Tracking a target person is a vital job in human-robot interaction. The robot must always notice a particular person as the interaction target partner. However, it is sometimes very hard to distinguish the target person because there are many other persons around the target. In this paper, we propose a target person detection and tracking system by combining person's frontal photometric features such as face and clothing color, and coordinate of the person's location in the real world. We apply an illumination invariant face recognition method named OptiFuzz. Hue-Saturation histogram (HS-histogram) is used to obtain the clothing color feature, and a location of the person is acquired from a calibrated single camera view. All these features are then fed into an algorithm of Naive Bayes to discriminate between the target person and others. Our experimental results indicate a successful outcome as it is always possible to detect and track the target person.
Software engineering is a human activity. Despite this, human aspects are under-represented in technical debt research, perhaps because they are challenging to evaluate. This study's objective was to investigate t...

Many municipalities adopt nowadays smart technologies offering smart services to their citizens towards the vision of a smart city. Different research works have revealed that the realisation of a smart city and its smart services creates a complex, multi-layered, and multi-dimensional environment with multiple stakeholders. In these surveys, technology requirements have been defined and several platforms were examined, and in most cases reference architectures have been proposed. However, these surveys mostly focus on the technology, while city governance is not effectively addressed via the requirements defined. In this work, we claim that the main goal should be to support digital transformation using technologies for developing smart, creative, innovative, and sustainable cities. Thus, eight open source platforms have been analysed against a set of governance-based and technology-driven requirements extracted and refined from earlier works. This survey provides a reference framework that enables policy makers, developers, researchers, and end-users to adopt a city governance strategy via an open source platform with the required technological features to realise a smart city research, investment, and innovation project.
