Multimodal Images Classification using Dense SURF, Spectral Information and Support Vector Machine
2019
International audience; The multimodal image classification is a challenging area of image processing which can be used to examine the wall painting in the cultural heritage domain. In such classification, a common space of representation is important. In this paper, we present a new method for multimodal representation learning, by using a pixel-wise feature descriptor named dense Speed Up Robust Features (SURF) combined with the spectral information carried by the pixel. For classification of extracted features we have used support vector machine (SVM). Our database was extracted from acquisition on cultural heritage wall paintings that contain four modalities UV, Visible, IRR and fluores…
Fuzzy Logic Based Security Trust Evaluation for IoT Environments
2019
In the new technological era called the Internet of Things (IoT), people, machines and objects communicate with each other via the Internet by exchanging information. In this context, trust plays an important role and is considered as a key factor in the success of the IoT services expansion. IoT services and applications use in some cases data concerning the privacy of their users. Consequently, users should trust the entities exchanging their personal information. In this paper, we present a framework that evaluates the security trust level of IoT nodes based on a Fuzzy Logic model using different input parameters such as Device Physical Security, Device Security Level and Device Ownershi…
Towards a Hierarchical Multitask Classification Framework for Cultural Heritage
2018
Digital technologies such as 3D imaging, data analytics and computer vision opened the door to a large set of applications in cultural heritage. Digital acquisition of a cultural assets takes nowadays a couple of seconds thanks to the achievements in 2D and 3D acquisition technologies. However, enriching these cultural assets with labels and relevant metadata is still not fully automatized especially due to their nature and specificities. With the recent publication of several cultural heritage datasets, many researchers are tackling the challenge of effectively classifying and annotating digital heritage. The challenges that are often addressed are related to visual recognition and image c…
Efficient cluster-based routing algorithm for body sensor networks
2018
International audience; Body Sensor Networks have gained a lot of research interest lately for the variety of applications they can serve. In such networks where nodes might hold critical information about people's lives, designing efficient routing schemes is very important to guarantee data delivery with the lowest delay and energy consumption. Even though some cluster-based routing schemes were proposed in the literature, none of them offer a complete solution that guarantees energy and delay efficient routing in BSN. In this paper, we propose a robust cluster- based algorithm that increases the routing efficiency through every step of the routing process: cluster formation, cluster head…
A Restricted-Weakly Connected Dominating Set for Role Assignment in a Multichannel MAC for Wireless Mesh Network
2009
International audience; We propose an efficient way of constructing the wireless mesh structure associated with Molecular MAC, a multichannel access method designed for efficient packet forwarding. We base our role assignment on a restricted Weakly Connected Dominating Set structure. After presenting a formal definition of the role assignment problem, we prove its NP-completeness. Then, we propose a centralized 2-approximation algorithm that maximizes the sum of radio link capacities in the molecular structure. Finally, we extend this protocol so that it can operate in a distributed way still providing the same guarantee. This distributed protocol is self-stabilizing thus robust to topology…
Nonnegative Tensor Train Decompositions for Multi-domain Feature Extraction and Clustering
2016
Tensor train (TT) is one of the modern tensor decomposition models for low-rank approximation of high-order tensors. For nonnegative multiway array data analysis, we propose a nonnegative TT (NTT) decomposition algorithm for the NTT model and a hybrid model called the NTT-Tucker model. By employing the hierarchical alternating least squares approach, each fiber vector of core tensors is optimized efficiently at each iteration. We compared the performances of the proposed method with a standard nonnegative Tucker decomposition (NTD) algorithm by using benchmark data sets including event-related potential data and facial image data in multi-domain feature extraction and clustering tasks. It i…
The Impact of Human Walking on the Time-Frequency Distribution of In-Home Radio Channels
2018
Passive activity recognition of home occupants has become a very hot topic in the area of radio communications, as it enables the development of cutting-edge healthcare monitoring solutions. Thanks to ubiquitous radio waves, such as WiFi signals, at today's homes, one can process radio waves reflected off a person's body for identifying certain mobility patterns. This new approach ignores the need for any wearable sensors. This paper reports a challenging indoor radio channel measurement campaign at 5.9 GHz, which has been conducted to study the impact of walking persons on the temporal and spectral properties of the channel. In particular, the time-frequency distribution of the channel has…
Enhancing the Resolution of the Spectrogram of Non-Stationary Mobile Radio Channels by Using Massive MIMO Techniques
2017
This paper is concerned with the enhancement of the resolution of the spectrogram of non-stationary mobile radio channels using massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques. By starting from a new generic geometrical model for a non-stationary MIMO channel, we derive the complex MIMO channel gains under the assumption that the mobile station (MS) moves with time-variant speed. Closed-form solutions are derived for the spectrogram of the complex MIMO channel gains by using a Gaussian window. It is shown that the window spread can be optimized subject to the MS's speed change. Furthermore, it is shown that the spectrogram can be split into an auto-term and a cross-term. The auto-t…
Experimental validation for spectrum cartography using adaptive multi-kernels
2017
This paper validates the functionality of an algorithm for spectrum cartography, generating a radio environment map (REM) using adaptive radial basis functions (RBF) based on a limited number of measurements. The power at all locations is estimated as a linear combination of different RBFs without assuming any prior information about either power spectral densities (PSD) of the transmitters or their locations. The RBFs are represented as centroids at optimized locations, using machine learning to jointly optimize their positions, weights and Gaussian decaying parameters. Optimization is performed using expectation maximization with a least squares loss function and a quadratic regularizer. …
Group Nonnegative Matrix Factorization with Sparse Regularization in Multi-set Data
2021
Constrained joint analysis of data from multiple sources has received widespread attention for that it allows us to explore potential connections and extract meaningful hidden components. In this paper, we formulate a flexible joint source separation model termed as group nonnegative matrix factorization with sparse regularization (GNMF-SR), which aims to jointly analyze the partially coupled multi-set data. In the GNMF-SR model, common and individual patterns of particular underlying factors can be extracted simultaneously with imposing nonnegative constraint and sparse penalty. Alternating optimization and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) are combined to solve the GNMF-S…
