The creativity and innovation of most of these projects from engineering students frequently result in simple and low cost solutions. These projects involve around one thousand students from several areas of engineering of IPUC and they are exposed in the bustling fair. Both issues gained in joining the formation team to work with the challenges of the poverty and development sustainable. The creation of the group IEEE SIGTH PUC Minas was a natural way. The presentations of prototypes and research results are the main advantage of the fair. Various topics have being worked, such as, entrepreneurship including the entrepreneurship social, the accessible and assistive technology, medical technology and of the health, therefore Humanitarian Technology. Renewable resources with several kinds of applications Interdisciplinary Projects can providing to engaged students important skills of self reflection, communication with others forms of the knowledge and holistic view.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132975438","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 remote sensing imagers, especially the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in a high spatial resolution can offer a global view of the situation. Indeed, detection of flooded areas will become a challenge since the reaction time of the teams on the ground should be as short as possible. Such method should avoid a complex parameterization, large time of compilation and long intervention of the operator. An automatic method based on an unsupervised clustering done in three steps is proposed. First of all, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is used as a prior information to localize high probability of floods. Then, the separation of the wet and dry pixels is done by a method called non-linear clustering kernel k-means. Finally, to isolate the flooded pixels from the permanent water, a non linear clustering with a log ratio image is applied in the features space. Two images polarized Vertical-Vertical (VV) with a high spatial resolution from RADARSAT 2 were used in this work. The study area is localized in the South-west part of Madagascar (Toliary). The Haruna hurricane was passed in this region on February 22nd, 2013. The final result of this study is a map showing the flooded areas. Because of lack of ground truth data, we couldn't valid our result with a confusion matrix. But we have compared it with the results obtained by current methods as the manual and the color composite methods. The comparison has shown that our approach has had a good compromise on flood detection.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130820696","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 study describes the scenarios in which the extension and Project are inserted revealing the vulnerabilities and challenges faced. It is about a reference center for young people aged 15 to 17 years that promotes the strengthening of family and community ties in Justinópolis, Ribeirão das Neves, MG, welcoming community through events and thematic workshops that are planned and conducted by Power Engineering, Information Systems, Multimedia Production, Psychology and Social Services students, with reference to the university extension of PUC Minas. The research was empirical and pointed to changes so much the technical-professional formation as in the human formation of involved students. In the students perception of the integrated work with several areas generates transformation in their lives and develop skills that make them able to understand each other's needs more broadly and humanized. The students deal with different situations in one of the most vulnerable regions of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. The study sought to understand briefly the relationship of project activities and the possible convergences with the assumptions of humanitarian technology.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114483088","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}

Today's smartphones are easily programmable and come with a growing set of powerful embedded sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, microphones, and cameras. Indeed, the smartphones equipped with such miniaturized sensors will potentially reshape the future of healthcare by facilitating proactive personal wellbeing management and ubiquitous health monitoring including physiological signs and human posture observation. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a smartphone-centric software for monitoring the human posture by using the acceleration sensors which are embedded in smartphones. Additionally, an emphasis is given to interpreting the obtained data from the acceleration sensors to achieve context-awareness suitable for healthcare applications. Such the smartphone-centric monitoring softwares are also more cost-effective and less complex compared to its conventional counterparts where multiple wearable sensors are incorporated.","PeriodicalId":341818,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference - (IHTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124211077","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}
