Personnel detection at border crossing becomes an important issue recently. To reduce the false alarm caused by nonhuman animals or the existence of multiple objects, it is important to discriminate between humans and nonhuman animals. In this paper, based on phenomenology of the differences between humans and four-legged animals, we propose using enhanced autocorrelation pattern for feature ex...

The ability to represent knowledge about space and its position therein is crucial for a mobile robot. To this end, topological and semantic descriptions are gaining popularity for augmenting purely metric space representations. In this paper we present a multi-modal place classification system that allows a mobile robot to identify places and recognize semantic categories in an indoor environm...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new two-stage method for fuzzy multi-objective linear program and apply to engineering project portfolio selection. In the fuzzy multi-objective linear program, all the objective coefficients, technological coefficients and resources are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). An order relationship for TrFNs is introduced by using the interval expectation of...

The overall performance of a multi-stage decision-tree classifier has been shown to be better than that of the conventional single-stage classifier with the same number of features because different feature subsets can be selected at different stages. But, the classification time increases due to the complexity of computation. The 1 inear binary tree classifier designed by the method proposed i...

This paper presents a new strategy based on Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for damping Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine environment. The recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the ABC optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in power ...
