Simulated annealing with improved reheating and learning for the post enrolment course timetabling problem (2018)
Journal Article

In this paper, we utilise a two-stage approach for addressing the post enrolment course timetabling (PE-CTT) problem. We attempt to find a feasible solution in the first stage. The solution is further improved in terms of soft constraint violations i...

A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on dynamic boundary search for constrained optimization (2018)
Journal Article

Due to increased search complexity in multi-objective optimization, premature convergence becomes a problem. Complex engineering problems poses high number of variables with many constraints. Hence, more difficult benchmark problems must be utilized... Read More about A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on dynamic boundary search for constrained optimization.

Super-FAN: integrated facial landmark localization and super-resolution of real-world low resolution faces in arbitrary poses with GANs (2018)
Conference Proceeding

This paper addresses 2 challenging tasks: improving the quality of low resolution facial images and accurately locating the facial landmarks on such poor resolution images. To this end, we make the following 5 contributions: (a) we propose Super-FAN:...

Comparison of fuzzy integral-fuzzy measure based ensemble algorithms with the state-of-the-art ensemble algorithms (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The Fuzzy Integral (FI) is a non-linear aggregation operator which enables the fusion of information from multiple sources in respect to a Fuzzy Measure (FM) which captures the worth of both the individual sources and all their possible combinations....

An assessment of the precise products on static Precise Point Positioning using Multi-Constellation GNSS (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Precise point positioning (PPP) is highly dependent on the precise ephemerides and satellite clock products that are used. Different ephemeris and clock products are available from a variety of different organizations. The aim of this paper is to ass...

Human behaviour-based automatic depression analysis using hand-crafted statistics and deep learned spectral features (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Depression is a serious mental disorder that affects millions of people all over the world. Traditional clinical diagnosis methods are subjective, complicated and need extensive participation of experts. Audio-visual automatic depression analysis sys...

A tripartite filter design for seamless pedestrian navigation using recursive 2-means clustering and Tukey update (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Mobile devices are desired to guide users seamlessly to diverse destinations indoors and outdoors. The positioning fixing subsystems often provide poor quality measurements with gaps in an urban environment. No single position fixing technology works...

GNSS-based Location Determination System Architecture for railway performance assessment in presence of local effects (2018)
Conference Proceeding

GNSS plays a strategic role on the introduction of the Virtual Balise functionality and the train integrity. Thanks to GNSS, it could be possible to realize cost effective solutions to increase the safety in the regional lines, where the traffic dens...

Multi-Frequency Precise Point Positioning using GPS and Galileo data with smoothed ionospheric corrections (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The poor signal visibility and continuity associated with urban environments together with the slow convergence/reconvergence time of Precise Point Positioning (PPP), usually makes PPP unsuitable for land navigation in cities. However, results based... Read More about Multi-Frequency Precise Point Positioning using GPS and Galileo data with smoothed ionospheric corrections.
