A Marker-Based Image Processing Method for Detecting Available Parking Slots from UAVs
Abstract: Due to the considerable number of vehicles in many cities, parking problem is a long-term phenomenon and represents one of the main causes of traffic congestion. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can handle automatic monitoring of traffic, pollution and other interesting services in urban areas non-invasively. UAVs are usually equipped with one or more onboard cameras […]
Early Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases by Handwritten Signature Analysis
Abstract: Handwritten signatures are generally considered a powerful biometric traits for personal verification. Recently, handwritten signatures have been also investigated for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. This paper presents a new approach for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases by the analysis of handwritten dynamic signatures. For the purpose, the sigma-lognormal model was considered and dynamic parameters […]
Off-line signature stability by optical flow: Feasibility study of predicting the verifier performance
Abstract: Prediction of performance in Off-line Automatic Signature Verification (ASV) per signer is one of the important topics regarding to automatic verification. It could be hypothesized that the performance of a signer is related to its global stability. This way, the more stable the signer signatures, the smaller the area of its feature space is, being […]
A survey on traffic light detection
Abstract: Traffic light detection is an important matter in urban environments during the transition to fully autonomous driving. Many literature has been generated in the recent years approaching different pattern recognition strategies. In this paper we present a survey summarizing relevant works in the field of detection of both suspended and supported traffic light. This survey […]

Hydro-Tech, an integrated decision support system for sustainable irrigation management: (I) main algorithms and field testing
Abstract: In the framework of a specific project supported by the EC-ERDF programme in the Apulia Region (Italy), a local consortium of private ICT companies and Research institutions is currently developing and testing a Decision Support System called ‘HydroTech’ (HT-DSS), which aims to integrate the latest scientific knowledge on crop water requirements and irrigation scheduling with […]
An auction based agency for demand side management system: An evaluation
Abstract: Aim of this work is to present a model of an intelligent short term demand side management system (DSM) based on a distributed measurement and management data system. The system is designed to improve the profitability of modern self-production energy plants reducing the power consumption and maintaining the same comfort level for users. The DSM […]
Document Image Retrieval by Layout Analysis
Abstract: A new layout-based document image retrieval system is presented in this paper. The system is specifically designed for commercial form retrieval and uses mathematical morphology to extract structural components from the document image. Document layout description is performed by the Radon Transform whereas Dynamic Time Warping is used for matching. The experimental results have […]
Layout-Based Document-Retrieval System by Radon Transform Using Dynamic Time Warping
Abstract: In the context of sustainability of document management technologies, this paper presents a new system for layout-based document retrieval specifically designed for commercial form retrieval. The system first uses a technique based on mathematical morphology to extract grid-based structural components from the document image. Successively, Radon Transform is used for document layout description. A document […]
