Wildfires cause significant economic damage and have quite devastating effect on environment all over the world. Early fire detection and quick and appropriate intervention are of vital importance for wildfire damage minimization. In both cases, video-monitoring system could be quite useful. In this paper, after a short survey of various approaches to the wildfire monitoring, particularly to te...

11 Final Remarks Thank to fruitful collaborations established with nal users and implementors, a substantial portion of our activity is devoted to transferring the technologies developed within the project into advanced prototypes and products. Areas in which our technology transfer eeort is mostly concentrated comprise: anti-intrusion systems for domestic surveillance; monitoring of critical a...

New cerebral monitoring techniques allow direct measurement of brain oxygenation and metabolism. Investigation using these new tools has provided additional insight into the understanding of the pathophysiology of acute brain injury and suggested new ways to guide management of secondary brain injury. Studies of focal brain tissue oxygen monitoring have suggested ischemic thresholds in focal re...

This paper describes advances in power quality monitoring equipment and software tools for analyzing power quality measurement results. Power quality monitoring has advanced from strictly problem solving to ongoing monitoring of system performance. The increased amount of data being collected requires more advanced analysis tools. Types of power quality variations are described and the methods ...

In a world that is increasingly reliant on automobiles, efficient management of the transportation network is a key functionality of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). A wide range of these ITS applications rely on the extraction of current data as well as historical information in order to perform appropriately. This work presents a novel computer vision based approach for traffic manag...

Axial flow compressors are subjected to demands for ever-increasing levels of pressure ratio at a compression efficiency that augments the overall cycle efficiency. However, unstable flow may develop in the compressor, which can lead to a stall or surge and subsequently to gas turbine failure resulting in significant downtime and cost to repair. To protect against these potential aerodynamic in...
