HUMAN GAIT RECOGNITION USING BODY MEASURES AND JOINT ANGLES

SOHRAB ROUZBEH, MAHDI BABAEI

Gait is the walking style or pattern of the human motions. This research aims to improve the accuracy of human gait recognition using the information provided by Microsoft Kinect. It benefits from a human joint positioning system by Kinect in three dimensions and proposes a new method in recognising the human gait. In this method, the angles between the body’s joints during the walking process have been used in ………

AUTO-SYNTHESIZE LOGICAL 3D LARGE MODEL
BASED ON SIMPLE INPUT PRIMITIVE MODEL

KOK-WHY NG, KOK-YAN YONG, MAHDI BABAEI

3D modelling is a tedious and time-consuming process in games and entertainment industries. Due to the availability of high performance graphics hardware today, the demand for higher detailed and realistic graphics complicates tremendously the creation of large 3D model such as a city. Several modelling techniques have been introduced to ease the productivity of 3D modelling. However, they only fit for certain models. This paper proposes to auto-synthesize logical and realistic 3D model based on simple input primitive models

LIKELIHOOD RATIO FUSION WITHIN SCORES OF INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS FEATURES BASED FACE BIOMETRICS VERIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOLTANE MOHAMED

Face recognition has long been a goal of computer vision, but only in recent years reliable automated face recognition has become a realistic target of biometrics research. In this paper the contribution of classifier analysis to the Face Biometrics Verification performance is examined. It refers to the paradigm that in classification tasks, the use of multiple observations and their judicious fusion at the data, hence the decision fusions at different levels improve the correct decision performance. The fusion tasks reported in this work were carried through fusion of two well-known face recognizers………

SSITE SUITABILITY SELECTION FOR FUTURE ESTABLISHMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN MUBI NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ADAMAWA STATE, NIGERIA: THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM APPROACH

GODWIN BERNARD MUSKUT1, DR. ALFRED D. MSHELIA2 , SAMUEL HYELLAMADA JERRY3

The objective of this research work is aim at providing reliable information to land-use planners, it offers almost limitless opportunities for intelligent land-use allocation using Geographic Information System approach. Land-use planning is a decision making process, it is a geometrical process. Therefore, planners need appropriate and reliable geographical information to enable them make sound decisions relating to sharing of various competing land-uses. Thus, the end product of the GIS will be part of an Educational Decision Support System that provides the user with a map of Mubi North with focus on the schools locations and future sites for establishment of

THE IMPLICATIONS OF MOBILE COMMERCE APPLICATIONS: THE CASE STUDY OF UBER IN ROMANIA

ALICE CIRSTEA

The phenomenal growth in the use of smartphones, GPS and Internet a is giving rise to a revolution in the business world. This revolution is focused on conducting business on the move usually by mobile commerce applications This trend is fueled by the consumer interest in being able to access business services anytime and anywhere. It is also motivated by the interest of the business community to extend their reach to customers at all times and at all places. This paper is focusing on the Uber’s mobile application which challenged the taxi business environment and also the regulations on the field.

APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (G.I.S.) IN EVALUATING SUITABLE AREAS FOR WHEAT CULTIVATION IN ADAMAWA STATE NIGERIA

ALFRED MISHELIA, ELIZABETH MATHIAS ZIRRA

Land Suitability Analysis (LSA) is a GIS-based process applied to determine the suitability of a specific area for considered use, i. e. it reveals the suitability of an area regarding its intrinsic characteristics (suitable or unsuitable) ( Sudabe etal 2010). In Nigeria as a whole and Adamawa in specific, wheat is one of the important cereal crops but the production is very low. In particular the wheat production does not meet the demands. The aim of this study is application of geographic information system in evaluating suitable areas for wheat cultivation in Adamawa state Nigeria. FAO 1976 suitability guidelines Boolean method, and GIS technique were used in order to get suitable areas for wheat production in the study area and the result showed that 12% of the total land mass of Adamawa State is highly suitable for wheat cultivation, 19% moderately suitable, 52% marginally suitable, 8% currently not suitable and 4 % permanently not suitable.

SELF-SERVICE TECHNOLOGY (SST) SERVICE QUALITY, INTERPERSONAL SERVICE QUALITY, AND RETAIL SUPPORT

BAHAREH BABAEI , NEGAR KKODAMORADI , MARYAM SAIEDY

The main goal of this study is to examine how two elements of interactive service quality (interpersonal service quality and self-service technology service quality) are related to retail support. This study also goals to recognize the moderating effects of individual attributes. The results show that two elements of interactive quality are related to retail support intention‎s.

USING MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE AND KANSEI ENGINEERING TO EXPLORE RESEARCH METHODS ON THE WEB PAGE LAYOUT METHOD

CHEN-YUAN LIU, PEI-YU LIAO

Electronic commerce (E-commerce) is an entry interface of hyperlinks for presenting a website’s information to visitors, which is mostly concerned with human perception in terms of users’ comprehension and mental demands. The visual effect of web banner and content advertisements are especially important in electronic commerce interface design and assume a marketing strategy. With the prosperous growth of EC, cascading style sheets framework supply designers the structure of website and modeling template, website towards cross-platform and be used extensively in other web devices. This paper aims to derive website page styles from design factors of essential web framework and accord with the demands of the market, and pursue to provide a model for web image design which meets customers’ needs …

APPLICATION OF FUZZY LOGIC FOR PRIORITIZING SERVICE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN HEALTHCARE
A SURVEY

SHEWIT WOLDEGEBRIEL, DANIEL KITAW

ABSTRACT
Service activities are multifaceted and have distinctive behavior of being simultaneous with their delivery and consumption. This makes them intricate and of problematic nature. It is also common to hear customers’ complaints in service areas. In healthcare centers, the complaints are high and need immediate solution as the activities in the healthcare consist a work of life perpetuation that should be delivered as fast as possible. Thus, improving the service quality of healthcare centers is a determinant issue. In addition, customer needs are different in nature and difficult to understand. Prioritizing service quality improvement in healthcare is usually uncertain and vague. From the existing methods, there is no single method which fully handles the uncertainties. This paper proposes a fuzzy logic integrated with analytical hierarchy process (AHP) (fuzzy extended AHP) in order to consider the uncertainties to prioritize service
