چکیده
Aalesund University College (AAUC) is situated in an area of industry companies developing the most advanced equipment and procedures for safe ship operations. AAUC has established a close cooperation with these private technology developers for the purpose of joint research and testing in this field. This work deals with the design of tomorrow’s ship bridges. In the light of the bridge officer’s situation of continuously growing information influence it has become mandatory to develop a new bridge concept in order to maintain and improve safety and efficiency in ship operations. The focus has been to explore the possibilities of modern vision technology in combination with dedicated systems for information extraction from large quantities of data. An important concept in this setting will be artificial sight and augmented reality. So far some interesting sensor and vision concepts have been tested and the results have shown to be promising. This research activity is supported by funding from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR).

Implementing the most efficient sensor placement methods on the ship structural model
The damage and failure in engineering structures, especially offshore structures, and hull of ship structures, causes economic losses, human disasters, and environmental problems. Therefore, diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of failure in these structures is vital. In this situation, engineers have introduced the use of structural health monitoring operations as a suitable way to prevent...
متن کاملRobot Motion Vision Pait I: Theory
A direct method called fixation is introduced for solving the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion relative to an arbitrary environment. This method results in a linear constraint equation which explicitly expresses the rotational velocity in terms of the translational velocity. The combination of this constraint equation with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation solves the gene...

ABSTRACT-Manual harvesting of saffron as a laborious and exhausting job; it not only raises production costs, but also reduces the quality due to contaminations. Saffron quality could be enhanced if automated harvesting is substituted. As the main step towards designing a saffron harvester robot, an appropriate algorithm was developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recogn...

Offshore activity is developing and resulting in new demanding high-risk operations. Operation complexity increases with factors like heavier loads, subsea installations, and arctic waters; operational planning requirements increase as well. Demanding offshore operations are usually planned in detail, where plans may fill several binders, leading to information overload for the ship crews. Extr...
متن کاملLayered Logic Classifiers: Exploring the 'And' and 'Or' Relations
Designing effective and efficient classifier for pattern analysis is a key problem in machine learning and computer vision. Many the solutions to the problem require to perform logic operations such as ‘and’, ‘or’, and ‘not’. Classification and regression tree (CART) include these operations explicitly. Other methods such as neural networks, SVM, and boosting learn/compute a weighted sum on fea...
