The hierarchically structured bounding boxes help us to quickly isolate the contour of segments in interference. In this paper, a new approach is introduced to treat the interference detection problem involving the representation of arbitrary shaped objects. Our proposed method relies upon searching for the best possible way to represent contours by means of hierarchically structured rectangular oriented bounding boxes. This technique handles 2D objects boundaries defined by closed B-spline curves with roughness details. Each oriented box is adapted and fitted to the segments of the contour using second order statistical indicators from some elements of the segments of the object contour in a multiresolution framework. Our method is efficient and robust when it comes to 2D animations in real time. It can deal with smooth curves and polygonal approximations as well results are present to illustrate the performance of the new method.

Uncomplicated detection circuits using salvaged components can pinpoint floods in impoverished regions. CPSs simplify hazard prediction and mitigation in disaster supervision. Nonetheless, few green practices and efforts have been accomplished in this regard. Recent technical advances help landslides studies and the evaluation of suitable risk alleviation measures. This work addresses in situ meters, and cameras to observe ground movements more accurately. The ER-CPS identifies and can help mitigate landslides using techniques based on motion detection that can productively predict and monitor the zone conditions to classify it, and the landslide-related data can be transmitted to inspecting stations to lessen the erosion/sedimentation likelihood while increasing security.

For the most part, image-processing algorithms blur the edges of the estimated images, however TV regularization preserves the edges with no prior information on the observed and the original images. The regularization scalar parameter λ controls the amount of regularization allowed and it is an essential to obtain a high-quality regularized output. A wide-ranging review of several ways to put into practice TV regularization as well as its advantages and limitations are discussed.

The role of motion compensation/ motion estimation (MCME) in 3D TV from end-to-end user is investigated in this chapter. Motion vectors (MVs) are closely related to the concept of disparities, and they can help improving dynamic scene acquisition, content creation, 2D to 3D conversion, compression coding, decompression/decoding, scene rendering, error concealment, virtual/augmented reality handling, intelligent content retrieval, and displaying. Although there are different 3D shape extraction methods, this chapter focuses mostly on shape-from-motion (SfM) techniques due to their relevance to 3D TV. SfM extraction can restore 3D shape information from a single camera data.

Foi um levante de cunho social, realizado em subdivisões da Marinha, sediadas no Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo era por fim às punições físicas a que eram submetidos os marinheiros, como as chicotadas, o uso da santa-luzia e o aprisionamento em celas destinadas ao isolamento. Os marinheiros requeriam também uma alimentação mais saudável e que fosse colocada em prática a lei de reajuste de seus honorários, já votada pelo Congresso. De todos os pedidos requeridos, o que mais afligia os marujos eram os constantes castigos a que eram sujeitos. Esta situação revoltou os marinheiros, que eram obrigados, por seus comandantes, a assistir a todas as punições aplicadas, para que elas servissem de exemplo. Os soldados se juntavam e ao estampido de tambores traziam o rebelado, despido na parte de cima e com as mãos atadas, iniciando o castigo.

Não bastando, os membros de baixa patente eram submetidos a castigos físicos toda vez que não cumpriam uma ordem estabelecida. Apesar de a prática ser proibida desde o fim do Império, era comum que os marinheiros recebessem chibatadas como forma de punição. Em 1910, sob comando de um marujo negro e analfabeto chamado João Candido, os marinheiros dos couraçados Minas Gerais e São Paulo organizaram um protesto. Neste, tomaram o controle das embarcações e enviaram um telegrama ao presidente exigindo que os castigos fossem abolidos, os salários incrementados e uma folga semanal concedida a todos os marinheiros. Se não tivessem seu pedido imediatamente atendido, ameaçavam bombardear a capital. Mediante a gravidade da situação e o alarde dos grupos políticos oposicionistas, o governo decidiu atender aos pedidos. Em poucos instantes, o Congresso votou uma lei em que o castigo físico era abolido e todos os envolvidos na revolta não sofreriam qualquer tipo de punição. Entretanto, revelando sua face autoritária, o governo descumpriu suas próprias determinações ao realizar a prisão de alguns dos participantes dessa primeira revolta.

