We describe a complete system for image rectification in sport video sequences. Relying both on geometrical properties of the field elements and on photogrammetric data, we compute an estimate of the field-to-image homography either incrementally – by inter-image data processing – or “from scratch” when direct image-model correspondences are possible. Examples are given in a soccer context.

Parallel Ireatment of syntactic considerations in generation promises quality and speed. Parallelism should be used not only for simultaneous processing of several sub-parts of the output, but even within single parts. If beth types of parallelism are used with incremental generation it becomes unnecessary to build up and manipulate representations of sentence structure-the syntactic form of th...

In this work we integrate an electronic nose with a mobile robot for the purpose of detecting odor leaks in a 1-dimensional environment. The robot relies on two mechanisms, the navigational algorithms to manoeuver in the environment and its sensing mechanism to adequately represent odors and their intensities. The emphasis of the proposed odor tracking strategy is placed on the cooperation betw...

The purpose of this article is to present a novel method for region based image watermarking that can tolerate local image distortions to a substantially greater extent than existing methods. The first stage of the method relies on computing a normalized version of the original image using image moments. The next step is to extract a set of feature points that will act as centers of the waterma...

This paper proposes a way to address the quantitative description of decision strategies for expert decision-makers in order to take into account the effects of personality, emotion or mood on decision-making. Most of common taxonomies used in popular models to decribe user profiles and behaviors seem to be difficult to apply in empirical cases. Instead we propose to rely on computational model...

the goal of the study was analyzing the conceptual relationship between utopianism and education evolution. the study was conducted analytically relying on reviewing and deriving relevant targeted information. they were derived and categorized from reliable sources. to conduct this, at first it was conceptualized the utopia and then was reviewed the thoughts of the most famous utopians: plato, ...
