Improvements of Energy-Efficient Techniques in WSNs: A MAC-Protocol Approach
(IEEEIEEE, 10/12/2018)
The pervasiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) across different applications keeps increasing due to their versatility, although energy consumption is a huge constraint for these types of networks. Therefore, it is ...
Modelling the degradation process of lithium-ion batteries when operating at erratic state-of-charge swing ranges
(2017 4th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)2017 4th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT), 11/09/2017)
Manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries inform capacity degradation for regular, symmetrical charge/discharge cycles, which is clearly problematic in real life applications where charge/discharge cycles are hardly regular. ...
Robust lane marking detection based on multi-feature fusion
(07/06/2016)
In the field of intelligent vehicle systems (IVS), color and edge of lane markings are important features for vision-based applications. This paper proposes a method to detect lane marking based on a fusion approach which ...
Characterization of the degradation process of lithium-ion batteries when discharged at different current rates
(05/08/2018)
The use of energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, has become popular in many different domains and applications. Hence, it is relatively easy to find literature associated with problems of battery state-of-charge ...
3D motion estimation based on pitch and azimuth from respective camera and laser rangefinder sensing
(11/03/2013)
This paper proposes a new method to estimate the 3D motion of a vehicle based on car-like structured motion model using an omnidirectional camera and a laser rangefinder. In recent years, motion estimation using vision ...
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
(08/07/2011)
This paper we are proposing to detect the localization and recognition of an indoor stairway. This is a fundamental step in the implementing of autonomous stair climbing navigation, as well as the implementing of passive ...
High-Resolution Indirect Feet–Ground Interaction Measurement for Hydraulic-Legged Robots
(10/01/2009)
Feet-ground interactions influence the legged robot's stability. In this paper, a high-resolution indirect force measurement for hydraulic-legged robots is presented. The use of pressure transducers placed at one or both ...