Book Content Description:

The world faces a tremendous challenge: producing more food for a growing population while also taking care of the environment. Sustainable agriculture entails the establishment of strategic partnerships, technological innovation, new ways to treat old problems, and assimilation of solutions from other knowledge areas such as healthcare and governance. These actions and
activities can mitigate several issues while reaching out to more farmers and the communities to which they belong.
Agriculture 4.0 describes significant trends facing agribusiness, including a greater focus on precision agriculture, the internet of things (IoT), and big data to drive greater business
efficiencies in the face of rising populations climate change.
Given the pandemic and previous problems in Latin America (LA), the amount of undernourished will increase considerably in the next 10 years. Since very little innovation has
taken place in LA to address food scarcity and hunger.
Meeting these challenges will require a combined effort by governments, investors, and R & D innovations. Agriculture 4.0 will no longer depend on applying water, fertilizers, and pesticides uniformly across entire fields. Instead, farmers will use the minimum quantities
required and target particular areas. Future farms, agricultural arrangements, agribusiness
operations will be very different. These paradigm changes are primarily due to the advancements in technology, e.g., sensors, actuators, devices, software packages, robots, aerial images, mapping areas, GPS usage, cloud computing, assessing the stage/vigor of crops, probing of
phytosanitary problems, and impacts due to drought/hail, crop planning, fertilizer spraying, and pesticides application. These advanced frameworks for precision agriculture must integrate robotic systems and human beings in a harmonious way to allow farms to be more profitable,
efficient, safe, humane, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

High-income countries are facing exploding medical costs primarily due to the growing population of elderly people. Elderly are the fastest-growing demographic group in developed countries. The UN forecasts that by 2050, the elderly (60 years et and older) would constitute up over 20% of the world population. In developed countries, the nursing home provides adequate care services to elderly; nevertheless, elderly people prefer staying at home in their familiar and usual social environment and take care of their health by themselves as long as they are able to. Home care applications are therefore increasingly in demand. Rural areas, particularly in developing countries, are suffering from poor access to health care services. Among the reasons are poor healthcare infrastructures, inappropriate public health structure, lack of health insurance, brain drain and lack of medical expert specialists. Telehealthcare and remote care delivery are a continuing trend today in developing countries public health care systems to overcome care provision issues and increase access to care service. Recent research in rural and elderly health is based on current technological advancements in sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M), patient-centric/patient-centered personalized and remote health care as well as patient empowerment through medical education. The Internet of Things (including M2M) is a rapidly growing technology which enables connected things to communicate with each other. IoT technology is increasingly present in medical applications e.g. pervasive/ ubiquitous monitoring systems, cardiac telemetry systems, sensing systems. IoT-enabled health care is multidisciplinary involving methodologies from several domains and applied to the area of medicine and public healthcare systems. IREHI conference is an IEEE sponsored interdisciplinary conference including workshops, tutorials and demo sessions with multifaceted topics of interests. The main objective of the conference is to bring together Health Informatics researchers from the industry as well as public health care bodies working towards improving and transforming rural and elderly healthcare. Considering that, submissions may especially focus on novel ideas and non-invasive systems that could be deployed and used in developing countries as well as in the developed world.

Home care applications are therefore increasingly in demand. Rural areas, particularly in developing countries, are suffering from poor access to health care services. Among the reasons are poor healthcare infrastructures, inappropriate public health structure, lack of health insurance, brain drain and lack of medical expert specialists. Telehealthcare and remote care delivery are a continuing trend today in developing countries public health care systems to overcome care provision issues and increase access to care service. Recent research in rural and elderly health is based on current technological advancements in sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M), patient-centric/patient-centered personalized and remote health care as well as patient empowerment through medical education. The Internet of Things (including M2M) is a rapidly growing technology which enables connected things to communicate with each other. IoT technology is increasingly present in medical applications e.g. pervasive/ ubiquitous monitoring systems, cardiac telemetry systems, sensing systems. IoT-enabled health care is multidisciplinary involving methodologies from several domains and applied to the area of medicine and public healthcare systems. IREHI conference is an IEEE sponsored interdisciplinary conference including workshops, tutorials and demo sessions with multifaceted topics of interests. The main objective of the conference is to bring together Health Informatics researchers from the industry as well as public health care bodies working towards improving and transforming rural and elderly healthcare. Considering that, submissions may especially focus on novel ideas and non-invasive systems that could be deployed and used in developing countries as well as in the developed world.

