Carbon constraints policies shall be prepared based on effects of carbon tax policies on different types of enterprises to achieve win-win results for the government and enterprises. A production-inventory model was established to the carbon tax constraints in this study to discuss the effects of carbon tax policies on inventory plans and carbon emissions of different types of enterprises and perform comparative analysis to the sensitivity of carbon tax rates for different types of enterprises. Numerical results demonstrate: enterprises may actively adjust their production-inventory arrangements under the current carbon tax policies so that carbon tax costs may fall;and as for any enterprise, the higher its production unit costs are, the weaker the sensitivity of its carbon taxes (namely its emission reduction may not be under good control by means of carbon tax policies). Suggestions were finally presented in accordance with our study conclusions to production enterprises and those who prepared carbon constraint policies.

this paper aims to develop a method to extract 3D information from surrounding space in real time and to develop a control system to track a target object continuously. We used two cameras and utilized the concepts of ray optics, epipolar geometry and image processing to identify the target and find its world coordinates with reference to the cameras.

As a result of growing complexities in business processes, information systems, and the technical infrastructure, a key challenge for enterprise architecture management (EAM) is to guide stakeholders from different hierarchical levels with heterogeneous concerns. EA deliverables, such as models or frameworks, are often highly comprehensive and standardized. However, these can hardly be applied without greater adaption. Although the literature selectively covers approaches for tailoring EA deliverables closer to the concerns of affected stakeholders, these approaches are often vague or not very differentiated. In the paper at hand, we aim at introducing a stakeholder perspective to EAM research that considers stakeholder concerns on EAM across hierarchical levels. To this end, we conduct a case study: Our results show homogenous concerns among stakeholders on EA deliverables. In turn, we found different concerns on the role of EAM in applying these deliverables, dependent on the hierarchical level of stakeholders. these findings stress the necessity for a more differentiated understanding of stakeholder concerns on EAM. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings for an exemplary EAM approach.

object tracking is an important application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). One of the main challenges for designing an object tracking technique is energy conservation. Prediction based strategies are used to save energy. We consider an application where a WSN is installed in a forest for tracking the movement of animals (objects). Since, animals move in certain paths rather moving entirely randomly, we attempt to use this property. the movement patterns of the objects are extracted using a data mining technique. this information is used to predict the object movement withthe aim to reduce the energy consumption in tracking. In situations where the prediction is erroneous, we propose a systematic recovery mechanism. the recovery mechanism has three levels. the number of additional nodes woken up progressively increases withthe increase in the recovery level. If an object has been detected at a lower level, normal operations are resumed. It is observed that there are significant energy savings due to this systematic recovery mechanism. the proposed technique, called DESPOT, is fully distributed and energy efficient. We have carried out extensive simulation of DESPOT and have compared its performance with an existing technique, called PTSP. Simulation results show that DESPOT conserves significant energy and it has a better tracking efficiency than PTSP.

A robot needs to predict an ideal rectangle for optimal object grasping based on the intent for that grasp. Mask Regional - Convolutional Neural Network (Detectron) can be used to generate the object mask and for object detection and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can be used for ideal grasp rectangle prediction according to the supplied intent, as described in this paper. the masked image obtained from Detectron along withthe metadata of the intent type has been fed to the Fully-Connected layers of the CNN which would generate the desired optimal rectangle for the specific intent and object. Before settling for a CNN for optimal rectangle prediction, conventional Neural Networks with different hidden layers have been tried and the accuracy achieved was low. A CNN has then been developed and tested with different layers and sizes of pool and strides to settle on the final CNN model that has been discussed here. the optimal predicted rectangle is then fed to a robot, ROS simulation of Baxter robot in this case, to perform the actual grasping of the object at the predicted location.

the volume calculation and weight estimation of objects is used in many real world applications, such as calculating the nutritional content in food items, in forensic science, etc. While there are several existing models on volume estimation, a majority of these models are based on 3 dimensional images, which are difficult to obtain in real time and require expensive equipment. In this paper, a method is introduced to estimate the dimensions of an object in a 2D image provided by the user. three tasks are performed-object recognition using the algorithm of Haar Cascades, dimension calculation using a reference object and a Conversion Factor, and volume estimation using conventional 3D shape models for regular objects and a prediction model based on regression analysis for human body. the observed values are compared withthe ground truth and obtained an accuracy of 93.69%.

Identification of ovarian status and follicle monitoring becomes the most important part in the evaluation of an infertile woman. Ultrasound or sonography has helped in diagnosis and treatment of infertile patients. Ultrasound imaging of the follicles in the ovary gives very important information about the ovary such as type of cyst, number of follicles and size of follicles response to hormonal imbalance. Image Segmentation gives more information in the region of interest in an image and clearly differentiate the object and the background from the image. But it is very hard to perform segmentation on ultrasound images due to presence of noise so by using image preprocessing with morphological operations, detection of follicles becomes easy and effective. Classification of Ovarian cyst is done using fuzzy logic.

In this paper, we present a human fall detection method from visual surveillance. In first step, background subtraction is performed using Improved GMM to find the foreground objects. In second step, contour based human template matching is applied to categorize the human or non-human object. It helps to detect fall incident by providing sudden change in generated score after matching. Height-width ratio is computed in third step to decide whether the human shape is changed or not. In fourth step, distance between top and mid centre of rectangle covering human is computed, if it is less than a certain threshold, then human fall is confirmed. Finally, if inactive pose of human is continued till 100 consecutive frames, then an alarm is generated to alert the people at home to provide treatment on time. Experiments have been performed on 21 video sequences having different usual and unusual fall incidents. Experimental results show that proposed system works well efficiently and effectively in real-time for recognizing human fall.

Motion tracking in a video involves the process of following the transition of an object from its initial position to the displaced position. An object can be anything such as a human, property, vehicle etc. Motion tracking has gained significant importance especially withthe increase in the desire to develop computer vision based intelligent systems for video surveillance, human tracking, gestures and behavior study, anomaly detection, traffic monitoring etc. Optical flow is a common approach used in vision based motion tracking. this paper discusses in detail, the taxonomy of different algorithms in optical flow and strikes a comparison among the different optical flow algorithms. Also, the experimental observations made by tracking the human motion using two optical flow approaches have been presented and it could be found that Lucas-Kanade algorithm produced better tracking vectors when compared to Horn-Schunck algorithm.
