In the present work, we tackle the problem of modeling and evaluating performance in the context of embedded systems design. These have become essential for modern societies and experienced important evolution. Due to the growing demand on functionality and programmability, software solutions have g...

International audience The aim of the work is the analysis of the distribution of different types of the landscapes in the wetland tundra of the Yamal Peninsula. The Yamal Peninsula is important biogeographic region of the Arctic. It is located in the subarctic continental climate zone and crosses t...

Many real world-problems can be modelled as mathematical problems with nonnegative magnitudes, and, therefore, the solutions of these problems are meaningful only if their values are nonnegative. Examples of these nonnegative magnitudes are the concentration of components in a chemical compound, fre...

National hearing Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA) is challenging problem for which many different approaches have been proposed. These approaches can be based on statistical and signal processing methods such as Independent Component Analysis or can be based on our current knowledge abou...

Research in ergonomics and cognitive psychology point out difficulties in learning GIS (Medyckyj-Scott 1991, Nyerges 1991, Davies 1995 et, en France, Wurtz 1996). Our research is a follow-up of this work. It attempts to highlight the difficulties of learning GIS and possible ways exceed them, by und...

One of the main problems a medievalist might encounter is a complex issue of definition and categorisation of urban settlements. This problem emerges from the fact that it is not always a simple task to identify crucial characteristics upon which one can distinguish urban from rural places. It takes...

International audience Color vision is an impressive ability of human visual system. Three different types of cones in the retina, and then three postreceptoral cone-opponent mechanisms enable us to extract both luminance and chromatic information from our environment. Theories of efficient coding a...

This paper describes a real-time audio analysis/resynthesis system that we developed for a music piece for ensemble and electronics. The system combines real-time audio analysis and concatenative synthesis based on the segmentation of sound streams into constituting segments and the description of s...

We present in this paper a complete gestural interface built to support music pedagogy. The development of this prototype concerned both hardware and software components: a small wireless sensor interface including accelerometers and gyroscopes, and an analysis system enabling gesture following and...

This paper discusses the use of ‘Pogany’, an affective anthropomorphic interface, for expressive music performance. For this purpose the interface is equipped with a module for gesture analysis: a) in a direct level, in order to conceptualize measures capable of driving continuou...

The neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems are complex System of Systems (SoS) that perfectly interact to provide motion. This interaction is illustrated by the muscular force, generated by muscle activation driven by the Central Nervous System (CNS) which pilots joint motion. The knowledge of th...

In the Trans-Baikal Territory, there is a large number of landless flood-proof hydrotechnical structures built without proper design and control of the correctness of compliance with the production technology. Some of the dams have no owners and are not taken into account in the register of hydrauli...

Abstract<br /> Biometrics has received considerable attention in recent years to its importance in the life process that starts from security systems at airports and criminal investigations to electronic banking. The use of (biometrics) is the most important parameters used in the disclosure of the...

The restoration techniques are usually oriented toward modeling the type of degradation in order to infer the inverse process for recovering the given image. This approach usually involves the option for a criterion to numerically evaluate the quality of the resulted image and consequently the resto...

Assessing the applicability of Geographic Information Systems and Remotho sensory in the development of surveys in land use searches for environmental planning is the main objective of this study. The software used for digital map making and processing were: SITIM/SGI version 2.0 (INPE) and Idrisi v...

The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing for modeling groundwater potential give support for the analysis and decision-making processes about water resource management in watersheds. The objective of this work consisted in modeling the groundwater water potential of Siriri r...

ABSTRACT (eng) This study is based on the hypothesis that higher education in the 21st century must be developed in the context of the semantic web and knowledge, for this reason the educational model must define precisely what knowledge is and what knowledge is needed, it must define what are the...

Currently in the process of wind farm inspection, wind turbine blade appearance inspection mainly adopts the telescope or high-definition cameras, low detection efficiency, labor intensity and the precision is limited, in order to solve this problem, a kind of wind turbine blades defect recognition...

Relevance. The transformation and development of modern information technologies (IT) have affected the educational process of all educational institutions, which makes it necessary to justify the application of numerous pedagogical innovations using IT in the vocational training of future teachers....

Abstract<br /> This article presents the use of image processing technique to study the effect of injection current on the optical power distribution and laser spot cross-section (profile) of semiconductor laser type (AlGaInP). The arranged optical system specially designed to this purpose had taken...

The so-called object-based classification technique proposed by Baatz que Shäpe (2000) is an image processing approach in which the primitive unit is the object, composed of several pixels. Proprietary software such as oeCognition ® and open source like InterIMAGE carries out the processing of objec...

Este article to measure and calibrate the signal (IFEMCF) generated by equipment designed for continuous flocculation monitoring based on the principle of turbidity fluctuations. To this end, he was employed as a non-intrusive and dedicated image analysis technique and, for the acquisition of the im...

This article measures the distribution of green areas within the subdivisions of the municipality of Goiânia. It aims to verify if the regulation presented in Federal Law 6.766/1979, which regulates the Parcelamento do solo urbano, is being fulfilled regarding the reservation of at least 10% of the...
