Manual video annotation on shot and on object level is a very time consuming and therefore cost intensive task. Automatic object and shot re-detection is one step forward in order to provide a cost efficient solution for temporally detailed video annotation. In this demonstration a tool will be shown which integrates novel video visualisation, navigation and interactive object re-detection tech...

The Context Lens (CL) is a focus+context visualization and navigation tool particularly suited for navigating large documents, or collections of documents. Context Lenses have been applied successfully to navigating Web pages, video collections and slide presentations. In this paper we discuss our experiences both with linear as well as with hierarchical Context Lenses. We focus on the use of i...

Integrated GPS/INS systems provide an enhanced navigation system that has superior performance in comparison with either system operating in stand-alone mode as it can overcome each of their limitations. The high cost and government regulations prevent the wider inclusion of high quality IMUs to augment GPS as a commercialized navigation system in many navigation applications. The progress in M...

Navigation systems play an important role in many vital disciplines. Determining the location of a user relative to its physical environment is an important part of many indoor-based navigation services such as user navigation, enhanced 911 (E911), law enforcement, location-based and marketing services. Indoor navigation applications require a reliable, trustful and continuous navigation soluti...

Current GPS technologies for satellite navigation are relatively costly, heavy, and utilize a high amount of power. This makes such systems difficult for small satellites to support. In this paper, we describe a lowcost, low-weight, low-power GPS navigation system to support smaller satellites. A key component of our solution involves our patented TIDGET-based receiver design, which takes a bri...

Communication networks and strategies for cooperative UAV swarms have received significant attention. The main problem in controlling autonomous vehicles needs some knowledge of its altitude angles. These angles can be measured in different ways, for instance, using a conventional inertial navigation system. A novel approach to deal these problems by modern Micro electro mechanical systems (MEM...

the adsorption ability of miswak (salvadora persica l.) waste was investigated for the removalof common heavy metals; pb(ii), cu(ii), ni(ii) and cd(ii), from aqueous systems. the miswak mainlyconsists of saponins, tannins, silica and resin, which are accounted for the removal of heavy metal ions fromaqueous systems. the effects of various parameters, such as solution ph, contact time, initial c...
