The evolutionary process of modern robotics helps the military forces to revamp their aged systems with today's advanced technology. For defending any kind of criminal activities like hostage situation created by any extremist or a militant group the uses of all terrain military assistance robot has increased from past time. In this paper we have approached a stair climbing robot with some creative features which can assist a military group to complete a mission or achieve any milestone. We have focused on reliable designs and unique stair climbing mechanisms with the detection of stairs through imageprocessing. Moreover detecting the human movement and different kind of guns using the imageprocessingalgorithms helps us to upgrade our system into a semi-autonomous robot. Using radio frequency communication protocol, wide range of working space is achieved which helps the user to control the robot from a safe distance from the crime zone. Experimental analysis of the system justify the reliability as well as the efficiency of the design and the algorithms for practical scenario.

In this paper, different algorithms used in conventional electrical capacitance tomography, such as, Landweber method, Tikhonov regularization method and Linear Back Projection method have been explored in regard to water-dominated vertical flows. Imaging of multiphase flows holding water as continuous phase (i.e. water-dominated flows) is a very challenging task because of the high permittivity of water. However, as opposed to existing literature, it is shown that it is still possible to image water-dominated flows with conventional electrical capacitance tomography. A comparison among the effectiveness of different methods for successful image reconstruction of different types of vertical flows has been presented as well. This work shows a potential direction towards imaging water-dominated multiphase flow using electrical capacitance tomography.

This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a Mechanically Scanned Imaging Sonar (MSIS) as principal sensor operating in structured environments such as marine platforms, harbors, or dams. Our contribution has introduced a method based on the Smooth Variable Structure Filter (SVSF) to solve this problem. The SVSF is known to be very robust to modeling errors and uncertainties. This filter merges the information from various sensors (Doppler Velocity Logs (DVL), the MTi motion reference unit (MRU)) and the observations from the feature extraction based line in order to estimate the vehicle's motion and to construct a map in partially structured environments. The SVSF-SLAM algorithm is implemented with a datasets obtained in an abandoned marine experiment. The proposed algorithm is validated and provides an accurate estimation which gives a good robustness compared to the EKF/N H infinity-SLAM algorithms.

This article presents a scheme of image blocks scanning, called radial scanning, that enables massive parallelization of video compression and decompression. The proposed scheme enables parallel processing of image blocks when still using the context-based coding paradigm. Compared to other competitive schemes of image blocks scanning, the proposed scheme allows higher degree of computations parallelization in a video codec. Due to using the context-based coding the proposed scheme does not negatively affect the compression performance of a video encoder.

One of the main challenges in space communication is the difficulty in the transmission and processing of large amount of data from satellite to earth. Also, space telescope image reconstruction with sampling rate less than Nyquist rate is preferred in space mission. Compressive sensing (CS) is a sampling theory that allows to capture and represent compressible signals at a rate significantly below Nyquist rate, by exploring the sparsity structure of the signal. Hence a novel image reconstruction technique based on CS to address the problems of space telescope image reconstruction is proposed in this paper. The common reconstruction algorithms for CS which comes under the class of Convex Relaxation, Non-Convex Minimization algorithms, Greedy Iterative Algorithm, and Iterative Thresholding algorithms are used for space telescope image reconstruction.A combination algorithm of convex relaxation and Non-Convex Minimization algorithms is proposed to enhance the quality of the reconstructed *** analysis of the proposed method is performed and it is found that the proposed method gives better result than the classical reconstruction algorithms of CS.

HyperSpectral (HS) images are commonly used for classification tasks in different domains, such as medicine. In this field, a recent use is the differentiation between healthy tissues and different types of cancerous tissues. To this end, different machine learning techniques have been proposed to generate classification maps that indicate the type of tissue corresponding to each pixel in the image. These 2D representations can be used stand-alone, but they can not be properly registered with other valuable data sources like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which can improve the accuracy of the system. For this reason, this paper builds the foundations of a multi-modal classification system that will incorporate 3D information into HS images. Specifically, we address the acceleration of one of the hotspots in depth estimation tools/algorithms. MPEG-I Depth Estimation Reference Software (DERS) provides high-quality depth maps relying on a global energy optimizer algorithm: Graph Cuts. However, this algorithm needs huge processing times, preventing its use during surgical operations. This work introduces GoRG (Graph cuts Reference depth estimation in GPU), a GPU accelerated DERS able to produce depth maps from RGB and HS images. In this paper, due to the lack of HS multi-view datasets at the moment, results are reported on RGB images to validate the acceleration strategy. GoRG shows a ×25 average speed-up compared to baseline DERS 8.0, reducing total computation time from around one hour for 8 frames to only a few minutes. A consequence of our parallelization is an average decrease of 1.6 dB in Weighted-to-Spherically-Uniform Peak-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (WS-PSNR), with some remarkable disparities approaching 4 dB. However, using Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) as metric results come closer to baseline DERS. Effectively, an average decrease of only 1.20% is achieved showing that the obtained speed-up gains compensate the subjective quality losses.

Camera based traffic enforcement solutions has been ubiquitously employed in many roadways around the world. Toll violation detection, red light violation detection, speed violation detection are typically the most common usages of camera systems towards traffic enforcement. However, there are other enforcement areas that need attention such as front seat child occupancy violation, which is a major safety concern in many countries. In this study, we propose a novel automated technique towards child occupancy detection in front seat of vehicles using deep learning algorithms. Using a camera system placed on an overhead gantry, installed on a high way in Turkey, real world images are captured during day and night time. We performed experiments using 1000 real world images and achieved an overall accuracy of 92 %.
