	abstract = {<p>Qualitative assessment of general movements in preterm infants is widely used in clinical practice. It can enable early detection of neurological dysfunctions and consequent neuromotor impairments in high risk infants. However, the outcome of these assessments is not standardized and it is influenced by examiner{\textquoteright}s subjective interpretation. For this reason, there is an increasing interest in the use of automated movement recognition technologies being applied in this field. In this work, we use a video-based system for preterm infant{\textquoteright}s movements assessment to provide a 3<em>D</em>\&nbsp;motion analysis method able to extract some important indicators from the sequence of depth images collected by using an RGB-D sensor placed over the infant lying on the crib. The advantage of the proposed method is that it is objective, contactless, non-invasive, easy to install, affordable and suitable to be used in an indoor environment with poor lighting, as might be rooms in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where these infants are taken into care. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to derive from statistical analysis of depth data some key performance indicators, each of which describes different characteristics of the infant{\textquoteright}s spontaneous movements. Preliminary tests are conducted in the experimental phase on a preterm infant hospitalized in a women{\textquoteright}s and children{\textquoteright}s hospital. The project can be used to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of spontaneous movements and the presence of pathologies as cerebral palsy or other minor neurological dysfunctions.</p>

	abstract = {Abstract The development of reliable and precise indoor localization systems would considerably improve the ability to investigate shopper movements and behaviour inside retail environments. Previous approaches used either computer vision technologies or the analysis of signals emitted by communication devices (beacons). While computer vision approaches provide higher level of accuracy, beacons cover a wider operational area. In this paper, we propose a sensor fusion approach between active radio beacons and RGB-D cameras. This system, used in an intelligent retail environment where cameras are already installed for other purposes, allows an affordable environment set-up and a low operational costs for customer indoor localization and tracking. We adopted a Kalman filter to fuse localization data from radio signals emitted by beacons are used to track users{\textquoteright} mobile devices and RGB-D cameras used to refine position estimations. By combing coarse localization datasets from active beacons and RGB-D data from sparse cameras, we demonstrate that the indoor position estimation is strongly enhanced. The aim of this general framework is to provide retailers with useful information by analysing consumer activities inside the store. To prove the robustness of our approach, several tests were conducted into a real indoor showroom by analysing real customers behaviour with encouraging results.},

In this project, the famed painting the "Citt{\`a} Ideale" becomes a case to exemplify a specific approach to the digital mediation of cultural heritage. An augmented reality (AR) mobile application, able to enhance the museum visit experience, is presented. The computing technologies involved in the project (websites, desktop and social applications, mobile software, and AR) constitute a persuasive environment for the artwork knowledge. The overall goal of our research is to provide to cultural institutions best practices efficiently on low budgets. Therefore, we present a low cost method for high-resolution acquisition of paintings; the image is used as a base in AR approach. The proposed methodology consists of an improved SIFT extractor for real time image. The other novelty of this work is the multipoint probabilistic layer. Experimental results demonstrated the robustness of the proposed approach with extensive use of the AR application in front of the "Citt{\`a} Ideale" painting. To prove the usability of the application and to ensure a good user experience, we also carried out several users tests in the real scenario.},

With a complete on-board solution, based on artificial vision, the developed system is able to autonomously take off, navigate and land, recharging its battery by using a dedicated landing platform, both in indoor and outdoor scenarios. The landing platform includes a passive centering system to correct the landing error of the UAV, with a novel design wich reduce cost and increase the safety (thanks to small and isolated electrical contacts) without invasive hardware changes on the drone. The developed vision algorithm provides a fast and accurate measurement of UAV position with respect to the landing platform using a visual target, but at the same time it is able to automatically switch to an estimation of position that is independent from the visual target. This aspect is used during navigation or when the tracking of the target fails, ensuring a continuous position measurement feed to the controllers. The developed control system manages all the different phases of a mission (motor turning on/off, take off, navigation, landing,...) with low control error, ensuring a landing over the landing platform with an error that is lower than 5cm for both x and y axis. The developed software in ROS environment is modular and provides input/output interfaces to receive command, or send data. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

