Redundancy Model and Boundary Effects Based Coverage-Enhancing Algorithm for 3D Underwater Sensor Networks by Junjie Huang, Lijuan Sun, Xun Wei, Peng Sun, Haiping Huang, Ruchuan Wang

“…Then, it deduces nodes’ redundancy formula based on the sensing model with normal distributed node sensing radius, making node could determine whether itself is a redundant node only based on the number of its neighbour nodes. Furthermore, this paper proposes a redundancy model and boundary effects based coverage-enhancing algorithm for three-dimensional underwater sensor networks (RBCT). …”

Identification of Gallus Domesticus and Joper Chicken Meat Types Using Glcm Combined With K-NN Method by Mila Jumarlis, Mirfan

“…The aim of this study is to develop an information system capable of detecting the type of chicken meat (native or Joper) based on image analysis using the Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) method combined with the K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) algorithm. In this research, 200 training data samples were used to extract color and texture features and perform calculations using five GLCM parameters (energy, entropy, homogeneity, contrast, and correlation) with four texture distribution directions: 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°. …”
