Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

This research presents an effectively autonomous method that can save time and increases productivity for an assembly line in industry by using a 6DOF manipulator and computer vision. The objects are flat, aluminum type and randomly stacked in a box. Firstly, 2D color image processing is performed to label the object, then using 3D pose…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

A liquid petroleum storage facility (Terminal), is a platform used to store petroleum products. Terminals plays a strategic role on the oil and gas supply chain. There are three types of terminals: a fully automated terminal, a partially automated terminal and a fully manual terminal. To increase their efficiency and safety in a very competitive…

This article develops the design and implementation of an industrial network for the control and supervision of the process of dispatching acetic acid, which aims to reduce the presence of this chemical in the environment, since the process is activated manually by the operators; what generates a lack of precision in several stages of the…

Photovoltaic systems and monitoring go hand in hand. There is no better way to check the health of your photovoltaic system than to utilize a remote monitoring system. Monitoring and tracking of photovoltaic systems are crucial for reliable functioning and optimal yield of any solar electric system. This paper aims to introduce a remote electronic…

All forms of skin cancer are becoming widespread. These forms of cancer, and melanoma in particular, are insidious and aggressive and if not treated promptly can be lethal to humans. Effective treatment of skin lesions depends strongly on the timeliness of the diagnosis: for this reason, artificial vision systems are required to play a crucial…

Knowing how and types of talk shows discussed in social media is significant to all stakeholders in a talk show’s program. There are many messages that can be found in social media that need to be noticed so the messages from the user could reach the viewer. Social media provides promising as well as challenging…

Rescue operations require technology to assist the rescue process. The robotic technology in these missions is becoming very important. The important aspects investigated in this study are the integration of a mechatronic system that will allow for a robotic platform with a vision system. The research collaboration between Argentina and South Africa is discussed, with…

This paper presents a developed low cost system for human gait analysis. Two web cameras placed in opposite sides of a treadmill are used to acquire images of a person walking at different speeds on a treadmill, carrying a set of passive marks located at strategic places of its body. The treadmill also has passive…

Using smart parking systems has become very important, and particularly so for metropolitan areas, because of the benefits for drivers in many aspects, such as time, frustration, stress, and anger, in addition to the increased consumption of fuel while searching for a vacant parking space. This paper proposes a review of recent advances in sensing…

As models based in artificial intelligence increase in sophistication, there is a higher demand for the integration of hardware components to heighten real-world implementations. Both facial feature tracking and shape-from-focus are known techniques in computer vision. However, the combination of these two elements, particularly in a cost-effective configuration, has not been extensively explored. In this…

This study presents a novel alternative to traditional Net Energy Metering (NEM) by proposing a set of innovative pricing schemes for solar customers participating in utility-led grid service programs through the aggregation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Grounded in cooperative game theory, the proposed framework facilitates equitable and efficient value allocation among key stakeholders, namely…

As society ages, the imbalance between family caregivers and elderly individuals increases, leading to inadequate support for seniors in many regions.
