This work proposes to combine two main areas of the Artificial Intelligence which are: Computer vision and Motion Planning, to be incorporated in the area of aerial robotics through unmanned aerial robots. Our main objective is the tracking of people using the detection and tracking algorithms: HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) and Particle Filter besides integrate it with motion planning f...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the optimum design of single-phase induction motor. By using the classical design equations and the evolutionary algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO), a Single Phase Induction Motor (SPIM) was designed with the maximum efficiency. The Finite Element Method (FEM)...

Amorphous solids, such as metallic, polymeric, and colloidal glasses, display complex spatiotemporal response to applied deformations. In contrast to crystalline solids, during loading, amorphous solids exhibit a smooth crossover from elastic response to plastic flow. In this study, we investigate the mechanical response of binary Lennard-Jones glasses to athermal, quasistatic pure shear as a f...

Object tracking in video sequences is a challenging task and has various applications. We review particle filtering techniques for tracking single and multiple moving objects in video sequences, by using different features such as colour, shape, motion, edge and sound. Pros and cons of these algorithms are discussed along with difficulties that have to be overcome. Results of a particular parti...

This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule ...

‎In this paper we study the dynamics of the 2D-motion of a particle of monolayer‎. First we consider the usual physical time component and the plan manifold R2, having the polar coordinates. Then a geometric approach to nonholonomic constrained mechanical systems is applied to a problem from the two dimensional geometric dynamics of the Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer‎. We consider a constraint sub...

The Euler-Poincaré di↵erential (EPDi↵) equations are of general interest as evolution equations on Riemannian manifolds endowed with Sobolev metrics. The EPDi↵ equations describe geodesic motion on the di↵eomorphism group. The deformation between the reference and the target templates, following the path of minimum energy, satisfies the EPDi↵ equations. The EPDi↵ equations can be written as a f...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. The effect of particle size (Ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (RI) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. The relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...
