we have applied an automatic interpretation method of potential data called an-eul in unexploded ordnance (uxo) prospective which is indeed a combination of the analytic signal and the euler deconvolution approaches. the method can be applied for both magnetic and gravity data as well for gradient surveys based upon the concept of the structural index (si) of a potential anomaly which is relate...

Automatic video-based vehicle detection is one of the main research topics in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and is a key element for automatic traffic surveillance systems. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been increasingly applied to an automatic video-based vehicle detection and a road scene analysis because of their remarkable performance in prediction accuracy. The property of...

quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

An approach for the semi-automatic extraction of roads from high-resolution satellite imagery is proposed. Scale space, Edge-detection techniques are used as pre-processing for segmentation and estimation of road width. The detection of road is based on the cost minimization technique. The cost is estimated by taking various factors into consideration like variance, direction, length and width ...

Dense point clouds can be collected efficiently from large areas using mobile laser scanning (MLS) technology. Accurate MLS data can be used for detailed 3D modelling of the road surface and objects around it. The 3D models can be utilised, for example, in street planning and maintenance and noise modelling. Utility poles, traffic signs, and lamp posts can be considered an important part of roa...

• Road-pavement surface monitoring, distresses classification and measurement. Comparison of crowdsensing-based monitoring technologies visual inspections. Efficiency effectiveness road-pavement surveys for optimal maintenance. Pavement-surface characteristics should be considered during road maintenance safe comfortable driving. A detailed up-to-date report network conditions is required to op...

in this article, a new method for fusion of high resolution optical and radar data for higher quality road extraction is presented. the proposed methodology consists of two stages of separate road detection from each data and knowledge based fusion of results. neural networks are separately applied on high resolution ikonos and terrasar-x images for road detection, using a variety of texture pa...

The automatic detection of road cracks is important in a lot of countries to quantify the quality of road surfaces and to determine the national roads that have to be improved. Many methods have been proposed to automatically detect the defects of road surface and, in particular, cracks: with tools of mathematical morphology, neuron networks or multiscale filter. These last methods are the most...

Pedestrian protection systems will become an essential safety function in future vehicles, as the EU governments will force automotive manufacturer to improve pedestrian safety within the next few years. For such systems the ability to recognise pedestrians is mandatory. Other applications like PreCrash or Automatic Emergency Break systems require a reliable tracking of vehicles close to the ow...
