing high-quality images using only low doses with fast reconstruction speed. In particular, conventional reconstruction… More >

Abstract For training the present Neural Network (NN) models, the standard
technique is to utilize decaying Learning Rates (LR). While the majority of these
techniques commence with a large LR, they will decay multiple times over time.
Decaying has been proved to enhance generalization as well as optimization.
Other parameters, such as the network’s size, the number of hidden layers, dropouts to avoid overfitting, batch size, and so on, are solely based on heuristics. This

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are made up of several sensors located in a specific area and powered by a finite amount of energy to gather environmental data. WSNs use sensor nodes (SNs) to collect and transmit data. However, the power supplied by the sensor network is restricted. Thus, SNs must store energy as often as to extend the lifespan of the network. In the proposed study, effective clustering and longer network lifetimes are achieved using multi-swarm optimization (MSO) and game theory based on locust search (LS-II). In this research, MSO is used to improve the optimum routing, while the LS-II… More >

Abstract Football is one of the most-watched sports, but analyzing players’ performance is currently difficult and labor intensive. Performance analysis is done manually, which means that someone must watch video recordings and then log each player’s performance. This includes the number of passes and shots taken by each player, the location of the action, and whether or not the play had a successful outcome. Due to the time-consuming nature of manual analyses, interest in automatic analysis tools is high despite the many interdependent phases involved, such as pitch segmentation, player and ball detection, assigning players to their teams, identifying individual players,… More >

Abstract Signature verification, which is a method to distinguish the authenticity of signature images, is a biometric verification technique that can effectively reduce the risk of forged signatures in financial, legal, and other business environments. However, compared with ordinary images, signature images have the following characteristics: First, the strokes are slim, i.e., there is less effective information. Second, the signature changes slightly with the time, place, and mood of the signer, i.e., it has high intraclass differences. These challenges lead to the low accuracy of the existing methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). This study proposes an end-to-end multi-path attention… More >

Abstract The theory of rough set represents a non-statistical methodology for analyzing ambiguity and imprecise information. It can be characterized by two crisp sets, named the upper and lower approximations that are used to determine the boundary region and accurate measure of any subset. This article endeavors to achieve the best approximation and the highest accuracy degree by using the minimal structure approximation space via ideal . The novel approach (indicated by ) modifies the approximation space to diminish the boundary region and enhance the measure of accuracy. The suggested method is more accurate than Pawlak’s and EL-Sharkasy techniques. Via illustrated… More >

Abstract Monocular 6D pose estimation is a functional task in the field of computer vision and robotics. In recent years, 2D-3D correspondence-based methods have achieved improved performance in multiview and depth data-based scenes. However, for monocular 6D pose estimation, these methods are affected by the prediction results of the 2D-3D correspondences and the robustness of the perspective-n-point (PnP) algorithm. There is still a difference in the distance from the expected estimation effect.

Therefore, pre-impact fall detection, which identifies a fall before the body collides with the floor, would be essential.

Pre-impact fall detection solutions typically use either a threshold-based or machine learning-based approach, although the threshold value would be difficult to accurately determine in threshold-based methods. Moreover, while additional features could sometimes assist in categorizing falls and non-falls more precisely, the estimated determination of the significant features would be too time-intensive, thus using a… More >
