Sensor Placement Strategies for the Seismic Monitoring of Complex Vaulted Structures of the Modern Architectural Heritage by Erica Lenticchia, Rosario Ceravolo, Paola Antonaci

“…As a general requirement, permanent systems must include a sensing network able to run a continuous surveillance and provide reliable analyses based on different information sources. The variability in the environmental and operating conditions needs to be accounted for in designing such a sensor network, but it is mainly the structural typology that governs the optimal sensor placement strategy. …”

Using Camshift and Kalman Algorithm to Trajectory Characteristic Matching of Basketball Players by Shuang Liang, Yang Li

“…The matching of players’ track characteristics is realized by the CamShift algorithm based on the color model, which makes full use of players’ color information and realizes real-time performance. In order to solve the problem of occlusion between players in the track feature matching, CamShift and Kalman algorithms were used to determine the occlusion factor through the search window and then weighted Kalman and CamShift according to the occlusion degree to get the track feature matching result. …”
