Lane-level map matching is essential for autonomous driving. In this paper, we propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) trajectory of noisy GPS measurements to the road lanes in which vehicle records its positions. To our knowledge, first time that HMM used lane-level matching. Apart from values, model further assisted by yaw rate data (converted lane change indicator signal) and visual cues form le...

The purpose of this paper is to review and critique studies that have been conducted on dolphin-assisted therapy for children with various disorders. Studies have been released claiming swimming with dolphins is therapeutic and beneficial for children with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, physical disabilities, and other psychological disorders. The majority of the studies cond...

One challenge of building and maintaining large-scale data management systems is managing data fusion from multiple data sources. Often times, different data sources may represent the same data element in a slightly different way. These differences may represent an error in the data or a disagreement between sources on the correct value that best represents the data point. When the quantity of ...

Supervised named-entity recognition (NER) systems perform better on text that is similar to its training data. Despite this, systems are often trained with as much data as possible, ignoring its relevance. This study explores if NER can be improved by excluding out of domain training data. A maximum entropy model is developed and evaluated twice with each domain in Stockholm-Umeå Corpus (SUC), ...

The ability to find image similarities (feature matching) between laparoscopic views is essential in many robotic-assisted Minimally-Invasive Surgery (MIS) applications. Differently from feature tracking methods, feature matching does not make any restrictive assumption about the sequential nature of the two images or about the organ motion, and could then be used, e.g., to recover tracked feat...

History matching forms an integral part of the reservoir modeling work-flow process. Despite the existence of many history matching tools, the integration of production data with seismic and geological continuity data remains a challenge. Geostatistical tools exists for integrating large scale seismic and fine scale well/core data. A general framework for integrating production data with divers...

This paper was selected for presentation by an SPE Program Committee following review of information contained in an abstract submitted by the authors(s).

Streamlines have proven useful for visualizing and solving complex history-matching problems that enhance reservoir description. This paper presents a novel, multiple-scale streamline-based technique that perturbs the reservoir model in a manner fully consistent with prior geological data. Streamlines define dynamic drainage zones around production wells and the mismatch between historical and ...
