This study proposes a novel framework and workflow, termed Object-Oriented Evolutionary Estimating (O2E2), for integrating cost estimation with Building Information Modelling (BIM). An inductive approach to theory, informed ...

This paper describes the methodology for identifying a moving object by a fast dyadic image downscaling combined with a neural network (a multi layer perceptron). Given a sequence of images here we basically try to detect ...

The lack of realistic haptic feedback has become a significant barrier to achieve realization in virtual reality. If an object is to be reproduced in the haptic dimension, it's essential to analyze the object behavior for ...

Cloud storage facilities are now predominantly used to store outgrowing data. Information availability, improved performance and the trustworthiness are the key factors that the data owners mainly focus on, in storing data ...

Sri Lanka ports authority and many other organizations are increasingly interested in the use of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) for harbor security and surveillance applications. USVs can be used to collect information, ...

Over the past three decades research on energy use in buildings has become significant due to increasing scientific and political pressure on issues concerning global warming and climate change. As part of the impact by ...

The magnetization characteristics of installed transformers are quite often unknown, or different from those documented due to ageing. Further, a precise method of modelling the nonlinear flux-curve of a transformer is a ...

Under this research Smart energy efficient and visual comfort lighting system has been developed based on the presence of occupancy and occupancy localization information. The developed system consist of non-contact occupancy ...

Occupant productivity is gaining momentum in the field of sustainable built environment. Humans spend most of their time indoors, and the majority of the world’s population lives in urban areas and work in an office ...

Occupant behavior in residential buildings has a direct impact on the effectiveness of energy-saving measures. In order to realize a buildings’ carbon mitigation targets, the impact of individual occupancy profiles needs ...
