The proposed only uses persistent range–Doppler radar, avoiding restrictions optical sensors, usually required recognition part. processing is based on constant false...
Missions involving Unmanned Aerial Vehicle usually consist of reaching a set regions, performing some actions in each region, and returning to determined depot after all the regions have been successfully visited or before fuel/battery is totally consumed. Hence, planning route becomes an important task for many applications, especially if team Vehicles considered. From this team, coordination cooperation are expected optimize results mission. In paper, system managing multiple cooperative...
Automatic visual object counting and video surveillance have important applications for home business environments, such as security management of access points.

Vehicle monitoring using camera networks is an important task for traffic applications. Moreover, it becomes critical in nighttime, when the probability of accident considerably increases as visibility conditions worsen. Typical approaches are mostly based on assumption that regions delimiting vehicle lights well defined, so they segmented and then associated to entities. However, this fails images acquired by existing networks, where revealed flashes other complex light patterns, occupying...
