With the introduction of the concept of cloud computing an immense trend is found towards the concept of computing as service, with this approach the huge efforts are being made to utilize mobile phones and other hand held devices at their fullest. With this the first thing that comes out in mind is, to use the mobiles and hand held devices as real time sensing devices. This paper is an effort towards...
Conventional radar networks are limited at warning against low-altitude wind hazards such as tornadoes and micro-bursts due to the combined effects of their long range, far spacing, and Earth's curvature. The Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) Engineering Research Center aims to solve these limitations through dual-Doppler systems operating in densely-spaced short range radar...
Tornadoes are known as a high-impact weather hazard with fine-scale space-time variability. To detect, monitor and track tornadoes requires very high spatiotemporal resolution sensing observations. Initiated to address this need, a networked sensing concept was recently introduced, known as DCAS paradigm, and a networked Doppler radar system was engineered and deployed in southwest Oklahoma. The system...
A new hardware-software interface for autonomous sensors has been designed with the objective of providing a low power consumption and high performance interface for the measuring of transduction elements commonly used in industrial applications: temperature, resistive bridges, accelerometers, capacitive and pressure sensors. It integrates a Generic Transducer Interface, which is an analog front-end...
In this paper we introduce a generalization of Fisher-Rao's discriminant analysis and its application in a human-computer interaction scenario: a sensing chair. Our algorithm shows to be able to successfully estimate the underlying distributions of the pressure maps data of the sensing chair. Other linear discriminant techniques, such as LDA, had been found to be inadequate for the job; typically...
