Image filtering and image warping are considered to be the most common methods of image processing. Within image filtering, these operations are carried out to aid the altering or enhancing an image to either remove specific features or highlight features of interest within the image. These operations are generally carried out in the pre-processing stage and can have very positive results on the quality of feature extraction and the results of image analysis. This paper aims to give a brief overview of some popular image filtering operations, focusing on edge detection filters, smoothing filters and the advantages of greyscale over colour images.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129691573","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 information is made available to the vehicles in either a single hop i.e., directly through Access Point or through multi-hops via some intermediate CV. While the single hop is reliable but leads to large overhead; the multi hop communications preserve resources but suffer from higher delays and reduced link stabilities. In this paper, a novel transmission approach has been proposed which combines the benefits of both the aforementioned techniques while avoiding their limitations. The proposed scheme considers the received SINR by CVs to decide the best topology of the network in a given scenario. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme successfully achieves a balance between the performance of single hop and the resource utilization of dual hop transmission. It is able to achieve a Coverage Probability (CP) of 0.66 as compared to the best case of 0.84 with single hop transmission while utilizing only 80% of the resources as used by the single hop transmission. It has been shown that even with 40% of resource utilization, proposed algorithm performs better than the dual hop transmission by approximately 74%.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116173189","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}

Triage-tags depict the classes of the medical emergency of victims using specific colors. The traditional triage-tags are made of paper and the triage color is permanently printed on the tags before the actual use. Using paper tags has many limitations, e.g. it is not easy to upgrade or down-grade the triage classes when a patient's condition changes. The triage-tags of the proposed solution are novel electronic devices with enhanced capabilities, including Bluetooth connectivity, aiming at replacing the legacy paper cards. These devices can emit light in different frequencies (so in different colors) and can be controlled using Bluetooth enabled devices such as computers or smartphones. The devices are also equipped with NFC passive tags, enabling the fast and easy connectivity with the computers/smartphones, but also the unique identification of victims. The process followed consists of three steps and requires no technical knowledge from the medical personnel: a) scanning the NFC tag attached to the device (in order to retrieve its unique identification), b) discovering and connecting to the device (using Bluetooth technology) and c) changing the emitted color (by sending the proper commands). The first prototype of this novel solution has been evaluated by emergency personnel and the preliminary results shows that the proposed system improves and simplifies the triage and victims identification procedures and enables the re-triaging of victims.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"772 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120878663","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}

To evaluate the experimental results, a computational model was developed to simulate flow dynamics inside the SCC and measure the sensor output due to the SCC movement.
