Abstract Automation of technological processes using computer vision systems necessitates fragment based tracking of the displacement of a large areal object in images. Examples of such processes are monitoring mooring operations, loading and unloading operations, analyzing the environment from the vessel’s bridge, and tracking berthing. These processes are cyclical in the maritime transport industry and thus require methods for automatic data analysis in 24×7 mode. The paper proposes a method of fragment based tracking of the displacement of a large areal object in images in real time. The algorithm that underlies the method enables tracking the object fragment using convolution of pixel matrices and ensures data processing by frequency methods, including computational operations using Fourier images. The developed method is applicable for real-time tracking the object in images, even when it can be hardly distinguished from the background. The method of tracking the displacement of a large areal object proposed in the study can be used in software and hardware meters for longitudinal and vertical displacement, which are used in the maritime transport industry.

AbstractGestural expressiveness plays a fundamental role in the interaction with people, environments, animals, things, and so on. Thus, several emerging application domains would exploit the interpretation of movements to support their critical designing processes. To this end, new forms to express the people’s perceptions could help their interpretation, like in the case of music. In this paper, we investigate the user’s perception associated with the interpretation of sounds by highlighting how sounds can be exploited for helping users in adapting to a specific environment. We present a novel algorithm for mapping human movements into MIDI music. The algorithm has been implemented in a system that integrates a module for real-time tracking of movements through a sample based synthesizer using different types of filters to modulate frequencies. The system has been evaluated through a user study, in which several users have participated in a room experience, yielding significant results about their perceptions with respect to the environment they were immersed.

The important strategic position of military UAVs and the wide application of civil UAVs in many fields, they all mark the arrival of the era of unmanned aerial vehicles. At present, in the field of image research, recognition and real-time tracking of specific objects in images has been a technology that many scholars continue to study in depth and need to be further tackled. Image recognition and real-time tracking technology has been widely used in UAV aerial photography. Through the analysis of convolution neural network algorithm and the comparison of image recognition technology, the convolution neural network algorithm is improved to improve the image recognition effect. In this paper, a target detection technique based on improved Faster R-CNN is proposed. The algorithm model is implemented and the classification accuracy is improved through Faster R-CNN network optimization. Aiming at the problem of small target error detection and scale difference in aerial data sets, this paper designs the network structure of RPN and the optimization scheme of related algorithms. The structure of Faster R-CNN is adjusted by improving the embedding of CNN and OHEM algorithm, the accuracy of small target and multitarget detection is improved as a whole. The experimental results show that: compared with LENET-5, the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is significantly improved. And with the increase of the number of samples, the accuracy of this algorithm is 98.9%.

AbstractPaleoseismological techniques have been used to investigate gravitational deformations at the Mortirolo Pass (Valtellina region, central Alps), in order to improve the knowledge on the activation mechanisms and the evolution of deep-seated gravitational slope movements. The deformation has been responsible for mass sliding towards the Valtellina depression through the activation of several-hundred-metre-long shear planes. Minor shear planes dipping towards the mountain played the role of antithetic structures. Four trenches were excavated across scarps representing the surficial expression of shear planes affecting the bedrock and Late Pleistocene-Holocene deposits. The excavations enabled to investigate the stratigraphy of Quaternary deposits and the geometry and kinematics of the shear planes affecting them. Radiocarbon analyses on organic material contained in sediments and paleosols enabled to define a succession of displacement events which occurred during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene. Collected data indicate the persistence of the activity until recent times (last movement related to 1810-1540 cal. BP). A sudden movement has been detected along one of the main shear surfaces (dipping towards the valley) with a vertical displacement of several metres. In contrast, numerous displacements (with lower vertical offset) have been detected along the antithetic shear planes. Different hypotheses have been proposed in the past to define the origin of huge gravitational movements (glacial retreat, uplift of the Alpine chain, fault activity). However, the Late Pleistocene cycles of glacial loading and unloading on the mountain slopes seem to be the most probable factors causing deep-seated gravitational movements in the investigated region. A recent dramatic landslide in an area adjacent to the investigated one (Mt. Zandila-Valpola) testifies to the paroxistic evolution of the large scale gravitational deformations. The densely inhabited Valtellina region is affected by a large number of gravitational structures similar to those of the Mortirolo area. In consideration of the possible effects of the paroxistic activation of these structures, detailed studies on the chronology and kinematics of the deformations through the application of paleoseismological techniques should therefore be encouraged.
