The recent widespread adoption of drones for studying marine animals provides opportunities deriving biological information from aerial imagery. large scale imagery data acquired is well suited machine learning (ML) analysis. Development ML models analyzing animal has followed the classical paradigm training, testing, and deploying a new model each dataset, requiring significant time, human effort, expertise. We introduce Frame Level ALIgment tRacking (FLAIR), which leverages video...
We present a very simple and versatile fiber optic sensor for liquid level measurements based on the Archimedes' law of buoyancy. It includes proper mass suspended in with one end fixed to Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensor, while remaining termination is rigid support. When increases inside tank, load exerted by optical reduced as consequence increase force acting immersed according buoyancy, leading reduction applied FBG. The proposed device able perform real time continuous measurements,...
This paper deals with a new method for the continuous and remote monitoring of bonding quality Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) bonded structures. The proposed approach is based on use Bragg Gratings (FBGs) sensors relies dependence their temperature-induced strain sensitivity, generated by local inductions (even small) thermal changes, bonding. Bonding composite laminates structural solution often adopted in aeronautics. presence disbonded areas during production normally...
This work deals with the fabrication, prototyping, and experimental validation of a fiber optic thermo-hygrometer-based soil moisture sensor, useful for rainfall-induced landslide prevention applications. In particular, we recently proposed new generation Bragg grating (FBGs)-based sensors irrigation purposes. device was realized by integrating, inside customized aluminum protection package, FBG thermo-hygrometer polymer micro-porous membrane. Here, first verify limitations, in terms...
The determination of the amount moisture in soil is crucial several application fields such as agricultural, geotechnical, hydrological, and environmental engineering. In this paper, we propose use an advanced all-optical self-heated sensing platform for highly sensitive repeatable monitoring volumetric water content (VWC). proposed realized by integrating, inside a standard metallic needle, fiber optic heating device integrated with Bragg grating sensor (FBG) acting thermal monitor. all...
In the framework of intelligent traffic surveillance, we propose a system for efficiently storing and retrieving moving objects' trajectories extracted from surveillance cameras. We index spatio-temporal data by using method based on off-the-shelf (widely available) bi-dimensional indexes enhanced segmentation stage. The proposed does not restrict choice parameters range queries at query time, unlike clustering similarity-based methods do. experimental results, obtained standard PC-based...
We report on the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors integrated onto an aircraft landing gear for remote and realtime load monitoring. Several FBGs strain sensors, both in a linear tri-axial configuration, have been different locations true gears (both Main Nose gears) based their condition derived from FEM numerical analysis exposed to numerous qualification lab tests where applied was varied range 0-20kN. To this aim, were mounted 25kN hydraulic press, that changed shock absorber...
This work deals with the development of fiber optic sensors for measurement soil moisture and temperature over large areas. It has been carried out within Regional Project "Sensoristica in Fibra Ottica per il Risparmio Idrico - SFORI". The sensor system is based on Bragg gratings (FBGs) technology aimed at optimizing irrigation practice order to guarantee a sustainable water resources management. Two networks, each one FBG thermo-hygrometers, have realized installed two experimental sites....
Deutelio is a private initiative promoting an alternative path to fusion energy. The Tokamak research line pursued worldwide since 1970 met several difficulties, heavily jeopardising the objective of commercial energy production from before 2050, as support global effort towards Net Zero Emissions. As result, new plasma magnetic confinement concepts, such Stellarators or overlooked alternatives like poloidal are being achieve more efficiency and better performance. Polomac configuration...
In this contribution, we propose the use of an advanced all-optical self-heated sensing platform for highly sensitive monitoring volumetric water content (VWC) in soil. The sensor is realized by properly integrating, inside a standard metallic needle, fiber optic heating device based on core offset light coupling method and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) acting as thermal monitor. performance proposed was validated through series measurements range [9 - 36] %VWC soil temperature between 5 40 °C....
Abstract This research wants to present a highly-performing system establish the intellectual property of file by using advanced Information Fusion (IF) techniques. IF is different depending on fact that it can be textual file, an image or multimedial; indeed, further step consists in creating blue biometric codes with watermarking mechanisms based wavelet and packet respectively. Thanks reverse engineering algorithms which this work have generated, such seems particularly appropriate...
One of the most popular means asynchronous communication and rich repository user generated information over Internet is represented by online discussion forums. The capability a forum to satisfy usersâ needs as an source mainly determined its richness in information, but also way content (messages message threads) organized made navigable searchable. To ease navigation search forums we propose approach that introduces them complementary structure which enables searching navigating...