So, the aims of {\textquoteright}correct{\textquoteright} planogram are several and are: increasing sales, increasing profits, introducing a new item, supporting an innovative merchandising approach, and better manages the shelves. Deviating from the planogram defeats the purpose of any of those goals. A fundamental aspect in the retail operations is to maintain the integrity of the planogram. This work intends to provide a solution to this problem, proposing a system that individually identifies the presence of a specific product in the image of a shelf. This even though the product is moved, rotated, misplaced, or even in poor lighting conditions. This paper presents a method to find and count multiple instances of the same object that occurs into an image of a shelf in a store without using classifiers. The procedures here described are based on a heuristic algorithm that involves morphological operation, template matching and histogram comparison. Experimental results are presented in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. They demonstrate that the algorithm provides satisfactory results when the user manually chooses the most significant label of the product to find in the shelf image.},

In comparison with the most common solutions for designing embedded testing platforms the proposed framework sets itself at a higher level of abstraction. The proposed framework allows getting different, programmable test benches that can run in parallel, and it does not restrict the choice of hardware, sensors and actuators, as it happens with commercial development systems for the same kind of machines. The framework is conceived to be used on embedded boards equipped with the GNU/Linux operating system and with at least one network interface. By using open data formats, the framework provides an easy way to exchange data with enterprise information systems, thus assuring interoperability with different IT solutions. The paper includes the description of a cooker hood testing system designed and implemented with this framework, and which highlights the advantages of the proposed development method.},

The system of cameras detects the presence of people and univocally identifies them. Through the depth frames, the system detects the interactions of the shoppers with the products on the shelf and determines if a product is picked up or if the product is taken and then put back and finally, if there is not contact with the products.

In this paper we focus on the interaction between Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to extend the endurance of UAV, thanks to a novel landing/recharging platform. The UGV acts as a docking station and hosts the UAV during the indoor/outdoor transition and vice-versa. We designed a platform and a robust landing target to automate the fast recharge of UAV. The synchronization and coordination of cooperation is managed by a Ground Control Station (GCS) developed using a versatile software toolchain based on the integration of Stateflow, auto-generation of C-code and ROS. All the software components of UAV, UGV and GCS have been developed using ROS. The obtained results show that the UAV is able to land over the UGV with high accuracy (<5cm for both x and y axis) thanks to a visual position estimation algorithm, also in presence of wind (with gust up to 20-25km/h), recharging its batteries in a short time to extend its endurance. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The combination of photogrammetric aerial and terrestrial recording methods can provide new opportunities for photogrammetric applications. A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), in our case a helicopter system, can cover both the aerial and quasi-terrestrial image acquisition methods. A UAV can be equipped with an on-board high resolution camera and a priori knowledge of the operating area where to perform photogrammetric tasks. In this general scenario our paper proposes vision-based techniques for localizing a UAV. Only natural landmarks provided by a feature tracking algorithm will be considered, without the help of visual beacons or landmarks with known positions. The novel idea is to perform global localization, position tracking and localization failure recovery (kidnapping) based only on visual matching between current view and available georeferenced satellite images. The matching is based on SIFT features and the system estimates the position of the UAV and its altitude on the base of the reference image. The vision system replaces the GPS signal combining position information from visual odometry and georeferenced imagery. Georeferenced satellite or aerial images must be available on-board beforehand or downloaded during the flight. The growing availability of high resolution satellite images (e.g., provided by Google Earth or other local information sources) makes this topic very interesting and timely. Experiments with both synthetic (i.e., taken from satellites or datasets and pre elaborated) and real world images have been performed to test the accuracy and the robustness of our method. Results show sufficient performance if compared with common GPS systems and give a good performance also in the altitude estimation, even if in this last case there are only preliminary results. {\textcopyright} 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.},

Using a visual sensor network and the proposed tracking approach we are able to know and track the position of every bus in the exchange station and to send data to the planning station, which allocates slots for other busses and manages public information.

Experimental data are collected from a set of LiFePo4 cells tested in FAAM laboratories. The selection considers both experimental data and identified characteristics: Discharge Voltage, Open Circuit Voltage, Total Capacity and identified parameters from Randle{\textquoteright}s equivalent circuit modelling. The State of Charge variability within each selected group of cells has been chosen as the clustering criterion to find the method which gives the best results in terms of homogeneity of the battery. Simulation results consider an experimental EV load profile and show a great reduction of the SOC variability and, consequently, in the balance of the battery pack for all the methods presented compared to random selection.

