Real-time human segmentation in infrared videos
(2011)
In this paper, a new approach to real-time people segmentation through processing images captured by an infrared camera is introduced. The approach starts detecting human candidate blobs processed through traditional image ...
Mobile robot localization through identifying spatial relations from detected corners
(2011)
In this paper, the Harris corner detection algorithm is applied to images captured by a time-of-flight (ToF) camera. In this case, the ToF camera mounted on a mobile robot is exploited as a gray-scale camera for localization ...
Sensor-driven agenda for intelligent home care of the elderly
(2012)
The exponential increase of home-bound persons who live alone and are in need of continuous monitoring requires new solutions to current problems. Most of these cases present illnesses such as motor or psychological ...
The impact of soft computing for the progress of artificial intelligence
(2011)
This special issue encompasses five papers devoted to the different existing relationships between soft computing branches and classical artificial intelligence. The issue originated from the ?50 years of artificial ...
Model-driven engineering techniques for the development of multi-agent systems
(2012)
Model-driven engineering (MDE), implicitly based upon meta-model principles, is gaining more and more attention in software systems due to its inherent benefits. Its use normally improves the quality of the developed systems ...
A survey of video datasets for human action and activity recognition
(2013)
Vision-based human action and activity recognition has an increasing importance among the computer vision community with applications to visual surveillance, video retrieval and human?computer interaction. In recent years, ...
A review on the role of color and light in affective computing
(MDPI AG, 2015-08)
Light and color are ubiquitous environmental factors which have an influence on
the human being. Hence, light and color issues have to be considered especially significant in human-computer interaction (HCI) and fundamental ...
On the identification and establishment of topological spatial relations by autonomous systems
(2014)
Human beings use spatial relations to describe many daily tasks in their language. For a mobile robot to be useful in daily life, it is necessary to have navigation algorithms capable of identifying and establishing spatial ...
Intelligent multisensory systems in support of information society
(2014)
Nowadays, our environment is evolving more than ever in terms of connectivity and access to information, among others. People connected through social networks, such as Twitter or Facebook, upload photos, publish news about ...
Optical flow or image subtraction in human detection from infrared camera on mobile robot
(2010)
Perceiving the environment is crucial in any application related to mobile robotics research. In this paper, a new approach to real-time human detection through processing video captured by a thermal infrared camera mounted ...