Quality control of these products is one of the most important tasks in manufacturing processes. The use of control and automation has become more widespread, and new approaches provide opportunities for production competition through new technologies. The need to intensify the quality and quantity of a product leads to the use of advanced automated machines. Machine tools are increasingly becoming more automated and less reliant on human factors. Nowadays, visual machine technology and image processing techniques are widely used in the industry, particularly common in product quality control, robot guidance and self-guided mechanisms.

Research paper thumbnail of Optical Flow Estimation Using Total Least Squares Variants

Oriental Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2017

TLS method solves an inconsistent system Gu=z , with G and z in error due to temporal/spatial derivatives, and nonlinearity, while the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model has noise only in z. Sources of difficulty involve the non-stationarity of the field, the ill-posedness, and the existence of noise in the data. Three ways of applying the TLS with different noise conjectures to the end problem are observed. First, the classical TLS (cTLS) is introduced, where the entries of the error matrices of each row of the augmented matrix [G;z] have zero mean and the same standard deviation. Next, the Generalized Total Least Squares (GTLS) is defined to provide a more stable solution, but it still has some problems. The Generalized Scaled TLS (GSTLS) has G and z tainted by different sources of additive zero-mean Gaussian noise and scaling [G;z] by nonsingular D and E, that is, D[G;z]E makes the errors iid with zero mean and a diagonal covariance matrix. The scaling is computed from some knowledge on the error distribution to improve the GTLS estimate. For moderate levels of additive noise, GSTLS outperforms the OLS, and the GTLS approaches. Although any TLS variant requires more computations than the OLS, it is still applicable with proper scaling of the data matrix.

Computer Vision (CV) and Sensors play a decisive role in the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), but there exists a void when it comes to analysing the extent of their impact on the entire UAV system. In general, the fact that a UAV is a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is not taken into account. In this proposal, we propose to expand on earlier books covering the use of CV and sensing in UAVs. Among other things, an entirely autonomous UAV can help to (i) obtain information about the environment, (ii) work for an extended period of time without human interference, (iii) move either all or part of itself all over its operating location devoid of human help and (iv) stay away from dangerous situations for people and their possessions. A Vision System (VS) entails the way CV data will be utilized, the appropriate architecture for total avionics integration, the control interfaces, and the UAV operation. Since the VS core is its sensors and cameras, multi-sensor fusion, navigation, hazard detection, and ground correlation in real time are important operational aspects that can benefit from CV knowledge and technology. This book will aim to collect and shed some light on the existing information on CV software and hardware for UAVs as well as pinpoint aspects that need additional thinking. It will list standards and a set of prerequisites (or lack of them thereof) when it comes to CV deployment in UAVs. The issue of data fusion takes a centre place when the book explores ways to deal with sensor data and images as well as their integration and display. The best practices to fuse image and sensor information to enhance UAV performance by means of CV can greatly improve all aspects of the corresponding CPS. The CPS viewpoint can improve the way UAVs interact with the Internet of Things (IoT), use cloud computing, meet communications requirements, implement hardware/software paradigms necessary to handle video streaming, incorporate satellite data, and combine CV with Virtual/Augmented Realities.

VOLUME 2-DEPLOYMENT AND APPLICATIONS: This tome introduces procedures, standards, and prerequisites for the deployment of Computer Vision (CV) in UAVs from their application point of view. It discusses existing/desirable open source software tools, image banks, benchmarks, Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Service (QoS) and how CV can benefit from a Robot Operating System (ROS) in surveillance, remote sensing, inspection, maintenance and repair among other usages, while offering an assessment of current bottlenecks and trends. It will pave the road towards better studies on the necessity and viability of implementing collaborative environments for visualization, knowledge management and teleoperation of UAVs. This is planned to be the companion volume of Estrela, Hemanth, Saotome (Eds) / Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Volume 1-Control and Performance.

All uncertainties in the proposed model are time-varying and supposed norm-bounded in both state and output matrices. The predictor is obtained by minimizing an upper bound of the estimation error variance, i.e., the design leads to a guaranteed cost for all allowed uncertainties. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed estimator.

