With a focus on complex environments,the present paper describes a new algorithm in scale changed object tracking through color feature.Mean shift (MS) iterative procedure is the best color-based algorithm to find the location of an object.The algorithm performance is not acceptable once tracking scale changed objects in complex environments.In this paper,the main aim is to improve the MS method,using corrected background-weighted histogram (CBWH) algorithm to reduce the interference of background in target localization.To fit the object scale change,the sum of gradient mode (SGM) is employed.The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional mean shift tracking in the following aspects:1) it provides consistent object tracking throughout the video; 2) it is not influenced by the tracked objects scale changes; 3) it is less prone to the background clutter

Aims to address the restrictions imposed by tranditional robot Control system development approach such as close structure,function immobility,lack of reconfiguration at run time,hard to guarantee.a lightweight service-oriented architectures(LSOA) for robot control system is proposed.The main features of this architecture include central control mode,message-based interaction and configuration system based on embedded database.This architecture provides good supports for runtime reconfiguration,and allows integrating different components with the aid of a configuration system.The experiment indicates that the LSOA approach can improve the flexibility,reconfiguration and agility of the system.

Worldwide adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) databases in health care have generated an unprecedented amount of clinical data available electronically. There has been an increasing trend in US and western institutions towards collaborating with China on medical research using EMR data. However, few studies have investigated characteristics of EMR data in China and their differences with the data in US hospitals. As an initial step towards differentiating EMR data in Chinese and US systems, this study attempts to understand system and cultural differences that may exist between Chinese and English clinical documents. We collected inpa-tient discharge summaries from one Chinese and from three US institutions and manually analyzed three major clinical components in text: medical problems, tests, and treatments. We reported comparison results at the document level and section level and discussed potential reasons for observed differences. Documenting and understanding differences in clinical reports from the US and China EMRs are important for cross-country collaborations. Our study also provided valuable insights for developing natural language processing tools for Chinese clinical text.

Infrared (IR) detectors have found wide-spread use in military applications including night-vision, rifle sights, surveillance gear, and tracking and guidance systems. These detectors provide a means for information collection and increased situational awareness, allowing for threat identification and informed decision making. The IR sensors used in these detectors can be categorized into two classes Photon (or quantum) and Thermal depending on the physics of operation. Photon detectors operate by the creation of an electrical signal in semiconducting material produced from the electronic absorption of incoming photons, and the signal is read as a photocurrent or at a photovoltaic p-n junction. These detectors can provide high-sensitivity and fast refresh rates and are typically found in applications with high- sensitivity requirements. Unfortunately, these detectors require sub-100 K cooling to lower thermal noise for optimal performance making them both bulky and expensive.

We seek to forecast the lifetime of modules in the field using accelerated testing. Collection of sufficient data from modules undergoing indoor accelerated lifetime testing to enable statistical analyses and lifetime predictions has been difficult, and data are lacking. Measurement of power degradation generally involves intermittently removing the module from the environmental chamber and measuring power on a solar simulator, which is a time-consuming process when numerous samples are involved. Methods are therefore sought to characterize the state of degradation of the module in-situ during stress testing.

The virtual motion camouflage varying manifold based optimal planning algorithm, inspired by the observation in mating hoverflies, is investigated and the performance is enhanced significantly in terms of the convergence speed and collision avoidance capability. The dimension and time complexities of the innovative algorithm are analyzed. A new strategy based on local pursuit is compared with the virtual motion strategy in constructing the varying manifold. The algorithm is validated in an enhanced low cost robot testbed.

This chapter presented a comprehensive system for the acquisition of hybrid Semantic 3D Object Maps for kitchen environments. The proposed mapping system includes 2 components, namely: i) a Static Functional Map which contains those parts of the environment with fixed positions and utilitarian functions (walls, floor, kitchen appliances, cupboards, tables, etc); and ii) a Triangulated Surface Map created using decoupled triangular meshes. The former is built either by employing a set of commonsense heuristic rules on the data or by classifying a set of planar regions using simple 3D geometric features, and serves as a semantic resource for an assistant mobile personal robot, while the latter supports 3D collision detection and path planning routines for safe navigation and manipulation.
