Alexander Schaub examines how a reactive instinctive behavior, similar to instinctive reactions as incorporated by living beings, can be achieved for intelligent mobile robots to extend the classic reasoning approaches. He identifies possible applications for reactive approaches, as they enable a fast response time, increase robustness and have a high abstraction ability, even though reactive methods are not universally applicable. The chosen applications are obstacle avoidance and relative positioning ? which can also be utilized for navigation ? and a combination of both. The implementation of reactive instinctive behaviors for the identified tasks is then validated in simulation together with real world experiments.

Owing to the complex interaction of vehicles with the environment and different traffic participants, an almost infinite number of possible scenarios and situations that need to be considered may exist. The book explains new methods to address this complexity, with reference to human interaction modelling, various theoretical approaches to the definition of real-world scenarios, and with practically-oriented examples and contributions, to ensure efficient development and testing of ADAS and ADF. Control Strategies for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Autonomous Driving Functions is a collection of articles by international experts in the field representing theoretical and application-based points of view. As such, the methods and examples demonstrated in the book will be a valuable source of information for academic and industrial researchers, as well as for automotive companies and suppliers.

If a camera takes a picture and no one notices, did it really happen? In this book, we’re going to show you how to make a working Raspberry Pi–based camera system so that you can capture time-lapse images and view via WiFi, trigger the camera if motion is detected, and even carry out basic facial recognition as an introduction to machine learning methods. Take a Raspberry Pi and add a camera module, and you have a programmable camera. Add some software, and you can start to do interesting surveillance and automatic object recognition work with it. Activate the Pi as a WiFi node and you can do all these wonderful things from a distance. A good surveillance system does more than take pictures. It should also turn those pictures into actionable information that increases your knowledge. That’s now easily done in software, and we’re going to show you how. This book pulls together a set of little tricks—setting up Pi cameras, making a Pi broadcast as a WiFi device, adding time lapse and motion detection and face recognition, and sticking a battery pack on it so it can function anywhere—to create portable spy cameras. We’ve used these rigs in everything from “Find the Pi” party contests, to implementing privacy-respecting security in our lab, to showing off modern tech like facial recognition. Other uses could include monitoring deer and wildlife, checking your house mailbox for mail arrival, and capturing time-lapse sequences of natural events or traffic patterns.

Introduction to Visual Computing: Core Concepts in Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing covers the fundamental concepts of visual computing. Whereas past books have treated these concepts within the context of specific fields such as computer graphics, computer vision or image processing, this book offers a unified view of these core concepts, thereby providing a unified treatment of computational and mathematical methods for creating, capturing, analyzing and manipulating visual data (e.g. 2D images, 3D models). Fundamentals covered in the book include convolution, Fourier transform, filters, geometric transformations, epipolar geometry, 3D reconstruction, color and the image synthesis pipeline. The book is organized in four parts. The first part provides an exposure to different kinds of visual data (e.g. 2D images, videos and 3D geometry) and the core mathematical techniques that are required for their processing (e.g. interpolation and linear regression.) The second part of the book on Image Based Visual Computing deals with several fundamental techniques to process 2D images (e.g. convolution, spectral analysis and feature detection) and corresponds to the low level retinal image processing that happens in the eye in the human visual system pathway. The next part of the book on Geometric Visual Computing deals with the fundamental techniques used to combine the geometric information from multiple eyes creating a 3D interpretation of the object and world around us (e.g. transformations, projective and epipolar geometry, and 3D reconstruction). This corresponds to the higher level processing that happens in the brain combining information from both the eyes thereby helping us to navigate through the 3D world around us. The last two parts of the book cover Radiometric Visual Computing and Visual Content Synthesis. These parts focus on the fundamental techniques for processing information arising from the interaction of light with objects around us, as well as the fundamentals of creating virtual computer generated worlds that mimic all the processing presented in the prior sections. The book is written for a 16 week long semester course and can be used for both undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as a reference for professionals.

The goal of the Volume I Geometric Algebra for Computer Vision, Graphics and Neural Computing is to present a unified mathematical treatment of diverse problems in the general domain of artificial intelligence and associated fields using Clifford, or geometric, algebra. Geometric algebra provides a rich and general mathematical framework for Geometric Cybernetics in order to develop solutions, concepts and computer algorithms without losing geometric insight of the problem in question. Current mathematical subjects can be treated in an unified manner without abandoning the mathematical system of geometric algebra for instance: multilinear algebra, projective and affine geometry, calculus on manifolds, Riemann geometry, the representation of Lie algebras and Lie groups using bivector algebras and conformal geometry. By treating a wide spectrum of problems in a common language, this Volume I offers both new insights and new solutions that should be useful to scientists, and engineers working in different areas related with the development and building of intelligent machines. Each chapter is written in accessible terms accompanied by numerous examples, figures and a complementary appendix on Clifford algebras, all to clarify the theory and the crucial aspects of the application of geometric algebra to problems in graphics engineering, image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, machine learning, neural computing and cognitive systems.

