Reconstructing 3D human models has a variety of applications in areas such as entertainment, medical, manufacturing, and design. Reconstruction techniques are classified based on characteristics data input, devices used, algorithms employed, which using anthropometric measurements is one the most widely used methods. Traditional methods reconstruction from rely technologies like Convolutional N...

Technological findings recommend that Electric Vehicles (EVs) play a vital role in the road transportation system. EV's are becoming more prominent as formal vehicles have substantial effect on atmosphere. The rising adoption of EVs will lead to an increase number charging stations would profoundly impact power grid. inappropriate forecasting EV Charging Stations (EVCSs) has detrimental distrib...

This paper proposes three novel techniques for improving the accuracy of the heuristic sinusoidal tracking algorithm proposed in [1]. When applied to audio coding these techniques extend the traditionally speech coding approach into true wideband audio coding. These techniques provide proper multiresolution sinusoidal tracking, matching across a number of variables instead of frequency alone, a...

Many recent planning heuristics are based on LP optimization. However, planning experts mostly use LP solvers as a black box and it is often not obvious to them which LP techniques would be most suitable for their specific applications. To foster the communication between the planning and the optimization community, this paper gives an easily accessible overview over these recent LP-based heuri...

In constraint satisfaction, local search is an incomplete method for finding a solution to a problem. Solving a general constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is known to be NP-complete; so that heuristic techniques are usually used. The main contribution of this work is twofold: (i) a technique for de-composing a CSP into a DFS-tree CSP structure; (ii) an heuristic search technique for solving ...

Clustering methods allow fast connection and also better routing and topology management of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In this paper a survey of clustering techniques for MANET is presented and some preliminary concepts for designing clustering algorithms are introduced. These concepts relate to network topology, routing schemes, graph partitioning and mobility algorithms. In addition, som...

In action planning, greedy best-first search (GBFS) is one of the standard techniques if suboptimal plans are accepted. GBFS uses a heuristic function to guide the search towards a goal state. To achieve generality, in domain-independant planning the heuristic function is generated automatically. A well-known problem of GBFS are search plateaus, i. e., regions in the search space where all stat...
