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 ...
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 ...
Hybrid models in agent-based environmental decision support
(2011)
Providing informational support in decision making is one of the priority directions of research in the sphere of public health management. Modern approaches suggest wide usage of intelligent data mining methods and ...
A unified bilevel programming framework for price-based market clearing under marginal pricing
(2012)
Market clearing in restructured power systems is
mostly implemented through an offer-based setting with the goal
of maximizing social welfare. This approach leads to sound results
from an economic viewpoint when generation ...
