ABSTRACT A multisensor system was integrated into the P.166-DL3 Piaggio aircraft that was selected for maritime surveillance by the Italian Merchant Marine Ministry for the Coast Guard. Four aircraft equipped with such a system are now operational in Italy. Sensors include bispectral scanner, FLIR system, aerial camera system, surveillance system operator console, and related facilities. In addition, four more aircraft have been purchased, and will be in operational use in the very near future with an improved sensor system. Current Coast Guard plans are to have 12 aircraft operational for maritime surveillance; further development will include in-flight data transmission and ground data processing capabilities.

ABSTRACT A new multisensor, integrated oil spill and maritime surveillance system now is in operational use by the Swedish Coast Guard. The system, developed by the Swedish Space Corporation, is based on experience with prototype side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), infrared/ultraviolet (IR/UV), and camera systems which were tested and operated between 1978 and 1981. The new system comprises second-generation, integrated SLAR, IR/UV, and camera systems together with supporting equipment for quick-look documentation and data recording. Sensor imagery is presented in real time on a television display. The system has been designed and optimized exclusively for maritime surveillance. The result is high performance at a very competitive price. Low weight and power consumption permit installation in a wide range of aircraft. System components such as an imagery link, a microwave radiometer and a TV-camera system are under development and will be added in the near future.

ABSTRACT Since 1981, the Swedish Coast Guard has been conducting daily oil spill surveillance patrols using small aircraft equipped with a remote sensing system. During this time, the use of the aircraft has widened to include a number of Coast Guard tasks such as fishery protection and sea traffic surveillance. This has necessitated the acquisition of aircraft with greater endurance and more loading capability. Two CASA 212 aircraft were delivered in 1986. In response to requests from Coast Guard operators, the remote sensing system has at the same time gone through a major revision. One of the main ideas in the third generation system is to give the operator computer aid in producing charts and reports for documenting routine missions, violations, and accidents. When necessary, as in the case of an accident, the charts can be immediately telecopied from the computer in the aircraft to a Coast Guard Command Center to ensure a quick and proper response.

New processing methods based on artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning are replacing traditional computer vision algorithms. The more advanced systems can process huge amounts of data in large computing facilities. In contrast, this paper presents a smart video surveillance system executing AI algorithms in low power consumption embedded devices. The computer vision algorithm, typical for surveillance applications, aims to detect, count and track people’s movements in the area. This application requires a distributed smart camera system. The proposed AI application allows detecting people in the surveillance area using a MobileNet-SSD architecture. In addition, using a robust Kalman filter bank, the algorithm can keep track of people in the video also providing people counting information. The detection results are excellent considering the constraints imposed on the process. The selected architecture for the edge node is based on a UpSquared2 device that includes a vision processor unit (VPU) capable of accelerating the AI CNN inference. The results section provides information about the image processing time when multiple video cameras are connected to the same edge node, people detection precision and recall curves, and the energy consumption of the system. The discussion of results shows the usefulness of deploying this smart camera node throughout a distributed surveillance system.

Today, a difficult situation has developed in the field of wages and incomes of the population, associated with the need to increase the level of wages and real incomes of the population, since low effective demand in the domestic market can become the main constraint on economic growth in the near future. The main goal of wage reform in modern conditions is to restore the role of wages as the main incentive for productivity growth and labor efficiency, which will have a positive impact on the functioning of production and will give an impetus to its further development.

Secure Transmission

The automation process in the preanalytic phase of the laboratory is of increasing interest since there is an increasing discrepancy between the enormous advances in the automation process of the analytical/ postanalytical and the preanalytical phase of the central laboratory. Besides there is need of a secure transmission of the test requests from the clients to the central laboratory. We started a project together with other supra-regional laboratories in Germany in order to develop and establish a secure and robust data transmission system for the transmission of clinical data and laboratory information to the central laboratory. Based on common standards for laboratory data transmission and using a two dimensional barcode we developed an offline usable open source standard. Our project and the members of our project group may be a basis for the development and establishment of a standardized catalogue of laboratory methods and laboratory analyses in Germany in the near future.

This paper presents research about design a textile-based stretch sensor for making a reliable sensing system for dance movement sensing. We examined sixteen textile-based conductive stretch sensors that were made with commercially produced conductive materials. Through the analysis of their sensitivity, linearity, hysteresis, responsiveness, and fatigue, a silver-plated conductive fabric, Technik-tex P130B, shows the best performance for dance movement sensing. Then, we tested the bonding technique, and washability of Technik-tex P130B-made sensors. The finding shows that bonding makes a noticeable impact on sensor performance. Both bonding and washing increase the sensor’s resistance. Technik-tex P130B on one side bonding has the best performance for dance movement sensing. This reliable and washable textile-based stretch sensor is utilised for dance bodysuit making for further development.

The research literature in computer science provides a way of understanding the growing capabilities of information technology (IT) and anticipating their future effect on work and skills. This chapter reviews a set of recent computer science articles to identify the IT capabilities that have been demonstrated in research settings. These capabilities are compared to information on occupational ability requirements to identify occupations that are potentially vulnerable to displacement as demonstrated IT capabilities are refined and applied over the next couple decades. The chapter’s preliminary analysis suggests that occupations representing 82 percent of current employment will be potentially vulnerable to displacement by IT in the near future. More rigorous versions of the chapter’s preliminary analysis should be carried out once or twice each decade to track the further development of IT capabilities and regularly update our understanding of their likely consequences for work and skills.

Intrinsic And Extrinsic Parameters

The ability to reliably measure the depth of the object surface is very important in a range of high-value industries. With the development of 3D vision techniques, RGB-D cameras have been widely used to perform the 6D pose estimation of target objects for a robotic manipulator. Many applications require accurate shape measurements of the objects for 3D template matching. In this work, we develop an RGB-D camera based on the structured light technique with gray-code coding. The intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera system are determined by a calibration process. 3D reconstruction of the object surface is based on the ray triangulation principle. We construct an RGB-D sensing system with an industrial camera and a digital light projector. In the experiments, real-world objects are used to test the feasibility of the proposed technique. The evaluation carried out using planar objects has demonstrated the accuracy of our RGB-D depth measurement system.
