This paper examines the challenges facing the Australian Quantity Surveying profession in the use of automated quantities technology. The paper is based on research by a team from the University of Technology Sydney involving ...

The tablet quality checking and identification in hospital pharmacies is done manually and does not use any automated solution. Manual sorting and handling makes this activity laborious and error-prone. This paper describes ...

Automatic detection of text on road signs can help drivers keep aware of the traffic situation and surrounding environments by reminding them of the signs ahead. Current systems can only detect constrained road signs ...

This paper presents an efficient and innovative method for the automated counting of cells in microscopic image. The performance of watershed-based algorithms for the segmentation of clustered cells has been well demonstrated. ...

Automatic differentiation (AD) is the technique whereby output variables of a computer code evaluating any complicated function (e.g. the solution to a differential equation) can be differentiated with respect to the input ...

A novel mechanism able to produce increasingly stable paths for mobile robotic agents travelling over uneven terrain is proposed in this paper. In doing so, cognitive agents can focus on higher-level goal planning, with ...

Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are developed to exploit human expert knowledge in designing control systems. While the fuzzy rules are relatively easy to obtain, fuzzy membership function (MF) tuning could be a time consuming ...

The problem of human action recognition has received increasing attention in recent years for its importance in many applications. Yet, the main limitation of current approaches is that they do not capture well the spatial ...

In recent years, many researches on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been reported. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is one form of ITS technology that not only recognizes and counts vehicles, ...
