Method for Aureole Estimation Refinement Through Comparisons Between Observed Aureole and Estimated Aureole Based on Monte Carlo Ray Tracing

Author 1: Kohei Arai

Method for aureole estimation refinement through comparisons between observed aureole and estimated aureole based on Monte Carlo Ray Tracing: MCRT is proposed. Through some experiments, it is found that the proposed method does work for refinement of aureole estimation. The experimental results also show the proposed method is validated through… Read full abstract & cite →

Multifidus Muscle Volume Estimation Based on Three Dimensional Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis: MRA with Buttocks Computer-Tomography: CT Images

Author 1: Kohei Arai

Multi-Resolution Analysis:. MRA based edge detection algorithm is proposed for estimation of volume of multifidus muscle in the Computer Tomography: CT scanned image The volume of multifidus muscle would be a good measure for metabolic syndrome rather than internal fat from a point of view from processing complexity. The proposed… Read full abstract & cite →

Discrimination Method between Prolate and Oblate Shapes of Leaves Based on Polarization Characteristics Measured with Polarization Film Attached Cameras

Author 1: Kohei Arai

Method for discrimination between prolate and oblate shapes of leaves based on polarization characteristics is proposed Method for investigation of polarization characteristics of leaves by means of Monte Carlo Ray Tracing: MCRT is also proposed. Validity of the proposed discrimination method is confirmed with MCRT simulations. Also field experiments are… Read full abstract & cite →

Experimental Approach of Reflectance Based Vicarious Calibration Method for Solar Reflectance Wavelength Region of Sensor Onboard Remote Sensing Satellites

Author 1: Kohei Arai

Experimental approach of reflectance based vicarious calibration of solar reflectance wavelength region of mission instruments onboard remote sensing satellites is conducted. As an example, vicarious calibration of ASTER/VNIR with estimated aerosol refractive index and size distribution that depends on atmospheric conditions is discussed. Strange solution of estimated refractive index and… Read full abstract & cite →

Contradiction Resolution of Competitive and Input Neurons to Improve Prediction and Visualization Performance

Author 1: Ryotaro Kamimura

In this paper, we propose a new type of informationtheoretic method to resolve the contradiction observed in competitive and input neurons. For competitive neurons, contradiction between self-evaluation (individuality) and outer-evaluation (collectivity) exists, which is reduced to realize the self-organizing maps. For input neurons, there exists contradiction between the use of… Read full abstract & cite →

Evolving Software Effort Estimation Models Using Multigene Symbolic Regression Genetic Programming

Author 1: Sultan Aljahdali Author 2: Alaa Sheta

Software has played an essential role in engineering, economic development, stock market growth and military applications. Mature software industry count on highly predictive software effort estimation models. Correct estimation of software effort lead to correct estimation of budget and development time. It also allows companies to develop appropriate time plan… Read full abstract & cite →
