The availability of affordable Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) opens up a whole new field of civil applications. We present an Infrastructure for Compact Aerial Robots Under Supervision (ICARUS) that realizes a scalable low-cost testbed for research in the area of MAVs starting at about $100. It combines hardware and software for tracking and computer- based control of multiple quadrotors. In combination...
This work present new approach eye tracking with very less expensive IR sensor & IR led based apparatus connected to the computer. Photodiode & phototransistor are light reflection based component, the system design by use these components can be called as light reflection based system or non-imaging sensor base system. Basically this system is having very low complexity & very low computational...
The project presents an idea to provide visually impaired people access to any printed material or soft copies available on the computer. The project is a suitable alternative to Braille books. This initiative enables a blind person to read texts which are not available in the Braille format. An image sensor enables the user to take images of the text to be read. The dots of the script sensed by the...
The sense of sight provides the most reliable information about the environment. Although the human eye has a wide dynamic range for brightness adaptation, direct exposure to relatively bright light sources wipes out the total visual perception. The most remarkable example of this situation is driving a car at night, while the other cars are coming from the opposite lane with headlights on. In this...
The research presented here is an attempt to use a very basic, low cost and non-specialized microcontroller for image processing tasks. The applications emanating from such an attempt will result in inexpensive face detection, intelligent motion sensors to low cost vehicle counting systems. We have been able to develop a system based on Microchip dsPIC microcontroller that implements edge detection...
In order to detect the location of smoke in the Measuring System for Ground Shell Dispersion (MSGSD), presented an improved algorithm for the Background Subtraction. Focused on introducing design of the image detection algorithm. The results show that the system can quickly, accurately and effectively detect the location of the smoke.
We propose a novel framework in which simple and suitable hardware design accompanied with effective software algorithm to boost the performance of an 8-bit MCU-based embedded vision system to the level of a PC-based one. Our goal is to build a small and low cost 8-bit MCU-based embedded vision system in the form of an intelligent sensor to track multiple YUV 24-bit color objects in real time. Our...
As background subtraction is a common computer vision task; we analyze the usual pixel-level approach. We develop an efficient adaptive algorithm system based on pixel comparison. Recursive comparison of pixel is used between the present frame and the reference frame. This algorithm is implemented using image processing in MatLAB Environment and we work on making it a real-time applicable tool for...
Application of a vision system and a remote control car to an elective fourth year design project in electrical engineering is discussed. The design project involves learning and application of various sensors, actuators, control theories. The end product of the design project is an intelligent vehicle that is able to follow an emulated highway automatically. A camera with embedded color tracking...
FPGA implementations of complex image processing algorithms are often limited in flexibility and by the amount of available chip resources. This article presents a hardware design of an adaptive self-reconfigurable video processing platform. Dynamic self-reconfiguration increases a designpsilas flexibility and enables the use of FPGAs with a fraction of resources actually needed by the algorithm....
