Multi-tensor Completion for Estimating Missing Values in Video Data
Many tensor-based data completion methods aim to solve image and video
in-painting problems. But, all methods were only developed for a single
dataset. In most of real applications, we can usually obtain more than one
dataset to reflect one phenomenon, and all the datasets are mutually related in
some sense. Thus one question raised whether such the relationship can improve
the performance of data completion or not? In the paper, we proposed a novel
and efficient method by exploiting the relationship among datasets for
multi-video data completion. Numerical results show that the proposed method
significantly improve the performance of video in-painting, particularly in the
case of very high missing percentage
A Closed-loop Cross-Layer Scheme for Wireless Multiuser Transmissions
AbstractTo improve transmission efficiency of wireless communication systems, cross-layer design is investigated, which can adapt to the dynamically variable wireless channel characters. In this paper, a novel cross-layer design for multi-user system is proposed to improve system performance. The Beamforming-MIMO cross-layer system is scheduled through combining multilevel adaptive modulation (AM) at physical layer with truncated automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol at data link layer, and feed backing modulation mode, ARQ request and transmit weight vector from receiver, in order to improve multi-antennas system performance. This paper derives close-form expressions of the system spectral efficiency and the outage probability for wireless multiuser MIMO transmissions. It shows by simulation that, compared to Alamouti's cross-layer system and SISO cross-layer system, this cross-layer system can achieve better performance. And we analyze the impact of the transmit antenna number and mobile user number on the performance
Building environment assessment methods and social studies of rural villages in Yunnan and urban development in Chongqing City, Southwest China
Recent urbanization processes and corresponding government policies in China have highlighted the need for much greater understanding of sustainable development and the requirements for sustainability in settings that are very different in rural and urban regions. This paper examines practice and knowledge linked to typical vernacular houses constructed since 1950 in Yunnan Province and regional buildings in Chongqing City in Southwest China. Both areas have played crucial roles in contributing to regional architectural design since the beginning of the 20th Century because of the diversity arising from numerous ethnic groups and various climate types and topography features in the region. The study explores how academic and end-user knowledge accumulated and developed, and how this has revealed social, cultural and political influences on how designers and consumers were motivated towards sustainable design over the same time period. It is argued that locally shared knowledge bases should be considered important for informing governmental policies, planning strategy and consumers’ preferences, as well as influencing actions and social acceptance in relation to sustainable development. Furthermore, sustainable design should not be regarded as a contemporary new idea, but one that has its roots in the historical changes in built environment design and practice
An Improved PageRank Method based on Genetic Algorithm for Web Search
AbstractWeb search engine has become a very important tool for finding information efficiently from the massive Web data. Based on PageRank algorithm, a genetic PageRank algorithm (GPRA) is proposed. With the condition of preserving PageRank algorithm advantages, GPRA takes advantage of genetic algorithm so as to solve web search. Experimental results have shown that GPRA is superior to PageRank algorithm and genetic algorithm on performance
