Abstract: Natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and tornados, occur quickly and unexpectedly leaving no time to prepare for rescue, thus causing loss of lives. Unlike the types of disasters mentioned above, this research focuses on disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis, where there is little time to prepare for the worst cases when people are stuck in their home waiting for the Search and Rescue Team (SRT). In most cases, after a disaster occurs the SRT are often unable to quickly search and rescue those who need help. This is due to many reasons. One of the most important reasons is the lack of a practical and efficient rescue system available for the rescue task. To overcome this problem, this research proposes a practical, comprehensive and efficient new search scheme to quickly detect and rescue people and facilitate the SRT task. In this new scheme a person waiting for the SRT, will post outdoors a fife sign which can be made with any familiar household items. The sign should not coincide with any existing outside signs. Once the SRT arrives on the disaster site, each drone is launched at the search spot, based on the damage area and city map information integrated into the drones. The drones mission is to automatically and quickly identify and find signs of life. This new search and rescue scheme is developed on the basis …
Abstract: Marine debris is impacting coastal landscapes majorly by affecting biodiversity, impairing recreational uses, causing losses to fishing industries, maritime industries, etc. Motivated by the need for automatic and cost-effective approaches for debris monitoring and removal, we employed computer vision technique together with deep learning-based model to identify and classify marine debris on several beach locations. This paper provides a comparative analysis of state-of-the-art deep learning architectures and proposed architecture which is used as feature extractor for debris image classification.
The model is being proposed to detect seven categories of marine debris using a custom debris dataset, with the help of instance segmentation and a shape matching network, which can then be cleaned timely and efficiently. The manually constructed dataset for this system is created by annotating fixed KaKaXi camera images using CVAT with seven types of labels. A pre-trained HOG shape feature extractor is being used on LIBSVM along with template matching to improve the predicted masked images obtained via Mask R-CNN training. This system intends to timely alert the cleanup organizations with the recorded live debris data. The proposed network resulted in the improvement of misclassification of debris masks for objects with d…

Abstract:Previous studies have demonstrated that emotional arousal is evoked by visual feedback of a selfie. This selfie was subjectively evaluated as having a good face and a good psychological state. However, the causality between emotional arousal due to feedback from a selfie and facial features recognized by the human eye was not revealed. The objective of the present study was factor clarification of the emotional arousal. The study evaluates the kind of facial information the human eye recognizes when the human distinguishes the type of selfie. For this, a model was developed using machine learning to automatically classify if a photographed selfie can favorably affect the emotional state. As a result, the type of selfie was distinguished at 83.3% correctness, and it was suggested that the whole face was recognized when the human eye evaluated a selfie as a selfie that can have a favorable effect on the emotional state. In other words, when evaluating the face, it was suggested that evaluating the whole, not the part, would be a cause of emotional arousal.

Abstract: UAV is defined as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with some greater or lesser degree of ‘automatic intelligence’ part of an unmanned aircraft systems. Although all UAV systems have many elements other than the air vehicles, UAVs are usually categorized by the capability or size of the air vehicle that is required to carry out the mission. However, it is possible that one system may employ more than one type of air vehicle to cover different types of missions, and that may pose a problem in its designation. However, these definitions are constantly being changed as technology advances, allowing a smaller system to take on the roles of the one above. The boundaries, therefore, are often blurred so that the following definitions can only be approximate and subject to change. The main challenge in design and making any system for integration into the main research system, such as robot or UAV, requires careful attention on the interaction of each electric and electrical unit or component on the circuit board. This paper highlights the fabrication and the evaluation of the Inshore Fishing UAV gripper, the acrylic board, and the wireless communication module. The communication transmission distance between the UAV on shore and UAV over the sea is about 1 kilometer with stable flight.

Abstract: An in-process hole inspection subsystem was integrated with the drilling robotic system, which is based on the line laser scanner installed near the end-effector. The proposed inspection approach is based on the image processing of 3D (three dimension) point cloud obtained from laser scanner driven by the robotic manipulator. The normal of measuring surface was detected from the 3D point data on the hole edge, which determines the feedback signal to the hardware to adjust the direction of laser beam. By normal adjusting algorithm, the laser scanner is driven by the robotic manipulator to achieve the normal direction of the measuring hole. Then, based on 2D (two dimension) point data, the least square ellipse fitting method was applied to compute the hole parameters, such as diameter, circularity and positioning of the hole. The designed approach was tested for its accuracy and robust in an example of through hole automatic inspection

Abstract: In order to reduce the torsional moment of the motor in Axis-2, the drive compensation devices can be used for the joint of industrial robots. The static balance compensation range of conventional balance cylinders is limited. Since of lacking in autonomy, continuity, and dynamics, balance cylinders cannot be used for compensation when load is various. The dynamic cylinder based on series elastic actuator (SEA) devices is designed to realize the automatic response of industrial robots when load is various, to obtain continuous dynamic compensation of the inertia moment and to achieve the optimum balance. Because SEA devices have features of dynamic adjustment and energy amplification, they can be used to realize balance compensation and reduce effectively the power requirement for the joint drive motor or even replace a motor of Axis-2. Thus, a new kind of flexible balance-drive device is constructed. In this paper, theoretical and experimental analyses of the dynamic model are conducted. The experimental results prove that the devices combine the effects of balancing cylinders and motors of Axis-2, as well as increasing load capacity and flexibility.

Abstract: This paper highlights the importance of combining intensity and feature based localization systems in autonomous driving. The intensity based localization system is represented by calculating cross correlation between LIDAR and map images. The feature based system is integrated by extracting the lateral edges from the LIDAR and map images with respect to the heading angle. An edge matching technique is then applied to estimate the lateral position based on the common extracted features. The experimental results have verified that the estimation of the lateral and longitudinal positions has been improved against the changes of weather and environmental conditions by combining the image and edge matching results.
