This paper presents two approaches for pedestrian detection and counting at bus stops, whose purpose is to provide accurate demand estimates for an automated fleet scheduling and dispatching system. The approaches are ...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new approach for edge detection in gray shaded images. The proposed approach is based on the fuzzy number theory. The idea is to deal with the uncertainties concerning the gray ...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) denotes a system with the ability to detect and interpret adverse changes in structures in order to improve reliability and reduce life-cycle costs. The greatest challenge for designing ...

Abstract. An approach based on the use of genetic algorithms to detect quadrilateral shapes in images is presented in this paper. The proposed approach finds the best sets of four edge points that are the vertices of ...

Recently, model-based approaches have been proposed for fault diagnosis as an emerging alternative to traditional techniques. Particularly, the inversion-and observer-based were proposed for fault diagnosis as successful ...

Technology has been nurturing a wide range of applications in the past decades, assisting humans in automating some of their daily tasks. Nevertheless, more advanced technology systems also expose some potential flaws, ...

© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.In many robotic applications there is the need for detecting and tracking moving and/or static objects while the robot moves, in order to interact with ...

The Earth’s environment is continually changing due to both human and natural factors. Timely identification of the location and kind of change is of paramount importance in several areas of application. Because of that, ...

Accurately counting people waiting at bus stops is essential for automated bus fleet scheduling and dispatch. Estimating the passenger demand in regular open bus stops is a nontrivial problem because of the varying conditions, ...
