Practical application of smart materials for moving robots enabled to solve difficult mechatronic positioning and movement problems. Movement in such systems is generated using piezoelectrical devices. Therefore, classical trajectories formation and control methods are not suitable. For these specific problems positioning and piezorobot control methods and algorithms are created. In order to practically realize these algorithms a novel software and hardware is needed. This article presents movement formation methods and movement in predefined trajectory on some plane algorithms for cylindrical piezorobot. It is shown how they can be implemented using Matlab and LabVIEW software. Trajectory movement is controlled using special software and specifically designed motion control system. Control signal is amplified by electronics hardware. It also matches industrial PXI computer to piezorobot's motion actuator which requires high voltage signal and capacitance load. The path of piezorobot is registered using imageprocessing and computer vision technologies. The paper presents experimental results of piezorobot movement when different input data set applied. Piezorobot point-to-point movement on plane without rotation is analyzed. Such movement is created when only one electrode is excited at a time. This generates forces at every segment and their cumulative force ensures precise control of piezorobot movement direction and speed.

Detection and identification of vehicles in traffic surveillance videos is very important to automate the surveillance system and also to build an intelligent transportation system. In this paper a robust method to detect and identify vehicles is proposed which deals with problem like change in illumination. Background subtraction is done using both Gaussian Mixture Model and Visual Background Extractor and supports dynamic changes in background. Vehicles are detected by finding contours in the image frame. Vehicles are tracked by assigning unique ID for each vehicles. Distance between the centroid of detected vehicle and existing vehicles is calculated. If the distance is greater than threshold value then vehicle is considered to be arrived newly and a unique ID is assigned for further tracking. Otherwise, it is the vehicle will get the same ID as in previous frame. Detected vehicle is classified using Support Vector Machine in each frame and final decision is taken when the vehicle is about to exit from the scene.

Signal reconstruction from magnitude-only measurements presents a long-standing problem in signal processing. In this contribution, we propose a phase (re)construction method for filter banks with uniform decimation and controlled frequency variation. The suggested procedure extends the recently introduced phase-gradient heap integration and relies on a phase-magnitude relationship for filter bank coefficients obtained from Gaussian filters. Admissible filter banks are modeled as the discretization of certain generalized translation-invariant systems, for which we derive the phase-magnitude relationship explicitly. The implementation for discrete signals is described and the performance of the algorithm is evaluated on a range of real and synthetic signals.

Contemporary sensor-based robotic systems tend to use an ad-hoc combination of off-the-shelf components for onboard computational needs. The number and type of sensors present, the number and organization of the onboard processors, and the algorithms utilized for processing high bandwidth real-time sensor data present researchers and designers with a wide range of choices for which they are currently ill-equipped to evaluate the best options. We present a co-simulation framework for sensor-based mobile robots that allows for the power and performance analysis of custom embedded computing platforms for mobile robots with a range of onboard sensors. We demonstrate the utility of our co-simulation framework by analyzing the power and performance tradeoffs for the computational subsystem of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with onboard camera sensor performing imageprocessing tasks while operating in a custom virtual testbed.

The development in computing power highlights some forgotten algorithms, which were neglected because of their complexity and slowness on early computers. One example is the Wavelet-Transformation Profilometry (WTP) of which successful application is demonstrated in the paper. WTP is a high level signal processing method using orthogonal algorithms for huge datasets. The high performance in quality and running speed makes the described method suitable for medical imageprocessing applications.

In this paper an original approach is presented for real-time detection of user's face position and orientation based only on depth channel from a Microsoft Kinect sensor which can be used in facial analysis on scenes with poor lighting conditions where traditional algorithms based on optical channel may have failed. Thus the proposed approach can support, or even replace, algorithms based on optical channel or based on skeleton or face tracking information. The accuracy of proposed algorithms is 91% and was verified on Facial Expressions and Emotions Database using 169 recordings of 25 persons. As the processing time is below 20 ms per frame on a standard PC, the proposed algorithms can be used in real-life applications. The presented algorithms were validated in a prototype application for user emotion recognition based on depth channel information only.

A new 3D transform video coding algorithm is introduced, which does not use motion compensation. More independent and highly efficient algorithms are employed for each key step of the transform coding. For the transform step, the SCWP (Spectral Condensed Wavelet Packet) is adopted. For the quantization step, a trimming process is implemented, which keeps the bit allocation function of the significant propagation technique but is independent from the entropy coding step. For the entropy coding step, a novel entropy coding technique based upon binary run-length coding is proposed. This binary entropy coding can be applied to multiple symbol source coding, and it approaches an optimal efficiency bound which is within 1.5% of the source entropy when the source approaches iid. Principally, the complexity of the proposed transform video coding algorithm is comparable to that of a 2D still image transform coding algorithm. However, its compression performance is competitive to HEVC at high compression bitrates.

Edge preservation and precise restoration of details and sharp parts of images is an important issue in modern multimedia systems, 3D imaging, medical imaging and laser microscopy. Objective evaluation of image restoration algorithms in the sense of sharpness is crucial for choice of method to be used. Moreover, automated focus stacking, selective deblurring and other smart restoration methods rely on the proper sharpness measure. In this paper, a novel approach for image sharpness assessment is proposed. The approach is based on local phase coherence (LPC) in the complex wavelet domain. Using maximum pooling of eight LPC maps in eight spatial directions around each pixel, an image sharpness map is generated. Least absolute deviation criterion applied on sorted non-zero elements of the sharpness map results in the proposed global image sharpness measure. The proposed measure is better suited for applications, in comparison with competitive measures.

Consistently, the classical image enlargement algorithm is a scientific analytical method for producing a better refined resolution image that is frequently required for advanced digital imageprocessing (DIP) from a single lower resolution image that is frequently acquired from digital camera embedded system. Because of its less computation calculation, the Single-image Super-Resolution (SISR) that analytically applied for a single lower resolution image is one of the worldwide effective Super Resolution-Reconstruction (SRR) algorithms thus this paper proposes the image enlargement based on the SISR algorithm using high spectrum estimation and Tukey's Biweight constrain function. In general, the performance of this SISR algorithm is hinge on up to three parameters (b, h, k) however there are burdensome for determining these optimized values for these parameters (b, h, k). In order to solve this problem, the Tukey's Biweight constrain function, which is hinge on merely single parameter (T), contrary to three parameters like the classical constrain function, is engaged in the SISR algorithm. By examining on 14 benchmark images, which are profaned by considerable noise forms, in scientific analytical scrutinizing sector, the novel SISR algorithm illustrates that there is efficiently and effortlessly in parameter setting process but the performance of the novel SISR algorithm (with single parameters) is nearly equal to the original SISR (with three parameters). Due to greatly time reduction in the parameter setting process, this novel SISR algorithm is more advisable for real-time applications.