This book focuses on light invariant bare hand gesture recognition while there is no restriction on the types of gestures. Observations and results have confirmed that this research work can be used to remotely control a robotic hand using hand gestures. The system developed here is also able to recognize hand gestures in different lighting conditions. The pre-processing is performed by developing an image-cropping algorithm that ensures only the area of interest is included in the segmented image. The segmented image is compared with a predefined gesture set which must be installed in the recognition system. These images are stored and feature vectors are extracted from them. These feature vectors are subsequently presented using an orientation histogram, which provides a view of the edges in the form of frequency. Thereby, if the same gesture is shown twice in different lighting intensities, both repetitions will map to the same gesture in the stored data. The mapping of the segmented image's orientation histogram is firstly done using the Euclidian distance method. Secondly, the supervised neural network is trained for the same, producing better recognition results. An approach to controlling electro-mechanical robotic hands using dynamic hand gestures is also presented using a robot simulator. Such robotic hands have applications in commercial, military or emergency operations where human life cannot be risked. For such applications, an artificial robotic hand is required to perform real-time operations. This robotic hand should be able to move its fingers in the same manner as a human hand. For this purpose, hand geometry parameters are obtained using a webcam and also using KINECT. The parameter detection is direction invariant in both methods. Once the hand parameters are obtained, the fingers? angle information is obtained by performing a geometrical analysis. An artificial neural network is also implemented to calculate the angles. These two methods can be used with only one hand, either right or left. A separate method that is applicable to both hands simultaneously is also developed and fingers angles are calculated. The contents of this book will be useful for researchers and professional engineers working on robotic arm/hand systems. Read more...

This book is aimed at new and experienced engineers, technology managers, and senior technicians who want to enrich their understanding of the image formation physics of a lithographic system. Readers will gain knowledge of the basic equations and constants that drive optical lithography, learn the basics of exposure systems and image formation, and come away with a full understanding of system components, processing, and optimization. Readers will also get a primer on the outlook of optical lithography and the many next-generation technologies that may greatly enhance semiconductor manufacturing in the near future. Topics include: - Exposure Systems - Image Formation - The Meter of Lithography - Components in Optical Lithography - Processing and Optimization - Immersion Lithography - Outlook for optical lithography

Lithography, the fundamental fabrication process of semiconductor devices, is playing a critical role in micro- and nano-fabrications and the revolution in high density integrated circuits. Traditional optical lithography (photolithography) including contact and project photolithography has contributed significantly to the semiconductor device advancements. As the resolution requirement increases for fabrication of finer and smaller components and devices, the technological dependence on photolithography becomes a serious problem since the photolithography resolution is restricted by the diffraction limitation of optics. Reducing the light wavelength from blue to near ultraviolet (UV) and to deep UV is expected to improve the photolithography resolution, but it is far not enough to catch up with the pace in resolution demand in integrated circuit fabrication. To overcome the limitation of photolithography, several advanced lithography techniques have emerged including maskless laser direct write lithography to eliminate the needs of photo masks, gray-scale lithography to increase the aspect ratio of the lithographic features, immersion lithography to increase the numerical aperture of the focusing optics and thus the resolution, and lithographic techniques based on further reducing wavelengths for better resolution such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and X-ray lithography. The uses of particle waves like electrons and ion beams have resulted in high resolution electron beam (E-beam) lithography and ion beam lithography. Besides these wave and beam based lithographic techniques, there are also direct contact lithography such as soft lithography using soft molding and nanoimprint lithography with extremely high resolution. The plasmonic lithography is now in the horizon. This book is the result of inspirations and contributions from many researchers worldwide. Although the inclusion of the book chapters may not be a complete representation of all lithographic arts, it does represent a good collection of contributions in this field. We hope readers will enjoy reading the book as much as we have enjoyed bringing the book together. We would like to thank all contributors and authors of book chapters who entrusted us with their best work. We also acknowledge the great effort of people who had invested their time in reviewing manuscripts and revision updates. Each lithographic technique has its advantages and limitations. The conventional photolithography is not discussed here due to its technological maturity. This book begins with maskless, gray-scale, and immersion lithography since they are most close to the conventional photolithography in terms of resolution. Laser nonlinear lithography with capability of non-flat surface fabrication and character projection lithography are also included in this chapter. Further chapters present discussion on objective lens, resist materials and processing, and optical proximity correction.

The publication of Principles of Lithography, Third Edition just five years after the previous edition is evidence of the quickly changing and exciting nature of lithography as applied to the production of integrated circuits and other micro- and nanoscale devices. This text is intended to serve as an introduction to the science of microlithography, but also covers several subjects in depth, making it useful to the experienced lithographer as well. Topics directly related to manufacturing tools are addressed, including overlay, the stages of exposure, tools, and light sources. This updated edition reflects recent advances in technology, including the shift of immersion lithography from development into volume manufacturing, and the movement of EUV lithography from the lab to development pilot lines. New references and homework problems are included. It is expected that the reader of this book will have a foundation in basic physics and chemistry. No topics will require knowledge of mathematics beyond elementary calculus.

