Real-Time Multi-object Tracking with Occlusion and Stationary Objects Handling for Conveying Systems

Multiple object tracking has a broad range of applications ranging from video surveillance to robotics. In this work, we extend the application field to automated conveying systems. Inspired by tracking methods applied to video surveillance, we follow an on-line trackingby-detection approach based on background subtraction. The logistics applications turn out to be a challenging scenario for ex...

Variation of Mechanical Properties of Structural Components of Hoisting-and-Conveying and Construction Machinery under Dynamic Stresses

Dynamic force (vibration and impulse force) modifies mechanical properties and flow behavior of solid bodies. Experiments in shearing of reinforcement bars with vibration (7.9 kHz) conducted by authors and S.A. Evtjukov at the Department of Construction Machinery of SPbGASU (Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering) revealed the reduction of the static part of the...

Determination of Effective Factors on Power Requirement and Conveying Capacity of a Screw Conveyor under Three Paddy Grain Varieties

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of screw speed, inclination angle and variety on the required power, and conveying capacity of a screw conveyor. The experiment was designed with four levels of screw speed (600, 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm), five levels of inclination angle (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80°), and three levels of variety (Alikazemi, Hashemi, and Khazar). The Length, diame...
