  • Single pixel imaging technology has developed for years, however the video acquisition on the single pixel camera is not a well-studied problem in computer vision. This work proposes a new scheme for single pixel camera to acquire video data and a new regularization for robust signal recovery algorithm. The method establishes a single pixel video compressive sensing scheme to reconstruct the video clips in spatial domain by recovering the difference of the consecutive frames. Different from traditional data acquisition method works in transform domain, the proposed scheme reconstructs the video frames directly in spatial domain. At the same time, a new regularization called spatial cluster is introduced to improve the performance of signal reconstruction. The regularization derives from the observation that the nonzero coefficients often tend to be clustered in the difference of the consecutive video frames. We implement an experiment platform to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Numerous experiments show the well performance of video acquisition and frame reconstruction on single pixel camera.

  • Conducting nonlinear pushover analysis typically demands intricate and resource-intensive computational efforts, involving a highly iterative process necessary for meeting both design-defined and requirements of codes in performance-based design. This study presents a computer-based technique for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, incorporating optimization numerical approaches, optimality criteria and pushover analysis to automatically enhance seismic design performance. The optimal design of concrete beams, columns and shear walls in concrete frames is presented using the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm. The methodology is applied to three frames: a 4-story, an 8-story and a 12-story. These structures are designed to minimize overall weight while satisfying the levels of performance including Life Safety (LS), Collapse Prevention (CP), and Immediate Occupancy (IO). The process involves three main steps: first, optimization codes are implemented in MATLAB software, and the OpenSees software is used for nonlinear static analysis. By solving the optimization problem, several top designs are obtained for each frame and shear wall. Pushover analysis is conducted considering the constraints on relative displacement and plastic hinge rotation based on the nonlinear provisions of the FEMA356 nonlinear provisions to achieve each level of performance. Subsequently, convergence, pushover, and drift history curves are plotted for each frame, and leading to the selection of the best design. The results demonstrate that the algorithm effectively achieves optimal designs with reduced weight, meeting the desired performance criteria.

  • In this paper we propose an adjustment algorithm for bandwidth grant interval of UGS class flows the overload status of certain frames occurs due to the pre-defined grant interval mechanism of UGS class. In IEEE 802.16/WiBro systems, UGS class is the highest priority to guaranteed QoS Parameters. However, existing grant interval mechanisms of UGS class do not consider the condition that the grant interval of multiple UGS class flows overlaps with certain frames, and thus it causes the overload status in the system. Therefore, the system cannot be guaranteed QoS for UGS class flows. In this paper, we show the occurrence of the problem through simulation studies and propose an adjustment algorithm to solve the problem. Our simulation results show that there is performance improvement in the proposed algorithm. We expect that the real system in which the proposed scheme is applied can provide more stable QoS services by reducing the delay problem that occurs due to the occurrence of the existing grant interval problem of UGS class.

  • In this paper, we propose a method to solve ghosting problem. To generate adaptive background, using an exponentially decreasing number of frames, may improve object detection performance. To extract moving objects from the background by using a differential image, detection error may be caused by object rotations or environmental changes. A ghosting problem can be issue-driven when there are outdoor environmental changes and moving objects. We studied that a differential image by adaptive background may reduce the ghosting problem. In experimental results, we test that our method can solve the ghosting problem.

  • We propose a statically motivated scene change detection algorithm. As the difference between the neighboring frames will generate peaks at scene boundaries, the problem of detecting fast scene changes is equivalent to detecting peaks in a given sequence. In this paper, the peak detection is performed via several statistics, namely the sample means and variances. For eliminating flash lights as well as detecting fast scene changes within a small number of frames, we have opted to use a two-stage process for computing the necessary statistics. The results indicate superiority of necessary statistics. The results indicate superiority of the proposed algorithm over the previously reported algorithm.

  • An approximate method of normal coordinate idealization for use in nonlinear R/C frames has been developed. Normal coordinate apporaches have been used for nonlinear problems in the past, but they are not received wide acceptance because of the need for eigenvector computation in each time step. The proposed method cicumvents the eigenvector recalculation problem by evaluating a limited number of sets of mode shapes in performing the dynamic analysis. Then the predetermined sets of eigenvectors are used in the nonlinear dynamic analysis, repeatedly. The method is applied to frame structures with ductiles R/C elements. The plastic hinge zones are modeled with hysteresis loops which evince degrading stiffness and pinching effects. The method is applied to frames with local nonlinearities. Efficiencies and accuracies of the method for this application are presented.

  • In this paper, we solved the underestimation problem of PSNR, which is caused by repeated frames, by easily synchronizing original and decoded frames using the proposed marks. Also we propose full-reference system which can be applied for measuring the quality of various kinds of video communication systems, e.g. wireless handsets, mobile phones and applications for PC. In addition, we propose a new video quality assessment metric using video communication parameters, i.e. frame rate and delay. According to the experiments, the proposed metric is not only appropriate for real-time video communication systems but also shows better correlation with the subjective video quality assessment than PSNR. The proposed measuring system and metric can be effectively used for measuring and standardizing the video quality of future communications.

  • This paper is to find optimum design of plane framed structures with discrete variables. Global search algorithms for this problem are Genetic Algorithms(GAs), Simulated Annealing(SA) and Shuffled Complex Evolution(SCE), and hybrid methods (GAs-SA, GAs-SCE). GAs and SA are heuristic search algorithms and effective tools which is finding global solution for discrete optimization. In particular, GAs is known as the search method to find global optimum or near global optimum. In this paper, reinforced concrete plane frames with rectangular section and steel plane frames with W-sections are used for the design of discrete optimization. These structures are designed for stress constraints. The robust and effectiveness of Genetic Algorithms are demonstrated through several examples.

  • Feature matching is often used for image alignment. It, however, isconsidered as motion estimation problem in case of video. In that case we need only a motion vector in an image. Then we can compute the distance between two images although the images are far away each other. So we propose affine transformation from camera motion for spatial positioning of frames and aligning those frames. The data from this method can be useful for calculating the distance, stabilizing video, photographing panorama and so on.

  • The effective length factor is a familiar concept for practicing engineers and has long been an approach for column stability evaluations. Neglecting the effects of axial force in the restraining members, in the case of sway prevented frames, is one of the simplifying assumptions which the Alignment Charts, the conventional nomographs for K-Factor determination, are based on. A survey on the problem reveals that the K-Factor of the columns may be significantly affected when the differences in axial forces are taken into account. In this paper a new iterative approach, with high convergence rate, based on the general principles of structural mechanics is developed and the patterns for detection of the critical member are presented and discussed in details. Such facilities are not available in the previously presented methods. A constructive methodology is outlined and the usefulness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by numerical examples.
