Vision-based sky segmentation and horizon line detection can be extremely useful to perform important tasks onboard Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as pose estimation and collision avoidance. Most of the existing vision-based solutions use traditional image processing methods to identify the horizon line. This results in good overall accuracy and fast computation times. However, difficult environmental...
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have recently become a versatile platform for many civilian applications including inspection, surveillance and mapping. Sense-and-Avoid systems are essential for the autonomous safe operation of these systems in non-segregated airspaces. Vision-based Sense-and-Avoid systems are preferred to other alternatives as their price, physical dimensions and weight are more suitable...
Asepsis preservation is compulsory in operating rooms (ORs) for avoiding the spread of hospital-acquired diseases. It is enforced nowadays by drastic measures regulating the use of sterile devices by non-sterile staff and vice versa. Contact less computer vision-based interfaces may overcome such limitations. Our works relates to the development of an image processing chain aiming at giving surgeons...
A high proportion of hospital-acquired diseases are transmitted nowadays during surgery despite existing asepsis preservation measures. These are quite drastic, prohibiting surgeons from interacting directly with non-sterile equipment. Indirect control is presently achieved through an assistant or a nurse. Gesture-based Human-Computer Interfaces constitue a promising approach for giving direct control...
Forest fires constitute one of the most damaging natural disaster for many countries around the world. Its mechanisms can be studied through forest fire metrology. Despite a large number of proposed algorithms for fire detection, only few works adress the segmentation problem in fire metrology. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a SVM-based segmentation method for forest fire metrology...
Asepsis preservation in operating rooms is essential for limiting patient infection by hospital-acquired diseases. For health reasons, surgeons may not be directly in contact with sterile equipment surrounding them, and must instead rely on assistants to interact with these in their place. Gesture-based Human-Computer Interfaces constitute an interesting option for allowing surgeons to control such...
