  1. 1. Cooperative Context-Aware Setup and Performance of Surveillance Missions Using Static and Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

    Author : Edison Pignaton de Freitas; Tony Larsson; Carlos Eduardo Pereira; Franz Josef Rammig; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Surveillance systems; Wireless sensor network; Cooperative sensors; Mobile sensors; Biologically-inspired networking; Context awareness;

    Abstract : Surveillance systems are usually employed to monitor wide areas in which their usersaim to detect and/or observe events or phenomena of their interest. The use ofwireless sensor networks in such systems is of particular interest as these networks can provide a relative low cost and robust solution to cover large areas. READ MORE

  2. 2. Reactive Navigation Methods for Autonomous Robots: Safety, Coordination, and Field Deployment

    Author : Björn Lindqvist; George Nikolakopoulos; Christoforos Kanellakis; Alberto Bemporad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Field Robotics; NMPC; Obstacle Avoidance; Collision Avoidance; Multi-agent Systems; Robot Navigation; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

    Abstract : In the new era of intelligent systems, small-scale electronics, and advanced sensors, the application use-cases and operational capabilities of autonomous robots are exponentially increasing. Through their ability to execute complex tasks while relying only on onboard sensors and computation, autonomous field robots are showing promising results in inspection of infrastructure, search-and-rescue or surveillance, maintenance tasks, or in general operations in areas that prove to be dangerous or hazardous for human operators to enter, while also often increasing the efficiency of such tasks.

  3. 3. Partitioning and Control for Dynamical Systems Evolving on Manifolds

    Author : Xiao Tan; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; James D. Biggs; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Partitioning and control; Transition system; Geometric control; Barrier functions; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : With the development and integration of cyber-physical and safety-critical systems, control systems are expected to achieve tasks that include logic rules, receptive decision-making, safety constraints, and so forth. For example, in a persistent surveillance application, an unmanned aerial vehicle might be required to "take photos of areas A and B infinitely often, always avoid unsafe region C, and return to the charging point when the battery level goes low.

  4. 4. A model for injury surveillance at the local level in Bangladesh : implications for low-income countries

    Author : Fazlur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Injury; Surveillance; Low-income countries; Bangladesh;

    Abstract : Injury is a major public health problem in Bangladesh as in other low income countries throughout the world, but one that has gained very little attention from policy makers or even health professionals, mainly due to the lack of valid injury information in these countries. The establishment of surveillance systems for injuries at the national and local levels for the purpose of measuring trends, detecting clusters, identifying injury related risk factors, and developing intervention strategies are now essential steps to be taken in low-income countries.

  5. 5. Dose Management in Diagnostic Radiology - application of the DICOM imaging standard and a Monte Carlo dose engine for exposure surveillance

    Author : Hans-Erik Källman; Anders Ahnesjö; Hilde M. Olerud; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; metadata; DICOM; radiation safety; Monte Carlo; source model; patient model; optimization; justification; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    Abstract : Ionizing radiation is used in diagnostic radiology with a large contribution to the health of the patients. The regulations to limit the detrimental effects, e.g. cancer induction, are based on recommendations from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). READ MORE
