The availability of high-resolution remote sensing (HRRS) data has opened up the possibility for new interesting applications, such as per-pixel classification individual objects in greater detail. This paper shows how a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be applied to multispectral orthoimagery and digital surface model (DSM) small city full, fast accurate classification. predicted low-level pixel classes are then used improve high-level segmentation. Various design choices CNN...

Safety in human-robot interaction can be divided into physical safety and perceived safety, where the latter is still under-addressed literature. Investigating requires a multidisciplinary perspective. Indeed, often considered as being associated with several common factors studied other disciplines, i.e., comfort, predictability, sense of control, trust. In this paper, we investigated relationship between these using subjective objective measures. We conducted two-by-five mixed-subjects...

Virtual reality (VR) is regarded as a useful tool for teleoperation systems and provides operators with immersive visual feedback on the robot environment. However, without any haptic or physical constructions, VR-based normally suffer from poor maneuverability, operational faults may be caused in some fine movements. In this article, we employ mixed (MR), which combines real virtual worlds, to develop novel system. A new system design control algorithms are proposed. For design, an MR...
