Abstract

Introducing motion sensors into smartphones contributed to a wide range of applications in human-phone interaction, gaming, and many others. However, built-in sensors that detect subtle motion changes (e.g. accelerometers), might also reveal information about taps on touch screens: the main user input mode. Few researchers have already demonstrated the idea of exploiting motion sensors as side-channels into inferring keystrokes. Taken at most as initial explorations, much research is still needed to analyze the practicality of the new threat and examine various aspects of its implementation. One important aspect affecting directly the attack effectiveness is the selection of the right combination of sensors, to supply inference data. Although other aspects also play crucial role (e.g. the features set), we start in this paper by focusing on the comparison of different available sensors, in terms of the inference accuracy. We consider individual sensors shipped on Android phones, and study few options of preprocessing their raw datasets as well as fusing several sensors' readings. Our results indicate an outstanding performance of the gyroscope, and the potential of sensors data fusion. However, it seems that sensors with magnetometer component or the accelerometer alone have less benefit in the context of the adverted attack.

Abstract

Quadrangle and line tracking are essential for many real world applications of computer vision. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient line tracker that can robustly and accurately track lines in an image. We use a multiple-model-Kalman filter (MMKF) scheme, which can handle line tracking accurately and robustly. The basic idea is to run N multiple sub-Kalman filters in parallel. Each filter is configured to use a different state transition model. All the filters are updated by the measurement at the same time following the conventional Kalman filter update process. The final prediction is a combination of outputs from all the Kalman filter modules. After lines are detected, we developed a scheme to merge the lines together to become suitable quadrangles. The experimental result shows that the proposed system can track lines and quadrangle robustly in real time. The result is useful in shape detection and should be suitable for building many mobile projector applications.

Abstract

One of the major challenges due to spectrum scarcity in modern wireless communication is on antenna design that can serve a non-contagious frequency spectrum. In this paper, wideband and multiband design approaches are proposed to produce antennas that can serve various wireless technologies using different frequencies from 2.3 to 6.0 GHz, covering WiFi frequencies at 2.4-2.48 GHz, 5,15-5,35 GHz and 5,725-5,825 GHz, as well as WiMax frequencies at 2.3-2.4 GHz, 2.495-2.695 GHz, 3.3-3.8 GHz, and 5.25-5.85 GHz. The wideband and multiband antenna were implemented on an 0.8 mm thick of FR4 epoxy dielectric substrate with permittivity εr="4".3. The return loss of 10 dB can be achieved for 2.3 to 6 GHz in wideband antenna, and a tripe band of 2.3-2.8 GHz, 3.3-3.7 GHz, and above 4.6 GHz in multiband antenna. The gain of both antennas increases almost linearly from 0 dB at 2.3 GHz to around 4.5 dB at 6 GHz, except for the stop band at 2.8-3.3 GHz which has a significant drop of gain, corresponding to the stop frequency band. Antenna radiation pattern is bidirectional at x-y plane and nearly omnidirectional at y-z plane, and shows a similar patern for both wideband and multiband design approaches.

Abstract

Text normalization is an important technique in document image analysis and recognition. It consists of many preprocessing stages, which include slope correction, text padding, skew correction, and straight the writing line. In this side, text normalization has an important role in many procedures such as text segmentation, feature extraction and characters recognition. In the present article, a new method for text baseline detection, straightening, and slant correction for Arabic handwritten texts is proposed. The method comprises a set of sequential steps: first components segmentation is done followed by components text thinning; then, the direction features of the skeletons are extracted, and the candidate baseline regions are determined. After that, selection of the correct baseline region is done, and finally, the baselines of all components are aligned with the writing line.  The experiments are conducted on IFN/ENIT benchmark Arabic dataset. The results show that the proposed method has a promising and encouraging performance.

Abstract

We present and evaluate the implementation of Part of Speech (POS) Tagging for the Kadazan language by using the Transformation-based approach. The main purpose of this study is to develop an automatic POS tagging for the Kadazan language, which had never, been developed before. POS tagging can tag the Kadazan corpus automatically and can help reduce the disambiguation problem of this language. The implementation of this approach in this study is to achieve a better and higher accuracy or at least similar to that of the other tagging approaches such as the statistical and the original rule-based approach. This approach can transform the tags based on the prescribed set of rules. A number of objectives were set in order to achieve the main purpose of this study. Firstly, to apply the lexical and contextual rules for this language. Secondly, to implement the Brill's algorithm based on the set of rules and finally to determine the effectiveness of the Kadazan Part of Speech by using this approach. The tagging system had been trained using four Kadazan corpuses containing 5663 words in all. Based on the evaluation results, the tagging system had achieved around 93% accuracy.