O martírio secular da terra. Capítulo I Preliminares O Planalto Central do Brasil desce, nos litorais do Sul, em escarpas inteiriças, altas e abruptas. Assoberba os mares; e desata-se em chapadões nivelados pelos visos das cordilheiras marítimas, distendidas do Rio Grande a Minas. Mas ao derivar para as terras setentrionais diminui gradualmente de altitude, ao mesmo tempo que descamba para a costa oriental em andares, ou repetidos socalcos, que o despem da primitiva grandeza afastando-o consideravelmente para o interior. De sorte que quem o contorna, seguindo para o norte, observa notáveis mudanças de relevos: a principio o traço contínuo e dominante das montanhas, precintando-o, com destaque saliente, sobre a linha projetante das praias; depois, no segmento de orla marítima entre o Rio de Janeiro e o Espírito Santo, um aparelho litoral revolto, feito da envergadura desarticulada das serras, riçado de cumeadas e corroído de angras, e escancelando-se em baias, repartindo-se em ilhas, e desagregando-se em recifes desnudos, à maneira de escombros do conflito secular que ali se trava entre os mares e a terra; em seguida, transposto o 15° paralelo, a atenuação de todos os acidentes -serranias que se arredondam e suavizam as linhas dos taludes, fracionadas em morros de encostas indistintas no horizonte que se amplia; até que em plena faixa costeira da Bahia, o olhar, livre dos anteparos de serras que até lá o repulsam e abreviam, se dilata em cheio para o ocidente, mergulhando no âmago da terra amplíssima lentamente emergindo num ondear longínquo de chapadas... Este facies geográfico resume a morfogenia do grande maciço continental. Demonstra-o análise mais íntima feita por um corte meridiano qualquer, acompanhando à bacia do S. Francisco. Vê-se, do fato, que três formações geognósticas díspares, de idades mal determinadas, aí se substituem, ou se entrelaçam, em estratificações discordantes, formando o predomínio exclusivo de umas, ou a combinação de todas, os traços variáveis da fisionomia da terra. Surgem primeiro as possantes massas gnaissegraníticas, que a partir do extremo sul se encurvam em desmedido anfiteatro, alteando as paisagens admiráveis que tanto encantam e iludem as vistas inexpertas dos forasteiros. A princípio abeiradas do mar progridem em sucessivas cadeias, sem rebentos laterais, até as raias do litoral paulista, feito dilatado muro de arrimo sustentando as formações sedimentárias do interior. A terra sobranceia o oceano, dominante, do fastígio das escarpas; e quem a alcança como quem vinga a rampa de um majestoso palco, justifica todos os exageros descritivos -do gongorismo de Rocha Pita às extravagâncias geniais de Buckle -que fazem deste país região privilegiada, onde a natureza armou a sua mais portentosa oficina. É que, de feito, sob o tríplice aspecto astronômico, topográfico e geológico a nenhuma se afigura tão afeiçoada à Vida. Transmontadas as serras, sob a linha fulgurante do trópico, vêem-se, estirados para o ocidente e norte, extensos chapadões cuja urdidura de camadas horizontais de grés argiloso, intercaladas de emersões calcárias, ou diques de rochas eruptivas básicas, do mesmo passo lhes explica a exuberância sem par e as áreas complanadas e vastas. A terra atrai irresistivelmente o homem, arrebatando-o na própria correnteza dos rios que, do Iguaçu ao Tietê, traçando originalíssima rede hidrográfica, correm da costa para os sertões, como se nascessem nos mares e canalizassem as suas energias eternas para os recessos das matas opulentas. Rasgam facilmente aqueles estratos em traçados uniformes, sem talvegues deprimidos, e dão ao conjunto dos terrenos até além do Paraná a feição de largos plainos ondulados, desmedidos. Entretanto, para leste a natureza é diversa. Estereografa-se, duramente, nas placas rígidas dos afloramentos gnáissicos; e o talude dos planaltos dobra-se do socalco da Mantiqueira, onde se encaixa o Paraíba, ou desfaz-se em rebentos que, após apontarem as alturas de píncaros centralizados pelo Itatiaia, levam até o âmago de Minas as paisagens alpestres do litoral. Mas ao penetrar-se este Estado nota-se, malgrado o tumultuar das serranias, lenta descensão geral para o norte. Como nos altos chapadões de São Paulo e do Paraná, todas as caudais revelam este pendor insensível com derivarem em leitos contorcidos e vencendo, contrafeitas, o antagonismo permanente das montanhas: o rio Grande rompe, rasgando-a com a força viva da corrente, a serra da Canastra, e, norteados pela meridiana, abrem-se adiante os fundos vales de erosão do rio das Velhas e do S. Francisco. Ao mesmo tempo, transpostas as sublevações que vão de Barbacena a Ouro Preto, as formações primitivas desaparecem, mesmo nas maiores eminências, e jazem sotopostas a complexas séries de xistos metamórficos, infiltrados de veeiros fartos, nas paragens lendárias do ouro. A mudança estrutural origina quadros naturais mais imponentes que os da borda marítima. A região continua alpestre. O caráter das rochas, exposto nas abas dos cerros de quartzito, ou nas grimpas em que se empilham as placas do itacolomito avassalando as alturas, aviva todos os acidentes, desde os maciços que vão de Ouro Branco a Sabará, à zona diamantina expandindo-se para nordeste nas chapadas que se desenrolam nivelando-se às cimas da serra do Espinhaço; e esta, apesar da sugestiva denominação de Eschwege, mal sobressai, entre aquelas lombadas definidoras de uma situação dominante. Dali descem, acachoantes, para o levante, tombando em catadupas ou saltando "travessões" sucessivos, todos os rios que do Jequitinhonha ao Doce procuram os terraços inferiores do planalto arrimados à serra dos Aimorés; e volvem águas remansadas para o poente os que se destinam à bacia de captação do S. Francisco, em cujo vale, depois de percorridas ao sul as interessantes formações calcárias do rio das Velhas, salpintadas de lagos, solapadas de sumidouros e ribeirões subterrâneos, onde se abrem as cavernas do homem pré-histórico de Lund, se acentuam outras transições na contextura superficial do solo. De fato, as camadas anteriores, que vimos superpostas às rochas graníticas, decaem, por sua vez sotopondo-se a outras, mais modernas de espessos estratos de grés. Novo horizonte geológico reponta com um traço original e interessante. Mal estudado embora, caracteriza-o notável significação orográfica, porque as cordilheiras dominantes do sul ali se extinguem, soterradas, numa inumação estupenda, pelos possantes estratos mais recentes, que as circundam. A terra, porém, permanece elevada, alongando-se em planuras amplas, ou avultando em falsas montanhas de denudação, descendo em aclives fortes, mas tendo os dorsos alargados em plainos inscritos num horizonte de nível,...

