In this paper, the problem of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is addressed via a novel augmented landmark vision-based ellipsoidal SLAM.The algorithm is implemented on a NAO humanoid robot and is tested in an indoor environment.The main feature of the system is the implementation of SLAM with a monocular vision system.Distinguished lan
This paper presents a new solution for underwater observation, image recording, mapping and 3D reconstruction in shallow waters.The platform, designed as a research and testing tool, is based on a small underwater robot equipped with a MEMS-based IMU, two stereo cameras and a pressure sensor.The data given by the sensors are fused, adjusted and cor
Glacier melting and permafrost thawing are the most evident effects of the current climate change that is strongly affecting high mountain areas, including the European Alps.As the thawing rate of subsurface ice is lower than for The Types and Pattern of Use of Mobile Health Applications Among the General Population: A Cross-Sectional Study from Se
ABSTRACT Related to the climate change and economic development of environmentally friendly (green economy) issues, the President has committed to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 26% on their own sources (BAU), and up to 41% with international support in 2020 through Presidential Decree No.61 in 2011 about the National Action Plan f
Background: Within countries, community spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) propagated the infection despite the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions.Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of disinfecting surfaces and materials in the community by spraying compared with wiping (mechanical cleaning) or nothing for S
