This paper presents the performance evaluation of our wireless miniature Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) WB-4 by compared with the Vicon motion capture system. In particular, a magnetic field calibration method is introduced to improve the sensor orientation estimate accuracy. The WB-4 IMU primarily contains a motherboard for motion sensing, a Bluetooth module for wireless data transmission wit...

In video surveillance, there are a variety of random disturbances on moving target detection, such as trees sway, camera shake. In order to eliminate these disturbances, this paper presents a novel moving object detection algorithm based on the properties of corner points. Firstly, this paper uses Harris algorithm to detect corner on the video image, and then proposes a novel indicator, Inter-f...

This paper addresses research into the application of cooperative visual SLAM for utilization within UAVs. The research utilized a synthetic approach to examine a cooperative data fusing strategy for multiple UAVs equipped with stereo vision camera systems, where the collaborative estimation was implemented with an information filter and covariance intersection technique to investigate potentia...

Since 1977, the International Online Information Meeting (IOLIM) in London has been the most important conference for users and producers of electronic information. The organiser of the conference is Learned Information Europe Ltd, a UK-based commercial organisation. In order to measure the impact of these conferences on the library and information science literature in general, a concept of co...

Lately, I’ve been watching television, and one of the people I see on it a lot is Tina Turner. Now Tina may seem to be an odd person to introduce into a central bank conference, but her songs have titles that fit pretty well with some of the issues raised by this Conference. First up, there is the line that she belts out on television in support of the local football code, while standing on wha...
