Throughout a lifetime of operation, a mobile service robot needs to acquire, store and update its knowledge of a working environment. This includes the ability to identify and track objects in different places, as well as using this information for interaction with humans. This paper introduces a long-term updating mechanism, inspired by the modal model of human memory, to enable a mobile robot...

The event display in FairRoot is based on the Eve (Event Visualization Environment) package in ROOT [3]. Combined with trajectory visualization in FairRoot, the event display can be used directly from macro to display TGeoTracks (MC Tracks), Monte Carlo points and hits, together with the detector geometry. The FairEventManager implemented in FairRoot deliver an easy way to navigate through the ...

In cells, ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-driven motor proteins, both cytoskeletal and nucleic acid-based, operate on their corresponding 'tracks', that is, actin, microtubules or nucleic acids, by converting the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work. During each mechanochemical cycle, a motor proceeds via several nucleotide states, characterized by different affinities for the 't...

Redundant data from independent over-thehorizon radar systems can increase track accuracy by providing more independent "looks" at the target. With proper geometry, complementary radar systems can aid in resolving uncertainties in the coordinate registration through the various ionospheric modes. Systematic positional differences between tracks from the separate radars can be used to improve th...

This paper reports the results of the SHREC’14 track: Retrieval and classification on textured 3D models, whose goal is to evaluate the performance of retrieval algorithms when models vary either by geometric shape or texture, or both. The collection to search in is made of 572 textured mesh models, having a two-level classification based on geometry and texture. Together with the dataset, a tr...

In this paper we report the results of the SHREC 2014 track on automatic location of landmarks used in manual anthropometry. The track has been organized to test the ability of modern computational geometry/pattern recognition techniques to locate accurately reference points used for tape based measurement. Participants had to locate six specific landmarks on human models acquired with a struct...

Emerging new behavioral monitoring and tracking technologies that use camera networks offer unprecedented capabilities for health-care monitoring. A challenging problem is to track people through very sparse sensor measurements to reduce the cost of expensive sensors and be robust to sensor failure. In this paper we propose a Coupled State Space Model (CSSM) to track people across camera networ...

The conventional monostatic SAR shows a limitation of achieving a high azimuth (angular) resolution if a forward-looking geometry is used [1]-[2]. One problem of the forward-looking configuration is that the differences in the Doppler frequencies of adjacent terrain points in the along-track direction are much smaller than the differences in the Doppler frequencies of adjacent terrain points in...

Abstract Dynamic wheel–rail contact forces induced by a severe form of wheel tread damage have been measured impact load detector during full-scale field tests at different vehicle speeds. Based on laser scanning, the three-dimensional geometry is employed in simulations dynamic vehicle–track interaction to calibrate and verify simulation model. The relation between magnitude various operationa...

The Concurrent Track Evolution method, which was introduced in a previous paper [1], has been further explored by applying it to the propagation of track candidates into an inhomogeneous magnetic field volume equipped with tracking detectors, as is typical for forward B spectrometers like HERA-B or LHCb. Compared to the field-free case, the method was extended to three-dimensional propagation, ...
