Video Scene analysis for a configurable hardware accelerator dedicated to Smart Camera
2012
International audience; According to the Center for Research and Prevention of Injuries report, fall-caused injuries of elderly people in UE- 27 are five times as frequent as other injury causes which reduce considerably their mobility and independence. Among the diverse applications of computer vision systems, object detection and event recognition are of the most prominent related recognition and motion analysis, that is, researchers had the idea to spread it in fall detection. The fall event, extracted automatically from the video scene represents itself, crucial information that can be used to alert emergency. In this context, visual information on the corresponding scene is highly impo…
Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advances and practical implementation
2014
Thanks to some technical progress in interferencefilter design based on different technologies, we can finally successfully implement the concept of multispectral filter array-based sensors. This article provides the relevant state-of-the-art for multispectral imaging systems and presents the characteristics of the elements of our multispectral sensor as a case study. The spectral characteristics are based on two different spatial arrangements that distribute eight different bandpass filters in the visible and near-infrared area of the spectrum. We demonstrate that the system is viable and evaluate its performance through sensor spectral simulation. Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advan…
Open Dialogues in social networks: professional identity and transdisciplinary collaboration
2010
Aim: The aim of this article is to explore the challenges connected to the transformation and emergence of professional identity in transdisciplinary multi-agency network meetings and the use of Open Dialogue.Introduction: The empirical findings have been taken from a clinical project in southern Norway concerning multi-agency network meetings with persons between 14 and 25 years of age. The project explores how these meetings are perceived by professionals working in various sectors.Methodology: Data was collected through three interviews conducted with two focus groups, the first comprising health care professionals and the second professionals from the social and educational sectors. Con…
Computational Rationality as a Theory of Interaction
2022
Funding Information: This work was funded by the Finnish Center for AI and Academy of Finland (“BAD” and “Human Automata”). We thank our reviewers, Xiuli Chen, Joerg Mueller, Christian Guckelsberger, Sebastiaan de Peuter, Samuel Kaski, Pierre-Alexandre Murena, Antti Keuru-lainen, Suyog Chandramouli, and Roderick Murray-Smith for their comments. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 ACM. How do people interact with computers? This fundamental question was asked by Card, Moran, and Newell in 1983 with a proposition to frame it as a question about human cognition - in other words, as a matter of how information is processed in the mind. Recently, the question has been reframed as one of adaptation: how …
Reverse Catmull-Clark Subdivision
2006
Reverse subdivision consists in constructing a coarse mesh of a model from a finer mesh of this same model. In this paper, we give formulas for reverse Catmull-Clark subdivision. These formulas allow the constructing of a coarse mesh for almost all meshes. The condition for being able to apply these formulas is that the mesh to be reversed must be generated by the subdivision of a coarse mesh. Except for this condition, the mesh can be arbitrary. Vertices can be regular or extraordinary and the mesh itself can be arbitrary (triangular, quadrilateral…).
The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility and Its Influences on Vietnamese Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Ho Chi Minh City
2020
In the new era, the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for business organizations is a matter of primary concern and has been researched by scholars around the world. Interest in CSR in business enterprises is often neglected due to its high-cost factor and the enterprises only focused on its operations and profitability for the existence of a business. If the enterprises have a good CSR policy within their development strategy, they will attain greater success. It was deemed that the empirical study adopted a descriptive survey method, 103 data samples were selected from the SMEs for analysis. The results indicated that SME management who adopted and implemented CSR polici…
The Radon-Wigner Transform and Its Application to First-order Optical Systems
2009
The Radon-Wigner transform is presented as a tool for the description of 1st-order optical systems. The input/output relationships for this phase-space representation are obtained and their application in analysis and design tasks is pointed out.
Implementing structured document production to support enterprise content management
2017
Within enterprise content management (ECM), the major goal is to develop and deploy systematic solutions for managing documents and other content items. ECM implementation concerns the development and deployment of new content management solutions and practices in an organization. Extensible Markup Language (XML) offers a standardized format for documents supporting the management and preservation of documents as structured documents. However, the deployment of XML may require a demanding standardization process, changes in work practices, and new tools for document management. Consequently, this research explores the implementation of structured document production environments. The focus …
A novel heuristic memetic clustering algorithm
2013
In this paper we introduce a novel clustering algorithm based on the Memetic Algorithm meta-heuristic wherein clusters are iteratively evolved using a novel single operator employing a combination of heuristics. Several heuristics are described and employed for the three types of selections used in the operator. The algorithm was exhaustively tested on three benchmark problems and compared to a classical clustering algorithm (k-Medoids) using the same performance metrics. The results show that our clustering algorithm consistently provides better clustering solutions with less computational effort.
Collaborative EA Information Elicitation Method : The IEM for Business Architecture
2015
This study contributes to the enterprise architecture (EA) methodologies by suggesting a method for eliciting architecture requirements: gathering both the current architecture information, and the development needs and requirements for the business architecture (BA) dimension in EA planning. Most of all EA dimensions, the developing of the BA requires collaboration with various non-IT stakeholders. It presents thus challenges to the IT department, or the consultancy involved in EA related efforts. The contribution of the various stakeholder groups as informants is, however, crucial to well founded EA design decisions. The suggested method takes related IS development fields as starting poi…
