Training a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to predict an individual’s opinion score regarding the quality of multimedia content is a recent research direction. This type of DNN is called Artificial Intelligence-based Observer (AIO). By generating individual opinion scores, AIOs enable the prediction of the Opinion Score Distribution (OSD) for a given multimedia content. Multimedia image quality assessment literature lacks contributions that thoroughly assess the ability of AIOs to predict the OSD. In this paper a new set of AIOs is trained and shown to predict the OSD more accurately than state-of-the-art methods.

In interactive computer graphics, Facial Action Coding System (FACS) has been adapted to enhance the emotional expressiveness of Virtual Humans (VHs) by associating certain Action Units (AUs) with corresponding facial blendshapes. In this way, animators can (theoretically) recreate any human emotion on a VH's face with precision and flexibility. However, conveying realistic and believable emotional expressions with this approach comes with some challenges. In particular, given a set of AUs representing a particular emotion, it is not straightforward to define the correct set of blendshape weights that can render the same realistic and believable emotion on all VHs, as even small differences in weight values can drastically change the perceived emotion. This complexity raises several critical questions such as: is there for each emotion a universal set of blendshape weights that can effectively convey that emotion across all VHs? How can this set be found? If such a universal set proves elusive, can optimal combinations be identified for specific subgroups based on specific facial features such as men and women? Answering these questions is critical to understanding the general applicability of FACS-based facial emotion coding, which allows designers and animators to easily develop VHs that are able to interact with users in a way that is both emotionally rich and authentic. This paper explores these issues through a preliminary investigation aimed at defining realistic representations of happiness.

In an era marked by technological advancements and a shift toward sustainable transportation solutions, dynamic modeling of autonomous electric vehicles is gaining significance. This paper explores the application of the singletrack model in the dynamic analysis of a customized electric Buggy, with the aim of enhancing maneuverability and the predictability of the vehicle's behavior under various operational conditions. Focusing on lateral dynamics, crucial for the precise control of vehicle motion, we have investigated the Buggy's response to different steering commands, analyzing how the interplay between steering, propulsion, and braking contributes to maintaining an accurate trajectory and executing effective evasive maneuvers. A framework based on principles of classical mechanics and control theory has been developed and implemented, which has enabled detailed simulation of the Buggy's interactions with its environment. The vehicle's stability, characterized by parameters such as the cornering stiffness of the wheels and the vehicle's inertia around the z-axis, was validated through eigenvalue analysis using Matlab simulations. These were instrumental in allowing us to visualize the dynamics of the Buggy without resorting to costly physical prototypes and time-consuming field testing. The results of our analysis demonstrate that the design and single-track model parameters selected for our Buggy ensure stability and maneuverability for both urban and off-road conditions, confirming that the system is stable at various speeds. The eigenvalue analysis indicates a system that retains equilibrium post-disturbances, with predictable and controllable vehicle behavior. Furthermore, the real-world applicability of the single-track model has been confirmed, ensuring a high level of safety and comfort for users.

As the complexity of video games continues to evolve, so does the importance of effective game testing methodologies. To this end, automated game testing has emerged as a pivotal approach to ensure the quality and functionality of modern games. The objective of the present paper is to identify, through a literature review and the application of Open and Axial coding, the most commonly analysed and mentioned issues in automated game testing literature. The results of the study provide a taxonomy of 26 different issues that are assessed in the software engineering literature by automated game testing practice, grouped in five higher-level categories. The elicited taxonomy can serve as an instrument for game testers, researchers and tool developers to evaluate testing approaches and techniques, enable comparability of research results, and design instruments to investigate functional aspects of games in development.

In order to address the issue of low segmentation accuracy in the weak flame region of waste incineration flame images and the potential loss of texture details at the flame edge, this study proposes an algorithm for segmenting incinerator flame images based on multi-step image enhancement. The algorithm consists of several steps. Firstly, a single-scale Retinex algorithm is employed to enhance the details of the noise-reduced image. Subsequently, an adaptive gamma correction method based on the inverse color transform is proposed to enhance the contrast between the image foreground and background, in conjunction with the inverse color transform algorithm. Finally, a 2D-Otsu algorithm is utilized to segment the image and extract the target flame region. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed incinerator flame image segmentation algorithm based on multi-step image enhancement achieves superior segmentation performance, effectively preserving more detailed information in the weak flame region.

Mitigating the risks posed by Random Hardware Failures (RHFs) is crucial to prevent data corruption and control Flow Errors (CFEs) in embedded systems. This paper addresses these concerns through the application of Software-Implemented Hardware Fault Tolerance (SIHFT) methods, emphasizing compatibility with high-level programming languages such as C. Current SIHFT methods, often implemented in low-level Assembly, present challenges in terms of overhead to code size and real-time execution. Our proposed approach focuses on pre-compilation application of SIHFT methods, specifically control Flow Checking (CFC), to identify CFEs within C-language-based code. We conducted a comparative analysis of two established software-based CFE detection methods in C, seamlessly integrating CFC methods into the application behavioral model. Our methodology ensures ISO26262 compliance, crucial for the automotive sector, offering a software-only strategy that aligns with safety and cost considerations.
