The PhD student Annalisa Cenci attended the International Conference on Internet of Things and Machine Learning (IML 2017) held between the 17th and the 18th of October 2017 in the city of Liverpool in the United Kingdom.

She presented the paper: Cenci A., Liciotti D., Frontoni E., Zingaretti P. and Carnielli V. P. “Movements Analysis of Preterm Infants by Using Depth Sensor”.

Through its technical program, the IML 2017 Conference aims to provide an outstanding opportunity for both academic and industrial communities alike to address new trends and challenges, emerging technologies and progress in standards on topics relevant to today’s fast-moving areas of Internet of Things and Machine Learning. This conference will discuss new results in the fields of Internet of things and machine learning.

Il 25 settembre alla Mole Vanvitelliana di Ancona si è svolta una anteprima del Forum Meccatronica (in programma il 26 settembre). E' stata l’occasione per confrontarsi con interlocutori nazionali ed internazionali sullo stato dell’arte e l’evoluzione degli scenari dell’Industry 4.0 delle piccole e medie imprese manifatturiere marchigiane. Sono state presentate le esperienze di importanti realtà produttive del territorio: Benelli, Boxmarche Cobit, Doucal’s, Enke, Grottini, Paradisi, Pieretti, Valetenna, Semar e T-Trade. E sono stati raccontati i primi passi compiuti dalle aziende verso l’Industry 4.0,  i primi risultati ottenuti e infine gli sguardi verso il futuro attraverso le collaborazioni con l’Università Politecnica delle Marche e le altre realtà tecnologiche locali e internazionali. Spazio poi alla discussione sul prossimo bando regionale sull’industria 4.0,  per conoscere e confrontare esperienze locali e internazionali.  A dialogare con le imprese del territorio sarono state infatti le principali aziende tecnologiche europee: B&R Automazione Industriale, Balluff Automation, Bechkoff Automation, Bonfiglioli, Datalogic, ESA Automation, Hilscher, Lenze Italia, Mitsubishi Electric Europe, Omron Electronics, Phoenix Contact, Rittal, Schneider Electric, Sew-Eurodrive, Sick, Siemens, Team3D.  Ha moderato l’incontro Franco Canna,  Direttore di Innovation Post. Le stesse aziende tecnologiche sono poi le protagoniste del Forum Meccatronica (info su www.forumeccatronica.it) all’interno di 3 sessioni parallele dedicate alle tecnologie abilitanti per la digitalizzazione 4.0 dell’industria.  Due giorni intensi in cui le Marche saranno al centro delle riflessioni sullo sviluppo dell’industria manifatturiera nazionale.

Prof. Primo Zingaretti attended at ICIAP 2017, the 19th edition of a series of conferences organized biennially by the Italian Member Society (GIRPR) of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). He has presented the following papers:

• Paolanti, M., Kaiser, C., Schallner, R., Frontoni, E., and Zingaretti, P., "Visual and Textual Sentiment Analysis of brand-related social media pictures using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks";
• Liciotti, D., Paolanti, M., Frontoni, E., and Zingaretti, P., "People Detection and Tracking from an RGB-D Camera in Top-View Conguration: Review of Challenges and Applications".

The conference covers both classic and most recent trends in computer vision, pattern recognition and image processing, addressing both theoretical and applicative aspects, with particular emphasis (but not limited) to the following topics: Video Analysis & Understanding, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, Multiview Geometry and 3D Computer Vision, Image Analysis, Detection and Recognition, Multimedia, Biomedical and Assistive Technology, Information Forensics and Security, Imaging for Cultural Heritage and Archaeology.

Prof. Emanuele Frontoni, Prof. Primo Zingaretti and Marina Paolanti attended at the European Conference on mobile Robotics in Paris, last September 6-8, 2017. They have presented the following papers:

• Paolanti, M., Sturari, M., Mancini, A., Zingaretti, P., and Frontoni, E., "Mobile Robot for Retail Surveying and Inventory Using Visual and Textual Analysis of monocular pictures based on Deep Learning";
• Sturari, M., Paolanti, M., Mancini, A., Frontoni, E., and Zingaretti, P., "Robotic Platform for Deep Change Detection for Rail Safety and Security".

ECMR2017 was organized by ENSTA ParisTech, Université Paris-Saclay, France. The General Chair was Adriana Tapus (ENSTA ParisTech, France) and the Program Chair was Emanuele Frontoni (Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italia).
