For example, find the best product in two different sites according to different criteria, including numerical and non-numerical attributes (e.g. product name, price, product evaluation, customer opinion, etc.). We present a mashup between the sites eBay and Amazon to search for products according to these criteria. The integration is driven by ontology with a syntactic-semantic process. The result is the best product of the two sites according to criteria (price, user rating, delivery times and geographical location). Additionally, a map is displayed, showing the product information, not only the data related to the product, but also other geographical locations where is possible to buy products and opinions from other clients. Tests showed that including semantic processes in the product search gives better results than when using only syntactic processes.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125245451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chilli samples were provided by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority Singapore, with different concentrations of a known pesticide named profenofos. The e-nose system used in this experiment was made up of 7 different types of Figaro sensors. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fuzzy C Means (FCM) techniques were used to analyse the sensor responses obtained in the experiment. Unlike other previous methods based on multi-residue analysis, the e-nose technique here described does not require of gas chromatography techniques nor controlled laboratory conditions, and the results can be obtained within minutes. The results of the experiment show that the e-nose was able to detect and classify the different chilli samples when either data-recognition method was used.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125449730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is made calculating the mean square error of the optimal tip speed ratio and the tip speed ratio developed by each regulator, the numerical results also show the performance of the power coefficient, power extracted from a wind profile, and the operation around the optimal regime characteristic.

Although there exist some works intending to deal with these problems, most of them are based on the estimation of the epipolar geometry, non-linear optimization, or linear systems that do not incorporate geometrical consistency and may produce undesirable side-effects. In this paper, we propose a novel iterative linear algorithm that exploits the geometrical and algebraic constraints induced by rigidity and planarity in the scene. Instead of solving a complex multi-linear problem, we solve iteratively several linear problems: coplanar features segmentation, planar projective transferring, epipole computation, and all the plane intersections. Linear methods allow our approach to be suitable for real-time localization and 3D reconstruction, e.g. for autonomous mobile robots applications. Furthermore, we avoid the explicit epipolar geometry computation and all the stability problems commonly associated with it.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134519945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sliding Mode Control (SMC) effectively addresses these issues and is therefore a viable choice for controlling underwater vehicles. On the other hand, this method is known to be susceptible to chatter, which is a high frequency signal induced by the switching control. In this paper a new control methodology called Model-free High Order Sliding Modes Control (HOSMC) is introduced. HOSMC principal characteristic is that it keeps the main advantages of the standard SMC, removing the chattering effects, this advantage is achieved without model knowledge. Real time experiments in a 1 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) underwater system are conducted to show control effectiveness. Finally, a comparative study regarding PID control and conventional SMC is given.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115459503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Texture-based image block classification in Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain is also used to get watermark imperceptibility. The watermark is embedded and extracted into classified regions using the DCT domain. In the detector stage, the watermark can be obtained without the original image. The experimental results show the watermark robustness against geometric distortion such as rotation, scaling and various other Affine Transformation, and common signal processing attacks, such as JPEG compression and noise contamination.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116162261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
