Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel fully probabilistic solution to the stereo egomotion estimation problem. We extend the notion of probabilistic correspondence to the stereo case which allow us to compute the whole 6D motion information in a probabilistic way. We compare the developed approach against other known state-of-the-art methods for stereo egomotion estimation, and the obtained results compare favorably both for the linear and angular velocities estimation.

Abstract
The fish farming industry is becoming widespread all over the world. By 2039 most of the fish we eat will come from the fish farming industry. In this work, we propose an autonomous robotic solution for indoor fish farming biomass estimation. Our proposed system moves silently on top of the tank borders using differential wheels and a structured light vision system (SLS). The SLS system is composed by a camera and two line lasers (projectors) equipped with a line beam that allows to obtain the fish depth profile present in the tank to perform biomass estimation. Results in laboratory and in real aquaculture environment with live fish are presented.

Supervised Classification for Hyperspectral Imaging in UAV Maritime Target Detection

Abstract
This paper addresses the use of a hyperspectral image system to detect vessels in maritime operational scenarios. The developed hyperspectral imaging classification methods are based on supervised approaches and allow to detect the presence of vessels using real hyperspectral data. We implemented two different methods for comparison purposes: SVM and SAM. The SVM method, which can be considered one of most utilized methods for image classification, was implemented using linear, RBF, sigmoid and polynomial kernels with PCA for dimensionality reduction, and compared with SAM using a two classes definition, namely vessel and water. The obtained results using real data collected from a UAV allow to conclude that the SVM approach is suitable for detecting the vessel presence in the water with a precision and recall rates favorable when compared to SAM.

Publicação
OCEANS 2017 - ANCHORAGE

Abstract
This paper focus on the use of unmanned aerial vehicle teams for performing cooperative perception using Data Distribution Service (DDS) Network. We develop a DDS framework to manage the incoming and out bounding network traffic of multiple types of data that is exchanged inside the UAV network. Experimental results both in laboratory and in actual flight are presented to help characterize the proposed system solution.

Hyperspectral Imaging for Real-Time Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Maritime Target Detection

Autores

Publicação
JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT & ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

Abstract
This work address hyperspectral imaging systems use for maritime target detection using unmanned aerial vehicles. Specifically, by working in the creation of a hyperspectral real-time data processing system pipeline. We develop a boresight calibration method that allows to calibrate the position of the navigation sensor related to the camera imaging sensor, and improve substantially the accuracy of the target geo-reference. We also develop an unsupervised method for segmenting targets (boats) from their dominant background in real-time. We evaluated the performance of our proposed system for target detection in real-time with UAV flight data and present detection results comparing favorably our approach against other state-of- the-art method.

Supervised vs Unsupervised Approaches for Real Time Hyperspectral Imaging Maritime Target Detection

Autores

Publicação
2018 OCEANS - MTS/IEEE KOBE TECHNO-OCEANS (OTO)

Abstract
This paper addresses the use of supervised and unsupervised methods for classification of hyperspectral imaging data in maritime border surveillance domain. In this work supervised (SVM) and unsupervised (HYDADE) approaches were implemented. An evaluation benchmark was performed in order to compare methods results using real hyperspectral imaging data taken from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in maritime border surveillance scenario.
