Automatic verification of impurities for food applications

For Essedue alimentare we developed a colorimetric setup and a related algorithm to verify the presence of impurities inside the ‘gnocchi’ traditional food that they produce from potatoes (not from potatoes flower). Hereafter some results that we obtained in our…

Wood doors colorimetric control

This is an old application of colorimetry were the quality of furnishings wood doors had to be monitored after production and before assembly. The wood is a hard topic to characterize cromatically as far as it has the typical weft…

Joint Angle Estimation: Vicon Vs GaMoCap

One of the most interesting things we can do with our GaMoCap is computing joint angles for human motion; that means compute a real skeleton model for humans. Since we had the opportunity to use a Vicon system for few…

MoCap sequence

In the following table are shown 4 frames of a hip and knee motion sequence. On the left the 4 stereo acquisitions obtained with 8 cameras pointing toward the subject, on the right dark image the 3D reconstruction. 1th frame…

VERITAS – GaMoCap testing

Wednesday we tested the Garment Motion Capture system – GaMoCap, developed in our lab. It consists of a set of cameras looking toward the subject that wears a garment specially designed for our purpose. The lighting system is also very…

RoboEye – Eye Gaze human machine interaction for mobility

Here are presented some results of the RoboEye prototype, developed by MIRo in collaboration with Robosense and Xtrensa. (LINK ALTRI ARTICOLI) The project was realized from scratch, using a power wheelchair on the road of the disposal. The group managed…

Wheeled Mobile Robots WMR Research

In this section there are some bites of my current and past activities about AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) both on pure research and industrial fields. Hereafter a sequence of the results obtained in end august 2011 within the AGILE project…

Cooperative navigation of Underwater Autonomous Vehicles

By Luca Baglivo @ IST-Lisbon Captain Nemo would be astonished by looking at UAVs which are currently employed in a number of applications. To mention just a few of them: pipeline inspection, harbour patrolling, mapping and sampling, bio-monitoring. The UAVs…
