Over the last decade, the usage of unmanned systems such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) has increased drastically, and there is still a rapid growth. Today, unmanned systems are being deployed in many daily operations, e.g. for deliveries in remote areas, to increase efficiency of agriculture, and for environmental monitoring at sea. For safety reasons, unmanned systems are often the preferred choice for surveillance missions in hazardous environments, e.g. for detection of nuclear radiation, and in disaster areas after earthquakes, hurricanes, or during forest fires. For safe navigation of the unmanned systems during t...
Using images to reconstruct the world in three dimensions is a classical computer vision task. Some examples of applications where this is useful are autonomous mapping and navigation, urban planning, and special effects in movies. One common approach to 3D reconstruction is ”structure from motion” where a scene is imaged multiple times from different positions, e.g. by moving the camera. However, in a twist of irony, many structure from motion methods work best when the camera is stationary while the image is captured. This is because the motion of the camera can cause distortions in the image that lead to worse image measurements, and thus a worse reconstruction. One such distortion co...
Thermal cameras have historically been of interest mainly for military applications. Increasing image quality and resolution combined with decreasing camera price and size during recent years have, however, opened up new application areas. They are now widely used for civilian applications, e.g., within industry, to search for missing persons, in automotive safety, as well as for medical applications. Thermal cameras are useful as soon as there exists a measurable temperature difference. Compared to cameras operating in the visual spectrum, they are advantageous due to their ability to see in total darkness, robustness to illumination variations, and less intrusion on privacy. This thesis ad...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, SCIA 2013, held in Espoo, Finland, in June 2013. The 67 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 132 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on feature extraction and segmentation, pattern recognition and machine learning, medical and biomedical image analysis, faces and gestures, object and scene recognition, matching, registration, and alignment, 3D vision, color and multispectral image analysis, motion analysis, systems and applications, human-centered computing, and video and multimedia analysis.

Tyrvään ja siitä erotettujen Kiikan (kappeliksi 1662) ja Kiikoisten (kappeliksi 1847) seutujen sukujen tutkijoilla on käytettävissään poikkeuksellisen vanhoja ja sisältö-rikkaita kirkonkirjoja. Historiakirjat alkavat Tyrväällä vuodesta 1693 ja Kiikassa 1698. Ennen jälkimmäistä vuosilukua Kiikan ja sen mukana myös Kiikoisten tietoja löytyy Tyrvään historiakirjoista. Ja mikä on erityisen huomattavaa historiakirjat jatkuvat lähes katkotta yli koko pahamaineisen isonvihan. Tässä toimitetut vanhimmat rippikirjaniteet (F1-2) ovat Tyrvään osalta vuosilta 1693-1703 ja 1705-1722. Seuraava säilynyt nide (F3) on vasta vuosilta 1730-50. On huomat-tava, että Tyrvään vanhempaa...
The census area is governed by several state jurisdictions, including: Burlington County, New Jersey; Philadelphia and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania; and New Castle County, including Wilmington, in Delaware.
Internationally, the case of early modern Sweden is noteworthy because the state building process transformed a locally dispersed and sparsely populated area into a strongly centralized absolute monarchy and European empire at the beginning of the 17th century. This anthology provides fresh insights into the state-building process in Sweden. During this transitional period, many far-reaching administrative reforms were carried out, and the Swedish state developed into a prime example of the early modern ‘powerstate’. The contributors approach Sweden’s rise to greatness from the point of view of personal agency. In early modern studies, agency has long remained in the shadow of the stud...
