Reconocimiento de posturas mediante Kinect en ROS

Proyecto de Fin de Grado, especialidad en Computación. Se ha desarrollado un software en ROS para detectar posturas y movimientos de personas. Para ello, se utiliza la información del esqueleto proporcionada por el sensor Kinect y la biblioteca OpenNI. Se ha realizado un enfoque basado en técnicas de aprendizaje supervisado para generar modelos que clasifiquen posturas estáticas. En el caso de los movimientos, el enfoque se ha basado en clustering. Estos modelos, una vez generados, se incluyen como parte del software, que reacciona ante las posturas y gestos que realice un usuario.

Aplicación de ROS: Sistema Operativo Robótico sobre Lego Mindstorms NXT

[ES]El objetivo de este Trabajo de Fin de Grado es estudiar el programa llamado ROS, un entorno para la programación de robots. Proporciona una serie de herramientas, librerías, drivers… que facilitan en gran medida la programación de sistemas robóticos. Para realizar este estudio se utilizará ROS para crear una aplicación para un robot LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Estos robots son pequeños y versátiles, y son adecuados para la investigación. La aplicación que se llevará a cabo será un seguidor de línea, un robot capaz de seguir una pista dibujada sobre una superficie de otro color. Para programar la aplicación, se utilizarán en la medida de lo posible las herramientas proporcionadas por ROS. De esta manera, se espera alcanzar una mayor comprensión de ROS y de su funcionamiento, con sus fortalezas y sus debilidades.

Modification of the biological intercept model to account for ontogenetic effects in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)*

We investigated age, growth, and ontogenetic effects on the proportionality of otolith size to fish size in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) from the San Francisco Bay estuary. Delta smelt larvae were reared from hatching in laboratory mesocosms for 100 days. Otolith increments from known-age fish were enumerated to validate that growth increments were deposited daily and to validate the age of fish at first ring formation. Delta smelt were found to lay down daily ring increments; however, the first increment did not form until six days after hatching. The relationship between otolith size and fish size was not biased by age or growth-rate effects but did exhibit an interruption in linear growth owing to an ontogenetic shift at the postflexon stage. To back-calculate the size-at-age of individual fish, we modified the biological intercept (BI) model to account for ontogenetic changes in the otolith-size−fish-size relationship and compared the results to the time-varying growth model, as well as the modified Fry model. We found the modified BI model estimated more accurately the size-at-age from hatching to 100 days after hatching. Before back-calculating size-at-age with existing models, we recommend a critical evaluation of the effects that age, growth, and ontogeny can have on the otolith-size−fish-size relations

Production of freshwater prawns in the Mekong Delta

Currently there are 2 sources of freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii production in Vietnam - natural production from the rivers and canals and aquaculture production from ponds and ricefields. An account is given of the production of this prawn in the Mekong Delta. The prawns are harvested primarily by a common small scale method using shelter traps. The total annual freshwater prawn production in Vietnam during 1985-90 was reported to vary from 5000 to 8000 tons, most of it from natural fisheries; although there are no official statistics on the production of farmed prawns, the amount is believed to be very small. The grow-out system includes intensive monospecies pond culture, and semi-intensive or extensive integrated rice-prawn or vegetable-prawn culture.

Rice-freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farms in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Aquaculture in riceland has been practiced in Mekong Delta, Vietnam for a long time and integrated rice-freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming has become more and more popular. The integrated farming systems developed and practiced by farmers in the area to produce more food and more cash crops are presented and discussed.

Integrated rice-prawn farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: a route towards sustainable and profitable farming systems?

Economic analysis and performance of the integrated rice-prawn farming systems in the Mekong Delta (Vietnam) are reviewed, including the problems and constraints of this integrated system technology.