Its applications to mobile robot localization are very popular, but an active approach to the problem of localization was never presented. An interesting question is: what is the best action that the robot should choose to localize itself in the minimum number of steps? This paper presents the Fast Particle Filtering (FPF) algorithm to select the best action that allows a fast global localization using particle filtering. The appropriateness of our approach is demonstrated empirically using a mobile robot equipped with low cost sonar sensors in a structured office environment. Comparisons with classical Bayesian filtering approaches are also presented to demonstrate the better performances and the lower computational cost of the FPF algorithm.

In particular, the correlation existing between the crosstalk-free configurations of the switch and the 4-colorability properties of the correspondent permutation graphs is demonstrated. Then, the theorems presented in this paper allow to define a method to identify either such crosstalk-free configurations, or their relative optimal permutations partitions.},

	abstract = {The paper describes a novel comprehensive approach to image-contrast enhancement in the spatial domain. Instead of defining another transformation function our strategy consists of adopting a general functional form, able to map different transformation functions, and in using a learning technique to select the parameter values that are optimal for the image being processed. First, local measures of spatial activity are assigned to each pixel of the image. Second, the local contrast value for each pixel is computed according to a function which is based on human visual response. Third, the parameters of a comprehensive contrast-enhancement function are selected by a genetic algorithm on the basis of the spatial activity of the image resulting from the transformation. The validity of the proposed technique is confirmed both perceptually, that is, higher fitness values correspond to the images that have been judged better by human observers, and by comparative evaluations of our algorithm with respect to classical methods. {\textcopyright} 1999 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The paper describes a system to control vehicle accesses in restricted areas. The signalling of vehicles whose license- plates do not belong to a specific database is the aim of the system. The adaptation to different environmental conditions, and the identification of a vehicle by processing the license- plate pattern as a whole, without considering the recognition of the characters, are its two main characteristics. The system implements a recognition engine constituted by two modules. First, the system analyzes the video-recorded sequences to select a frame in which the license-plate satisfies pre-defined constraints, and extracts the license- plate template on which the matching with the model templates stored in the database will be performed. Second, vehicle identification is performed by a genetic template matching that, without requiring a high computational complexity, provides adaptation to normal environmental variations by exploiting learning capabilities. The implemented system, forced to distinguish only between authorized and unauthorized vehicles according to a threshold in the genetic fitness function, shows robust performance on Italian cars, but it is adaptable to different license-plate models, and is independent from outdoor conditions. {\textcopyright}2003 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.},

The system identifies the target and tracks a sequence of video-recorded images without losing the object by using a genetic algorithm (GA)-based learning to adapt template matching processes to environmental conditions.

While the overload using the GA is minimal if it is not necessary to change template model, in all other cases the GA offers a better solution to the search the associated search and optimization problem than usual algorithms.},

The objective is to develop automatic procedures for supporting human operators in the real-time analysis of images acquired by means of cameras mounted on underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV). Implementation of such procedures gives rise to a human-machine system for underwater pipeline inspection that can automatically detect and signal the presence of the pipe, of its structural or accessory elements, and of dangerous or alien objects in its neighborhood. The possibility of modifying the image acquisition rate in the simulations performed on video-recorded images is used to prove that the system performs all necessary processing with an acceptable robustness working in real-time up to a speed of about 2.5 kn, widely greater than that the actual ROVs and the security features allow. {\textcopyright} 1996 SPIE and IS\&T.},

To evaluate the effects of the medical visit on BP levels, we divided the subjects into 3 groups: I) Hypertensive subjects, II) Treated hypertensive subjects, III) Normotensive subjects (control group). The Systolic Arterial Pressure (SAP) in normotensive subjects reached maximum levels during the first medical visit and then decreased in the following two controls (p<0.001). The Diastolic Arterial Pressure (DAP) did not show any significant changes during the three measurements (p=n.s.). Instead the maximum level of SAP in the hypertensive group did not appear at the First measurement but only after 5 minutes and was seen to decrease towards the end of the visit (p<0.001). Even DAP showed different levels compared to the normotensives: A decrease in BP levels was registered after 15 minutes respect to earlier measurements (p<0.01). The levels of group II were similar to those of normotensive subjects.},

(ii) isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) was found in 1.7, 23.6 and 3.9\% in the adult, old and very old subjects, respectively. (iii) The association of AH with some of the more common cardiovascular risk factors (dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, obesity, etc.) was significant for all the risk factors in the adult group, while in the old group there was a significant association only with the body mass index. (iv) Blood pressure (BP) values during the medical visits were evaluated, and adult versus old subjects were compared, but no significant differences were found. {\textcopyright} 1992 Elsevier Science Pablishers B.V.
