    摘要: Robots are used extensively in different applications so as to perform specific tasks. However, the robots are required to move around in a location where they are present, so as to perform the tasks. For path planning, free space identification is performed by the robots during which obstacles are detected and free space is identified. However, the existing systems for path planning struggle to identify free space in cluttered environments. The disclosure herein generally relates to robotic path planning, and, more particularly, to a method and system for free space detection in a cluttered environment for robotic path planning. The system inscribes obstacles in bounding boxes and all unit grids inscribed by the bounding boxes are considered as occupied. Further, by seeding the occupancy grid map, the system identifies unified segments and corresponding seeds. Further a convex expansion is executed in the occupancy grid map to detect the free space.

    摘要: State of the art techniques in the domain of video analysis have limitations in terms of capability to capture spatio-temporal representation. This limitation in turn affects interpretation of video data. The disclosure herein generally relates to video analysis, and, more particularly, to a method and system for video analysis to capture spatio-temporal representation for video reconstruction and analysis. The method presents different architecture variations using three main deep network components: 2D convolution units, 3D convolution units and long short-term memory (LSTM) units for video reconstruction and analysis. These variations are trained for learning the spatio-temporal representation of the videos in order to generate a pre-trained video analysis module. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of different architectural configurations, a novel architecture is designed for video reconstruction. Using transfer learning, the video reconstruction pre-trained model is extended to other video applications such as video object segmentation and surgical video tool segmentation.

    摘要: A device and method is provided for the detection of diabetes in a person using pulse palpation signals. The pulse palpation signal is captured from the radial artery of the person using a photo-plethysmograph (PPG) sensor. The PPG signal is then preprocessed by a processor. The preprocessed PPG signal is then analyzed by the processor to detect the peak in the PPG signal. The detected peaks are used to extract a first set of feature parameters. The first of feature parameters are compared with a second set of feature parameters, wherein the second set of feature parameters are extracted from the control group of individuals. Based on the comparison it is detected that the person is one of in normal condition, pre-diabetic condition or a diabetic condition. According to another embodiment, the invention also provides a method to determine the severity index and progression risk of diabetes in the person.

    摘要: The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a path panning algorithm for fixed-wing aerial vehicles that may be employed, particularly for monitoring of long linear infrastructures. The applicants' earlier patent applications address turn angle constraints for fixed wing aerial and maintaining transmission continuity in presence of coverage holes by imposing a plurality of constraints along with storage constraints. The present disclosure addresses a technical challenge of simultaneously meeting multiple objectives; particularly distance cost and communication cost while satisfying the plurality of constraints that enable pruning of feasible paths in a 3D Euclidean navigation space to obtain a set of optimal paths for surveillance of a target under consideration.
