Recent advances in drone visual sensors and integration of complex vision algorithms, facilitate further potential, entirely disrupting in a positive way their applications and capabilities. In particular, real-time object detection, usually the initial necessary step in multiple computer vision and image processing applications, has been gaining momentum in drone- based applications. Whilst heavily...
Emerging Camera Sensor Networks (CSN) leverage the collaboration, processing and communication capabilities of modern cameras to handle a wide variety of security and safety-critical tasks, including target tracking. However, the performance of CSN in terms of tracking accuracy can be severely degraded when faults occur. Faults may be caused by unpredictable software errors (e.g., in the image processing,...
Camera Sensor Networks (CSN) are becoming increasingly popular in a variety of security and safety-critical applications including public space surveillance, monitoring of attack-sensitive facilities, and critical infrastructure protection. Cameras in such networks are equipped with high-resolution visual sensors and on-board processors, while featuring wireless communication capabilities. These features...
Modern societies have reached a point where everyday life relies heavily on the reliable operation and intelligent management of critical infrastructures, such as electric power systems, telecommunication networks, water distribution networks, and transportation systems. Monitoring and controlling such systems is becoming increasingly more challenging as their size, complexity and interactions are...
IPAC (integrated platform for autonomic computing) aims at delivering a middleware and service creation environment for developing embedded, intelligent, collaborative, context-aware services in mobile nodes. IPAC relies on short range communications for the ad hoc realization of dialogs among collaborating nodes. Advanced sensing components leverage the context-awareness attributes of IPAC, thus...
This paper provides the semantics and axiomatization of propositional attitudes relevant to the critical thinking activity. This axiomatization can be used to provide a common ground for reasoning with different resources for the purpose of representing and analysing their points of view about particular issues. It can also be used during interaction with other (possibly human) agents in order to...
Statistical terminal assisted mobile positioning is a methodology that enhances the performance of existing localization techniques, by exploiting historical measurements collected at the terminal side. We propose a unified positioning framework in which different types of network related measurements may be employed by multiple techniques to derive coarse position estimates, while filtering is applied...
Summary form only given. This paper aims at an integrative and innovative approach to curriculum methods of teaching engineering methodology courses. The course is problem driven where industrial case studies are the basis for the introduction of problems, key concepts, and solution methodologies. The objective of developing this educational environment is to bring the complexity of real world decision...
