Context-aware intelligent video analysis for the management of smart buildings
2019
To date, computer vision systems are limited to extract digital data of what the cameras "see". However, the meaning of what they observe could be greatly enhanced by environment and human-skills knowledge.In this work, we propose a new approach to cross-fertilize computer vision with contextual information, based on semantic modelization defined by an expert.This approach extracts the knowledge from images and uses it to perform real-time reasoning according to the contextual information, events of interest and logic rules. The reasoning with image knowledge allows to overcome some problems of computer vision such as occlusion and missed detections and to offer services such as people guid…

Measurement uncertainty impact on simplified load flow analysis in MV smart grids
2018
This work is focused on the measurement uncertainty impact on load flow analysis in medium voltage (MV) distribution networks. In more detail, the paper presents the uncertainty evaluation of a simplified load flow algorithm, which is based on the load power measurements at each secondary substation and one voltage measurement at the slack bus (i.e. the voltage at the MV bus bars of the primary substation). To reduce the costs of the monitoring system, the load flow algorithm makes use of LV load power measurements for all the substations except those of MV users, where MV transducers are usually already installed. The uncertainties on the algorithm input quantities (load powers and slack b…
Efficient smart-camera accelerator: A configurable motion estimator dedicated to video codec
2013
Smart cameras are used in a large range of applications. Usually the smart cameras transmit the video or/and extracted information from the video scene, frequently on compressed format to fit with the application requirements. An efficient hardware accelerator that can be adapted and provide the required coding performances according to the events detected in the video, the available network bandwidth or user requirements, is therefore a key element for smart camera solutions. We propose in this paper to focus on a key part of the compression system: motion estimation. We have developed a flexible hardware implementation of the motion estimator based on FPGA component, fully compatible with…
Variable kinematics equivalent single layer theories for magneto-electro-elastic multilayered plates
2014
In recent years, the employment of smart materials able to provide multi-functional capabilities, besides the traditional structural functions, has been gaining attention in several technological fields (automotive, aerospace, biomedical, robotics, etc.). This possibility of coupling different physical fields can be and it has been exploited in transducer applications, structural health monitoring, vibration control, energy harvesting and other applications. In this framework, magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials are attracting increasing consideration from academic and industrial audiences: MEE materials have the ability to couple mechanical, electrical and magnetic fields and this make…

High tech interjerā
2015
ANOTĀCIJA Mūsdienās tiek novērots intereses pieaugums gan pret piedāvātiem tirgū gadžetiem, gan pret iespēju iekārtot dzīvojamo zonu saskaņā ar pēdējām tendencēm. Darba teorētiskajā daļā autors izskata augstāko tehnoloģiju – „Hi-tech” – stila vēsturi un tā integrāciju interjeros. Lai būtu iespējams izstrādāt mājas dizainu Hi-tech stilā, autoram bija jāņem vērā ne tikai darba teorētisko daļu, bet arī objektu, kas ir izveidoti šajā stilā, analīzi. Darba radošajā daļā autors projektē mājas interjeru Hi-tech stilā.
Misja Baltic Air Policing jako sprawdzian sojuszniczej odpowiedzialności NATO w XXI wieku
2016
Autor artykułu podejmuje się analizy Misji Air Policing w odniesieniu do wypełnienia zobowiązań sojuszniczych państw członkowskich NATO, ze szczególnym naciskiem na polskie zaangażowanie w misję. Tekst przedstawia rys historyczny Misji Air Policing, jej wymiar instytucjonalny, ponadnarodowy i narodowy. Przeprowadzono też syntetyczną próbę ukazania problemu wynikającego z implementacji doktryny sojuszniczej NATO ze szczególnym naciskiem na koncepcję inteligentnej obrony.
