A new coastal video monitoring system for Apulia region, southeast of Italy, is under development. It is composed of visible and thermal streams and featured to be included in a wider meteo-oceanographic monitoring network. The system is designed for use on sandy beaches. The regional Basin Authority (AdBP) through previous field campaigns has identified for long-term monitoring purposes two hotspots, prone to erosion and flooding: Torre Canne (Fasano, BR) and Torre Lapillo (Porto Cesareo, LE), facing the Adriatic and Ionian seas, respectively. This paper presents the actual architecture and some initial findings of its implementation aiming at a complete automatic analysis of morphological features and hydrodynamic studies, mainly focused in swash zone.

Video monitoring has become an indispensable tool to understand beach processes. However, the measurement accuracy derived from the images has been taken for granted despite its dependence on the calibration process and camera movements. An easy to implement self-fed image stabilization algorithm is proposed to solve the camera movements. Georeferenced images were generated from the stabilized images using only one calibration. To assess the performance of the stabilization algorithm, a second set of georeferenced images was created from unstabilized images following the accepted practice of using several calibrations. Shorelines were extracted from the images and corrected with the measured water level and the computed run-up to the 0 m contour. Image-derived corrected shorelines were validated with one hundred beach profile surveys measured during a period of four years along a 1.1 km beach stretch. The simultaneous high-frequency field data available of images and beach surveys are uncommon and allow assessing seasonal changes and long-term trends accuracy. Errors in shoreline position do not increase in time suggesting that the proposed stabilization algorithm does not propagate errors, despite the ever-evolving vegetation in the images. The image stabilization reduces the error in shoreline position by 40 percent, having a larger impact with increasing distance from the camera. Furthermore, the algorithm improves the accuracy on long-term trends by one degree of magnitude (0.01 m/year vs. 0.25 m/year).

The article presents content related to the assessment of the usefulness of video monitoring for the identification of perpetrators of homicides as well as qualifying it as an important element of crime prevention. It presents the impact of the growing tendency of mass use of public space monitoring systems on the increased sense of security and control over situations which may threaten society. Moreover, the issues related to a perpetrator’s awareness of the inevitability of preserving their image by means of visual monitoring and its impact on the manner of their conduct as well as the possible withdrawal from committing a prohibited act have been signalled. The article also attempts to explain the reasons for the long-term impunity of some killers from the 1960s to the 1980s in relation to the lack of certain technological solutions, and especially the lack of video surveillance in areas where it is commonly used today. The article also covers the current legal solutions allowing for the legitimate collection of images from video monitoring, including those related to the protection of personal data in connection with the processing of images of the perpetrator.

ABSTRACT:Preoperative EEG investigations of patients with temporal lobe seizures include extracranial interictal and ictal recordings during wakefulness and sleep, including long-term EEG and video-monitoring. Interictal epileptiform discharges when evaluated conservatively and in conjunction with other EEG and non-EEG localizing information, provide valuable guidance for the identification of the area to be resected, as do ictal recordings. When extracranial EEG features in conjunction with non-EEG data provide conflicting localizing information, intracranial recordings with stereotaxically implanted depth and epidural electrodes are used. Intracranial recordings must be designed to avoid biasing the exploration strategy in favor of one's preferred localizing hypothesis. Patients with evidence for bitemporal epileptogenic dysfunction in extracranial EEG recordings are suitable candidates for intracranial recordings. The majority of the patients explored in this manner show that all or more than 80% of their seizures arise from one temporal lobe. Excision of that lobe yields satisfactory results in a fair proportion of these patients. The number of satisfactory outcomes is, however, still somewhat less than in patients with unilateral temporal foci in extracranial EEG recordings.

This study is directed toward understanding the process of feeding stimulation (“refeeding signal”) that has been suggested to operate below a body mass threshold or critical metabolic status in spontaneously fasting birds. Behavior and egg temperature (Tegg) were continuously monitored by video monitoring and biotelemetry, respectively, in fasting-incubating king penguins kept in a pen to prevent relief by the partner until spontaneous egg abandonment. Penned birds fasted 10 days more and lost 1.2 kg more than birds relieved normally by their partner, abandoning the egg about 1 wk after reaching a critical body mass. Definitive egg abandonment was preceded by transitory abandonments of progressively increasing duration during which time the birds went further and further away from their egg. There were marked interindividual differences but on average transitory abandonments began 36 ± 5 h before the definitive abandonment and were paralleled by resumption of display songs signaling the readiness of the bird to depart for feeding. Teggwas maintained at around 35.7°C during normal incubation but significantly decreased the last 2 days before egg abandonment. These changes are interpreted as reflecting a stimulation to refeed at a threshold body mass corresponding to a critical fat store depletion. Thus the fasting-incubating king penguin appears to be an interesting animal model for understanding the long-term metabolic control of feeding behavior in relation to energy status.
