We present a method for booting a PowerPC r © Linux r © kernel on an embedded machine. To do this, we supply the kernel with a compact attened-tree representation of the system's hardware based on the device tree supplied by Open Firmware on IBM r © servers and Apple r © Power Macintosh r © machines. The blob representing the device tree can be created using dtc the Device Tree Compiler that tu...

Multiwavelength observations of high energy flare in 1996 from 3C 279 seems to favour the so called mirror model between different inverse Compton scattering models proposed as a possible explanation of gamma-ray emission in blazars. We performed kinematic analysis of the relativistic blob mirror system and found that only part of the mirror located very close to the jet axis (very likely insid...

In this paper we describe a surveillance system that is not only able to detect blobs and track them but also determines if a blob is a person. The given blob is segmented into sub-regions. A person model is fit to these regions such that a likelihood measure is maximized. The likelihood measure depends on the number of identified body parts, their length, location, and aspect ratio. The method...

This paper investigates the combined use of ambient and wearable sensing for inferring changes in patient behaviour patterns. It has been demonstrated that with the use of wearable and blob based ambient sensors, it is possible to develop an effective visualization framework allowing the observation of daily activities in a homecare environment. An effective behaviour modelling method based on ...

The blob detection methods plays the vital role in the various image processing models. The blob detection models are utilized for the localization of the visible objects in the given images in order to understand the type and size of the objects. The blob detection can be utilized for the classification, categorization and other purposes in the image processing models. In the proposed model, t...

This paper proposes an object detection method using the methods of variable size blob detection along with feature stability. The objective of this algorithm is for detecting variable size and variable shape objects without the use in preceding information of the object of interest. Process of the algorithm constructs a scalespace tree from blobs detected from a series of images after blurring...

The recollement approach to the representation theory of sequences of algebras is extended to pass basis information directly through the globalisation functor. The method is hence adapted to treat sequences that are not necessarily towers by inclusion, such as symplectic blob algebras (diagram algebra quotients of the type-C̃ Hecke algebras). By carefully reviewing the diagram algebra construct...

In this paper, a new approach to real-time people segmentation through processing images captured by an infrared camera is introduced. The approach starts detecting human candidate blobs processed through traditional image thresholding techniques. Afterwards, the blobs are refined with the objective of validating the content of each blob. The question to be solved is if each blob contains one s...

An experimental determination of the mean vortex velocity in superconductors mostly relies on the measurement of flux-flow resistance with magnetic field, temperature, or driving current. In the present work we introduce a method combining conventional transport measurements and a frequency-tuned flashing pinning potential to obtain reliable estimates of the vortex velocity. The proposed device...
