REALKIN3D (Real-time, rEAListic, KINect-based, 3D reconstruction of moving objects)

A capturing system setup and an appropriate method for accurate, realistic, full 3D reconstruction of moving foreground objects and humans, has been developed. The system uses multiple Kinect sensors and the developed software exploits currect GPU’s (Graphical Processing Units) capabilities to run i...

3D Object Recognition

Algorithms that have been proposed in the literature to perform 3D object recognition in range data, consist of an “off-line” and an “on-line” procedure. The extraction and store of features from known objects constitutes the “off-line” procedure. The “online” part encompasses two phases. The initia...

Methods for Robust Communication in Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radiofrequency Identification (RFID)

The system Ultra Wide Band (UWB) - RFID is made by a reader that interrogates multiple tags (passive or semi-passive) in the vicinity by transmitting a query signal. The tags respond to reader via backscatter modulation that is to vary the load as a function of the antenna that the tag sends the rea...

Method for the attenuation of the micro-wave reflection

The technical problem the invention tries to solve is therefore to develop a method for the attenuation of electromagnetic waves, whose operational steps to implement it with waves of different frequence yeasily. The basic idea for solving this problem consists to attenuate waves through a plasma a...

Method for artificially reproducing an output signal of a non-linear time invariant system

The method and software developed in the patented invention allow to reproduce the acoustic effects that a non-linear system (as for example sound chests, valve preamplifiers, overdrives, etc…) produces on a sound, so that an acoustic effect going close to the real one can be obtained. Thanks to th...

VECON (VEhicle COntrol and Navigation) System

A major problem in the use of Fleet management systems in an urban area is the lack of accurate digital maps. Also, the GIS software platform used for providing network analysis capabilities needs traffic data which are not always available or up-to-date. VECON system is operating based on the conce...

Virtual Human Modeling

VHM is a research framework that develops, validates and assesses tools for built-in accessibility support at all stages of ICT and non-ICT product development, including specification, design, development and testing. The goal is to introduce simulation-based and virtual reality testing at all stag...

Personalized Web Accessibility Assessment Tool

Typically, Web accessibility assessment software is developed in a monolithic way: a procedure (or set of procedures) is run against a representation of an HTML page, testing the different validation criteria as specified in a given domain-specific accessibility guideline. However, in the case of th...
