In this paper we introduce a well synchronized eye gaze tracking system with voice confirmation, which aims at adding new dimensions to the present level of providing authentication. It is specifically modeled for those areas where computers demand very high security. We use an IRVS based human machine interaction system using head and eye coordination movement, narrow FOV cameras & use those...
To conduct mine detection experiments using an octal wheeled prototype robot RAT-1, we developed end effectors to be attached to the driving wheels of the robot. This enables the robot to step safely and stably without hitting hidden mines. We created a simulation model for this study to test the movement of a robot having metal sensors attached to the front of its wheels and a driving algorithm with...
This paper presents a novel fire detection device in the highly complicated urban environment, such as an office building, supermarket, school, etc. A robot for fire detecting and/or search and rescue needs to move fast while searching wide area. For this, we had developed an thermal image camera module which is capable of selectively acquiring very large field of view (FOV) - panoramic view - images...
A novel method using pseudo color to extract the vein pattern is proposed. The vein patterns obtained include hand vein, neck vein and arm vein. In our work, a thermal camera is adopted as the input device to capture the thermal images. The results show that vein pattern can be obtained and pseudo color method is an effective method of revealing the veins from the background tissue. The unwanted features...
This paper presents a general infrared vision system to be used in robotic applications in outdoor environments. The system uses a training-based threshold selection method. This method considers the knowledge on the application and information on the illumination conditions to select an appropriate threshold for the segmentation of the object of interest. The paper describes the application of the...
Summary form only given. A scheme has been designed and installed to protect the seaward perimeter of land-based operations. This paper reports on typical threats to these sites from various attack forces and sets out the resultant system that has been installed. This novel solution was proposed because of the many practical problems affecting this type of application. In particular, the site is located...
