Machine vision technique to avoid alignment failure in space launch vehicleSuseetharan Vijayakumaran
Machine vision inspection technique is a new technique based on computer vision theories and provides a better way for inspecting the launch vehicle and its strapon misalignment to avoid failure. Compared with the traditional inspection techniques, the machine vision inspection technique has the
advantage of non-contact, rapid, fast on-line acquisition time, good flexibility and enhanced accuracy, etc. It will meet the requirement of modern space launch vehicle launching developments. The image of launch vehicle is captured using a camera and stored as a jpeg image. Then the stored image is analyzed for the orientation, angle and alignment of the Space Launch Vehicle along with its strapons.
Presentation of the Exploration & Exploitation Challenge 2011 (http://explo.cs.ucl.ac.uk/), recap of the phase 1 results and announcement of the phase 2 and final results.
Talk given on 2 July 2011 at the 'On‐line Trading of Exploration and Exploitation 2' workshop at the International Conference in Machine Learning.
Wireless Rotor Runout Kit is a novel tool for rotor runout measurement. It consists of a Bluetooth dial indicator (BlueDial), a Bluetooth angle sensor (BlueAngle) and the iPad application Runout. Together these sensors work to seamlessly measure both circumference deflection and rotor rotating angle to show the real contour of the rotor. The multiple sensors connectivity of the App also allow users to add extra BlueDials to conduct runout test on different planes simultaneously.

Depth-Based Real Time Head Motion Tracking Using 3D Template Matching愚 屠
In this work, we propose a system to estimate head poses only using depth information in real-time. An optimization method based on 3D model fitting is developed. We iteratively minimize the distance between source and target point clouds of a user’s head. The method give fully real-time responses (30fps) without the GPU speedup. We adopt a commodity depth sensor named Microsoft Kinect as well as Asus Xtion, and use the depth image as the only input so that our system will not be affected by illumination variations. However, the simplicity of this acquisition device comes at the cost of frequent noises in the acquired data. We demonstrate that 6 degrees of freedom real-time head motion tracking in 3D space can be achieved with such noisy depth data.
The aim of “BLUESLEMON” project is to develop a low-cost automatic system for monitoring landslide surface displacement using drones and BT beacons. The proposed drone architecture is developed to go beyond the current state-of-the-art techniques and is characterized by autonomous navigation capabilities. The UAV platform is equipped with obstacle-detection sensors and collision-avoidance algorithms, allowing the smart UAS to be easily employed for autonomous navigation, even in case of diverse environments or applications (search-and-rescue operations in alpine environments or automatic surveillance in urban areas).

Tracking Pedestrians using Extended and Unscented Kalman Filters in a Sensor ...Kaustav Mondal
This paper presents a sensor fusion algorithm to
track pedestrians accurately using measurements from LiDAR
and radar sensor. The formulation of standard kalman filter,
extended kalman filter and unscented kalman filter is discussed
in detail. The objective of this paper is to show the importance
of using multiple sensors for estimation purposes in autonomous
vehicles. The ability of EKF and UKF to accurately estimate
the nonlinear behavior of the pedestrian is studied by com-
paring the accuracy of predicted path vs ground truth using
performance metrics.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

▪ Precise position estimation is one of the fundamental
technical dependencies in our society today. It has
influenced our lives in countless ways most people do
not think about.
▪ It is used in a variety of applications including:
▪ GNSS (and all its varying applications)
▪ Self driving vehicles
▪ Mobile robots
▪ Internet of Things (IoT) and many others
Introduction
5. 5
▪ Indoor positioning has become an area of increasing
interest utilizing the various signals that our devices
use such as Bluetooth and WiFi.
▪ People spend about 80% of their time indoors, so it is
of great significant to achieve precise indoor position
estimation.
▪ This is why we are using a smartphone, a device
everyone carries, for real time position estimation only
using its inertial sensors.
Motivation
6. 6
▪ Smartphone is a versatile device with many sensors such as:
MEMS, Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. , which provides a high
potential for indoor position estimation for many users .
▪ Data source
▪ The HUAWEI P10 smartphone was utilized to acquire the
original data, including:
the value of the accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer
▪ From the accelerometer , we can get the value of acceleration
along the X axis and Y axis.
▪ From the magnetometer and gyroscope , we can get the value
of angle and angle rate along the way.
Equipment
8. 8
▪ The Kalman Filter (KF) is a time-varying linear optimal
estimation algorithm , which is ideally suited for
position estimation in modern multi-sensor systems.
▪ An important aspect of KF is its recursive nature.
The position estimation is only based on the
previously calculated state and current input.
▪ This makes it ideal for real time application
▪ KF puts more weight on higher certainty values
improving its estimation precision.
Why KF ?
9. 9
▪ Our Observation Variables:
▪ ax = x-direction acceleration
▪ ay = y-direction acceleration
▪ θ = direction
▪ ω = angular rate
▪ These are the observation values that our
smartphone inertial sensors provides.
Methodology
10. 10
▪ Kalman Filter Variables:
▪ A = system function matrix
▪ H = observation function matrix
▪ Q = system noise matrix for compensation
▪ R = observation noise matrix
▪ xk = system state variables
▪ zk = observation variables
▪ Pk = covariance matrix
▪ Note:
▪ - = predicted value
▪ ^ = estimated value
Methodology
13. 13
▪ KF Processing
