This paper presents novel research on the development of a generic intelligent oil fraction sensor based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) data. An artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been employed as the intelligent system to sense and estimate oil fractions from the cross-sections of two-component flows comprising oil and gas in a pipeline. Previous works only focused on estimating t...

AFRL/SNRT, 26 Electronic Pkwy, Rome, NY 13441 USA Capraro Tech. Inc, 311 Turner St Utica NY 13501 USA Abstract—One can easily envision future military operations and emerging civilian requirements (e.g. intelligent unmanned vehicles for urban warfare, intelligent manufacturing plants) that will be both complex and stressing and will demand innovative sensors and sensor configurations. The goal ...

Intelligent agents can be used as a valuable asset when deployed within a wireless sensor network. Wireless sensor networks have a number of limitations, which need to be addressed before creating successful agents. These limitations include issues with energy conservation, mitigating resource limitations and wireless link availability to name a few. Middleware software can be used to overcome ...

The recent area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has brought new challenges to developers of net-work protocols. Energy consumption and network coverage are two important challenges in wireless sensor networks. We investigate intelligent techniques for node positioning to reduce energy consumption with coverage preserved in wireless sensor network. A genetic algorithm Is used to create energy...

Aiming at the characters of wireless sensor network and intelligent home alarming system, this article studied a sort of intelligent home alarming system based on wireless sensor network. Through establishing the structure frame of alarming system, in this article, we designed the sensor nodes of alarming system, put forward the hardware design methods of sensor nodes for the alarming system, d...

The re-identification problem has been commonly accomplished using appearance features based on salient points and color information. In this paper, we focus on the possibilities that simple geometric features obtained from depth images captured with RGB-D cameras may offer for the task, particularly working under severe illumination conditions. The results achieved for different sets of simple...
