    In ad-hoc network such as inter-vehicle communication (IVC) system, safety applications that vehicles broadcast the information such as car velocity, position and so on periodically are considered. In these applications, if there are many vehicles broadcast data in a communication area, congestion incurs a problem decreasing communication reliability. We propose autonomous distributed transmit power control method to keep high communication reliability. In this method, each vehicle controls its transmit power using feed back control. Furthermore, we design a communication protocol to realize the proposed method, and we evaluate the effectiveness of proposed method using computer simulation.

    We propose a general prediction method based on the efficient computation and online update of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of historical data. The SVD is fundamental to many data modeling algorithms, but the traditional methods for computing it require large computational costs. By adopting a fast sequential SVD updating scheme, the tasks of prediction, imputation of missing values, and model updating can be performed very quickly. In this paper, an application of our method to route travel time prediction is described. Using real travel time data from short sections (links) on expressway, we evaluated prediction performance of travel time on longer section (route) including the links. Experimental comparisons with several statistical machine learning methods suggest that our linear prediction method can achieve similar prediction performance (prediction error) to other nonlinear methods at less computaional cost.

    This paper presents an experimental comparison of several statistical machine learning methods for short-term prediction of travel times on road segments. The comparison includes linear regression, neural networks, regression trees, k-nearest neighbors, and locally-weighted regression, tested on the same historical data. In spite of the expected superiority of non-linear methods over Unear regression, the only non-linear method that could consistently outperform linear regression was locally-weighted regression. This suggests that novel iterative linear regression algorithms should be a preferred prediction methods for large-scale travel time prediction.

    Drones having high resolution cameras and sensors have become more available and cheaper. This makes it possible to use them to take images at close range from directly above, which would normally be very hard to take. We used the images taken by a drone from directly above a plantation to research on how well the types and area the fruit trees and other features occupy can be recognized. We reported the application of the deep learning, specifically semantic segmentation, for the monitor of the land usage, which has high accuracy and outstanding results in recognizing objects in the images. In this paper, classification accuracies are evaluated for the various parameters of image blocks, which are extracted from wide area images and used as training data set for the semantic segmentation.

    Drones having high resolution cameras and sensors have become more available and cheaper. This makes it possible to use them to take images at close range from directly above, which would normally be very hard to take. We used the images taken by a drone from directly above a plantation to research on how well the types and area the fruit trees and other features occupy can be recognized. In this paper, we apply the deep learning, specifically semantic segmentation, for the monitor of the land usage, which is pixel-by-pixel analysis of an image and decides what class each pixel belongs to. That means the fine classification is possible. In this paper, we show how to capture images and what can be realized using such images. Then classification results of the types and area the fruit trees and other features are shown by using semantic segmentation with various image block sizes.

    We have been considering methods to detect transportation modes using sensor data such as GPS, acceleration, and gyroscope data collected from smartphones. Transportation modes include walk, vehicle, bus, train, and bike. In the previous papers, we presented transportation mode detection from acceleration and gyroscope data using machine learning such as decision tree and random forest, and the method for correcting the classification errors by the post processing of the results of machine learning, which leads to the improvement of the accuracy of the detection. In this paper, we consider the application of LSTM (Long Short Term Memory), which can deal with time series data, aiming at replacing the post processing. At this moment, the LSTM cannot attain the performance of the post processing due to many factors such as the setting of many parameters of LSTM, feature values, and so on, which will be the future works.

    In this study, we propose a method for fingerspelling recognition using both color and depth images by using an RGB-D camera and a Multi Modal Convolutional Neural Network (MMCNN) for automatic fingerspelling translation. In the proposed method, two pre-processing steps are performed on the depth image: distance normalization and background removal more than 1 meter from the camera. Experimental results show that the recognition rate of the proposed method outperforms that of the method without preprocessing or with either of the two preprocessing methods.

    Drones having high resolution cameras and sensors have become more available and cheaper. This makes it possible to use them to take images at close range from directly above, which would normally be very hard to take. This characteristics can be applied to many fields such as supervisory and control, management of assets in the wide area, and so on. Recently, different technologies are being used to improve management and increase output in the farming industry, one of these methods is the application of drones. We used the images taken by a drone from directly above a plantation to research on how well the types and area the fruit trees are planted can be classified. In this paper, we applied the deep learning with CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) for the classification, which has high accuracy and outstanding results in recognizing objects in the images.
