This system allows blind users a safe guided navigation with quick and low computational complexity. The chosen methodological approach divides the system in two stages: one offline and another online. In offline stage the indoor mapping is made through construction of markers to generate a contextual database that increases the quality of location indication. The online stage, where the indoor navigation is performed, is based on the proximity method, visual pattern recognition, odometry, and ultrasonic perception of barriers. Results showed rates of over 90.0% of the recognition of RF and visual markers with time of 0.4 seconds, as well as over 95.0% of positive ultrasonic perception of obstacles.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125415014","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 estimated depth information is used as weighting values in the dark channel prior (DCP)-in the defogging process. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully remove foggy components in the image without color distortion.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116110005","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 capacitive coupling wireless power transfer can replace a conventional inductive coupling wireless power transfer because it has no electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, the capacitive coupling wireless power transfer has limitation on charging electric vehicles due to too small coupling capacitance. Therefore, the new capacitive wireless power transfer uses glasses with a dielectric layer in a vehicle. The area and dielectric permittivity of glasses in the vehicle is large so the large coupling capacitance can be obtained. In addition, a switching loss of power conversion circuit is reduced by a LLC resonant operation with an impedance transformation. As results, the proposed capacitive power transfer can transfer large power and have good efficiency. A 1.2kW prototype is designed to verify operation and features of the proposed system and it has the 94% high efficiency in 1.2kW output power.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"27 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121005023","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}
