But it is still hardly achievable due to the difficulty to share product knowledge from different designers and systems. In this paper,we firstly create an ontology-based product model,which consists of PPR (Product,Process and Resource) concept models and PPR characteristic models,to describe product knowledge. Afterwards,how to represent the model in XML is discussed in detail. Then the mechanism of product knowledge collection and integration from different application systems based on interface agents is introduced. At last,a web-based open-architecture product knowledge integrating and sharing prototype system AD-HUB is developed. An example is also given and it shows that the theory discussed in this paper is efficient to represent and integrate product knowledge in web-based collaborative design processes.展开更多

In this paper, a novel face recognition algorithm of fusing MBC and CRC named M-CRC is proposed; in which the dimensionality problem is resolved by projection matrix. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on benchmark face databases, including AR, PolyU-NIR and CAS-PEAL. The results indicate a significant increase in the performance when compared with state-of-the-art face recognition methods.展开更多

As a special version and improvement to SRC, collaborative representation based classification (CRC) obtains representation with the contribution from all training samples and produces more promising results on facial image classification. In the solutions of representation coefficients, CRC considers original value of contributions from all samples. However, one prevalent practice in such kind of distance-based methods is to consider only absolute value of the distance rather than both positive and negative values. In this paper, we propose an novel method to improve collaborative representation based classification, which integrates an absolute distance vector into the residuals solved by collaborative representation. And we named it AbsCRC. The key step in AbsCRC method is to use factors a and b as weight to combine CRC residuals rescrc with absolute distance vector disabs and generate a new dviaetion r = a·rescrc b.disabs, which is in turn used to perform classification. Because the two residuals have opposite effect in classification, the method uses a subtraction operation to perform fusion. We conducted extensive experiments to evaluate our method for image classification with different instantiations. The experimental results indicated that it produced a more promising result of classification on both facial and non-facial images than original CRC method.展开更多

These interactions are essential to the development and establishment of technologies. This article seeks to understand the attempts of healthcare organisations to integrate use contexts into the design of healthcare technologies following insights of the theoretical approaches of social learning and user representations. We present a multiple case study of three healthcare technologies involved in improving elderly care practice. These cases were part of a Dutch quality improvement collaborative program, which urged that development of these technologies was not “just” development, but should occur in close collaboration with other parts of the collaborative program, which were more focused on implementation. These cases illustrate different ways to develop technologies in interaction with use contexts and users. Despite the infrastructure of the collaborative program, interactions were not without problems. We conclude by arguing that interactions between design and use are not naturally occurring phenomena, but must be actively organised in order to create effects.展开更多

We find out that it helps to enhance the discrimination in classification by integrating other distance based features and/or adding signal preprocessing to the original samples. In this paper, we propose an improved version of the CRC method which uses the Gabor wavelet transformation to preprocess the samples and also adapts the nearest neighbor(NN)features, and hence we call it GNN-CRC. Firstly, Gabor wavelet transformation is applied to minimize the effects from the background in face images and build Gabor features into the input data. Secondly, the distances solved by NN and CRC are fused together to obtain a more discriminative classification. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed method for face recognition with different instantiations. The experimental results illustrate that our method outperforms the naive CRC as well as some other state-of-the-art algorithms.展开更多

Sparsity of the image representation is the key factor for robust image classification.As an improvement to sparse representation-based classification, collaborative representation is a newer method for robust image classification. Training samples of all classes collaboratively contribute together to represent one single test sample. The ways of representing a test sample in sparse representation and collaborative representation are very different, so we propose a novel method to integrate both sparse and collaborative representations to provide improved results for robust face recognition.The method first computes a weighted average of the representation coefficients obtained from two conventional algorithms, and then uses it for classification. Experiments on several benchmark face databases show that our algorithm outperforms both sparse and collaborative representation-based classification algorithms, providing at least a 10%improvement in recognition accuracy.展开更多