Abstract

In this paper, characterization of log-periodic fractal Koch antenna in series iteration and equipped with balance-unbalance (balun) unit is investigated numerically and experimentally. The proposed antenna which is deployed an FR-4 Epoxy dielectric substrate using printed-antenna techniques is designed based on Koch fractal geometry in series iteration to minimize its transversal dimension. Since the proposed antenna is a balanced antenna type, then it requires a balun circuit to be available being fed from a coaxial type transmission line. Prior to realization and experimental characterization, some basic antenna parameters including VSWR, impedance characteristic, gain, and radiation pattern are investigated numerically to obtain the optimum architectural design. Moreover, the number of antenna elements as well as the effect of balun unit is also analyzed numerically. From the result, it shows that the proposed antenna has a dimension of 120mm x 150mm, working bandwidth from 0.7GHz"“2.6GHz for VSWR < 2, and overall gain of more than 6dB for frequency range > 1.6GHz.

Abstract

Skeletonization "also known as thinning" is an important step in the pre-processing phase in many of pattern recognition techniques. The output of Skeletonization process is the skeleton of the pattern in the images. Skeletonization is a crucial process for many applications such as OCR and writer identification. However, the improvements in this area are only a recent phenomenon and still require more researches. In this paper, a new skeletonization algorithm is proposed. This algorithm combines between parallel and sequential, which is categorized under an iterative approach. The suggested method is conducted by experiments of benchmark dataset for evaluation. The outcome is to obtain much better results compared to other thinning methods that are discussed in comparison part.

Abstract

Information about medicinal plants that is available in text documents is generally quite easy to access, however, one needs some efforts to use it. This research was aimed at utilizing crucial information taken from a text document to identify the family of several species of medicinal plants using a heuristic approach, i.e. genetic programming. Each of the species has its unique features. The genetic program puts the characteristics or special features of each family into a tree form. There are a number of processes involved in the investigated method, i.e. data acquisition, booleanization, grouping of training and test data, evaluation, and analysis. The genetic program uses a training process to select the best individual, initializes a generate-rule process to create several individuals and then executes a fitness evaluation. The next procedure is a genetic operation process, which consists of tournament selection to choose the best individual based on a fitness value, the crossover operation and the mutation operation. These operations have the purpose of complementing the individual. The best individual acquired is the expected solution, which is a rule for classifying medicinal plants. This process produced three rules, one for each plant family, displaying a feature structure that distinguishes each of the families from each other. The genetic program then used these rules to identify the medicinal plants, achieving an average accuracy of 86.47%.

Abstract

Rapid identification of content structures in a scientific paper is of great importance particularly for those who actively engage in frontier research. This paper presents a multi-classifier approach to identify such structures in terms of classification of rhetorical sentences in scientific papers. The idea behind this approach is based on an observation that no single classifier is the best performer for classifying all rhetorical categories of sentences. Therefore, our approach learns which classifiers are good at what categories, assign the classifiers for those categories and apply only the right classifier for classifying a given category. This paper employsk-fold cross validation over training data to obtain the category-classifier mapping and then re-learn the classification model of the corresponding classifier using full training data on that particular category. This approach has been evaluated for identifying sixteen different rhetorical categories on sentences collected from ACL-ARC paper collection. The experimental results show that the multi-classifier approach can significantly improve the classification performance over multi-label classifiers.

Abstract

Volume is one of important issues in the production and processing of food product. Traditionally, volume measurement can be performed using water displacement method based on Archimedes' principle. Water displacement method is inaccurate and considered as destructive method. Computer vision offers an accurate and nondestructive method in measuring volume of food product. This paper proposes algorithm for volume measurement of irregular shape food product using computer vision based on Monte Carlo method. Five images of object were acquired from five different views and then processed to obtain the silhouettes of object. From the silhouettes of object, Monte Carlo method was performed to approximate the volume of object. The simulation result shows that the algorithm produced high accuracy and precision for volume measurement.
