In this paper, the positioning principle is introduced first. And the experimental system is established based on image acquisition, image transformation, threshold selection and binarization processing and identification of key placement. Tested in the indoor environment, the method can achieve characters input efficiently and accurately. And the key positioning has high accuracy, validity and reliability. So the method which has a high practical value provides a good theoretical basis for design of virtual keyboard application.展开更多

Through deduction, it can be found out that treated appraise precision can be directly analyzed and deduced without carrying out real measure and reaching estimation value. The simulation result shows that the system performance based on the weighted least square method is much better than the traditional passive location method, and it can be also used for reference to the research of the location algorithm of similar system.展开更多

The indoor or outdoor localization of such a target has been widely addressed in the literature but if a third degree of freedom like rotation has to be also taken into consideration the difficulty in estimating the target position and orientation is significantly increased. A network consisting of only a small number of low cost infrared transmitters/receivers is used in this paper to estimate the position of a mobile target on a plane as well as its draft orientation with an angular step of 45o or less. The distance and orientation estimation is based on the success rate that infrared patterns are retrieved at the target. This success rate parameter is calculated by simple ultra low cost microcontrollers. The architectural complexity and cost of the overall localization system is significantly lower than other approaches without sacrificing speed and accuracy. An error correction scheme like Turbo decoding is applied in order to increase the reliability and stability of the results by correcting burst errors introduced by real time noise.展开更多

Instead, panoramic imagery with a wide visual angle and high distinguishability is always needed. However, we can only get images for part of the scene because of the limited visual field of thermography and the large size of the measured object in practical. What is more, the hardware that can be used to get panoramic images is always expensive and cannot be used in large scale. Therefore, this paper introduces image mosaic technology, which can be used to get the intact thermal infrared image of the measured and increase the efficiency of detection. The experiment results demonstrate its effectiveness.展开更多
