The applicability of characteristics of local magnetic fields for more precise determination of localization of subjects and/or objects in indoor environments, such as railway stations, airports, exhibition halls, showrooms, or shopping centers, is considered. An investigation has been carried out to find out whether and how low-cost magnetic field sensors and mobile robot platforms can be used to create maps that improve the accuracy and robustness of later navigation with smartphones or other devices.
The aim of this work is the application and evaluation of a method to visually detect markers at a distance of up to five meters and determine their real-world position. Combinations of cameras and lenses with different parameters were studied to determine the optimal configuration. Based on this configuration, camera images were taken after proper calibration. These images are then transformed into a bird's eye view using a homography matrix. The homography matrix is calculated with four-point pairs as well as with coordinate transformations. The obtained images show the ground plane un distorted, making it possible to convert a pixel position into a real-world position with a conversion factor. The proposed approach helps to effectively create data sets for training neural networks for navigation purposes.
Bei dem vorgestellten Ansatz soll der Auftreffpunkt des Pfeils durch die Kreuzkorrelation von Audio-Signalen bestimmt werden. Das Auftreffen des Pfeils erzeugt ein charakteristisches Geräusch, welches von mehreren Mikrofonen in bestimmter Anordnung um die Dartscheibe herum in elektrische Signale umgewandelt wird. Mithilfe der Schallgeschwindigkeit und den Zeitdifferenzen, welche die Schallwelle zu den einzelnen Mikrofonen benötigt soll dann der Auftreffpunkt berechnet werden.
This paper presents an approach for implementing an automated hit detection and score calculation system for a steel dartboard using a standard webcam. First, the rectilinear field separations of the dartboard are described mathematically by means of line slopes and are than stored. These slopes serve as a basis for later score calculation. In addition, thrown darts have to be detected and the pixel at which the dart cuts the dartboard has to be determined. When this information is known, a comparison is made using the line slopes, allowing the field number of the hit to be detected. The decision for single, double or triple hit is made by evaluating the defined colors on the dartboard. All these functions are then packaged in a Matlab GUI.
Sweaty has already participated several times in RoboCup soccer competitions (Adult Size). Now the work is focused coordinating the play of two robots. Moreover, we are working on stabilizing the gait by adding additional sensor information. An ongoing work is the optimization of the control strategy by balancing between impedance and position control. By minimizing the jerk, gait and overall gameplay should improve significantly.
Amongst all the major hazard aspects for the health of people in big conglomerates is the increase of the particulate matter concentration. Traditional systems for particulate matter (PM) monitoring have a great number of drawbacks but the main issues are economical and are related to the installation costs and never ending periodical maintenance expenses. After all there are installations of such systems but their number is limited and having in mind the growth of population, cities and industry areas, there is even a bigger need for more information on air quality because PM changes non-linearly, has a wide range and different sources. In this paper, we propose an approach, based on low-cost sensor nodes, for real-time measuring and obtaining information about the PM concentration. The adoption of that approach allows for a detailed study of the intensities of pollution and its sources. The system power supply is powered by a PV module. The power supply unit is designed using a model-based design that is a new approach to prototyping power-operated electronic devices with guaranteed performance.
In this contribution, we propose an system setup for the detection andclassification of objects in autonomous driving applications. The recognition algo-rithm is based upon deep neural networks, operating in the 2D image domain. Theresults are combined with data of a stereo camera system to finally incorporatethe 3D object information into our mapping framework. The detection systemis locally running upon the onboard CPU of the vehicle. Several network archi-tectures are implemented and evaluated with respect to accuracy and run-timedemands for the given camera and hardware setup.
