We used MATLAB to code the detector and a purposely designed function for the prediction phase, necessary for detecting static gestures in the way we have defined them. We performed a number of experiments with different datasets to evaluate the performances of the model in different situations: a basic hand gestures dataset with four gestures performed by the combination of both hands, a dataset where the actors wear skin-like color clothes while performing the gestures, a dataset where the actors wear light-blue gloves and a dataset similar to the first one but with the camera placed close to the operator. The same tests have been conducted in a situation where also the face of the operator was detected by the algorithm, in order to improve the prediction accuracy. Our experiments show that the best model accuracy and Fl-Score are achieved by the complete model without the face detection. We tested the model in real-time, achieving good performances that can lead to real-time human-robot interaction, being the inference time around 0.2 seconds.","PeriodicalId":396967,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116975959","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 is based on two Time-Of-Flight (TOF) cameras for 3D acquisition. The point clouds are registered in a common reference system, and human and robot recognition are then implemented. Human recognition is performed using a customized version of the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) algorithm. Robot recognition is achieved using a procedure based on the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm. Two safety strategies have been developed. The first one is based on the definition of suitable comfort zones of both the operator and the robot; the second implements virtual barriers between the operator and the robot. The vision system has been characterized in terms of (i) human and robot recognition performance, (ii) correctness of the detection of safety situations and (iii) evaluation of the time delays in the detection. The results show that the human operator is robustly recognized provided that he moves frontally with respect to the TOF cameras and the robot is always recognized. The safety situations are always identified correctly with an average time delay of 0.86 0.63 s (k=1).","PeriodicalId":396967,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122663618","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}

One of them is the WASPLab automated platform, commercialized by COPAN Italia S.p.A., which combines growth detection capabilities with high levels of automation and connectivity, in compliance with Industry 4.0 principles. In this paper, we describe a study carried out on a system, whose operation relies on impedance measurements, to evaluate the possibility of its integration to the WASPLab. This integration would provide a larger quantity of data about bacterial growth to the user and would optimize analysis process. By using this system, we observed the growth of S. aureus in Petri dishes, while they were directly inside one of the WASPLab incubators. System provided enough information to successfully detect bacterial growth with detection time equal to three, four and a half, and six hours when initial pathogen concentration was in the order of 4.5... 108 CFU ml, 4.5... 107 CFU ml, and 4.5... 106 CFU/ml, respectively. Results highlight that the measuring system could work together with the WASPLab, enhancing its monitoring performances, connectivity, and flexibility. This contributes to the realization of an architecture compliant with the model of the Factory of the Future.","PeriodicalId":396967,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132459446","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}

There are many studies that identify the activity or behavior with using the various sensors, but many of them could only identify rough activities, and some studies badly infringe on privacy. In this study, we propose a micro-behavior sensing system with Kinect sensor. To reduce the invasion of privacy with Camera device like Kinect sensor, our system identifies the micro-behavior by using features only extracted from the skeleton data. We deployed our system to actual Smart Home in Nara Institute of Science and Technology Japan. Then we conducted an experiment during 15 days to collect actual daily activities and confirmed the identification accuracy of the micro-behaviors related to the cooking activity, such as picking up a seasoning, cutting, mixing, washing etc. In the paper, 5 main micro-behaviors are considered.