Registros da medicina romana, egípcia, persa e hebraica mostram que ervas eram utilizadas de forma extensiva para curar praticamente todas as doenças conhecidas pelo homem. Muitas ervas contém poderosos ingredientes que, se usados corretamente, podem ajudar a curar o corpo. Nos seus primórdios, a indústria farmacêutica baseava-se na sua capacidade de isolar esses ingredientes e torná-los disponíveis em uma forma mais pura. Contudo, os herbalistas alegam que a natureza colocou na mesma erva outros ingredientes que se equilibram com os ingredientes mais poderosos. Esses outros componentes, embora relativamente menos poderosos, podem ajudar a servir de intermediário, sinergista ou contrapeso quando trabalham de forma harmônica com o ingrediente mais poderoso. Portanto, ao usar essas ervas na sua forma completa, o processo de cura do corpo utiliza os ingredientes oferecidos pela natureza de uma forma mais equilibrada.

Research paper thumbnail of Image transmission in UAV MIMO UWB-OSTBC system over Rayleigh channel using multiple description coding (MDC)

Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Volume 2: Deployment and Applications, 2020

Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication... more Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication system are new techniques with high performance that have many applications in wireless telecommunications. This chapter presents an image transfer technique for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a UWB system using a hybrid structure of the MIMO-OSTBC wireless environment in Multiple Description Coding (MDC) deals. MDC technique for image transmission is a new approach in which there is no record of it so far. This ensures that in the packet loss scenario due to channel errors, images with acceptable quality with no need for retransmission can be reconstructed. The proposed system is implemented using a different number of transmitter and receiver antennas UAV. Assuming a Rayleigh model for the communication channels, the MDC image transmission performance is compared with single description coding (SDC). Experimental results confirm that the proposed hybrid method has better performance than the single description coding.

