A typical way to update map is to compare recent satellite images with existing map data, detect new roads and add them as cartographic entities to the road layer. At present image processing and pattern recognition are not robust enough to automate the image interpretation system feasible. For this reason we have to develop an image interpretation system that rely on human guidance. More impor...

With the advances in integration of different units such as I/O controllers and network interfaces in a single chip, Intel introduced the low power EP80579 embedded processor. This processor is the first IA based system-on-chip (SoC) with an IA-32 processor core, North and South Bridges, and integrated Accelerator and network interface. In this paper we will show main steps to design a real-tim...

There is a strong and optimistic commitment by all staff to the school improvement strategy and a clear belief that further improvement is possible. Teachers take responsibility for the changes in their practice required to achieve school targets and are using data on a regular basis to monitor the effectiveness of their own efforts to meet those targets. The school has developed an agenda for ...

In this paper, we propose a semiautomatic road extraction scheme that is based on template matching and optimization by Hopfield neural network. In the semiautomatic way, a road is extracted automatically after a series seed points have been given coarsely by the operator through a convenient interactive image-graphics interface. Attending to accuracy, robustness, speed and interactivity, we us...

This paper proposes an airborne behaviour monitoring methodology of ground vehicles based on a statistical learning approach with domain knowledge given by road map information. To monitor and track the moving ground target using UAVs aboard a moving target indicator, an interactive multiple model (IMM) filter is firstly applied. The IMM filter consists of an on-road moving mode using a roadcon...

Visibility distance on the road pathway plays a significant role in road safety and in particular, has a clear impact on the choice of speed limits. Visibility distance is thus of importance for road engineers and authorities. While visibility distance criteria are routinely taken into account in road design, only a few systems exist for estimating it on existing road networks. Most existing sy...

the vehicle driving comfort has become one of the important factors of vehicle quality and receives increasing attention. in this paper, optimal points of vehicle suspension parameters are generated using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) for pareto optimization of 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model considering three conflicting functions simultaneously. in thi...
