Behavior Modeling is always a attentive task in the complex product modeling. It is difficult to monitor different kind of behavior of a product in the physical environment. In the RFLP (Requirement Functional Logical Physical) structure, behavior modeling is accomplished in Function and Logical level. There are several ways to monitor the behavior of a product. In this paper, author made an effort...
In this work an online method for camera-based heart rate detection, also known as Photoplethysmography Imaging (PPGI), is presented. The pulse related signal is obtained from RGB videos of the human face, using an off the shelf camera under ambient light conditions. The algorithm for heart rate estimation is based on the beat-to-beat analysis of the PPGI signal, allowing the estimation of psychophysiological...
This article describes a method of obtaining image with orthographic top view from a usual perspective image with the rear view of the around view systems in vehicles. This method is close to bilinear interpolation method by its algorithmic part, but differs in that the interpolation is not performed in the perpendicular direction, and special smoothing values are calculated for some of pixels. We...
It is important to manage the number of visitors in order to improve the event quality and to keep visitors' safety in a big event held in a large park. On the other hand, a low-cost doppler sensor becomes available these days to detect approaching and distancing of humans. Therefore, we propose a population monitoring system for events in a large area utilizing the doppler sensor. An administrator...
With the aging of the population, comes increased incidence of chronic diseases affecting the cardiac and respiratory systems. Monitoring of these chronic conditions at home via family members or in institutions via healthcare providers is usually adequate during the day. Non-intrusive video-based monitoring approaches have been proposed using optical cameras whose performance significantly deteriorates...
An autonomous underwater camera is developed for monitoring the red snow crab habitat in deep sea. Most of the deep sea cameras are designed such that they can be used with special deep sea exploration instruments such as underwater vehicles. However, a developed camera can be attached to the fish traps for catching the red snow crab, and fishermen who are not underwater camera experts can handle...
Family security is one of the key goals of a digital home system. At present, webcams are widely used in home remote monitoring systems. This is due to the fact that its passive monitoring nature leaves a potential security problem and cannot be used for providing proactive security. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the design of a remote embedded intelligent security monitoring system based...
This article reports a novel algorithm inspired byscalar premier determination considering reduced cameraactivation while contributing enhanced coverage of the occurringevent zone. The proposed scheme chooses the scalar premiers in ahexagonal fashion, which operate as representatives of the scalarswithin whose sensing ranges the scalar premiers are located. Theselection of the scalar premiers is accomplished...
This article reports a novel scheme called minimal mean distant scalar leader selection inspired by event driven camera actuation for redundant data minimization. The proposed algorithm aims at actuating minimum number of cameras while maximizing the event area coverage and reducing the resulting traffic overhead. This is accomplished by effective selection of scalar leaders in each sub-region of...
The work proposes different methods to avoid various fields from the invaders such as birds, animals etc. These factors cause a huge impact in the fields such as Airports, Gardens, and Agriculture. Methods such as Image processing, radar system, voice recognition, and motion sensors are used for detection. Image processing is used for template matching, Radar system classifies the birds and it determines...
Surveillance denotes close observation and monitoring of behavior, activities, or other dynamic information, of people or objects for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting them. With advancement in technology and emerging of various intelligent prediction techniques, it has now become possible to imbibe the traditional video surveillance with intelligence to identify or take...
A new image-based visual servoing method based on point features is presented to partially decouple the position and orientation controls. The control laws are designed for rotation and translation, respectively. Rotation takes priority over translation, but the movement of features caused by rotation is compensated in the translation control law. A monitor is designed to manage the adjustments for...
We are developing an endoscopic manipulator control system based on eye tracking, which uses pupil variation to improve control performance. In this paper, we propose a new approach for the control of camera zoom for an endoscopic manipulator using pupil variation, which has not been previously attempted. Before using pupil variation for the zoom function, we observed how pupil variation was related...
Introducing robots into the operating theatre has become more popular in recent decades. Surgical manipulators have been developed to assist in surgeries like a human assistant to facilitate the surgical procedures. In this paper, we present an eye-controlled interface for the surgeon to control this kind of robot based on eye-tracking glasses. In our approach, we use the monitor for providing the...
During underwater monitoring observations in shallow water for coastal environmental conservation, the sea is not always clear and waves and current make the observational situation difficult. Underwater monitoring is still conducted mainly by human divers. Therefore, underwater robotics or remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) that can monitor from a human diver's perspective are considered...
Many types of multimedia can be used to accommodate information for pervasive communication. Messages may be injected into them by information hiding techniques and extracted for various purposes. Such multimedia with messages embedded are called message-rich multimedia. A new method for creating message-rich videos is proposed in this study for people to exchange messages by display-and-imaging operations...
Street light monitoring is a vital and inevitable process to avoid night time accidents, criminal activities and thefts etc., In existing systems, the monitoring of street lights rely on man power or sensors which are not reliable and time consuming. Further sudden failure of the lights during night is very difficult to identify manually. Hence, this paper presents a summary of our work on implementation...
Developing surveillance and monitoring systems can be quite challenging at times, since the systems should be designed with consideration of the environment to be monitored. Good surveillance systems need to have dynamic features, e.g. monitoring cameras that are mobile and can move around the area being monitored. One scenario that requires such mobile monitoring is the surveillance of a large building...
The custom to gaze at screens of PC and smart phones has become common in daily life and it causes increase the symptom of dry eye syndrome. The purpose of this study is to develop a new monitor system to catch an eye area by using a front camera of a tablet, to visualize the opening and closing rate of the blink and to reduce eyestrain and to alert dry eye syndrome. Then, the image processing techniques...
Sleep position is an important feature used to assess the quality and quantity of an individual's sleep. Furthermore, it is related to sleep disorders like sleep apnoea and snoring, and needs to be tracked in nursery homes to avoid pressure ulcers. Therefore, a gravity sensor attached to the chest is generally used to register body position during sleep studies. We suggest a non-intrusive and cost-efficient...