A methodology for dealing with the Man-Hour (MH) distribution in a cellular type Healthcare Organization (HCO) is introduced, and its goal is to maximize the use of resources and workforce. The problem is modeled via Linear Programming (LP), which results in a minimal cost flow problem with the simplex algorithm. The proposed framework (MCFP) can motivate individuals, reward ability and individual knowledge (not only moneywise) plus improving patient care. Such model can help to devise a software tool for decision making with performance and efficiency; it brings direct profit for the HCO and its staff due to the superior management of their MHs, and it increases the benefits to the community they serve. The methodology models MHs in an HCO to optimize management, decision-making tasks, and resource distribution.

Interval arithmetic is also utilized for developing the proposed method in the presence of uncertainties with only lower and upper bounds of parameters. In the proposed method, the equation of motion, performance index, and boundary conditions are first changed into some algebraic equations. This process converts the problem into an optimization problem. The presented technique is based on an interval extension of Chebyshev polynomials where its coefficients are achieved by world cup optimization algorithm, as a new optimization algorithm. The proposed method approximates the control and state variables as a function of time. The proposed solution is based on state parameterization, such that the state variable is approximated by the proposed interval Chebyshev polynomials with unknown interval coefficients. Finally, by solving the baseline problem in the presence of interval uncertainties, the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated.

Error concealment intends to improve the effects of disturbances at the reception due to bit-errors or cell loss in packet networks. Bregman regularization gives accurate answers after just some iterations with fast convergence, better accuracy and stability. This technique has an adaptive nature: the regularization functional is updated according to Bregman functions that change from iteration to iteration according to the nature of the neighborhood under study at iteration n. Numerical experiments show that high-quality regularization parameter estimates can be obtained. The convergence is sped up while turning the regularization parameter estimation less empiric, and more automatic.

Research paper thumbnail of Emergency Response Cyber-Physical Framework for Landslide Avoidance with Sustainable Electronics †

Technologies, 2018

Uncomplicated detection circuits using salvaged components can pinpoint floods in impoverished regions. CPSs simplify hazard prediction and mitigation in disaster supervision. Nonetheless, few green practices and efforts have been accomplished in this regard. Recent technical advances help landslides studies and the evaluation of suitable risk alleviation measures. This work addresses in situ meters, and cameras to observe ground movements more accurately. The ER-CPS identifies and can help mitigate landslides using techniques based on motion detection that can productively predict and monitor the zone conditions to classify it, and the landslide-related data can be transmitted to inspecting stations to lessen the erosion/sedimentation likelihood while increasing security.

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) facilitates an open and clear data infrastructure to handle publication products. ORCID is a unique identifier that accepts data interoperability for funders, industries, and publishers by exploring indicators for research aspects that they aspire to evaluate instead of using current indicators because they are readily accessible. This manuscript examines the use of ORCID for publication metrics, grant applications, management and reporting platforms. The benefits of ORCID offer a quick way to promote and organize a researcher's work as well as to foster better communication among researchers.

For a human enterprise to be sustainable, it must have four basic characteristics: environmental correctness, economical viability, socially impartial, and culturally acceptable. Through studies on the floating type mono-column - SSP300 - we use a plate-spring system as a transducer, which captures and converts mechanical energy from sea waves into electrical energy stored for use in health care facilities at low cost. The net result is a system for clean and renewable energy production that bears in mind the sustainability concept. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sustentabilidade é um conceito sistêmico, relacionado com a continuidade dos aspectos econômicos, sociais, culturais e ambientais da sociedade humana. Propõe-se a ser um meio de configurar a civilização e atividade humanas, de tal forma que a sociedade, os seus membros e as suas economias possam preencher as suas necessidades e expressar o seu maior potencial no presente, e ao mesmo tempo preservar a biodiversidade e os ecossistemas naturais, planejando e agindo de forma a atingir pró-eficiência na manutenção indefinida desses ideais. A sustentabilidade abrange vários níveis de organização, desde a vizinhança local até o planeta inteiro. Para um empreendimento humano ser sustentável, tem de ter em vista 4 requisitos básicos: Empreendimento ecologicamente correto; economicamente viável; socialmente justo; e culturalmente aceitável. Através de estudos sobre a unidade flutuante do tipo monocoluna - SSP300 -, constatamos que esta pode receber um Sistema Chapa-mola, o qual capta energia mecânica e converte em energia elétrica armazenada para utilização em instalações de serviços. Desta forma, temos um meio limpo e renovável de produção energética, podendo ser enquadrado no quadro de sustentabilidade. Palavras-chave: Energia, Fontes renováveis, Sustentabilidade."

