We present a system for augmenting depth camera output using multispectral photometric stereo. The technique is demonstrated using a Kinect sensor and is able to produce geometry independently for each frame. Improved reconstruction is demonstrated using the Kinect’s inbuilt RGB camera and further improvements are achieved by introducing an additional high resolution camera. As well as qualitat...

Canes or service dogs in indoor environments are unable to provide spatial information to the Individuals with Visual Impairments (IVIs) to make them independent. An indoor navigation assistance system can provide information on the presence of any obstacles in their vicinity, the distance of separation and their direction of motion (in case of mobile objects) w.r.t the IVIs. In this paper, we ...

Biological systems have powerful inbuilt mechanisms of control intended to maintain homeostasis. Cytokines are no exception to this rule, and imbalance in cytokine activities may lead to inflammation with subsequent tissue and organ damage, altered function, and death. Balance is achieved through multiple, not mutually exclusive, mechanisms including the simultaneous production of agonist and a...

This Paper Presents the Design of Robotic Hand Control System which is multilingual and voice signal frequency based. MATLAB®’s Interactive programming Environment makes it an ideal tool for various specialized applications such as speech processing and signal processing. We have used a simple technique which matches the voice templates based upon their frequency values. The system makes use of...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a measurement-based QoS and resource management framework, CNQF (Converged Networks’ QoS Management Framework). CNQF is designed to provide unified, scalable QoS control and resource management through the use of a policy-based network management paradigm. It achieves this via distributed functional entities that are deployed to co-ordinate t...
