AMALGAMATION OF BUSINESS INT ELL IGENCE WITH ENT ERPRISE RESOURCEPLANN ING SYSTEMS FOR IND USTRY 4.0

Businesses today are incredibly data rich, and dealing with large amount of data, so making some inferences andconclusions, depending on the organisation size and complexity of its processes, it has been a challenge, especially that thenext...

Natural Language Processing for Policymaking

Abstract Language is the medium for many political activities, from campaigns to news reports. Natural language processing (NLP) uses computational tools to parse text into key information that is needed for policymaking. In this chapter, w...

Different hybrid machine intelligence techniques for handling IoT‐based imbalanced data

Abstract In the era of automatic task processing or designing complex algorithms, to analyse data, it is always pertinent to find real‐life solutions using cutting‐edge tools and techniques to generate insights into the data. The data‐drive...

National Leaders’ Usage of Twitter in Response to COVID-19: A Sentiment Analysis

Twitter is a powerful tool for world leaders to disseminate public health information and to reach citizens. While Twitter, like other platforms, affords world leaders the opportunity to rapidly present information to citizens, the discours...

Explainable Sentiment-Based Reputational Risk Modelling in Ugandan Megaprojects

Reputational risk reflected in digital public discourse can significantly influence stakeholder perceptions, public trust, and decision-making surrounding government megaprojects. Existing computational approaches primarily focus on sentime...

An image based application in Matlab for automated modelling and morphological analysis of insect wings

Abstract Despite extensive research on the biomechanics of insect wings over the past years, direct mechanical measurements on sensitive wing specimens remain very challenging. This is especially true for examining delicate museum specimens...

AN EXTRACTION OF KEY VARIABLESFOR LONG-TERM TRENDS USING A MODIFIEDCROSS-IMPACT MATRIX

The traditional approach to forecasting lies in the assumption that, byapplying a set of powerful analytic tools, the future could be predictedaccurately enough to choose an appropriate strategic direction for it. Theprocess often involves ...

Computer Vision Tools for 3D Modelling in Archaeology

In archaeological Cultural Heritage study 3D modelling has become a very useful process to obtain indispensable data for documentation and visualization. Nowadays the continuous request to achieve photorealistic 3D models has led to testing...

Calibration and Orientation of Cameras in Computer Vision

One of my greatest hates is the edited book with chapters from a number of different authors, some of which have evidently been written in haste against the final deadline, and most of which show marked divergence of content, opinion, notat...

Problems In Indoor Mapping and Modelling

Research in support of indoor mapping and modelling (IMM) has been active for over thirty years. This research has come in the form of As-Built surveys, Data structuring, Visualisation techniques, Navigation models and so forth. Much of thi...

A Wilson–Cowan reservoir computer for interpretable spatiotemporal vision

Abstract We present a Wilson–Cowan reservoir computer (WC–RC) that treats a retinotopic excitatory–inhibitory neural field as a structured reservoir. Travelling waves and bounded oscillations provide an interpretable spatiotemporal basis, w...

Machine Vision and Canny Edge Detector–Based Printing Image Detection and Recognition Model

Traditional image detection and recognition models face issues such as high miss detection rates, low classification accuracy, and poor real-time performance when dealing with complex printing images, including defects and flaws. To address...

Generalized Vision-Based Detection, Identification and Pose Estimation of Lamps for BIM Integration

This paper introduces a comprehensive approach based on computer vision for the automatic detection, identification and pose estimation of lamps in a building using the image and location data from low-cost sensors, allowing the incorporati...

A SMARTPHONE-BASED 3D PIPELINE FOR THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY – THE REPLICATE EU PROJECT

During the last two decades we have witnessed great improvements in ICT hardware and software technologies. Three-dimensional content is starting to become commonplace now in many applications. Although for many years 3D technologies have b...

Computer Vision: A First Course

Computer vision is a new discipline recently developed from image processing, which is able to take raw images, and, after suitable processing, derive information from them automatically. Computer vision applications are legion in the areas...

Generalizable stereo depth estimation with masked image modelling

Abstract Generalizable and accurate stereo depth estimation is vital for 3D reconstruction, especially in surgery. Supervised learning methods obtain best performance however, limited ground truth data for surgical scenes limits generalizab...

Validation of Infinite Impulse Response Multilayer Perceptron for Modelling Nuclear Dynamics

Artificial neural networks are powerful algorithms for constructing nonlinear empirical models from operational data. Their use is becoming increasingly popular in the complex modeling tasks required by diagnostic, safety, and control appli...
