multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. in this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. we have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. in the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (svm) person-specific classifie...

There is an inherent tracking-oscillations trade-off problem in Perturb and Observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for photovoltaic (PV) system. Higher perturbation step-size increases the tracking speed at the cost of greater oscillations around maximum power point (MPP); whereas, smaller step-size slows down the tracking while reducing the oscillations around MPP. In this...

The speed limit changes frequently throughout the transportation network, due to either safety (e.g., change in geometry) or congestion management (e.g., speed harmonization systems). Any abrupt reduction in the speed limit can create a shockwave that propagates upstream in traffic. Dealing with such an abrupt reduction in speed limit is particularly important while designing control laws for a...

A new visible light road-to-vehicle communication system at intersections is proposed for the area of ITS. In this system, the communication between a vehicle and an LED traffic light is conducted using an LED traffic light as a transmitter, and an on-vehicle high-speed camera as a receiver. The LEDs in the transmitter emit light in high frequency and those emitting LEDs are captured by the hig...

Encoding of movement kinematics in Purkinje cell simple spike discharge has important implications for hypotheses of cerebellar cortical function. Several outstanding questions remain regarding representation of these kinematic signals. It is uncertain whether kinematic encoding occurs in unpredictable, feedback-dependent tasks or kinematic signals are conserved across tasks. Additionally, ther...

Most of the eye tracking devices is based on computer vision imaging systems. This paper presents a complete system for eye tracking through avoiding the restrictions that are caused due to the head movements. The Viola-Jones algorithm, in combination with Kalman Filtering, is utilized for detecting and tracking the face. The Viola –Jones-based eye tracker that is employed here offers eye track...

This article aims to design a kind of gripping-belt speed automatic tracking system of traditional Chinese herbal harvester by AT89C52 single-chip micro computer as a core combined with fuzzy PID control algorithm. The system can adjust the gripping-belt speed in accordance with the variation of the machine’s operation, so there is a perfect matching between the machine operation speed and the ...

in this paper, a control strategy is proposed for control of ankle movement on animals using intraspinal microstimulation (isms). the proposed method is based on fuzzy logic control. fuzzy logic control is a methodology of intelligent control that mimics human decision-making process. this type of control method can be very useful for the complex uncertain systems that their mathematical model ...

Automated tracking of animal movement allows analyses that would not otherwise be possible by providing great quantities of data. The additional capability of tracking in realtime— with minimal latency—opens up the experimental possibility of manipulating sensory feedback, thus allowing detailed explorations of the neural basis for control of behavior. Here we describe a new system capable of t...

In this paper we present a self-stabilizing program for solving a pursuer-evader problem in sensor networks. The program can be tuned for tracking speed or energy efficiency. In the program, sensor motes close to the evader dynamically maintain a “tracking” tree of depth that is always rooted at the evader. The pursuer, on the other hand, searches the sensor network until it reaches the trackin...
