A Vision of Intelligent Train Control

An Intelligent Vision System on a Mobile Manipulator

This article will introduce a robust vision system which was implemented on a mobile manipulator. This robot has to find objects and deliver them to pre specified locations. In the first stage, a method which is named color adjacency method was employed. However, this method needs a large amount of memory and the process is very slow on computers with small memories. Therefore since the previou...

Vision-Based Intelligent Control of Transportation Systems

Vision Based Remote Control in Intelligent

This contribution shows in full detail how to realize a gesture recognition system for controlling appliances in home environments. It focusses on the image processing aspects and the calibration of the cameras but also clariies details about remote controlling devices by gestures with the help of a vision system. Some hints for an intuitive dialogue are outlined.

Intelligent Transportation System/Positive Train Control at Highway-Rail Intersections

Since the mid-1990s, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has sponsored research, conducted by the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center of the U.S. DOT Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), aimed at integrating Positive Train Control (PTC) and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies. The objective...

Intelligent Studios: Using Computer Vision to Control Tv Cameras

This paper demonstrates that automatic framing of TV shows is an interesting and tractable domain for both Computer Vision and Artiicial Intelligence. Our basic goal is to build intelligent robotic cameras (SmartCams) able to frame subjects and objects in a TV studio upon verbal request from a TV director. To cope with the problem of relating visual imagery to symbolic knowledge about the scene...