This chapter is organised around the potential benefits of the Cloud: (1) Big Data (BD) access to visual libraries containing representations/descriptive data, images, video, maps and flight paths, (2) Cloud Computing (CC) functionalities for Grid Computing (GC) on demand for statistical analysis, Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, Computational Intelligence (CI) applications and flight planning, (3) Collective UAV Learning (CUL) where UAVs share their trajectories, control guidelines and mission outcomes and (4) human-machine collaboration through crowdsourcing for analysing high-dimensional high-resolution (HDHR) images/ video, classification of scenes/objects/entities, learning and error correction/ concealment. The Cloud can also expand UAV-CPSs by offering (a) data sets, models, all sorts of literature, HDHR benchmarks and software/hardware simulators, (b) open competitions for UAV-CPS designs with Open Source Hardware (OSH) and (c) Open-Source Software (OSS). This chapter talks about some open challenges and new trends in UAV-CPSs.

Inventariou-se as máquinas existentes, onde pôde ser identificada a necessidade de uma estruturação do cabeamento que conecta as máquinas em rede, e de alguns reparos de hardware e troca de periféricos. Em seguida, foi feita a instalação e configuração de software das máquinas. Foi verificado que o laboratório ainda não tem acesso à internet, mas essa questão já está sendo resolvida pelo colégio junto à Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro para a instalação da Velox. Há muitos obstáculos a isto Também foi feita uma avaliação do software SGE, de uso obrigatório para as escolas estaduais do estado do Rio de Janeiro, de acordo com a Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro. Este software gerencia o controle de notas dos alunos do colégio, informação interessante para ser disponibilizada por consulta ao web site. Será estudada a possibilidade da utilização do banco de dados do SGE para dispor os boletins dos alunos no web site. Foi verificada a necessidade de cursos básicos de informática para professores, funcionários e alunos, visando capacitá-los a lidar com o computador como ferramenta facilitadora do trabalho, levando aos funcionários uma proposta de automatização dos servidos administrativos. Incentivou-se os professores a: utilizarem softwares para melhorar a qualidade das aulas e estimularem os alunos a pesquisarem na internet, preparando-os para lidar com a atualização do web site do colégio, ministrar cursos e promover a inclusão digital.

Research paper thumbnail of On improving sub-pixel accuracy by means of B-spline

2014 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST) Proceedings, 2014

ABSTRACT Local perturbations nearby contours strongly perturb the final result of processing remo... more ABSTRACT Local perturbations nearby contours strongly perturb the final result of processing remotely sensed images (RSI). It is common to establish a priori data to aid the estimation process. One can move some steps forward by means of a deformable model, for example, the snake model. In up to date research, the deformable contour is represented via B-spline snakes, which allows local control, concise depiction, and the use of fewer parameters. The estimation of edges with sub-pixel accuracy via a global B-spline depiction depends on determining the edge according to a Maximum Likelihood (ML) agenda and using the observed information likelihood. This practice guarantees that outliers present in data will be cleaned out. The data likelihood is calculated as a result of the observation model comprising both orientation and position data. Experiments where this procedure and the traditional spline interpolation have revealed that the algorithm introduced outperforms the conventional method for Gaussian as well as Salt and Pepper noise.

It demands accessible data in medical archives and from medical equipment, to infer meaning after some processing. A problem similar in some sense to the target image can aid clinicians. CBIR complements text-based retrieval and improves evidence-based diagnosis, administration, teaching, and research in healthcare. It facilitates visual/automatic diagnosis and decision-making in real-time remote consultation/screening, store-and-forward tests, home care assistance and overall patient surveillance. Metrics help comparing visual data and improve diagnostic. Specially designed architectures can benefit from the application scenario. CBIR use calls for file storage standardization, querying procedures, efficient image transmission, realistic databases, global availability, access simplicity, and Internet-based structures. This chapter recommends important and complex aspects required to handle visual content in healthcare.
