ALGORITHM OF PREPARATION OF THE TRAINING SAMPLE USING 3D-FACE MODELING by D. I. Samal, I. I. Frolov

“…The preparation and preliminary processing of images contains the following constituents like detection and localization of area of the person on the image, assessment of an angle of rotation and an inclination, extension of the range of brightness of pixels and an equalization of the histogram to smooth the brightness and contrast characteristics of the processed images, scaling of the localized and processed area of the person, creation of a vector of features of the scaled and processed image of the person by a Principal component analysis (algorithm NIPALS), training of the multiclass SVM-classifier.The provided algorithm of expansion of the training selection is oriented to be used in practice and allows to expand using 3D-models the processed range of 2D – photographs of persons that positively affects results of identification in system of face recognition. …”

Spatial Modeling of Travel Demand Accounting for Multicollinearity and Different Sampling Strategies: A Stop-Level Case Study by Samuel de França Marques, Cira Souza Pitombo, J. Jaime Gómez-Hernández

“…In addition to solve the lack of stop-level ridership data, supporting a reliable bus system planning, the proposed method indicates what predictors should be addressed by policymakers to stimulate a transit-oriented development. The method can be successfully applied to other travel demand variables facing a lack of data such as traffic volume in road segments and mode choice at the household level.…”

Analysis of the rural community behavior in the Area of Electoral Geography (Case study: Varzaqan county) by Aghil Khaleghi, Hossein Karimzadeh, kuomars Khaodapanah

“…Phenomenological results show that the Electoral Behaviors of rural community in Varzaqan county can be analyzed in three main categories: (a) "geographic features" with the themes of "sense of location, neighborhood impact, and localism"; (b) "individual and social" with the themes of "social stimulus and individual stimulus"; and (c) "political" Themes "Engagement Conditions, Affective Role, Political Orientation, and Religion." This behavior is in accordance with the categories of "geographical and political characteristics" with the "rational choice theory", and in terms of "individual and social" with "the pattern of political economy (wise reformed approach)". …”
