With the recent advancements in drone technology, there has been an increase in the development of human detection and tracking techniques for various applications, especially near borders. In this research, we propose methods to enhance people detection performance in diverse outdoor scenarios. Our dataset design includes a wide range of lighting and color changes, different target distances, angles, and postures. The experimental data consists of images taken in various environmental situations, such as changing the drone’s flight height and capturing pictures in intensive light. To evaluate the performance of our proposed method, we enhanced the generic YOLOv5 model using the gathered data, and calculated key performance indicators, including loss functions, recall, accuracy, and mAP50. We compared the performance of our enhanced model against the standard YOLOv5 model and its versions on the same testing set.
In this paper, the quadratic buck converter (QBC) is proposed as competitive alternative to implement a battery charger. Since, QBC is a high order system, the required control is designed to follow the conventional c...

Database technology applies to many engineering problems. Hence it is the subject of study at many university majors. Since teaching practical usage of theory at a distance is difficult or even impossible, we present novel mechanisms that significantly enrich e-learning platform functionalities in individualized learning of databases installed on the teacher-managed server. The crucial component of our proposal, Data Adapter, allows for interactive querying and manipulating of the NoSQL databases through an e-learning platform. The Adapter is complemented by the Learning Paths component, which enables teachers the creation of individualized didactic paths for students with special educational needs. The e-learning platform load tests confirm that new activities do not substantially affect the comfort of students’ work. Its impact on learning effectiveness was verified by rating the competence test for the group of 104 course participants. Half of them were the participants of the e-learning NoSQL course and used the developed mechanisms, while the remaining, control, group was taught with the conventional methods. The research shows that the proposal successfully improves teaching modern NoSQL languages. The scores improvement in the e-learning group of students compared to results in the control group is noticeable, and observed differences are statistically significant.
Cloud computing systems are the backbone of our technology needs in everyday life and are one of the major electric energy consumers globally. Any improvement that can be added to the energy efficiency of these vast s...

Cloud computing can be an useful tool when dealing with spatially distributed resources, which need to be simultaneously managed. In this work, a simulation environment is developed using OpenStack to apply a Distributed Model Predictive control strategy for a platooning application consisting of multiple autonomous mobile robots. The idea is to develop the entire algorithm by taking advantage of the possibility of creating virtual machines. Thus, each autonomous mobile robot is treated as an individual agent and is modeled and controlled on a virtual machine, whereas the communication between the agents is performed in the cloud, using the TCP/IP protocol standard. The simulation results illustrate that the platooning application deployed in OpenStack outperforms the simulation performed on a single computer.

With the purpose of increasing the security of physical access in restricted areas, the paper proposes the use of the Linqstat material for a touch sensor keyboard consisting of 19 keys with the possibility of expansion for later versions, model that is missing from the specialized literature. The advantage of this type of sensor is that it can also be applied to a curved surface, with the necessary calibration. The construction method of the keyboard including the touch sensor is presented. First, a neural network (NN) is used to locate the touch on the keyboard, then a second method detects each pressed key individually.
