The human behaviour analysis has been a subject of study in various fields of science (e.g. sociology, psychology, computer science). Specifically, the automated understanding of the behaviour of both individuals and groups remains a very challenging problem from the sensor systems to artificial...

Vision based human motion recognition has fascinated many researchers due to its critical challenges and a variety of applications. The applications range from simple gesture recognition to complicated behaviour understanding in surveillance system. This leads to major development in the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to implement a glass-curtain-wall cleaning robot driven by a double flexible rope, so as to replace manual cleaning. The glass-curtain-wall, because of its excellent daylighting performance, damp-proofing characteristics, heat insulation properties and...

Several high breakdown robust estimators have been developed to solve computer vision problems involving parametric modeling and segmentation of multi-structured data. Since the cost functions of these estimators are not differentiable functions of parameters, they are commonly optimized by...

Motions of floating micro-granules were observed by using the system of an inverted microscope with a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera. The granules of microscale size, namely, beads, inactivated Escherichia coli and platelets, were contained on the sample stage, the temperature of...
