After removing the walls around the field, vision-based localization has become an even more interesting approach for robotic soccer. The paper discusses how removal of the wall affects the localization task in RoboCup, both for vision-based and non-visual approaches, and argues that vision-based Monte Carlo localization based on landmark features seems to cope well with the changed field setup...

This research draws upon the upper echelon theory to examine the relationship between role effectiveness of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and organizational innovative usage of information systems (IS). A large-scale sample survey was conducted in Chinese organizations. Results from 129 CIOs and senior business executives provide robust evidence about the impacts of CIO strategic role eff...

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is an innovative paradigm that promotes the advancement of science and technology to build smart environments. AmI proponents advocate an invisible technological support layer of information processing to improve the quality of life in public and private spaces. A robust AmI system requires a variety of algorithms and state of the art methodologies from the fields of ...

Background: Demographic and epidemiological shifts, as well as increasing quality control and greater emphasis on cost effectiveness are the challenges for today’s healthcare organisations.

Locate our position is one of the tasks we naturally do with our vision and our memory. However, ensuring this task in an artificial way is still a challenge for the whole community of computer vision. This paper presents a detailed literature review of pedestrian localization systems and their technologies. In the context of the visually impaired pedestrian navigation assistance, we also prese...

We present a novel method to a unique problem solved in a new way: we use vision technology to aid in the process of vision research. Specifically, we develop an innovative algorithm to determine the presence of our advisor. By creating a system that will identify when our advisor’s office door is open, we can attempt to corner him only when necessary, remaining at our desk for longer periods o...
