The number of firefighter deaths and casualties (274 in 2007, 352 in 2006) published in the latest UK fire statistics demonstrates the demand for better support for first responders. More complete information can help the fire Incident Commanders (ICs) analyze the risks and deal with the hazards more efficiently. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have shown great potential in providing information from...
The following topics are dealt with: global sequence alignment using CUDA compatible multicore GPU; position sensor less brushless DC motor; MEMS inertial sensor stochastic model; self localized field robot; image processing; FPGA; peer to peer Web service; wireless access network; and robot surgery.
This paper presents a vision based cross sectional area measurement system suitable for in-process quality controlling of rubber profile extrusions via cross section measurements. The system is basically developed for solid trapezoidal shaped rubber profiles commonly used in the rubber tack manufacturing industry. Since the extrusion continuously comes out the extruder, it is impossible to view the...

We present an effective solution for both digital map generation and real time user tracking for teams operating in hazardous environments or unfamiliar territory. The system is based on the client server model, where the client is a GPS enabled mobile phone which is capable of capturing coordinates and serving dynamic maps to the user. The maps plot the team's navigational routes and enables real...
The research presented here is an attempt to use a very basic, low cost and non-specialized microcontroller for image processing tasks. The applications emanating from such an attempt will result in inexpensive face detection, intelligent motion sensors to low cost vehicle counting systems. We have been able to develop a system based on Microchip dsPIC microcontroller that implements edge detection...
This paper is about the development of a framework for the formal certification of software for masquerade detection based upon natural mimicry. A masquerade is when an intruder mimics a genuine user in order to compromise the security of a computer system. The framework consists of looking at mimicry in the natural world. Based on this, a model for mimicry is developed based on the principle of indiscernibility...
Analysis of fertile material such as flowers and fruit is a key factor in the proper identification of plant species. Despite object recognition being a mature research area, the use of it in automated plant identification is still relatively new. This paper describes a novel method of detecting fertile material in plant images using rectangular features. Rectangular features are obtained for the...
This paper presents evaluation methodology for English to Sinhala machine translation system. The English to Sinhala machine translation system has been developed by using Multi Agent Approach and powered through the concept of "Varanegeema". Translation system works through the communication among nine agents namely English Morphological Analyzer Agent, English Parser Agent, English to...
