Marine aquaculture is deeply rooted in Norwegian national economics and traditions, especially in the M⊘re og Romsdal region. This paper presents the development of a novel ROV for aquaculture inspection in marine application to provide first-hand information in fishery nets. The ROV is a part of so called “Sea Farm” project. When the ROV doesnot work, it will be carried by a floating platform. A...
With an increase in the population of older adults, the number of cases with dementia also increases. People living with dementia (PLwD) exhibit various behavioral and psychological experiences; agitation and aggression being the most common. Aggressive patients with dementia can harm themselves, other patients and the staff. In the past, researchers have used actigraphy to detect incidences of agitation...
This paper deals with the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) problem. The main objective is to limit it by controlling the main reasons that may lead to it. Sudden infant death syndrome is the death without specific reason of a healthy newborn, usually during sleep. Although the causes are unknown, SIDS may be related to abnormalities in the infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from...
This paper proposes a methodology to be used in the segmentation of infrared thermography images for the detection of bearing faults in induction motors. The proposed methodology can be a helpful tool for preventive and predictive maintenance of the induction motor. This methodology is based on manual threshold image processing to obtain a segmentation of an infrared thermal image, which is used for...
Milk, one of the important human foods, can not only be drunken directly but also be processed to produce more products. It is a critical issue for owners of ranches to effectively manage the pregnancy, reproduction, and milking of dairy cows. In current ranches, artificial insemination is performed to make dairy cows pregnant. Accurate estrus detection of dairy cows is essential for the success in...
The work in progress described in this paper has the objective to implement a beehive monitoring system to monitor essential parameters of a bee hive (such as temperature, sound, weight) and additionally including an image recognition algorithm to observe the degree of infestation with Varroa mites. Mites should be detected at the entrance and statistics about the degree of infestation should be made...
In this paper, the DSSC safety-interlock system is introduced. It is designed to keep the DSSC mega-pixel camera in a safe-state. The system is composed of four inter-communicating sub-systems referred here as a master SIB (safety-interlock board) and three partner SIBs. Each SIB monitors and processes 75 temperature sensors mainly located in the focal plane and also distributed inside the camera-head...
Wearable computing with computer input just by sight for health care is proposed. Wearable computing with Input-Output Devices based on Eye-Based Human Computer Interaction: EBHCI which allows location based web services including navigation, location/attitude/health condition monitoring is proposed. Through implementation of the proposed wearable computing system, all the functionality is confirmed...
An efficient people occupancy detection, tracking, and behavior recognition method is introduced in this study. The problem of monitoring wide field can be achieved using the programmable camera network instated of the typical fixed cameras. In addition, based on the depth image feature, the shape feature of the occupant can be used to the activity recognition more accurately.
Design and analysis of On Board Data Handling by using raspberry pi, temperature sensors, accelerometers, servo motors and a camera have been done in this research. To capture an object, it is used a servo motor for controlling camera. In this research, also designed the guard dog to avoid system error due to data accumulation from sensors or camera. Testing distances are SO, 100 and 200 meters with...
Condition monitoring has become significant and inevitable for look after of electrical system, and has engrossed more and more attention globally. The no physical contact property of non-destructive condition monitoring techniques is now very significant and essential at diverse industrial process. Though, accessibility of CM methods are multiple for distinct problems such as partial discharge, thermal...
The use of thermal images for condition based monitoring is becoming very popular in industries. This paper presents a simple approach for condition based monitoring of machines using thermal Images on Android Platform. This approach is non-contact, fast and precise for CBM of rotating and non-rotating machines. The proposed approach has been successfully implemented on Android smartphone for CBM...
This paper presents a real-time imaging acquisition and processing system for early smoke detection in indoor scenarios such as home/office, warehouse, industrial building, or on-board vehicles (train, bus or ship.). The main idea is integrating standard gas/temperature sensors with the results of a video-based smoke detection processing exploiting its temporal, spatial and chromatic characteristics...
This study aimed to investigate an establishment using an Intelligent System which employed an Embedded System and Smart Phone for chicken farming management and problem solving using Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno. An experiment and comparative analysis of the intelligent system was applied in a sample chicken farm in this study. The findings of this study found that the system could monitor surrounding...
Infrared thermal cameras can be used to detect early-stage thermal anomalies in electrical or mechanical equipment and structures, before they lead to the interruption of their operation. In this work, we present a system to control the positioning and movement of a thermographic camera, mounted on a mechanical support with six degrees of freedom, employing the low cost microcontroller board Arduino...
In the recent years UAV have become an important tool for monitoring and sampling activities in a wide range of applications. Last December an UAV was used for the first time to survey the Lusi volcano (Indonesia). The aim was to take mud and gas samples, aerial photographs, videos and contact temperature measurements. Two different prototypes of remote controlled gas containers were available; in...
Pervasive healthcare systems, enabled by information and communication technology (ICT), can allow the elderly and chronically ill to stay at home while being constantly monitored. This work aims to present a framework for healthcare monitoring systems based on heterogeneous sensors. In addition to video cameras, the system makes use of a variety of heterogeneous sensors that allow adequate monitoring...
With energy consumption on the rise, many researches have focused on the process of monitoring resources to ensure energy efficiency. Monitoring indoor environment is vital to control the use of various high consumption rate devices like air-conditioners lights, etc. Based on the brightness of the room one could decide whether to switch on or off the lights. Integrating two complementing technologies...
To help keep seniors in their homes while maximizing the goal of remote monitoring relentlessly, we opted for a remote monitoring system based around a so-called smart camera and a wireless transmission system between the patient's residence and a center for medical expertise. We know that the rise in body temperature is a convincing and reliable indicator of most viral infections in humans. To address...
This paper describes the development of an robotic helicopter for monitoring pollution and habitat in natural reserves. The particular environment under investigation is Tijuana River Estuary (TRE) south of the city of San Diego on the US-Mexico border. The ecology of TRE is briefly reviewed and the motivation for using an robotic helicopter is discussed. Next the application of aerial imaging to...
