An electronic nose system had been developed by using 16 quartz resonator sensitive membranesbasic resonance frequencies 20 MHz as a sensor, and analyzed the measurement data through various neural network as a pattern recognition system. The developed system showed high recognition probability to discriminate various single odors even mixture odor to its high generality properties;however the system still need improvement. In order to improve the performance of the proposed system, development of the sensor and other neural network are being sought. This paper explains the improvement of the capability of that system from the point of neural network system. It has been proved from our previos work that FLVQ (Fuzzy Learning Vectoq Quantization) which is LVQ (Learning Vector Quantization) together with fuzzy theory shows high recognition capability compared with other neural networks, however FLVQ have a weakness for selecting the best codebook vector that will influence the result of recognition. This problem will be anticipated by adding the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) method to select the best codebook vector. Then experiment showt that the new recognition system (FLVQ-PSO) has produced higher capability compared to the earlier mentioned system.

Concepts for solar power from space have received renewed attention over the past year. High costs for fossil fuel during most of 2007 and 2008 have contributed to increasing the interest not only in traditional renewable energy sources but also in options usually considered as rather "exotic". Solar power from space is one of these. Given the potential size of such an endeavour, it is particularly important to demonstrate its feasibility and convince energy sector representatives and critics via concrete demonstrator projects targeting key technologies. The construction of a light-weight, very large structure as needed for transmitting antennas and the demonstration of wireless power transmission over very large distances are two of these key technologies. The present paper presents two experiments Furoshiki-2 and Suaineadh addressing these key technologies.

We present a new design method for robust low-delay coding of auto-regressive (AR) sources for transmission across erasure channels. The method is based on Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) with Kalman estimation at the decoder. The method designs the encoder and decoder offline through an iterative algorithm based on minimization of the trace of the decoder state error covariance. The design method applies to stationary AR sources of any order. Simulation results show considerable performance gains, when the transmitted quantized prediction errors are subject to loss, in terms of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to the same coding framework optimized for no loss. We furthermore investigate the impact on decoding performance when channel losses are correlated. We find that the method still provides substantial improvements in this case despite being designed for i.i.d. losses.

The increasing popularity of user-generated content (UGC) requires effective annotation techniques in order to facilitate precise content search and retrieval. In this paper, we propose a new approach for the semantic annotation of personal video content, taking advantage of user-contributed tags available in an image folksonomy. Video shots and folksonomy images are first represented by a semantic vector. Next, the semantic vectors are used to measure the semantic similarity between each video shot and the folksonomy images. Tags assigned to semantically similar folksonomy images are then used to annotate the video shots. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed annotation method, experiments were performed with video sequences retrieved from YouTube and images downloaded from Flickr. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to successfully annotate personal video content with user-contributed tags retrieved from an image folksonomy. In addition, the size of our tag vocabulary is significantly higher than the size of the tag vocabulary used by conventional annotation methods.

In a Mobile Living Lab, mobile devices are used to evaluate concepts and prototypes in real-life settings. In other words, the lab is brought to the people. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to share experiences and issues with methods and tools for Mobile Living Labs. In particular, we seek to bring together people who have applied methods for Mobile Living Labs and people who build tools for those methods. The aim of the workshop is twofold. First, to make an up-to-date overview of current methods and tools for conducting user studies in Mobile Living Labs - highlighting their individual strengths and weaknesses. Second, to uncover challenges that are not adequately addressed by current methods and tools and to come up with ideas and requirements that could fill this gap thus serving as beacons for further research and development in this area.

Image segmentation is a technique that partitioned the input image into prerequisite semantic unique regions. Segmentation should stop as object of interest in an application is isolated. The ultimate goal is to make the image more simplified one and that to get more meaningful to analyze. Number of segmentation techniques are available but none of them satisfy the global properties and thus remain challenge for researcher. Many computer applications like object recognition, automatic pictorial pattern recognition, automatic traffic control are based on this analysis. As per need of an application segmentation techniques can be selected. This survey addressed various segmentation techniques, discussed fundamental methodologies, and issues related with specific techniques. It discussed its limitations and probable solution to recover it. It also includes discussion on segmentation technique based on graph partitioning which would be helpful to add intelligence for prediction. Concept of ontology is introduced in short as technical bridge in between segmentation and image prediction.