This thesis focuses on the electrochemical synthesis of multi-segmented nanowires. In contrast to previous work, which was largely limited to one-dimensional modifications, Tuncay Ozel presents a technique, termed coaxial Lithography (COAL), which allows for the synthesis of coaxial nanowires in a parallel fashion with sub-10 nanometer resolution in both the axial and radial dimensions. This work has significantly expanded current synthetic capabilities with respect to materials generality and the ability to tailor two-dimensional growth in the formation of core-shell structures. These developments have enabled fundamental and applied studies which were not previously possible. The COAL technique will increase the capabilities of many researchers who are interested in studying light-matter interactions, nanoparticle assembly, solution-dispersible nanoparticles and labels, semiconductor device physics and nanowire biomimetic probe preparation. The methodology and results presented in this thesis appeal to researchers in nanomaterial synthesis, plasmonics, biology, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis.

Nowadays, monitoring systems play a crucial role in any IT environment. They are extensively used to not only measure your system's performance, but also to forecast capacity issues. This is where Zabbix, one of the most popular monitoring solutions for networks and applications, comes into the picture. With an efficient monitoring system in place, you'll be able to foresee when your infrastructure runs under capacity and react accordingly. Due to the critical role a monitoring system plays, it is fundamental to implement it in the best way from its initial setup. This avoids misleading, confusing, or, even worse, false alarms that can disrupt an efficient and healthy IT department.

This book is designed to help students and professionals who use mathematics in their daily routine learn Mathematica®, a computer system designed to perform complex mathematical calculations. My approach is simple: learn by example. Along with easy to read descriptions of the most widely used commands, I have included a collection of over 750 examples and solved problems, each specifically designed to illustrate an important feature of the Mathematica software. No attempt has been made to discuss all the capabilities of Mathematica. As this is a book designed for first-time users at the undergraduate level, I have included those commands and options that are most commonly used in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. Most examples and solved problems are short and to the point. Comments have been included, where appropriate, to clarify what might be confusing to the reader. The reader is encouraged not only to replicate the output shown in the text, but to make modifications and investigate the resulting effect upon the output. I have found this to be the most effective way to learn the syntax and capabilities of this truly unique program. Over the years Mathematica has undergone a significant number of changes. This third edition incorporates all the changes in the command descriptions, examples, and solved problems. In addition, a comprehensive list of commands used in the book together with their descriptions is conveniently located in the appendix. The first three chapters serve as an introduction to the syntax and style of Mathematica. The structure of the remainder of the book is such that the reader need only be concerned with those chapters of interest to him or her. If, on occasion, a command is encountered that has been discussed in a previous chapter, the index may be used to conveniently locate the command’s description. Without a doubt you will be impressed with Mathematica’s capabilities. It is my sincere hope that you will use the power built into this software to investigate the wonders of mathematics in a way that would have been impossible just a few years ago.

This book aims to bring newcomers to natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning to a tasting table covering important topics in both areas. Both of these subject areas are growing exponentially. As it introduces both deep learning and NLP with an emphasis on implementation, this book occupies an important middle ground. While writing the book, we had to make difficult, and sometimes uncomfortable, choices on what material to leave out. For a beginner reader, we hope the book will provide a strong foundation in the basics and a glimpse of what is possible. Machine learning, and deep learning in particular, is an experiential discipline, as opposed to an intellectual science. The generous endtoend code examples in each chapter invite you to partake in that experience. When we began working on the book, we started with PyTorch 0.2. The examples were revised with each PyTorch update from 0.2 to 0.4. P yTorch 1.0 is due to release around when this book comes out. The code examples in the book are PyTorch 0.4–compliant and should work as they are with the upcoming PyTorch 1.0 release. A note regarding the style of the book. We have intentionally avoided mathematics in most places, not because deep learning math is particularly difficult (it is not), but because it is a distraction in many situations from the main goal of this book—to empower the beginner learner. Likewise, in many cases, both in code and text, we have favored exposition over succinctness. Advanced readers and experienced programmers will likely see ways to tighten up the code and so on, but our choice was to be as explicit as possible so as to reach the broadest of the audience that we want to reach.

This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1304 “Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)”. The book contains 14 chapters and constitutes a show-case of the main outcome of the Action in line with its scientific goals. It will serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate and post-graduate students, educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers, and research strategists working in this field. The explosive growth of the Internet has fundamentally changed the global society. The emergence of concepts like SOA, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, NaaS, and Cloud Computing in general has catalyzed the migration from the information-oriented Internet into an Internet of Services (IoS). This has opened up virtually unbounded possibilities for the creation of new and innovative services that facilitate business processes and improve the quality of life. However, this also calls for new approaches to ensuring the quality and reliability of these services. The objective of this book is, by applying a systematic approach, to assess the state-of-the-art and consolidate the main research results achieved in this area.
