This paper describes a nonlinear Image-Based Visual Servo (IBVS) controller for the Flare phase of the landing maneuver of a fixed-wing aircraft in the presence of wind gust. Optic-Flow and 2D image features are exploited from the image of the runway to design a feedback controller for the automatic maneuver. The controller is divided into two parts. The first part guarantees the horizontal alignment with the center of the runway and uses the two lines delimiting the runway represented through a modification of the so-called Plucker coordinates. The second part takes advantage of the Optic-Flow measurements to ensure a smooth touchdown. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the control approach.

We consider the problem of selecting a subset of p out of n sensors for the purpose of event detection,in a wireless sensor network(WSN).Occurrence of the event of interest is modeled as a binary Gaussian hypothesis *** this case sensor selection consists of finding,among all(~n) combinations,the one maximizing the Kullback-Leibler(KL) distance between the induced p-dimensional distributions under the two *** exhaustive search is impractical if n and p are large,as the resulting optimization problem is *** propose a suboptimal approach with computational complexity of order■(np).This consists of relaxing the 0/1 constraint on the entries of the selection matrices to let the optimization problem search over the set of Stiefel *** finding the Stiefel matrix is a nonconvex problem,we provide an algorithm that is guaranteed to produce a global optimum for p = 1,through a series of judicious problem *** case p > 1 is tackled by an incremental,greedy *** obtained Stiefel matrix is then used to determine the sensor selection matrix which best approximates its range *** simulations are used to assess near optimality of the proposed *** also show how the proposed approach performs better than exhaustive searches once an upper bound on the computation time is set.

In this paper a technique is presented to estimate the traffic intensity for each lane. This method does not require background estimation or even the identification and tracking of individual vehicles. It requires only the identification of each lane and the estimation of a bird eye view of the highway using a rectification method. To each rectified lane, an intensity profile is computed along the traffic flow direction for each frame, obtaining an image that represents the displacement as a time function. The main idea is to search for the best matching profile for different times and spaces on each lane and consequently obtain the velocity profile.

Most of industrial robots are still programmed using the typical teaching process, through the use of the robot teach pendant. In this paper is proposed an accelerometer-based system to control an industrial robot using two low-cost and small 3-axis wireless accelerometers. These accelerometers are attached to the human arms, capturing its behavior (gestures and postures). An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) trained with a back-propagation algorithm was used to recognize arm gestures and postures, which then will be used as input in the control of the robot. The aim is that the robot starts the movement almost at the same time as the user starts to perform a gesture or posture (low response time). The results show that the system allows the control of an industrial robot in an intuitive way. However, the achieved recognition rate of gestures and postures (92%) should be improved in future, keeping the compromise with the system response time (160 milliseconds). Finally, the results of some tests performed with an industrial robot are presented and discussed.

Reliable detection and classification of vulnerable road users constitute a critical issue on safety/protection systems for intelligent vehicles driving in urban zones. In this subject, most of the perception systems have LIDAR and/or radar as primary detection modules and vision-based systems for object classification. This work, on the other hand, presents a valuable analysis of pedestrian detection in urban scenario using exclusively LIDAR-based features. The aim is to explore how much information can be extracted from LIDAR sensors for pedestrian detection. Moreover, this study will be useful to compose multi-sensor based pedestrian detection systems using not only LIDAR but also vision sensors. Experimental results using our data set and a detailed classification performance analysis are presented, with comparisons among various classification techniques.
