of 100-150 words should also be included and should contain factual information rather than a general description of the manuscript contents. Tables should be typed, double-spaced, one to a page, and numbered. Their relative placement in the text should be noted. All figures should be in camera-ready form. Biographical sketches should include name, institutional affiliation, recent publications...

This paper details the design, creation, and deployment of two low-cost range sensing devices for mobile robot platforms. The first is a set of sonars individually mounted on servo motors. These sensors’ angular coverage allows for effective obstacle avoidance, but does not provide precise surface placement due to sonar’s well-understood conical response window. An inexpensive laser range finde...

technology advancement improves the way we interact with computer systems. keyboard, mouse, and touchpad provide an easier and more natural way of interaction with a computer system. nowadays, by introducing low cost and high performance depth cameras like kinect and xtion, new opportunities are available for creating even more natural interfaces. in this paper, a new model was demonstrated for...

To evaluate whether simultaneous metallic stent (MS) placement and radiotherapy are feasible, phantom and animal experiments were performed. The interface dose by external irradiation (EI) or intracavity irradiation (II) to 5 kinds of MS was measured using the charge-coupled device (CCD) camera with a thermoluminescent (TL) sheet, and backscatter and absorption were evaluated using composite me...

High-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) imagery with accuracy better than 10 cm open new possibilities in geosciences and engineering. The accuracy of such DSMs depends on the number and distribution of ground control points (GCPs). Placing and measuring GCPs are often the most time-consuming on-site tasks in a UAV project. Safety or accessibility conc...

This paper is a summary of a student internship with English Heritage's Photogrammetric Unit. During this placement affordable solutions for heritage close-range photogrammetric measurement were examined. Topcon's Image Surveying Station PI-3000 photogrammetric software was used on a project to record carvings found on one of the stones at Stonehenge. Analysis of this carving (and others) is es...

With the recent growing usage of bio-fuels need for fire detection in outdoor bio-fuel depots has increased, and several technologies this purpose have been proposed. We consider use thermal cameras present problem designing placement such cameras. Bio-fuel are often large it might be prohibitively expensive to surveil complete areas interest, is therefore required generate compromise solutions...

2D images can be used to capture food intake data in nutrition studies. Estimates of volume from these are required for nutrient analysis. Although 3D image is possible, it not commonplace. Additionally, studies often require multiple taken by non-expert users, typically collected using mobile phones, due their convenience. Current approaches restricted the need prescribed camera placement, met...

Camera traps are widely used to collect information on the distribution and abundance of multiple species simultaneously. However, we still lack important guidance for designing camera-trap surveys monitor species, consequences species-specific responses survey design strategies often overlooked. Using data collected ten medium-to-large North-American carnivores in northern Minnesota, USA, betw...

Abstract Automated Fibre Placement is a common manufacturing technique for composite parts in the aero-space industry. Therefore, visual part inspection required which often covers up to 50% of actual production time. Moreover, quality this manual step fluctuates significantly. A camera-based automated inline capable increasing efficiency and accuracy. However, interpretability acquired data st...
