Automatic system that detects the contours of a target, and tracks it and its contours’ deformation. This work is based on CONDENSATION, a particle filter detailed in the book “Active Contours” of M. Isard and A. Blake. [ PDF (in italian) ]
Objects Tracking in a Multi-Camera Environment with Non-overlapping Views
Multi-target tracking (with very simple occlusions) among non-overlapping camera views. When a target exits from the field of view of a camera and enters in another field of view, we infer that is the same target localized in the two cameras. [ PDF (in italian) ]
Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and Applications
First, it has been described the theory of the Markov chains and the HMMs. Then, two applications have been analyzed: gesture recognition comparing different learned HMMs, and video sequences quantization. [ PDF (in italian) ]
Automatic Classification and Integration of Geographic Elements in the Geographic Information Systems Field
Different acquisitions (in time or with different methods) of the same area yield to geographic databases, where the same elements do not match. In this work, it has been analyzed the problem and some methods have been proposed and tested for integrating these data. The objective is to build a single database that contains the most reliable information. [ PDF (in italian) ]
Homography and Parallax

An Application for “Phantom Goal” Detection: This work is a simple application of Computer Vision theory. The objective is to detect when a ball go over the line scoring a goal, with a stereoscopic setup. [ PDF (in italian) ]
Motion Planning and Execution for Eddy Robot
This work takes into consideration a classic problem of the Robotic systems: motion planning without collide with obstacles. Several issues are involved in this problem, such as: obstacle recognition, motion planning, and trajectory execution. [ PDF (in italian) ]
