The Sounding Analog Retrieval System (SARS) is a forecasting algorithm that uses sounding derived parameters to find historical severe weather events using a database of proximity soundings associated with a particular type of severe weather. From these matches, SARS arrives at probabilistic forecasts of the severe phenomenon. SARS finds analog matches based on a short list of thermodynamic and...

This paper presents a multicamera Visual Room (ViRoom). It is constructed from low-cost digital cameras and standard computers running on Linux. Software based synchronized image capture is introduced. A fully automatic self-calibration method for multiple cameras and without any known calibration object is proposed and verified by 3D reconstruction experiments. This handy calibration allows an...

There are increasing applications that require precise calibration of cameras to perform accurate measurements on objects located within images, and an automatic algorithm would reduce this time consuming calibration procedure. The method proposed in this article uses a pattern similar to that of a chess board, which is found automatically in each image, when no information regarding the number...

In this thesis, work regarding to autonomous robot soccer software development is presented. The work covers color calibration, object detection and robot localization topics. Novel YUV color space based method for the automation of color calibration is proposed. Detailed description of automatic color calibration technique implementation is provided along with the visual results illustrating p...

Abstract Accurate sensor calibration is a prerequisite for autonomous vehicles' multi-sensor perception. Even though there are many open-source projects related to calibration, most designed specific or application scenario. To this end, we propose OpenCalib, toolbox with rich set of methods driving vehicles. OpenCalib covers the commonly used sensors, including LiDAR, Camera, IMU, Rad...

Charge-Based Capacitance Measurement (CBCM) technique is a simple but effective for measuring capacitance values down to the attofarad level. However, when adopted fully on-chip implementation, this suffers output offset caused by mismatches and process variations. This paper introduces novel method that compensates of integrated differential CBCM electronic front-end. After detailed theoretica...
