We propose an innovative low cost smart system that can understand the shoppers{\textquoteright} behavior and, in particular, their interactions with the products in the shelves, with the aim to develop an automatic RGB-D technique for video analysis. 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. The system is low cost and easy to install, and experimental results demonstrated that its performances are satisfactory also in real environments.},

The vegetation, plant landscape and faunistic analysis allow the realization of a regional information system for wildlife-geobotanical data. A main characteristic of the SIT-REM is its flexibility and interoperability, in particular, its ability to be easily updated with the insertion of new types of environmental, faunal or socio-economic data and to generate analyses at any geographical (from regional to local) or quantitative level of detail. Different query levels obtain the latter: spatial queries, hybrid query builder and WMSs usable by means of a GIS.

The purpose of this work is to propose a stereoscopic vision system for dimensional measurements in an application of industrial robotics. The paper describes as a camera mounted on a six-axis robot manipulator cna calculate the real dimension of a target object. So, in the application the vision system is not composed by two physical cameras, bu tthe stero system is created by the mnovement of a single lcamera. The work provides a calibration procedure of the camera preliminary to the stage of actual measuremetn. Experimental results on a target with a simpole and well-defined shape have shown that the accuracy of the measurement is strongly influenced by a correct calibration.},

	abstract = {This paper aims to propose an innovative idea of an embedded intelligent, multimedia and interactive shop system where embedded vision systems can analyse human behaviours around shelves for interactivity and statistical purposes, mostly devoted to customer behaviour analysis, planogram maintenance and out of stock detection. We discuss the need for new services into the shop, involving consumers more directly and instigating them to increase their satisfaction and, as a consequence, their purchases. To do this, technology is very important and allows making interactions between costumers and products and between customers and the environment of the shop a rich source of marketing analysis. In particular we focus on concepts of monitoring and interactivity, introducing several emerging technologies in the field of retail environments. The main novelty of the paper is the general architecture of the system together with the introduction of a series of intelligent embedded systems, yet implemented and tested in a dataset recorded during the Euro Shop trade fair, in cooperation with Grottini group, a leading company in Retail Design industry based in Italy. Results are convincing and most of all the general architecture is affordable in this specific application. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2013 by ASME.},

This paper aims at providing a solution to the static summarization of echo-Doppler videos. A static summary of a video is a collection of keyframes together with a description of them. The selection of keyframes discussed in this paper is based on the analysis of properties of red blobs resulting from Power Doppler technique. The properties of red blobs are extracted by a robust thresholding algorithm in the HSL colour model and via a connected-component labelling algorithm. Keyframes extracted from the echo-Doppler video satisfy specific properties for the red blobs. The work is still in progress and we are now collecting data for the construction of a decision support system to help doctors in their diagnoses. First results are encouraging and future works will bring to an interesting computer-aided system. {\textcopyright} 2012 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and in particular quad-rotors are gaining an increasing interest owing to their flexibility and versatility. Today the challenge is to integrate these versatile platforms in a wide fleet in order to perform cooperative tasks as surveillance, search \& rescue, inspection. The coalition formation problem is a pre-condition for cooperative missions. This problem can be solved with different methodologies from biologically-inspired algorithms to parasocial consensus sampling ones. In this paper a new framework for simulation of unmanned vehicles in cooperative scenarios is first presented. Then a novel method that exploits the benefits of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for a coalition formation problem (leader-follower) is introduced. The obtained results evidence the good performance of MPC to solve the problem of coalition formation for unmanned aerial vehicles finding the optimal solution taking into account different kind of constraints. The developed framework allows also to easily change from simulated agent to real one. {\textcopyright} 2011 IEEE.},

	abstract = {A challenging problem in energy storage systems for electric vehicles is the efficiency use of lithium multicell batteries. Because of production tolerances, unbalanced cells can be overstressed during usage leading to the reduction of the available capacity and premature failure of the battery pack. In order to reduce this problem the Universit{\`a} Politecnica delle Marche and FAAM Group S.p.A. developed a method for the selection and classification of homogenous cells to form uniform battery pack using Self Organizing Maps neural networks. 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. Capacity and discharge voltage based methods give the best results over all.},

	note = {cited By 4},
	abstract = {In this paper a feature based single camera vision system for the safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The autonomous helicopter used for tests is required to navigate from an initial to a final position in a partially known environment, to locate a landing area and to land on it. The algorithm proposed for the detection of safe landing areas is based on the analysis of optical flow and of mutual geometric position of different kinds of features, observed from different points of view. Vision allows estimating the position and velocity of a set of features with respect to the helicopter while the onboard, hierarchical, behavior-based control system autonomously guides the helicopter. Results, obtained using real data and a real helicopter in a outdoor scenario, show the appropriateness of the vision-based approach. It does not require any artificial landmark (e.g., helipad), is able to estimate correctly and autonomously safe landing areas and is quite robust to occlusions.},

	year = {2009},
	note = {cited By 1},
	abstract = {The paper describes a new methodology for producing really exploitable results from automatic classification algorithms. The output of these algorithms is usually constituted by an image with each region assigned to one out of n classes. If the end user, on the basis of results obtained from a control set provided with a ground truth, simply knows that classification over the whole dataset can be considered correct at, for example, 85\% (s)he cannot know where correct and erroneously classified regions are really located in the whole dataset. Obviously, the result obtained can be exploited to effectively compute global indexes over the dataset, but it cannot be used as a thematic map. Thus, in addition to the assignment of a class to each region we propose an approach that provides a stability map, a binary image that separates regions (S) classified with high accuracy from those (U) whose classification result should be verified before being used. Two further benefits derive from the construction of the stability map: the control set can be used to set up a good threshold for binarizing the stability map (that is, a threshold by which all regions S are effectively correctly classified); unreliable regions U can help the end user to identify principal causes of (types of regions leading to) misclassification and corresponding (fuzzy, neural, rule based, etc.) approaches to overcome them.},
