Análise da temperatura de superfície em ambientes urbanos: um estudo por meio de sensoriamento remoto no município de Goiânia, Goiás (2002 – 2011) by Silvio Braz de Sousa, Laerte Guimarães Ferreira

“…Within this scope, the present work, conducted in the city of Goiânia, capital of the state of Goiás, aims to analyze the spatial distribution and patterns of land surface temperatures (LST) for the years 2002 and 2011, using data from the TM and ETM+ sensors (Landsat series). The method used to estimate the LST was evaluated and validated through comparisons between the thermal image, produced using the ETM+ band, and the MOD11A1 product, which presented good correlation (r² of 0.70). …”

Human action recognition method based on multi-view semi-supervised ensemble learning by Shengnan CHEN, Xinmin FAN

“…Mass labeled data are hard to get in mobile devices.Inadequate training leads to bad performance of classifiers in human action recognition.To tackle this problem, a multi-view semi-supervised ensemble learning method was proposed.First, data of two different inertial sensors was used to construct two feature views.Two feature views and two base classifiers were combined to construct co-training framework.Then, the confidence degree was redefined in multi-class task and was combined with active learning method to control predict pseudo-label result in each iteration.Finally, extended training data was used as input to train LightGBM.Experiments show that the method has good performance in precision rate, recall rate and F1 value, which can effectively detect different human action.…”

Mobile crowd sensing coverage and energy optimization in smart coalmine by Chaowei WANG, Ting LIU, Tianyu WANG, Weidong WANG

“…Mobile crowd sensing (MCS) is a promising diagram for the environmental information collection based on the smart mobile terminal.Nowadays,vehicles with multiple embedded sensors are increasingly being considered as participants to complete various sensing tasks.In order to better perceive the data in the coalmine environment,the coverage quality and energy consumption of the perception data of sensing terminals were studied based on MCS.A new sensing coverage quality indicator called utility function F(Ω) jointly considering the coverage percentage and coverage density was defined.The selection of vehicles as an optimization problem to improve the coverage quality was formulated,then an improved greedy algorithm-coverage quality optimization (CQO) algorithm was proposed.The proposed algorithm with the real vehicle trajectory dataset was formulated and several factors influencing the coverage quality were studied.The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a better coverage quality.…”
