چکیده

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting the location of the speaker that is a target of automatic video filming in distance learning and lecture archive. It is required that a face of a speaking student is filmed in a lecture video. For this purpose, it is necessary to detect the location of a speaker. An acoustic sensor such as a microphone array is used widely to detect the location of a sound source. However, it is difficult to detect the location of a sound source precisely using only microphone array because of sound noise in a large space such as a lecture room. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting more precise location of a speaker in the lecture room using not only the microphone array but also visual sensors. The result shows that the precision ratio of detecting the location of a speaker was improved about 20% by our sensor-fusion method.

A Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation

In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

Uncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1

In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...
