Optical reconfigurable demultiplexer based on Bragg grating assisted ring resonators
(08/11/2014)
A polarization independent reconfigurable optical demultiplexer with low crosstalk between adjacent channels and high number of potential allocated channels is designed on silicon on insulator technology. On to off state ...
Crosswalk detection based on laser scanning from moving vehicle
(07/22/2015)
The safety plays the most important role for both pedestrian and driver in autonomous, semi-autonomous or non-autonomous vehicle. To improve pedestrian safety, this paper presents a new type of laser feature extraction ...
Real-time flood detection for video surveillance
(11/09/2015)
This paper introduces the real-time flash flood detection method for stationary surveillance cameras. It can be applied for rural and urban areas and capable of working during day time. The background subtraction was used ...
Outdoor stairway segmentation using vertical vanishing point and directional filter
(10/13/2010)
In this paper we propose to detect the localization and recognition of outdoor stairway. This problem is the most fundamental step in solving the problem of autonomous stair climbing navigation. An autonomous system must ...
Stairway segmentation using Gabor Filter and vanishing point
