Three-dimensional (3D) video technologies are becoming increasingly popular, as it can provide users with high quality and immersive experiences. However, color inconsistency between the camera views is an urgent problem to be solved in multi-view imaging. In this paper, a perception-based color correction method for multi-view images is proposed. In the proposed method, human visual sensitivity (VS) and visual attention (VA) models are incorporated into the correction process. Firstly, the VS property is used to reduce the computational complexity by removing these visual insensitive regions. Secondly, the VA property is used to improve the perceptual quality of local VA regions by performing VA-dependent color correction. Experimental results show that compared with other color correction methods, the proposed method can greatly promote the perceptual quality of local VA regions greatly and reduce the computational complexity, and obtain higher coding performance.

A hybrid procedure based on multi-Criteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) and a Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA) is proposed to evaluate the relative efficiency of customer services in bank branches. First, a three-stage process including sub-processes such as customer expectations, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty, is defined to model the banking customer services. Then, fulfillment of customer expectations, customer loyalty level, and the customer satisfaction degree are measured and quantified through a multi-dimensional questionnaire based on customers' perceptions analysis and MUSA method, respectively. The customer services scores and the other criteria such as mean of employee evaluation score, operation costs, assets, deposits, loans, number of accounts are considered in network three-stage DEA model. The proposed NDEA model is formed based on multipliers perspective, output-oriented, and constant return to scale assumptions. The proposed NDEA model quantifies and assesses the total efficiency of main process and assigns the efficiency to customer expectations, customer satisfactions, and customer loyalties sub-processes in bank branches. The whole procedure is applied on 30 bank branches in IRAN. The proposed approach can be used in other organizations such as airports, airline agencies, urban transportation systems, railway organizations, chain stores, chain restaurants, public libraries, and entertainment centers.

In this paper a new determination scheme of linear decision function is proposed. In this scheme, the weights in linear decision function is obtained by genetic algorithm. The result considering balance between clusters as well as classification error can be obtained by properly selecting the fitness function of genetic algorithm in determination of linear decision function and this has the merit in applying this scheme to the construction of binary decision tree. The proposed scheme is applied to the artificial two dimensional data and real multi dimensional data. Experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we investigate the visual and quantitative analysis at the same time with an electronic tongue(e-tongue) system using an array of ISE(ion-selective electrode). We apply the FCM(fuzzy c-means) algorithm combined with PCA(principal component analysis), which can be reduced multi-dimensional data to third-dimensional data, to classify data patterns detected by E-Tongue system. The proposed technique can be designed to solve the cluster centers and membership grade of patterns combined with the output results obtained by PCA method. According to the proposed technique, the membership grade of unknown pattern, which does not shown previously can be determined and analyzed visually. Conclusionally, the relationship between the standard patterns and unknown pattern can be easily analyzed. Throughout the experimental trials, the proposed technique has been confirmed using developed E-Tongue system.

Lately, ocean nuclear power plants have attracted attention as one of diverse uses of nuclear power plants. Because ocean nuclear power plants are movable or transportable, it is necessary to analyze the thermal hydraulics in a moving frame of reference, and computer codes have been developed to predict thermal hydraulics in large moving systems. The purpose of this study is to incorporate a three dimensional dynamic motion model into the SPACE code (Safety and Performance Analysis CodE) so that the code is able to analyze thermal hydraulics in an ocean nuclear power plant. A rotation system that describes three-dimensional rotations about an arbitrary axis was implemented, and modifications were made to the one-dimensional momentum equations to reflect the rectilinear and rotational acceleration effects. To demonstrate the code's ability to solve a problem utilizing a rotational frame of reference, code calculations were conducted on various conceptual problems in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional pipeline loops. In particular, the code results for the three-dimensional pipeline loop with a tilted rotation axis agreed well with the multi-dimensional CFD results.

A CCD camera is used to determine the position of the point sources that influence the measurement accuracy in the absolute interferometer. The principle of determination method is based on the GPS in which the position is determined by more than 3 distance information from the known positions. Two-dimensional array of photo-detectors in the CCD camera is used as known positions. Performing optimization of the cost function constructed with phase values measured at each pixel on the CCD camera, the position coordinates of each source is precisely determined.

Experience on the construction of several 100-plus-story skyscrapers including Guangzhou West Tower, Guangzhou East Tower, and Shenzhen's KK100 is described considering the increasingly strong development trend of 100-plus-story skyscrapers in China. Difficulties in the construction of 100-plus-story skyscrapers are investigated. Four innovative construction technologies receive detailed descriptions: intelligently and entirely-jacked work platforms, formwork and suspension scaffolding systems ("jacking and formwork systems"), multi-function low-carbon concrete, 5D-BIM ("five-dimensional building information modeling"), and safe and rapid vertical transport, as they have found successful applications in actual projects. Popularized systematically as technical achievements, these technologies will significantly influence the construction of similar projects in the future, and produce more social and economic benefits.

Based on experimental measurements conducted on many different practical wireless communication systems, ambient noise has been shown to be decidedly non-Gaussian owing to impulsive phenomena. However, most multiuser detection techniques proposed thus far have considered Gaussian noise only. They may therefore suffer from a considerable performance loss in the presence of impulsive ambient noise. In this paper, we consider a large-scale multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system in the presence of non-Gaussian noise and propose a genetic algorithm (GA) based detector for large-dimensional multiuser signal detection. The proposed algorithm is more robust than linear multi-user detectors for non-Gaussian noise because it uses a multi-directional search to manipulate and maintain a population of potential solutions. Meanwhile, the proposed GA-based algorithm has a comparable complexity because it does not require any complicated computations (e.g., a matrix inverse or derivation). The simulation results show that the GA offers a performance gain over the linear minimum mean square error algorithm for both non-Gaussian and Gaussian noise.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cases related to the multi-dimensional urban planning and its related systems that can contribute to the urban regeneration as the policies and projects for stereoscopic city increase. Through the case analysis, urban regeneration function and role of multi-dimensional urban planning are identified as connection of places, activation of local economy, expansion of infrastructure and supply of housing. In the institutional sector, private participation is hindered due to the ban on the establishment of the right to hold state property. In addition, it is difficult to utilize the three-dimensional urban space without land securing at a certain rate based on uniform installation standards of the two-dimensional land use plan, and the problem of insufficient interconnection between law and institution is derived. In conclusion, it should actively support and promote the promotion of the three-dimensional facility with the aim of diversifying the regional infrastructure structure and strengthening the urban function. In addition, development of stereoscopic and compound development should be promoted for old urban areas, and parking lots, underground shopping malls, parking lots, etc. should be installed using the subspaces of parks, schools, roads and traditional markets of old residential areas. Finally, cooperation between the central government, the municipalities and the private sector is necessary for the realization of these urban regeneration projects.

Confocal scanning microscopy is a widely used technique for three dimensional measurements because it is characterized by high resolution, high SNR and depth discrimination. Generally an image is generated by moving one optical probe that satisfies the confocal condition on the specimen. Measurement speed is limited by movement speed of the optical probe; scanning speed. To improve measurement speed we increase the number of optical probes. Specimen region to scan is divided by optical probes. Multi-point information each optical probe points to can be obtained simultaneously. Therefore image acquisition speed is increased in proportion to the number of optical probes. And multiple optical probes from red, green and blue laser sources can be used for color imaging and image quality, i.e., contrast, is improved by adding color information by this way. To conclude, this technique contributes to the improvement of measurement speed and image quality.
