Face recognition system have been widely developed. The machine vision system becomes an interest of many researchers in various fields of science. It provides the most important characteristic of natural interaction that is personalization. Automatic face recognition is a challenging problem, since human faces have a complex pattern. This paper presents a method for recognition of frontal huma...

Nearly 20% of total energy consumption in the United States is accounted for in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Smart sensing and adaptive energy management agents can greatly decrease the energy usage of HVAC systems in many building applications, for example by enabling the operator to shut off HVAC to unoccupied rooms. We implement a multi-modal sensor agent that i...

Security at the door is very important for everyone. because acts as access to enter or exit a private room. Therefore, key security plays an role in implementing system. With frequent occurrence of loss and also rise increasingly sophisticated crime rates breaking into destroying conventional keys, it becomes thought author develop system that more nature. That by using application expected be...

parcel delivery is a complex logistic service, as it serves many small or medium-sized customers who may send or receive parcels. modeling such delivery system needs to integrate two different research areas of hub location and vehicle routing. as it totally depends on the network and the linkage of the nodes, in this paper, some door-to-door service providers are taken into account to provide ...

The paper describes an approach for recognizing a person entering a room using only door accelerations. The approach analyzes the acceleration signal in time and frequency domain. For each domain two types of methods were developed: (i) feature-based – use features to describe the acceleration and then uses classification method to identify the person; (ii) signal-based – use the acceleration s...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate pre- and intraoperative practices adopted by medical and nursing teams for the prevention of surgical infections. METHOD A prospective study carried out in the period of April to May 2013, in a surgical center of a university hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. RESULTS 18 surgeries were followed and 214 surgical gloves were analyzed, of which 23 (10.7%) had postoper...

Enhancing perception of the local environment with semantic information like the room type is an important ability for agents acting in their environment. Such high-level knowledge can reduce the effort needed for, e.g., object detection. This paper shows how to extract the room label from a small amount of room percepts taken from a certain view point (like the door frame when entering the roo...
