Marginal quality‐based long‐term incentive mechanisms for crowd sensing

Crowd sensing is a new paradigm that leverages pervasive sensor‐equipped mobile devices to provide sensing services like forensic analysis, documenting public spaces, and collaboratively constructing statistical models. Extensive user participation is indispensable for achieving good service quality. Nowadays, most of existing mechanisms focus on guaranteeing good service quality based on instantaneous extensive user participation for crowd sensing applications. Little attention has been dedicated to maximizing long‐term service quality for crowd sensing applications due to their heterogeneous interests, preferences, selfish behaviors, and so on. To fill these gaps, a closed‐form expression of the marginal sensing data quality based on the monopoly aggregation in economics is derived in this paper. Furthermore, we design marginal quality‐based incentive mechanisms for long‐term crowd sensing applications not only to enhance extensive user participation by maximizing the expected total profits of mobile users but also to stimulate mobile users to produce high‐quality contents by applying the marginal quality. Finally, simulation results show that our mechanisms outperform the existing solutions. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Influence of staff number and internal constellation on surgical site infection in an operating room

Prediction of bacteria-carrying particle (BCP) dispersion and particle distribution released from staff members in an operating room (OR) is very important for creating and sustaining a safe indoor environment. Postoperative wound infections cause significant morbidity and mortality, and contribute to increased hospitalization time. Increasing the number of personnel within the OR disrupts the ventilation airflow pattern and causes enhanced contamination risk in the area of an open wound. Whether the amount of staff within the OR influences the BCP distribution in the surgical zone has rarely been investigated. This study was conducted to explore the influence of the number of personnel in the OR on the airflow field and the BCP distribution. This was performed by applying a numerical calculation to map the airflow field and Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) for the BCP phase. The results are reported both for active sampling and passive monitoring approaches. Not surprisingly, a growing trend in the BCP concentration (cfu/m³) was observed as the amount of staff in the OR increased. Passive sampling shows unpredictable results due to the sedimentation rate, especially for small particles (5–10 μm). Risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) must be well understood to develop more effective prevention programs.     

Study on AdaBoost-based link quality prediction mechanism

The link quality was vulnerable to the complexity environment in wireless sensor network.Obtaining link quality information in advance could reduce energy consumption of nodes.After analyzing the existing link quality prediction methods,AdaBoost-based link quality prediction mechanism was put forward.Link quality samples in deferent scenarios were collected.Density-based unsupervised clustering algorithm was employed to classify training samples into deferent link quality levels.The AdaBoost with SVM-based component classifiers was adopted to build link quality prediction mechanism.Experimental results show that the proposed mechanism has better prediction precision.

Simultaneous 2D and 3D perception for stereoscopic displays based on polarized or active shutter glasses

Viewing stereoscopic 3D content is typically enabled either by using polarizing or active shutter glasses. In certain cases, some viewers may not wear viewing glasses and hence, it would be desirable to tune the stereoscopic 3D content so that it could be simultaneously watched with and without viewing glasses. In this paper we propose a video post-processing technique which enables good quality 3D and 2D perception of the same content. This is done through manipulation of one view by making it more similar to the other view to reduce the ghosting artifact perceived without viewing glasses while 3D perception is maintained. The proposed technique includes three steps: disparity selection, contrast adjustment, and low-pass filtering. The proposed approach was evaluated through an extensive series of subjective tests, which also revealed good adjustment parameters to suit viewing with and without viewing glasses with an acceptable 3D and 2D quality, respectively.     

Adaptive multimedia streaming using a simulation test bed

The major purpose of this paper is to transmit an existing video above a complete simulated video streaming architecture based on Network Simulator (NS2). Thanks to our architecture, the visual quality evaluation of the distributed streaming platform under various conditions is simplified. Indeed, the received video can be easily visualized using a classic video client or be compared using the Peak Signal-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value and the Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) value. In the case study, we compare adaptive video congestion strategies using a transcoder, Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) and TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC).

No reference image blurriness assessment with local binary patterns

In this paper, we put forward an effective and efficient no reference image blurriness assessment metric on the basis of local binary pattern (LBP) features. In this proposal, we reveal that part of the LBP histogram bins present monotonously with the degree of blurriness. The proposed method contains the following steps. Firstly, the LBP maps of an input image are extracted with multiple radiuses. And then, the frequency of pattern histogram is analyzed before part of bins are chosen as the features. In addition, we also take the entropy of these bins as another feature. Finally, we learn the extracted features to predict the image blurriness score. Validation of the proposed method is conducted on the blurred images of LIVE-II, CSIQ, TID2008, TID2013, LIVE3D IQA Phase I and LIVE3D IQA Phase II. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with the state-of-the-art image quality assessment (IQA) methods, the proposed algorithm has notable advantage in correlation with subjective perception and computational complexity.     

高速公路PPP项目股权结构、质量水平与VFM的关系研究

高速公路PPP项目属于具有经营收益的准经营性项目,政府制定有效的激励措施,可以鼓励项目公司发挥专业的建设和运营能力,提高项目质量和收益水平。本文以VFM作为政府绩效评价指标,通过构建完全信息静态博弈模型,研究了PPP项目股权结构、质量水平与VFM之间的关系,结果发现:虽然社会资本较多持有项目公司股份有助于提高VFM水平,但随着社会资本方股权比例的增加,项目质量水平在不断降低,所以政府应该将社会资本方的持股比例控制在一定范围内,在保证项目质量的同时达到VFM最大化,从而降低政府方风险,提高社会效益。在高速公路PPP项目中,政府应优化股权决策,激励项目公司改善项目质量和水平,为公私双方带来良好的绩效水平。
