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 ...
State-of-charge estimation to improve decision making by MAC protocols used in WSNs
(IET, 02/07/2019)
Energy conservation is a topic of great interest in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Various techniques have been proposed to minimise the energy consumption. One approach is to design medium access control (MAC) protocols ...
Smoke detection for static cameras
(01/28/2015)
This paper describes the smoke detection for static cameras. The background subtraction was used to determine moving objects. Color characteristics were utilized to distinguish smoke regions and other scene members. Separate ...
Improvements of Energy-Efficient Techniques in WSNs: A MAC-Protocol Approach
(IEEE, 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), 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. ...
Frame retransmission using a modified VST-TDMA access protocol in Picocell/WPAN
(2017 IEEE 9th Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM), 12/28/2017)
The VST-TDMA access protocol has shown to have many advantages over existing protocols in centralized (star) wireless network architectures. As most data-link layer protocols, it does not have a recovery feature as data ...
Laser scanner based heading angle and distance estimation
(03/17/2013)
Towards autonomous vehicle navigation the problem of guidance is a major difficulty faced by fully autonomous vehicle. This paper proposes a new method to estimate the heading angle for safe autonomous navigation purpose. ...
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 ...
Stairway tracking based on automatic target selection using directional filters
(02/09/2011)
In 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 ...
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 ...
