A real sea survey result of sea floor at Middle Okinawa Trough by a hovering type AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) HOBALIN is reported. The depth of the survey target area is almost the intended limit of the AUV and it was the first time for the AUV to dive down to that depth since the AUV dived first time into the real sea almost one year ago. The operation of the survey with the AUV was done...
In supervised machine learning applications, a data set of training and validation features and labels is required to train a neural network. In this paper, we present a remote-controlled, mobile robot and describe software used to generate a data set for vision-based, supervised machine learning applications. We present results from an experiment, which validates the developed platform, and also...
Consumer-grade RGB-D cameras capture RGB images along with per-pixel depth information, and because of their limited cost and ability to measure distances at a high frame rate, have been used in robotics and computer vision application. However, drawbacks include the repeatability and accuracy of RGB-D cameras for object detection and localization. This paper investigates and compares RGB-D cameras'...
Future of food innovation lies in the art and science of designing an interactive connected intelligent device that can detect how we feel and display the content suitable for individual consumers. We designed a smart dining table and chairs that can detect, sense, and analyze consumer's satisfaction, and interact with consumers. A team of furniture designer, software engineers, mechanical engineer,...
Structured lighting is a computer vision technique that projects illumination patterns onto the scene to facilitate feature extraction from the captured images. The use of lowcost cameras is avoided not only due to their low image quality but mostly due to the lack of a synchronization mechanism for the illuminators. In this paper we propose a method to synchronize low-cost cameras and illuminators...
With the proliferation of online developer forums as informal documentation, developers often share their opinions about the APIs they use. However, given the plethora of opinions available for an API in various online developer forums, it can be challenging for a developer to make informed decisions about the APIs. While automatic summarization of opinions have been explored for other domains (e...
Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) have garnered significant interest in the past years as a potential solution to embed smarter technologies for education. The intrinsic ability of this technology to engage and intrigue students in active learning pedagogies has recently been successfully proven across all ages using various techniques. Predominantly amongst the effective technologies, has been the development...
The problem of the early detection of forest fires in isolated areas is studied, as is the case of Torres del Paine National Park, as an area of very high tourist interest, an economic engine of the Magallanes region, and currently a world reserve of The Biosphere according to UNESCO. No communication connectivity, and presents important logistical challenges to deploy and install equipment, with...
The purpose of the article is to outline the futuristic vision of Industry 4.0 in intra-logistics by creating a hybrid network for research and technologies thereby providing a detailed account on the research centre, available technologies and their possibilities for collaboration. Scientific challenges in the field of Industry 4.0 and intra-logistics are identified due to the new form of interaction...
In recent years, mobile cyber physical systems have found applicability in multiple areas such as mobile intelligent robots and robotics systems, intelligent transportation systems, environmental monitoring systems, healthcare systems and so on. Remote control of mobile objects is a very promising field which allows to improve the convenience and safety of human society life. According to the fact...
A fully automatic test system for characterizing advanced probe cards able to probe on large-array fine-pitch micro-bumps (such as JEDEC's Wide-I/O Mobile DRAM interfaces [1, 2]) has been specified, developed, installed, and brought to a full-operational state. The system is based on a Cascade CM300 probe station from FormFactor and National Instruments PXI test instrumentation and complemented by...
This paper presents a complete embedded system for iris recognition. The proposed system is based on the Raspberry Pi 3B single-board computer. The main emphasis has been placed on functionality of the whole recognition process, including hardware and software aspects. A carefully designed infra-red data acquisition enabled efficient iris segmentation and coding. The data processing software is based...
Information and Communication Technology is always walking in the forefront of human education. Now, it is the stage where human education has to adapt itself to the developing technologies. In 2016, the Natural Science Foundation suggested that people need to use the human-technology to improve and extend the human learning. This paper provides the concept of Software Defined Class (SDC), where the...
The rapid and ever growing development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have made possible for virtual laboratories to be used as an alternative or to supplement the physical laboratories. Physical laboratories found at high school, colleges and universities occupy physical space, require a lot of maintenance and also require an expertise to work and function properly. All of the...
The unified program architecture of real time vision system (VS) with several fields of view construction is described. The offered architecture provides both onboard and stationary usage. In case of stationary usage, it provides determination of location and trajectory of objects movement in the ordered system of co-ordinates. Principles of open architecture, componential technology and use of standard...
Colon cancer is one of the leading cancers in both men and women across the globe. The incidence is especially high in developed countries and urban settings. Colonoscopy has been the established procedure for screening and early detection of colon cancer. This procedure involves insertion of a colonoscope with a video camera to examine the inner lining of the colon for suspicious polyps and growths...
A new radiometry and design framework has been introduced in the latest Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation model (DIRSIG5) that allows for faster simulations while streamlining the generation of high-fidelity radiometric data. The same framework that allows for improved computational performance has also modularized simulation components to allow for extensive interchangeability based...
The term Conformal Printing refers to 3D printing onto uneven surfaces. Whilst some very high priced solutions exist for known uneven surfaces, where the toolpath is generated in advance, based on CAD data of the object to be printed onto, there is nothing available yet for conformal printing onto unknown uneven surfaces that are scanned on-the-fly. A low-cost prototype named ‘InSPIREd’ was recently...
More than 5% of Thai people have strabismus. Strabismus is known as cross-eyed or wall-eyed because the visual field angle of two eyes is not parallel. The amblyopia disease is the cause of strabismus in kids. Strabismus can be completely cured if the strabismus screening can be made in early stage. Currently, strabismus screening includes methods such as Hirschberg test, cover test and Krimsky test,...
The focus of the project is to create new approaches to the study of the past through the use of innovative aero-space technologies to measure, analyse and reconstruct the ancient landscape and its remaining natural and anthropic traces. The équipe, based at the University of Padua, is constituted by archaeologists, egyptologists, mechanical and software engineers, physicists and computer scientists...
