Diversity reception is a widely used technique in radio communications to reduce signal fading due to complex propagation environments. Fading is caused by multipath propagation of the radio signal in complex environments, which in practice are either downtown areas in large cities or indoor environments. This presentation is focused on the design problem of an antenna array, which could be use...

The propagation channel is the principal contributor to many of the problems and limitations that degrades the performance of mobile radio systems. One obvious example is multipath propagation which is a major characteristic of the mobile radio channels, which severely affects the performance of digital systems by reducing the carrier-to-interference ratio. Thus accurate characterization of the...

Accurate and complete immunization data are necessary to assess vaccine coverage, safety and effectiveness. Across Canada, different methods and data sources are used to assess vaccine coverage, but these have not been systematically described. Our primary objective was to examine and describe the methods used to determine immunization coverage in Canada. The secondary objective was to compare ...

Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) have recently shown promising performance in many computer vision tasks, especially image-based recognition. How to effectively apply ConvNets to sequence-based data is still an open problem. This paper proposes an effective yet simple method to represent spatio-temporal information carried in 3D skeleton sequences into three 2D images by encoding the jo...

This document briefly describes the systems submitted by the Center for Robust Speech Systems (CRSS) from The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) in the 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation. Our systems primarily use factor analysis as feature extractor [1] and support vector machine (SVM) classification framework. Our main focus in the evaluation is on the telephone trials in the core cond...

The increase in mobile communications traffic has led to heightened interest in the use of deterministic propagation methods together with digital building and terrain databases for propagation prediction in urban areas. Ray methods have been particularly popular, and there are many papers in the literature describing the performance of various approaches to ray tracing. This paper will describ...

Human action recognition using 3D pose data has gained a growing interest in the field of computer robotic interfaces and pattern recognition since the availability of hardware to capture human pose. In this paper, we propose a fast, simple, and powerful method of human action recognition based on human kinematic similarity. The key to this method is that the action descriptor consists of joint...

The recognition of human actions based on three-dimensional depth data has become a very active research field in computer vision. In this paper, we study the fusion at the feature and decision levels for depth data captured by a Kinect camera to improve action recognition. More precisely, from each depth video sequence, we compute Depth Motion Maps (DMM) from three projection views: front, sid...
