Este documento presenta la comparación de tres metodologías de tratamiento de datos para la evaluación de la susceptibilidad a la ocurrencia de deslizamientos superficiales. Por un lado dos modelos estadísticos como el ...

Gas turbines play a key role in generating power. It is really important that they work efficiently, safely, and reliably. However, their performance can be adversely affected by factors such as component wear, vibrations, ...

La propiedad de generalización de una máquina de aprendizaje, es decir su capacidad para emitir una respuesta correcta ante una nueva entrada semejante a aquellas con las que ha sido entrenada, es la característica principal ...

More frequent and thorough inspection of sewer pipes has the potential to save billions in utilities. However, the amount and quality of inspection are impeded by an imprecise and highly subjective manual process. It ...

An exportable and robust system using only camera images is proposed for path execution in robot navigation. Motion information is extracted in the form of optical flow from SURF robust descriptors of consecutive frames, ...

We present a Bag-of-Visual-and-Depth-Words (BoVDW) model for gesture recognition, an extension of the Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) model, that benefits from the multimodal fusion of visual and depth features. State-of-the-art ...

To explore social bonds’ emergence with robots, a field study with 49 sixth grade scholars (aged 11-12 years) and 4 different robots was carried out at an elementary school. A subsequent laboratory experiment with 4 of ...
