This paper presents methods for tracking moving objects in an outdoor environment. A robust tracking is achieved using feature fusion and multiple cameras. The proposed method integrates spatial position, shape and color information to track object blobs. The trajectories obtained from individual cameras are incorporated by an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to resolve object occlusion. Our result...

here, we propose an optical filter and an optical power splitter based on two-dimensionalphotonic crystal all circular ring resonators. these structures are made of a square lattice ofsilicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive indexn2=1). first, we have designed the filter and by using that, we designed a power splitter. thetransmission efficiency and qua...

Penetration measurements through commercially available filtering facepieces were performed with monodisperse DEHS aerosols ranging from 0.03 μm to 0.40 μm (either singly charged or neutralized), before and after 500 mg of paraffin oil loading. The distinct behavior of Coulomb and polarization capture efficiency is studied: as in the case of non loading also in the case of loading 500 mg of par...

we have designed a new type of optical channel drop filter (cdf) based on two dimensionaltriangular lattice photonic crystals. cdf operation is based on coupling to the photonic crystalwaveguide. the proposed structure is optimized to work as a cdf for obtaining the cdfcharacteristics and band structure of the filter the finite difference time domain (fdtd) method andplane wave expansion (pwe) ...

In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. In designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...

In this article we describe the experimental setup of a multispectral image acquisition system consisting of a professional monochrome CCD camera and a tunable filter in which the spectral transmittance can be controlled electronically. We have performed a spectral characterisation of the acquisition system taking into account the acquisition noise. To convert the camera output signals to devic...

Filter media composed of electrostatically charged nonwovens is the key device in an air purifier. Pleated filters are constructed from a cardboard frame with lattice faces containing filter reinforce by expanded support grid, which have more surface area for trapping contaminants and capture airborne effectively than non-pleated filters. The aim this work to investigate dominant factors on fil...

A novel statistical approach for detection and tracking of objects is presented here uses both edge and color information in a particle filter. The approach does not need any prior models of the objects of interest or of the scene. It starts with homogenous regions as tracking primitives and creates complex objects by merging similar moving regions. Even partially occluded objects in a sequence...

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...
