In this study, video super-resolution using particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to super-resolve low-resolution (LR) frames. The proposed super-resolution method consists of three main modules, i.e., supersampling, spatio-temporal classification, and frame fusion using PSO. In the proposed method, the LR frames are super-resolved to high-resolution frames through the fusion of four fu...

Adaptive Frame Selection for Enhanced Face Recognition in Low-Resolution Videos by Raghavender Reddy Jillela Master of Science in Electrical Engineering West Virginia University Arun Ross, PhD., Chair Performing face detection and recognition in low-resolution videos (e.g., surveillance videos) is a challenging task. To enhance the biometric content in these videos, imagelevel and score-level f...

F the past 20 years weaving segments have been analyzed and designed using the methodologies and procedures provided in the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).’ With the increase in urban growth in the mid-1960s, it was quickly realized that the procedures provided in the 1965 HCM for the analysis and design of weaving segments were in need of a critical review. In 1969 the National Cooperative...

Jointly deployed aspects may interact with each other. While some interactions might be intended, unintended interactions (interferences) can break a program. Detecting and resolving interferences is particularly hard if aspects are developed independently, without knowledge of each other. Work on interference detection has focused so far on the correctness of weaved programs. In this paper we ...

Dynamic weaving is much more flexible than static weaving because the separation of concerns remains at runtime. This results in highly configurable and adaptable applications, since the rules that govern the weaving of aspects can evolve during the application execution, according to different criteria – i.e. user preferences, execution context, etc. In this paper we describe the dynamic weavi...

A potentially important part of the design space for aspect-oriented languages remains largely unexplored: namely that space of languages that combine expressive pointcut languages and instance level aspect weaving. We define instance level aspect weaving as the ability to differentiate between two instances of a class and to weave them differently if needed. Note that instance level aspect wea...

A novel technique to generate three-dimensional Euclidean weavings, composed of close-packed, periodic arrays of one-dimensional fibres, is described. Some of these weavings are shown to dilate by simple shape changes of the constituent fibres (such as fibre straightening). The free volume within a chiral cubic example of a dilatant weaving, the ideal conformation of the G(129) weaving related ...

The warp ikat method of making decorated textiles is one of the most geographically widespread in southeast Asia, being used by Austronesian peoples in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, and Daic peoples on the Asian mainland. In this study a dataset consisting of the decorative characters of 36 of these warp ikat weaving traditions is investigated using Bayesian and Neighbornet technique...

Incorporating aspect-oriented paradigm to a polymorphically typed functional language enables the declaration of type-scoped advice, in which the effect of an aspect can be harnessed by introducing possibly polymorphic type constraints to the aspect. The amalgamation of aspect orientation and functional programming enables quick behavioral adaption of functions, clear separation of concerns and...

Carpet weavers suffer from musculoskeletal problems mainly attributed to poor working postures. Their posture is mostly constrained by the design of workstations. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of 2 design parameters (weaving height and seat type) on postural variables and subjective experience, and to develop guidelines for workstation adjustments. At an experimental works...
