The use of mobile robots turns out to be interesting in activities where the action of human specialist is difficult or dangerous. Mobile robots are often used for the exploration in areas of difficult access, such as rescue operations and space missions, to avoid human experts exposition to risky situations. Mobile robots are also used in agriculture for planting tasks as well as for keeping the application of pesticides within minimal amounts to mitigate environmental pollution. In this paper we present the development of a system to control the navigation of an autonomous mobile robot through tracks in plantations. Track images are used to control robot direction by preprocessing them to extract image features. Such features are then submitted to a support vector machine in order to find out the most appropriate route. The overall goal of the project to which this work is connected is to develop a real time robot control system to be embedded into a hardware platform. In this paper we report the software implementation of a support vector machine, which so far presented around 93% accuracy in predicting the appropriate route. © 2012 IEEE.

The Finite Element Method is a well-known technique, being extensively applied in different areas. Studies using the Finite Element Method (FEM) are targeted to improve cardiac ablation procedures. For such simulations, the finite element meshes should consider the size and histological features of the target structures. However, it is possible to verify that some methods or tools used to generate meshes of human body structures are still limited, due to nondetailed models, nontrivial preprocessing, or mainly limitation in the use condition. In this paper, alternatives are demonstrated to solid modeling and automatic generation of highly refined tetrahedral meshes, with quality compatible with other studies focused on mesh generation. The innovations presented here are strategies to integrate Open Source Software (OSS). The chosen techniques and strategies are presented and discussed, considering cardiac structures as a first application context. © 2013 E. Pavarino et al.

An important tool for the heart disease diagnosis is the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, since the non-invasive nature and simplicity of the ECG exam. According to the application, ECG data analysis consists of steps such as preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification aiming to detect cardiac arrhythmias (i.e.; cardiac rhythm abnormalities). Aiming to made a fast and accurate cardiac arrhythmia signal classification process, we apply and analyze a recent and robust supervised graph-based pattern recognition technique, the optimum-path forest (OPF) classifier. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that OPF classifier is used to the ECG heartbeat signal classification task. We then compare the performance (in terms of training and testing time, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity) of the OPF classifier to the ones of other three well-known expert system classifiers, i.e.; support vector machine (SVM), Bayesian and multilayer artificial neural network (MLP), using features extracted from six main approaches considered in literature for ECG arrhythmia analysis. In our experiments, we use the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database and the evaluation protocol recommended by The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. A discussion on the obtained results shows that OPF classifier presents a robust performance, i.e.; there is no need for parameter setup, as well as a high accuracy at an extremely low computational cost. Moreover, in average, the OPF classifier yielded greater performance than the MLP and SVM classifiers in terms of classification time and accuracy, and to produce quite similar performance to the Bayesian classifier, showing to be a promising technique for ECG signal analysis. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Aborda a classificação automática de faltas do tipo curto-circuito em linhas de transmissão. A maioria dos sistemas de transmissão possuem três fases (A, B e C). Por exemplo, um curto-circuito entre as fases A e B pode ser identicado como uma falta\AB". Considerando a possibilidade de um curto-circuito com a fase terra (T), a tarefa ao longo desse trabalho de classificar uma série temporal em uma das 11 faltas possíveis: AT, BT, CT, AB, AC, BC, ABC, ABT, ACT, BCT, ABCT. Estas faltas são responsáveis pela maioria dos distúrbios no sistema elétrico. Cada curto-circuito é representado por uma seqüência (série temporal) e ambos os tipos de classificação, on-line (para cada curto segmento extraído do sinal) e off-line (leva em consideração toda a seqüência), são investigados. Para evitar a atual falta de dados rotulados, o simulador Alternative Transient Program (ATP) é usado para criar uma base de dados rotulada e disponibilizada em domínio público. Alguns trabalhos na literatura não fazem distinção entre as faltas ABC e ABCT. Assim, resultados distinguindo esse dois tipos de faltas adotando técnicas de pré-processamento, diferentes front ends (por exemplo wavelets) e algoritmos de aprendizado (árvores de decisão e redes neurais) são apresentados. O custo computacional estimado durante o estágio de teste de alguns classificadores é investigado e a escolha dos parâmetros dos classificadores é feita a partir de uma seleção automática de modelo. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as árvores de decisão e as redes neurais apresentam melhores resultados quando comparados aos outros classificadores.

The use of mobile robots in the agriculture turns out to be interesting in tasks of cultivation and application of pesticides in minute quantities to reduce environmental pollution. In this paper we present the development of a system to control an autonomous mobile robot navigation through tracks in plantations. Track images are used to control robot direction by preprocessing them to extract image features, and then submitting such characteristic features to a support vector machine to find out the most appropriate route. As the overall goal of the project to which this work is connected is the robot control in real time, the system will be embedded onto a hardware platform. However, in this paper we report the software implementation of a support vector machine, which so far presented around 93% accuracy in predicting the appropriate route.
