An efficient photoplethysmography imaging system and advanced algorithm for continuous monitoring of skin microcirculation was developed. The system comprises compact device and computer with software for visualizing of skin blood volume changes. The software is able to process high-resolution microcirculation amplitude maps in real-time. It was tested in clinical environment during the regional anesthesia...
A technique for the acquisition of an increased number of pupil positions, using a combined sensor consisting of a low-rate camera and a high-rate optical sensor, is presented in this paper. The additional data are provided by the optical movement-detection sensor mounted in close proximity to the eyeball. This proposed solution enables a significant increase in the number of registered fixation points...
Agriculture is the strength of Indian economy. Among various plants, Banana is considered to be one of the most valuable plants. The scientific name of banana is Musa Paradisiacal. It has a life span of about 10–12 months. Banana leaf is to be regularly monitored for presence of disease. They are easily affected by viral disease called Banana Streak Virus. The symptom of the banana streak virus will...
The growing need of Disaster management requires some specialties in sophisticated technologies. Navigating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in an unknown indoor environment is a complex task. This work tries to implement an autonomous system, which navigates the Low-cost Quadcopter with an on-board computer, sensors and Ground station which carries out a spatially consistent probabilistic model for...
In the last two decades the use of technology in art projects has proliferated, as is the case of the interactive projections based on movement used in artistic performances and installations. However, the artists responsible for creating this work typically have to rely on computer experts to implement this type of interactive systems. The tool herein presented, MotionDesigner, intends to assist...
The accuracy of the image is dependent on the quality parameters of camera. The camera parameters is obtained from the target calibration of the test bench in past. Recently, the image processing software can be dealt with the target-free calibration by internal programming. In this research, the images of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are examined by two types of processes, target calibration and...
The subject of this paper is a particularly challenging machine vision (MV) based sorting application where the ‘part’ is an Indian coin. The application is challenging in part because of the lack of distinctive features to differentiate between denominations as well as the variability in the features for a given denomination. Although there are coin recognition algorithms documented in the literature,...
Articulated arm robots have become critical components in the modern manufacturing environment, effectively performing a diverse range of manufacturing tasks. Robots offer flexibility through re-programmability — however, robot programming remains a time consuming task which requires highly skilled operators. Aiming to reduce the required time and complexity of robot programming, this paper presents...
The aim of this paper the extraction of human body dimensions using the latest Microsoft Kinect device. Another focus is the analysis of various application of this device in specific branches of science and research and its application in estimation of dimensions. Brief analysis of the device itself is carried out as well. The principal output of this paper the software application that utilizes...
The current paper presents the Quiz Cube application and its evaluation. The Quiz Cube application is an AR mobile learning application for students and teachers to easily make and use AR UI system using fiducial marker cubes. AR as a platform is just now reaching its full potential. Since smartphones and mobile devices are now at a sufficiently large user base, it is worth looking at the potential...
This paper presents hardware and software solution for simulation of a group of cameras used by the PLATO satellite. The simulator can be configured either to work with the scientific processing unit or as the complementary loop attitude control processing unit. Configuration and monitoring can be performed remotely, which caters to cooperatively work and guarantees traceability for quality purposes...
More and more modern technologies are used for designing clothes. One of these technologies is simulation of garments. For simulation some mechanical parameters like Youngsmodulus, Shear-modulus, bending stiffness, surface weight, coefficient of friction between fabric and skin and between like materials, and thickness are necessary and need to be determined through precise measurement. Especially...
Natural or man-made disasters often result in trapped victims under rubble piles. In such emergency response situations, Urban Search and Rescue (USaR) teams have to make quick decisions to determine the location of possible trapped humans. The fast 3D modelling of collapsed buildings using images from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can significantly help the USaR operations and improve disaster...
Hydro-Québec operates 63 hydroelectric power plants and owns 668 dams, as well as 98 control structures. In order to ensure their safety and proper operation, Hydro-Québec's Research Institute (IREQ) develops robotic technologies that can perform diagnosis and intervention tasks underwater. Over the last 20 years, several generations of underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have been developed...
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...
Indonesia is an archipelago country with various kind of arts and cultures that must be maintained and preserved. Traditional dance is one kind of arts and cultures owned by each territory in Indonesia. Optical motion capture computer technology had been successfully implemented as traditional dance motion captured. Using this technology, traditional dancer movement could be documented and stored...
Standard endoscopy is a screening method that allows the detection of GI tract pathologies and lesions. However, it was demonstrated that endoscopy suffers from a significant miss rate for cancer detection. Therefore, there is a need to establish a standard protocol that can quantify the quality of endoscopic procedures, assist physicians in analyzing their performance and train them on how to select...
Processing of a vast number of aerial images from high-resolution digital camera always leads to the use of lengthy hours. This contradicts to the advantage of the use of UAV that could acquire and deliver the data rapidly to highlight the actual condition of the terrain. In previous studies, 1033 images were used covering the size of about seven kilometres square of the study area. During image acquisition...
Navigation is a fundamental problem that relates to localization and positioning for a humanoid robot Nao. Odometry is the one of many techniques that able to solve it. Nao humanoid robot actually doesn't have an odometry module by itself, and odometry sensors that currently available on it and can be used is only IMU module. An odometry sensor that quite interesting in recent times, usually for fusioning...
PRINTEPS (Practical INTEligent aPplicationS) is a total intelligent application development platform that integrates 5 types of sub systems (knowledge-based reasoning, speech dialog, image sensing, manipulation and machine learning). This paper shows us how PRINTEPS has been applied to classroom AI where multiple people and robots cooperate.
