Advancements in light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology have significantly improved robotics and automated navigation. However, the high cost of traditional LiDAR sensors restricts their use in small-scale robotic projects. This paper details the development of a low-cost LiDAR prototype for small mobile robots, using time-of-flight (ToF) sensors as a cost-effective alternative. Integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller for real-time data processing and Wi-Fi connectivity, the prototype facilitates accurate distance measurement and environmental mapping, crucial for autonomous navigation. Our approach included hardware design and assembly, followed by programming the ToF sensors and ESP32 for data collection and actuation. Experiments validated the accuracy of the ToF sensors under static, dynamic, and varied lighting conditions. Results show that our low-cost system achieves accuracy and reliability comparable to more expensive options, with an average mapping error within acceptable limits for practical use. This work offers a blueprint for affordable LiDAR systems, expanding access to technology for research and education, and demonstrating the viability of ToF sensors in economical robotic navigation and mapping solutions.

10.11591/ijece.v15i1.pp311-318
Faouzia Ennaama , Sara Ennaama , Sana Chakri
Principal component analysis (PCA) is essential for diminishing the number of dimensions across various fields, preserving data integrity while simplifying complexity. Eigenfaces, a notable application of PCA, illustrates the method's effectiveness in facial recognition. This paper introduces a novel PCA approximation technique based on maximizing distance and compares it with the traditional eigenfaces approach. We employ several image quality metrics including Euclidean distance, mean absolute error (MAE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) for a quantitative assessment. Experiments conducted on the Brazilian FEI database reveal significant differences between the approximated and classical eigenfaces. Despite these differences, our approximation method demonstrates superior performance in retrieval and search tasks, offering faster and parallelizable implementation. The results underscore the practical advantages of our approach, particularly in scenarios requiring rapid processing and expansion capabilities.

Multi-objective optimized task scheduling in cognitive internet of vehicles: towards energy-efficiency

10.11591/ijece.v15i1.pp1229-1241
M. Divyashree , H. G. Rangaraju , C. R. Revanna
The rise of intelligent and connected vehicles has led to new vehicular applications, but vehicle computing capabilities remain limited. Mobile edge computing (MEC) can mitigate this by offloading computation tasks to the network's edge. However, limited computational capacities in vehicles lead to increased latency and energy consumption. To address this, roadside units (RSUs) with cloud servers, known as edge computing devices (ECDs), can be expanded to provide energy-efficient scheduling for task computation. A new energy-efficient scheduling method called multi-objective optimization energy computation (MOEC) is proposed, based on multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) to reduce ECDs' energy usage and execution time. Simulation results using MATLAB show that MOEC can balance the trade-off between energy usage and execution time, leading to more efficient offloading.

Sara Rekkal , Kahina Rekkal
The marketing of web services on the internet continues to increase, resulting in an increasing number of web services and, therefore, operations offering equivalent functionalities. As a consequence, finding an appropriate web service (operation) for a particular task has become a difficult challenge, taking a lot of time and leading to an insufficient selection of relevant services. This work aims to propose a new approach facilitating the search and localization of relevant web services (operations) in an acceptable time while ensuring the totality of the response. This approach is divided into three crucial phases. The first step involves collecting web services from various universal description, discovery, and integration (UDDI) registries and different domains and forming specialized sub-registries. The second phase involves the extraction of operations from various services, followed by a similarity study whose goal is the formation of clusters of similar operations. The third phase processes user requests by identifying the desired features. A list of operations is then provided to the client, including the non-functional properties, from which they select the one that best meets their needs and begin to invoke it.

This study explores the prediction of taxi trip fares using two linear regression methods: normal equations (ordinary least squares solution (OLS)) and limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (L-BFGS). Utilizing a dataset of New York City yellow taxi trips from 2023, the analysis involves data cleaning, feature engineering, and model training. The data consists of over 12 million records, managed, and processed that involves configuring the Spark driver and executor memory to efficiently process the Parquet-format data stored on hadoop distributed file system (HDFS). Key features influencing fare amount, such as passenger count, trip distance, fare amount, and tip amount, were analyzed for correlation. Models were trained on an 80-20 train-test split, and their performance was evaluated using root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean squared error (MSE). Results show that both methods provide comparable accuracy, with slight differences in coefficients and training time. Additionally, vendor performance metrics, including total trips, average trip distance, fare amount, and tip amount, were analyzed to reveal trends and inform strategic decisions for fleet management. This comprehensive analysis demonstrates the efficacy of linear regression techniques in predicting taxi fares and offers valuable insights for optimizing taxi operations.

When a train passed through a railway-level crossing, a common phenomenon was that many vehicles attempted to overtake others by crossing into lanes designated for oncoming traffic, resulting in both roads becoming congested with motorized vehicles. At that time, no system was in place to enforce penalties for violating road markings at level crossings. Therefore, a system capable of detecting such violations when trains pass through was needed. The designed system utilized a Raspberry Pi 4, a webcam, and an ultrasonic sensor. The single shot detector (SSD) method was employed for vehicle classification. The optical character recognition (OCR) method was used for character recognition on license plates. The research involved object detection at level crossings using varied objects (cars and motorcycles) with license plates categorized into two types: white background plates with black numbers and black background plates with white numbers. Based on the research results, turning on the webcam when the bar opened and closed using an ultrasonic sensor got an average error of 0.573% and 0.582%. The system could distinguish objects with an average recognition delay of 0.554 seconds and 0.702 seconds for car and motorbike objects. Regarding number plate detection, the success rate of character recognition stood at 64.45%.
