چکیده

'Thus it is necessary to turn the core through a ninety degree arc only. This has been found to be of dec-ded advantage when the stop-cock is operated mechanically. A similar stop-cock with a bronze core has been made. The advantage of the steel core is the fact that it can be used in positions in which there is a possibility of its coming in contact with mercury. These stop-cocks are used in gas analysis apparatus. The device shown at B in Fig. 1 consists of four, two-way stop-cocks, in one unit, each sealed by mercury under a pressure of about three centimeters. Over a period of about a year it has given satisfactory service as part of a device for obtaining aliquot samples of air. The core and shell of the mercury-sealed stop-cock were machined until a very close fit was obtained and were then run together in the lathe, well lubricated with a light grade of oil, until the parts were worn enough to permit reasonably free movement. Taper of the core is 0.003 mm per cm length. When sealed with graphite, no leaks could be found in the mercury-sealed stop-cock under pressure of 30 em of water. C. F.

Pedestrian Head Detection and Tracking Using Skeleton Graph for People Counting in Crowded Environments

This paper describes a new head detection method for people counting in crowded environments from a single camera. Our method adopts skeleton graph to distinguish person among people in crowded enviroments. The usage of skeleton graph is the main difference between this method and the traditional ones. Firstly, the skeleton graphs are calculated for each selected blob in the scene after foregro...

Counting People in Crowds with a Real-Time Network of Simple Image Sensors

Estimating the number of people in a crowded environment is a central task in civilian surveillance. Most vision-based counting techniques depend on detecting individuals in order to count, an unrealistic proposition in crowded settings. We propose an alternative approach that directly estimates the number of people. In our system, groups of image sensors segment foreground objects from the bac...

People Counting in Crowded and Outdoor Scenes using an Hybrid Multi-Camera Approach

This paper presents two novel approaches for people counting in crowded and open environments that combine the information gathered by multiple views. Multiple camera are used to expand the field of view as well as to mitigate the problem of occlusion that commonly affects the performance of counting methods using single cameras. The first approach is regarded as a direct approach and it attemp...

Vehicles detection and tracking in videos for very crowded scenes

Counting and tracking vehicles in very crowded scenes is a very challenging problem, where many products require discipline conditions to deal with. In this paper, a novel algorithm for automatically counting the number of moving vehicles and estimating their velocities and paths in regular and very crowded scenes, under different conditions, is presented. In this method, interest points are de...

Multi-Camera Monitoring of Human Activities at Critical Transportation Infrastructure Sites

The goal of this work is to provide a system which can aid in monitoring crowded urban environments, which often contain tight groups of people. In this report, we consider the problem of counting the number of people in the scene and also tracking them reliably. We propose a novel method for detecting and estimating the count of people in groups, dense or otherwise, as well as tracking them. U...
