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 ...
Determining heart parameters through left ventricular automatic segmentation for heart disease diagnosis
(2009)
Segmentation of the left ventricle in echocardiographic images is a task with important diagnostic power. This paper describes a method for the calculation of the ventricle?s contours in long- and short-axis views. The ...
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 ...
Knowledge-based road traffic monitoring
(2007)
This article presents a knowledge-based application to study and analyze traffic behavior on major roads, using as the main surveillance artefact a video camera mounted on a relatively high place with a significant image ...
Holonic multi-agent system model for fuzzy automatic speech / speaker recognition
(2008)
An automatic speech / speaker recognition (ASSR) system has to adapt to possible changes of speaker and environment conditions, and act as close as possible to the way a human recognizes speeches / speakers. This kind of ...
