Multi-sensor data fusion method for water quality evaluation based on interval evidence theory by Jian ZHOU, Chen-hao MA, Lin-feng LIU, Li-juan SUN, Fu XIAO

“…For the inevitable uncertainty and random uncertainty in the process of measuring water quality data with the sensor network,a multi-sensor data fusion method for water quality evaluation based on interval evidence theory was proposed.Considering the precision error of sensor and the abnormalities of measured data,every water quality data measured by sensor was represented by interval number.By calculating the distance between the water quality data and the features of each water quality class,the interval evidence of water quality class was acquired.According to the interval evidence combining rule,a comprehensive interval evidence was obtained by combining the interval evidence of each sensor.Finally,the water quality class was determined based on the comprehensive interval evidence by the decision rule.Experiments show that the proposed method can evaluate water quality class more accurately from the uncertain water quality data.…”

Content-aware image resizing based on random-carving with probability by Ying-chun GUO, Jun-teng HOU, Ming YU, Rui-li WANG

“…To improve the running speed of image resizing,a fast content-aware image resizing algorithm was proposed based on the threshold learning and random-carving with probability.Firstly the important map was calculated by combining the graph-based visual saliency map and gradient map.Then the image threshold value was obtained by radial basis function (RBF) neural network learning.And by the threshold,the original image was separated into the protected part and the unprotected part which was corresponding to the important part and the unimportant part of the original image individually.Finally,the two parts were allocated different resizing scales and the random-carving with probability was applied to them respectively.Experiments results show that the proposed algorithm has lower time cost comparing to the state-of-arts algorithms in MSRA image database,and has a better visual perception on image resizing.…”

Improvement of identity adaptive recognition algorithm in visual sensor network by Na LI, Xiaoning ZHANG, Fang’e ZHU

“…When recognizing the identity in visual sensor network，it’s easily to be interfered with facial expression，illumination condition and shelter，so as to reduce the recognition accuracy.An identity adaptive recognition algorithm based on the improved minimum gray difference tree in visual sensor network was put forward.After gray processing，the minimum gray difference was used to enhance the quality of the image；cost function based on gray level was defined，the match price of each corresponding pair of gray of the image to be recognized and the specified face image were achieved，minimum gray difference tree model was set up，after two image similarity were calculated，the nearest neighbor matching algorithm was directly applied to obtain the image identity corresponding to minimum matching cost in the visual sensor network registration gallery，it was viewed as the identity to be recognized，the adaptive identity recognition was achieved in visual sensor network.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has high identification accuracy.…”

SDN self-protection system based on Renyi entropy by Pu ZHAO, Wentao ZHAO, Zhangjie FU, Qiang LIU

“…Aiming at the abnormal behaviors in SDN architecture, a self-protection system based on Renyi entropy that implemented a set of detection, diagnosis and defense method of SDN abnormal behaviors was proposed.The system did not need to introduce the third-party measurement equipment, and directly used the flow table information of OpenFlow switches.Firstly, the abnormal network behavior was detected by calculating the characteristic entropy.Then, the information of the OpenFlow flow table was further analyzed to realize the diagnosis of abnormal behavior.Finally, a blacklist mechanism was established.And the system added the hosts with abnormal behavior to the blacklist and blocked the corresponding abnormal traffic.In order to verify the effectiveness of the system, a prototype was developed on the Floodlight controller.The simulation results on Mininet show that the system can effectively detect, diagnose and defend the abnormal behaviors.The system has low deployment cost, which enhances the security of SDN.…”

Software-defined cross-domain scheduling mechanism for time-sensitive networking by Shuo WANG, Yudong HUANG, Tao HUANG, Ru HUO, Yunjie LIU

“…For the cross domain scheduling problem of time-sensitive network, a software-defined cross-domain scheduling mechanism for time-sensitive networking was proposed, which was based on three kinds of wide area clock synchronization technology to ensure nanosecond inter-domain time synchronization.Then, a time slot conflict-free cross domain scheduling model was proposed to solve the problem of time slot alignment caused by inter-domain link delay.The time slot conflict-free constraints were used to strictly limit the arrival time of cross-domain traffic at the edge node.Finally, the gate control list of fusion domains for global scheduling was calculated online.The simulation results show that the model can schedule hundreds of time-sensitive traffic in a typical cross-domain remote control scenario, and has a feasible algorithm execution time in seconds.…”
