Machine Vision and Navigation. Este artículo no está disponible.Machine Vision and Navigation

This book presents a variety of perspectives on vision-based applications. These contributions are focused on optoelectronic sensors, 3D & 2D machine vision technologies, robot navigation, control schemes, motion controllers, intelligent algorithms and vision systems. The authors focus on applications of unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous and mobile robots, industrial inspection applications and structural health monitoring. Recent advanced research in measurement and others areas where 3D & 2D machine vision and machine control play an important role, as well as surveys and reviews about vision-based applications. These topics are of interest to readers from diverse areas, including electrical, electronics and computer engineering, technologists, students and non-specialist readers.

• Presents current research in image and signal sensors, methods, and 3D & 2D technologies in vision-based theories and applications;

• Discusses applications such as daily use devices including robotics, detection, tracking and stereoscopic vision systems, pose estimation, avoidance of objects, control and data exchange for navigation, and aerial imagery processing;

• Includes research contributions in scientific, industrial, and civil applications.

Paolo Mercorelli received the Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering from Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, in 1998. In 1997, he was a Visiting Researcher for one year in the Department of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. He was awarded by the Marie Curie Actions research fellowship program sponsored by The European Commission in year 1998 which he spent in ABB Corporate research Heidelberg. The Marie Curie Actions research fellowship program is a set of mobility research grant schemes funding pre- and post-doctoral  researchers in Europe as well as experienced researchers from all over the world. The Marie-Curie Fellowships are Europe’s most competitive and prestigious awards, and are aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research and international collaborations. Thanks to this scholarship, from 1998 to 2001, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with Asea Brown Boveri, Heidelberg, Germany. From 2002 to 2005, he was a Senior Researcher with the Institute of Automation and Informatics, Wernigerode, Germany, where he was the Leader of the Control Group. From 2005 to 2011, he was an Associate Professor of Process Informatics with Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Wolfsburg, Germany. In 2010 he received the call from the German University in Cairo (Egypt) for a Full Professorship (Chair) in Mechatronics which he declined. In 2011 he was a Visiting Professor at Villanova University, Philadelphia, USA. Since 2012 he has been a Full Professor (Chair) of Control and Drive Systems at the Institute of Product and Process Innovation, Leuphana University of Lueneburg, Lueneburg, Germany. He received the Award for the Best Conference Paper at the 18th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC 2017), which took place from 28 to 31 May 2017 in Sinaia (Romania). Since 2018 he has obtained an International Visiting Professor Fellowship at Lodz University of Technology (Poland) and he is responsible for the course of „Modelling of Industrial Control Systems”. His current research interests include mechatronics, control systems, signal processing, wavelets, sensorless control, Kalman filter, camless control, knock control, lambda control, and robotics. In total he has 215 papers indexed in SCOPUS (h-index 16).
