The conventional heart rate measurement techniques using electrocardiogram, wrist belts and so on, are attached with some disadvantages like discomfort, irritation of the skin and even more. From this starting point various video based heart rate measurement techniques were developed in the last years. All of these techniques use video data of the human faces to extract information to estimate the heart rate of the person in front of the camera. Most of them work with the detection of minimal changes in the color spectrum of the recorded video data. With these extracted information and multiple concluding steps, they are able to estimate the heart rate of the person sitting in front of the camera. All of these approaches have some big disadvantages, they are only able to measure the heart rate of one person - and in a small number of cases up to three persons. So the main objective of this work is to adapt and enhance existing research approaches of processing visual biological signals. The focus is set on the design and deployment of a new system, which is able to process visual data as well as detect and localize human faces by using artificial neural networks and calculate each individuals heart rate from the processed data's information. For the first time in this research area, different scenarios with more than three observed participants are being analyzed to calculate the heart rate for each of them separately. It will be shown that by using the applied technical architecture and technologies, it is possible to deploy a comparable and qualitatively competitive system. In addition, the implemented system proves the feasibility of processing various faces' signals and calculating the respective heart rates simultaneously within an acceptable range of tolerance.

In this paper a method of controlling a wheelchair using the video stream from two cameras is proposed. The cameras are placed on the side of the wheelchair having as main purpose to detect the edge between the floor and the wall. The images obtained are processed, thus obtaining an inclination angular error and a lateral errorfrom the desired trajectory, which is considered at the middle of the distance between the two lateral references. With the combined information from the camera and from the sensors conveniently placed on the system, the navigation inside a building with corridors delimited either by walls, by lines or by transitions is achieved.

In this paper, the application of Reduced-Order Active Disturbance Rejection controller (RADRC) for processes with significant time delay is analysed. First, the analysis of the modified RADRC and its tuning method is presented. Then a practical verification for temperature control in the electric flow heater is shown. In practical studies, the superiority of RADRC over PI and PI with Smith predictor is presented.

The problem of the rapid creation of effective web applications of one class using formal means is considered. A conceptual approach to its solution is offered based on an analysis of the peculiarities of the construction of web applications. Our approach is based on defining the standard web application architecture and selecting its components using formal methods in accordance with user requirements. A formal logical system is proposed that uses the design of web applications as a process of outputting a formula specified according to the needs of the user, which defines the schemes of execution of the modules of the system. An important feature of this approach is the ability to visualise the process of designing the system in 3D, which creates the conditions for effective interaction between developers and machine development tools.

In this paper, the possibility of using the virtual commissioning for developing the advanced controllers for example of electric flow heater is presented. First, based on the process measurement data, the virtual environment is prepared. Then, for selected advanced control algorithms, both virtual and real commissioning was carried out. The results are discussed in the paper and they demonstrate the impact of the applied commissioning method on the control performance provided by each of considered control algorithms.
