This work presents a new highly automated artificial vision inspection (AVI) tool for real-time defect detection and classification on circular knitting machines based on the combination of statistical analysis, Image Processing and Radon Transform. The tool (software + hardware) is directly attached to a circular knitting machine and the inspection is performed on-line. The automatic inspectio...

We present a system for recognising human behaviour given a symbolic representation of surveillance videos. The input of our system is a set of time-stamped short-term behaviours, that is, behaviours taking place in a short period of time — walking, running, standing still, etc — detected on video frames. The output of our system is a set of recognised long-term behaviours — fighting, meeting, ...

Recent research has shown that MT-based sentence alignment is a robust approach for noisy parallel texts. However, using Machine Translation for sentence alignment causes a chicken-and-egg problem: to train a corpus-based MT system, we need sentence-aligned data, and MT-based sentence alignment depends on an MT system. We describe a bootstrapping approach to sentence alignment that resolves thi...

a transversely isotropic half-space with axis of material symmetry perpendicular to the free surface supports a flexible circular plate. the contact area of the plate and the half-space is considered to be both frictionless and unbonded (tensionless). the foundation is affected by a vertical static axisymmetric load. detailed analysis of the interaction of these two systems is the target of thi...
