Psychophysical response to electrocutaneous stimulation.
1984
A method is presented to determine a reliable stimulus-sensation relationship particularly suitable for electrocutaneous stimulation. An experimental intensity-discrimination curve was obtained through simple psychophysical comparison tasks, and sensory response was inferred from integration of a JND's density function. The psychophysical response resembles a power law, although departures cannot be described in terms of a unique exponent. An estimate of binary information capacity per electrode is also given as a feature of a stimulation procedure that preserves a low value of the size-intensity product.
Anomaly‐based intrusion detection systems: The requirements, methods, measurements, and datasets
2021
International audience; With the Internet's unprecedented growth and nations' reliance on computer networks, new cyber‐attacks are created every day as means for achieving financial gain, imposing political agendas, and developing cyberwarfare arsenals. Network security is thus acquiring increasing attention among researchers, practitioners, network architects, policy makers, and others. To defend organizations' networks from existing, foreseen, and future threats, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are becoming a must. Existing surveys on anomaly‐based IDS (AIDS) focus on specific components such as detection mechanisms and lack many others. In contrast to existing surveys, this article co…
Use of the software ‘Poser4’ in reconstruction of accident and crime scenes
2000
The reconstruction of accident and crime scenes demands the full attention of the forensic working physician. Description by words is often difficult and liable to be misunderstood. Reconstruction in the original places of events are expensive and in some cases impossible. Computer graphics and animations give the possibility to construct the original course of events. Poser4 is a software package to perform these reconstructions in an easy and vivid way. We investigated the possibilities of reconstructing an accident with this software.
Facial animation by reverse morphing on a sequence of real images: application to film and video production
2000
Research on facial animation is as vast as the many interests and needs that can be found in the general public, television or film production. For Mac Guff Ligne, a company specialized in the fabrication of special effects and computer generated images, the needs and the constraints on such a topic are very big. Morphing is often used in facial animation, and consists in mixing several expression models. As we will discover, the advantages in using morphing are numerous, but the animation workload remains long and time-consuming. Our goal is to propose a fast and reliable animation tool that is based on the same morphing technique with which the graphic artists are familiar. Our method is …
Further Results on Modeling, Analysis, and Control Synthesis for Offshore Wind Turbine Systems
2014
Renewable energy is a hot topic all over the world. Nowadays, there are several sustainable renewable power solutions out there; hydro, wind, solar, wave, and biomass to name a few. Most countries have a tendency to want to become greener. In the past, all new wind parks were installed onshore. During the last decade, more and more wind parks were installed offshore, in shallow water. This chapter investigates a comparative study on the modeling, analysis, and control synthesis for the offshore wind turbine systems. More specifically, an \( {\mathcal{H}}_{\infty } \) static output-feedback control design with constrained information is designed. Constrained information indicates that a rema…
Simplified model of mean double step (MDS) in human body movement
2012
In this paper we present a simplified and useful model of the human body movement based on the full gait cycle description, called the Mean Double Step (MDS). It enables the parameterization and simplification of the human movement. Furthermore it allows a description of the gait cycle by providing standardized estimators to transform the gait cycle into a periodical movement process. Moreover the method of simplifying the MDS model and its compression are demonstrated. The simplification is achieved by reducing the number of bars of the spectrum and I or by reducing the number of samples describing the MDS both in terms of reducing their computational burden and their resources for the dat…
Introducing the Concept of Hyperactivity in Multi Agent Systems
2013
International audience; Software Agents are no longer the simple communication gateways for devices to interconnect using one or more networks. With Multi Agent Systems contributing in a wide spectrum of intelligent systems, the Agents are in a more proactive role than just being responsible for passing messages between their respective base systems. Agent Relation Charts and the Hyperactive Transaction Model in general is one of the recent attempts of developing a multi-view design model for Multi Agent Systems. The model has made a clear distinction in the regular and intelligent activities of an agent. Based on these differences, the agents are classified into three main categories named…
D Sensor-Based Obstacle Detection Comparing Octrees and Point clouds Using CUDA
2012
This paper presents adaptable methods for achieving fast collision detection using the GPU and Nvidia CUDA together with Octrees. Earlier related work have focused on serial methods, while this paper presents a parallel solution which shows that there is a great increase in time if the number of operations is large. Two dierent models of the environment and the industrial robot are presented, the rst is Octrees at dierent resolutions, the second is a point cloud representation. The relative merits of the two dierent world model representations are shown. In particular, the experimental results show the potential of adapting the resolution of the robot and environment models to the task at h…
123D Catch: efficiency, accuracy, constraints and limitations in architectural heritage field
2013
Today, the accurate and detailed reconstruction of geometric models of real objects has become a common process. The diffusion of Image-based 3D modeling techniques, through image-based free, low cost and open source software, have increased drastically in the past few years, especially in the sector of Cultural Heritage (Architecture, Archeology, Urban planning). Nevertheless, web based software (ARC3D, 123D Catch, Hyp3D, my3Dscanner) offer another opportunity respect the desktop systems: they use the power of cloud computing to carry out a semi-automatic data processing. In this way is overcome the considerably slowing-down of the computer of hardware-heavy approaches. Our research inves…
Channel Occupancy-Based Dynamic Spectrum Leasing in Multichannel CRNs: Strategies and Performance Evaluation
2016
Spectrum leasing has been proposed as an effective approach for enabling more flexible spectrum utilization in CRNs. In CRNs, a primary network (PN) which consists of multiple primary users (PUs) can lease part of the licensed spectrum to secondary users (SUs) in exchange for operational benefits. The focus of this study is to investigate how and to what extent the PN allows spectrum leasing in CRNs, considering the QoS requirements of the PN and the secondary network (SN). Correspondingly, we propose two dynamic spectrum leasing strategies, which can improve the QoS performance of SUs while ensuring sufficient remuneration for PUs. In order to dynamically adjust the portion of leased bandw…
