We consider sensor scheduling as the optimal observability problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This model fits to the cases where a Markov process ...
This paper presents a smart vision sensor for environmental hazards (such as slippery surfaces) and detecting risk factors of a toddler's fall in an indoor home perilous activ...
Situational awareness in emergency response is critical. Knowing the status of the hazards, the rescue workers, and the building occupants, etc., can greatly help the incident comm...
