A real-time warning method was applied using an image fused from a coloured video, an IR sensor data and mm-wave radar measurements. This paper focuses on the FM-CW mm-wave radar sensor and the associated antennas, working at 94 GHz. Flight tests were conducted in order to detect power lines. Thanks to two different antennas, power line response was measured in vertical and horizontal polarizations. Maximum detection ranges are of 800 and 600m respectively. This variation comes from the antenna gain difference. Radar resolution is limited by the allocated bandwidth at 94 GHz which is 200 MHz. Comparisons were conducted on the ground with an integrated FM-CW radar working at 77 GHz and achieving 500 MHz bandwidth","PeriodicalId":415827,"journal":{"name":"2006 9th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127904699","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}

Due to this fact, mobile face recognition will gain popularity in identifying persons e.g. in order to prevent unauthorized use or access to data and equipment. In this paper, the feature based face localization and recognition system FaceScry is presented. In spite of the limited resources available on mobile devices, FaceScry is able to localize an arbitrary number of faces with different sizes in images taken under varying illumination conditions in real-time. Also face recognition is size invariant due to the selected set of features, which mainly consists of angles and cross ratios. Since it stores reference face data for recognition as feature vectors and not as huge image data, FaceScry also allows for keeping a reasonable personal face data base for recognizing a set of persons on the smartphone","PeriodicalId":415827,"journal":{"name":"2006 9th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130278754","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 overcome this, the idea of multirate sampled-data control has been proposed. That is, through careful choice of faster input sampling rates create a lifted discrete-time system which has the same number of inputs and outputs and does not give rise to the causality constraint. The output feedback based adaptive control strategy can then be applied to this lifted system under certain conditions.

In this paper, the long-based undulatory fin of an Amiiform fish \"G. niloticus\" was investigated. A simplified physical model was brought forward, which makes up of N equal thin rods and a rectangular elasticmembrane connecting them together. With light mass, small stiffness and low natural vibration frequency, the long-based fin undulating and fluid loading may induce large flexible distortion of their long-based fins when swimming. We established a kinematic model of the long-based undulatory fin on the basis of analyzing the long-based dorsal fin locomotion and considering the fluid-structure interaction. Further, the equilibrium equations of the undulatory fin were obtained by applying the membrane theory of thin shells in which the geometrical non-linearity of the structure is taken into account.

The rules describe the frequencies of 9 different edge masks appearing in the samples. Each mask is a cluster of 7 hexagonal pixels. In order to recognize a number plate, all numbers are tested one by one using the extracted rules. The number recognition is achieved by counting the frequencies of the 9 masks.
