This project presents a signal controller algorithm to capitalize on the extended information provided by wide-area detection at isolated intersections. Using computer simulation, different control strategies are evaluated and the performance of the proposed wide-area detection system with...

In this report, the authors propose a new approach for vision based longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. The novelty of this approach is the use of binocular vision. Two modules are integrated, consisting of a new, domain-specific, efficient binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker...

In this paper, the authors describe the successful combination of a low- level, vision-based surveillance system with a high-level, symbolic reasoner based on dynamic belief networks. This prototype system provides robust, high-level information about traffic scenes. The machine vision component...

At the present time, industries like textile are in constant need of modernisation. Thus, their presence in the high technology area of high performance computing (HPC) based inspection is of strategic interest. Textile manufacturers have to monitor the quality of their products in order to...

The problem of image segmentation can be formulated as one of vector quantization. Although self-organizing networks with competitive learning are useful for vector quantization, they, in their original single-layer structure, are inadequate for image segmentation. This paper proposes and...

The need to have high integrity, structurally bonded adhesive and sealant joints throughout many industries, such as the automotive and aerospace industries, is increasing. To ensure process integrity, strict process control of the automated dispensing cell is essential. Many industries require...

This paper presents the mathematical framework for the attitude and position estimation of an object from its image using three point correspondence information. A closed-form solution for the pose determination problem is derived by representing the relative attitude parameters using...
