Our alarms make it possible to handle the uncertainty and imprecision that are characteristic of the medical domain, reason over the temporal evolution of physiological variables, and incorporate information from a number of variables into one single alarm. The proposal is based on a structural pattern recognition model (the MFTP model) which allows certain monitoring criteria in a computational representation to be captured and identified over the evolution of patients' physiological variables. The description of the criteria is carried out using a graphical tool (TRACE), which is sufficiently intuitive to be used by physicians without the need for assistance.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123936509","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 features are extracted from the energy of subimages of the wavelet decomposition. The GP is then used to evolve rules, which are arithmetic combinations of energy features, to identify whether a texture image belongs to certain class. Instead of using only one rule to discriminate the samples, a set of rules are used to perform the prediction by applying the majority voting technique. In our experiment results based on Brodatz dataset, the proposed method has achieved 99.6% test accuracy on an average. In addition, the experiment results also show that classification rules generated by this approach are robust to some noises on textures.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124699035","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}

Usually, the radiometric behaviour of the camera can be modelled with a polynomial function obtained from a multi- image calibration method, which analyses several pictures taken with different exposition times. In this work, a simplification of a multi-images calibration method is proposed. The method is based on the comparison of grey values of two images only, showing that obtained results are comparables to the polynomic multi-image method. The proposed method was tested with the same images used for multi-image calibration method. Exposition times were estimated without an iterative scheme. Also a method and results for distance estimation, using inverse radiometric response function, are showed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"402 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124587984","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}

Photonic crystal fibres (PCF) (Bjarklev et al., 2003) constitute a class of optical fibres that has a large potential for a number of novel applications in the sensing domain. The manufacturing flexibility of PCF allows fabricating different types of specialty microstructured fibres including endlessly single mode, double clad, germanium or rare earth doped, highly birefringent, and many other fibres with particular features. In this paper we analyse several of these and describe how they can be exploited for sensing applications. We pay particular attention to temperature and hydrostatic pressure sensitivities.

Weighted centroid localization (WCL) provides a fast and easy algorithm to locate devices in wireless sensor networks. The algorithm is derived from a centroid determination which calculates the position of devices by averaging the coordinates of known reference points. To improve the calculated position in real implementations, WCL uses weights to attract the estimated position to close reference points provided that coarse distances are available. Due to the fact that Zigbee provides the link quality indication (LQI) as a quality indicator of a received packet, it can also be used to estimate a distance from a node to reference points.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128264197","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 system consists of an RF reader carried by the mobile user, and a number of active RFID tags, disseminated at known positions in the displacement region, which regularly emit RF signals with an identification code. Upon reception of a signal, the range of the user to the corresponding tag is estimated indirectly from the received signal strength (RSSI), using a previously obtained statistical model. A computationally efficient Bayesian localization method (particle filter) is used to process the measurements and produce an estimation of the user's position. The RFID-LPS is tested empirically in a displacement region comprised of three adjacent rooms, with a total area of 250 m2, in which there are placed 21 tags. Our first results show a typical mean positioning error of 3.25 m, which compares favorably with other systems reported in the literature.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130680835","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 method finds the rotation and translation parameters of the camera with respect to an object. The major contribution of this work is in contriving a pragmatic approach for 3D pose estimation and tracking, which yielded faster computation than the original algorithm and good target tracking performance.

When it detects a moving object, the Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is controlled to be centered on this object with a high resolution. We use a method of camera-to-camera calibration, integrating zoom calibration in order to command the angles and the zoom of the PTZ camera. This method enables to take into account the intrinsic camera parameters, the 3D scene geometry and the fact that the mechanism of inexpensive camera does not fit the classical geometrical model. Finally, the results of precision and accuracy of this algorithm are highlighted on real cases to qualify subjectively the value of theses errors for more complex surveillance applications like pattern recognition or tracking.","PeriodicalId":164902,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122545380","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}
