    Article
    Open Access
    The semi-transparency property of smoke integrates it highly with the background contextual information in the image, which results in great visual differences in different areas. In addition, the limited annotation of ...
  • A hierarchical framework for collaborative artificial intelligence 

    Crowley, James L; Coutaz, Joëlle; Grosinger, Jasmin; Vázquez Salceda, Javier; Angulo Bahón, Cecilio; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Iocchi, Luca; Cohn, Anthony G. (2023-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    We propose a hierarchical framework for collaborative intelligent systems. This framework organizes research challenges based on the nature of the collaborative activity and the information that must be shared, with each ...
  • Efficient hand gesture recognition for human-robot interaction 

    Peral Sánchez, Marc; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Garrell Zulueta, Anais (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper, we present an efficient and reliable deep-learning approach that allows users to communicate with robots via hand gesture recognition. Contrary to other works which use external devices such as gloves [1] ...
  • Control-oriented estimation of the exchange current density in PEM fuel cells via stochastic filtering 

    Aguilar Plazaola, José Agustín; Andrade-Cetto, Juan; Husar, Attila Peter (2022-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Increasing efficiency and durability of fuel cells can be achieved through advanced model-based optimal control of its operating conditions, and the efficient online estimation of fuel cell parameters and internal states ...
  • Event-based line SLAM in real-time 

    Chamorro Hernández, William Oswaldo; Solà Ortega, Joan; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Article
    Open Access
    Event-based cameras generate asynchronous streams of events, triggered proportionally to the logarithmic change of brightness in the scene. These cameras have very low latency and high dynamic range suitable to address ...
  • WOLF: A modular estimation framework for robotics based on factor graphs 

    Solà Ortega, Joan; Vallvé Navarro, Joan; Casals, Joaquim; Deray, Jeremie; Fourmy, Mederic; Atchuthan, Dinseh; Corominas Murtra, Andreu; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Article
    Open Access
    This paper introduces WOLF, a C++ estimation framework based on factor graphs and targeted at mobile robotics. WOLF can be used beyond SLAM to handle self-calibration, model identification, or the observation of dynamic ...
  • Trends and Characteristics of Emergency Medical Services in Italy: A 5-Years Population-Based Registry Analysis 

    Campagna, Sara; Conti, Andrea; Starnini, Michele; Dalmasso Blanch, Marc; Gianino, Maria Michela; Borraccino, Alberto (2020-12-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    Background: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) plays a fundamental role in providing good quality healthcare services to citizens, as they are the first responders in distressing situations. Few studies have used available ...
  • Dual-branch CNNs for vehicle detection and tracking on LiDAR data 

    Vaquero Gómez, Víctor; del Pino Bastida, Iván; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc; Solà Ortega, Joan; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2021-11-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present a novel vehicle detection and tracking system that works solely on 3D LiDAR information. Our approach segments vehicles using a dual-view representation of the 3D LiDAR point cloud on two independently trained ...
