...Liming Fan; Xiyuan Kang; Quan Zheng; Xiaojun Zhang; Xuejun Liu; Zhoushan Geng; Chong Kang Purpose This paper aims to focus on the tracking of a moving magnetic target by using total field magnetometers and to present a tracking method based on the gradient of a magnetic anomaly. In the tracking...

...Richard Bloss Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the most recent innovations in sensor technology for better quality in packaging. Checking for container seals, damaged product, contaminates as well as tracking product to meet government requirements. Design/methodology/approach...

...Yalei Liu; Xiaohui Gu; Yunmeng Lian; Heng Liu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the theoretical relationship between the layout of four‐sensor dynamic acoustic array tracking system and systematic observation accuracy, and provide an algorithm to determine the optimal arrangement...

... to tracking of “tagged entities,” such as products, inventory items, or resources. From supply chain level business processes to shop floor level manufacturing execution to tracking bags at the airport, this technology presents many opportunities for process improvement and re‐engineering. However, in spite...

... the faulty sensor, and outputs the corresponding healthy sensor measurement. After obtain rigid human bodies by using processes of the adaptive background subtraction and morphological cleaning, the center of the desired human blob is tracked approximately using the histogram‐based mean shift algorithms...

.... In the on‐line stage, the contour of the specified object is tracked using the real time object tracking method with the combination of feature tracking method and minimum s‐t cut method. The augmented image with correct occlusions is produced by redrawing all the tracked object pixels...

... of blade mounted cyan LEDs and a tail mounted red LED are used as on‐board landmarks. A base station tracks the landmarks and estimates the pose of the MAV in real time by analysing images taken using an active vision unit. In each image, the ellipse formed by the cyan LEDs is used for 5 degree of freedom...

..., in conjunction with its French partner, has used DNA tracers on a large variety of commodities. These include: Oils Tracking Although there is much concern at present about the high price of crude oil, it should not be forgotten that in the early to mid‐1980s the price was even higher (around $30...
