The control synthesis is a multi-objective optimization problem where minimization objectives are deviations of temperature and degree of cure within a cured part, considering constraints imposed by thermo-kinetic properties of prepreg and manufacturing requirements. The control should eliminate the formation of early hard skin, resin-rich or resin-dry areas, insufficient consolidation, and uneven cure. Such a purpose can be achieved through uniform distribution of temperature and degree of cure within the cured structure. The optimization procedure, including the formulation of the cure problem and the finite element implementation where correct timing of heating-up and maintaining isothermal, is illustrated by an example of the shell-like composite structure manufactured by means of two-stage curing in an autoclave. The technique developed allows estimating the best achievable quality indicators of composite parts, finding key parameters of the control law, and considering all imposed constraints for decision-making.","PeriodicalId":175283,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132843672","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}

In this study, in order to get stereo-vision information, the panoramic image capturing module uses wide-angle lens to obtain more overlapped areas of images. Overlapped areas are used to calculate the disparity of captured image in stereo-vision system. However, images become distortion when using wide-angle lens, the image distortion increases the difficulties of the disparity calculation and the panoramic image stitching. Therefore, the distortion correction procedure is necessary.","PeriodicalId":175283,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132544497","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}

It is a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique to conduct the operation only through small incisions. The advantages of MIS include smaller incisions, less bleeding and shorter recovery time. However, surgeons can only perform laparoscopic surgery through the video from a laparoscope and surgical instruments. This may increase the complication and difficulties while fulfilling MIS. Therefore, before conducting the real operation, surgeons are required to receive multiple related trainings to improve their surgical skills, especially in stabilization and hand-eye coordination. These skills can be estimated by analyzing the paths of the surgical instruments while simulating the operation processes. Besides, the locating information of surgical instruments can be utilized for simulating virtual reality training applications. Herein, the objective of this paper is to develop an image-based instruments locator. The system comprises a stereo camera, two surgical instruments with passive markers, and a FPGA development board. The instant location of the markers can be determined based on proposed image processing framework. The errors of the provided locating method can reach to 0.21±0.17 cm in X axis, 0.10±0.10 cm in Y axis, and 0.29±0.22 cm in Z axis.","PeriodicalId":175283,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114863389","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}

For the moving objects appearing in the margin of the video frame, it is considered as a new unit (person). For the new considered unit, a new particle filter is established and designated to track the new unit. Once the tracked unit leaves the video frame, the corresponding particle filter will be terminated. Moreover, the Kalman filter is applied to track the units when they are occluded.
