Carnegie Mellon University CMU and the Sarno Corporation Sarno are performing an integrated feasibility demonstration of Video Surveillance and Monitoring VSAM The ob jective is to develop a cooperative multi sensor video surveillance system that provides contin uous coverage over battle eld areas Signi cant achievements have been demonstrated during VSAM Demo I in November and in the interveni...

We present a framework for multi-camera video surveillance. The framework consists of three phases: detection, representation, and recognition. The detection phase handles multi-source spatio-temporal data fusion for efficiently and reliably extracting motion trajectories from video. The representation phase summarizes raw trajectory data to construct hierarchical, invariant, and content-rich d...

This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...
