LOG ( Laplacian of Gaussian ) operator is adopted to detect image edge. Vgroove center is extracted by corner detection of extremum curvature. Subpixel position is obtained by Lagarange polynomial interpolation algorithm. Experiment results show that the method is brief and applied, and is sufficient for the real time of robot welding by laser sensors.展开更多

WSN has been used in many applications such habitat monitoring, building monitoring, smart grid and pipeline monitoring. In addition, few researchers have been experimenting with WSN in many mission-critical applications such as military applications. This paper surveys the literature for experimenting work done in border surveillance and intrusion detection using the technology of WSN. The potential benefits of using WSN in border surveillance are huge;however, up to our knowledge very few attempts of solving many critical issues about this application could be found in the literature.展开更多

The human burden on the coast becomes a problem, both because erosion makes the cliffs unstable and because pollution increases, making the fragile dune ecosystem difficult to preserve. It is becoming necessary to increase the control of access to beaches, even if it is not a popular measure for internal and external tourism. The methodology described can also be used to monitor maritime borders. The use of images acquired in the infrared range guarantees active surveillance both day and night, the main objective being to mimic the infrared cameras already installed in some critical areas along the coastline. Using a series of infrared photographs taken at low angles with a modified camera and appropriate filter, a recent deep learning algorithm with the right training can simultaneously detect and count whole people at close range and people almost completely submerged in the water, including partially visible targets, achieving a performance with F1 score of 0.945, with 97% of targets correctly identified. This implementation is possible with ordinary laptop computers and could contribute to more frequent and more extensive coverage in beach/border surveillance, using infrared cameras at regular intervals. It can be partially automated to send alerts to the authorities and/or the nearest lifeguards, thus increasing monitoring without relying on human resources.展开更多

Nfifikh forest is a man-made space, located in suburban of Mohammedia City, belonging to Casablanca, Settat Region, and geographically between Casablanca, the economic and business Capital of Morocco and Rabat, the national political capital. Over the past three decades, it has experienced several significant degradations. The aim of this study is to evaluate and quantify the deforestation within the study area using a forest cover change detection of various vegetation indices and subpixel classification to pick out high density plots with Landsat images TM, ETM+ and OLI. Remote sensing is used to highlight the changes caused through Space-Time. This monitoring might help managers to generate forest management plans and to moderate the speed of deforestation and degradation. The results show a significant change in vegetation cover detected between 1987 and 2015. The Density increased in 2001 while it decreased considerably in 2015.展开更多

However, it ishardly applied in the field of daily ceramic detection due to the following twokey reasons: (1) Low detection accuracy as a result of ceramic glare, and (2) Lackof efficient detection algorithms. To tackle these problems, a homomorphic filtering based anti-glare ceramic decals defect detection technique is proposed in thispaper. Considering that smooth ceramic surface usually causes glare effects andleads to low detection results, in our approach, the ceramic samples are takenin low light environment and their luminance and details restored by a homomorphic filtering based image enhancement technique. With relatively high quality preprocessed images, an effective ceramic decal defect detection algorithm isthen designed to rapidly locate those out-of-bounds defects and further estimatetheir size. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme could achieveits desired performance.展开更多

Traditionally, the luminal border and medial-adventitial border are traced manually. This process is extremely time-consuming and the subjective difference would be large. In this paper, a new automated contour detection method is introduced based on fast active contour model. Experimental results found that lumen and vessel area measurements after automated detection showed good agreement with manual tracings with high correlation coefficients (0.94 and 0.95, respectively) and small system difference (-0.32 and 0.56, respectively). So it can be a reliable and accurate diagnostic tool.展开更多
