The use of multimedia wireless sensor networks (MWSN) has spread for many sensing applications. An MWSN was deployed for animal monitoring in the Amazon rainforest of Peru. Tapirduino, the developed trap camera sensor node, is composed by an Arduino-like PCB, a CMOS camera, an IR flash, a PIR sensor, a SD card, and 900-MHz radio. The challenges tackled in this project were to overcome the high attenuation...
The problem of the early detection of forest fires in isolated areas is studied, as is the case of Torres del Paine National Park, as an area of very high tourist interest, an economic engine of the Magallanes region, and currently a world reserve of The Biosphere according to UNESCO. No communication connectivity, and presents important logistical challenges to deploy and install equipment, with...
This paper presents an Augmented Reality (AR) comprehensive assembly system for the multi-interactive creation of assembly processes. The special multimodal interface allows the presentation of not only new types of visual display but also interestingly designed voice instructions and material flow management. The system simulates many-sided and complicated assembly tasks in various areas of manufacturing...
An efficient photoplethysmography imaging system and advanced algorithm for continuous monitoring of skin microcirculation was developed. The system comprises compact device and computer with software for visualizing of skin blood volume changes. The software is able to process high-resolution microcirculation amplitude maps in real-time. It was tested in clinical environment during the regional anesthesia...
In this paper, the DSSC safety-interlock system is introduced. It is designed to keep the DSSC mega-pixel camera in a safe-state. The system is composed of four inter-communicating sub-systems referred here as a master SIB (safety-interlock board) and three partner SIBs. Each SIB monitors and processes 75 temperature sensors mainly located in the focal plane and also distributed inside the camera-head...
This article studies the smoke and exhaust detection system that has been developed for monitoring exhaust gases to enforce environmental laws and regulations. In many highly populated countries the HSU (Hart ridge Smoke Unit) grade is used to impose penalties. In many cases, HSU values over 40 … 50 are leading to legal actions.
The paper presents a laboratory Wind Turbine System (WTS) which is added to existing Hybrid Power System (HPS) along with other main components like Solar Panel, Battery System, Solar Charge controller and Inverter. The WTS is operated with a Motor along with integrated Frequency converter. The complete system is designed to be monitored and controlled over internet from remote location under the...
This paper proposes an image-processing algorithm for register marker detection in a roll-to-roll (R2R) system. Recently, R2R systems have been receiving considerable international attention from researchers because of their ability to print electronic devices on flexible substrates. During such printing, an R2R system must adjust its printing position by continuously checking the positions of the...
We present seeing measurements of Langkawi National Observatory during the period from 2014 May 6 to 2015 March 26. The measurements were carried out with Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) of STV and Alcor system. The median seeing was measured to be best at 0.8 arcseconds in May 2014 with STV system and 0.5 arcseconds in December 2015 with Alcor system.
Assessing the presence and availability of a remote colleague is key in coordination in global software development but is not easily done using existing computer-mediated channels. Previous research has shown that automated estimation of interruptibility is feasible and can achieve a precision closer to, or even better than, human judgment. However, existing approaches to assess interruptibility...
The RECON project is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is automated to monitor, analyze, inspect, and intervene in bridges, roads, residential areas, etc. RECON is controlled using data acquisition devices from National Instruments and programmed under LabVIEW. The system is prepared to make a stable journey, communicate, deliver, and intervene and assist. RECON is ubiquitous; the software is...
This paper investigate the potential of Unmanned aerial imagery capturing system(UAiCs) to mapping a quarry area and carried out area measurement and spataial analysis. This study used fixed wing UAiCs as a platform and a sensor compact camera Canon PowerShot SX230 HS. A workflow from flight planning, data acqusistion and data processing was demonstrates in this research. Two result was produced which...
Infrared thermal cameras can be used to detect early-stage thermal anomalies in electrical or mechanical equipment and structures, before they lead to the interruption of their operation. In this work, we present a system to control the positioning and movement of a thermographic camera, mounted on a mechanical support with six degrees of freedom, employing the low cost microcontroller board Arduino...
In this paper we present a new approach for data exfiltration by leaking data from monitor's LED to Smartphone's camera. The new approach may be used by attackers to leak valuable information from the organization as part of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). The proof of concept that was developed is described in the paper followed by a description of an experiment that demonstrates that practically...
A new digital video-based visual monitoring system, that assists marine mammal mitigation by providing accurate, real-time sea surface distance estimation is described. Improvements on previous approaches are discussed and initial results from sea trials current taking place offshore are also presented.
Providing high-quality software in the face of uncertainties, such as dealing with new user needs, changing availability of resources, and faults that are difficult to predict, raises fundamental challenges to software engineers. These challenges have motivated the need for self-adaptive systems. One of the primary claimed benefits of self-adaptation is that a design with external feedback loops provide...
To help keep seniors in their homes while maximizing the goal of remote monitoring relentlessly, we opted for a remote monitoring system based around a so-called smart camera and a wireless transmission system between the patient's place of residence and a center for medical expertise. Incorporating the largest possible part of image and signal analysis necessary for the application of remote surveillance,...
Video surveillance systems are important part of today's organizations. When there is no live observation of the cameras image, it is important to have some alarm mechanisms for detection of physical impact against the cameras. Most simple video systems can detect motion and/or loss of video signal, but are vulnerable to covering or spraying the camera's lenses. Present study proposes a method for...
The hardware and software realization of a network video monitoring system was presented. A S3C2410 processor was used as the core of the embedded video server. The embedded video capturing software was developed according to V4L(video for linux) specification. The real time JPEG video stream was then transmitted from the server to the remote PC client through a socket connection. The system showed...
