In recent years, new technologies have contributed to an improvement in the upper limb rehabilitation process as a complement to the conventional therapy received by patients. In this context, technologies should facilitate accurate monitoring of the hands and serve to collect data on patient performance during functional tasks in order to objectiv...
Learning music has been demonstrated to provide many benefits for children. However, music students, especially beginners, often suffer from lack of motivation and even can be frustrated if their musical skills do not improve as they practice over and over. In such situations, they usually end up dropping out of music school. To face this challenge...
Stroke represents a global concern that currently affects a significant part of the world’s population. Physical rehabilitation plays a fundamental role for stroke patients to recover mobility and improve quality of life. This process is costly, considering that patients must attend face-to-face rehabilitation sessions in hospitals or rehabilitatio...

Physiotherapy is based on the daily execution of exe...
The consequences of natural or man-made catastrophes can be devastating. To minimize its impact, it is crucial to carry out a rapid analysis of the affected environment in the moments after they occur, especially from the perspective of alert notification or crisis management. In this context, the use of UAVs, understood as the technological basis...

The generation of virtual images, which do not differ from those taken from the real world, from an abstract description of a 3D scene is defined as Photorealistic Image Synthesis. Since achieving greater realism is the ultimate goal, the rendering of a single image may take hours or days even on powerful computers. To face this challenge, in this...

We derive an exact solution (in the form of a series expansion) to compute gravitational lensing magnification maps. It is based on the backward gravitational lens mapping of a partition of the image plane in polygonal cells (inverse polygon mapping, IPM), not including critical points (except perhaps at the cell boundaries). The zeroth-order term...
Photo realistic Image Synthesis requires high computational power to generate virtual images from 3D models. In fact, the rendering of a single high-quality image may take days even on powerful computers.

In spite of the development of new techniques and algorithms, the computational requirements of photorealistic rendering are huge so that it is not possible to render them in real time. In addition, the adequate configuration of rendering quality paramete...
Multiagent systems (MAS) development frameworks aim at facilitating the development and administration of agent-based applications. Currently relevant tools, such as JADE, offer huge possibilities but they are generally linked to a specific technology (commonly Java). This fact may limit some application domains when deploying MAS, such as low effi...

Traffic accidents, in which pedestrians are often involved, injure and kill many people yearly. One critical scene is the crosswalk, an important knocking down source due to both drivers’ and pedestrians’ incorrect behaviors. In this work, we propose a novel approach to detect and sanction these drivers’ abnormal behaviors. The multi-agent system p...
Realistic rendering is the process of generating a 2D image from an abstract description of a 3D scene, aiming at achieving the quality of a photo. The quality of the generated image depends on the accuracy with which the employed render method simulates the behaviour of the light particles through the scene. According to the current practice, it i...

Communication among intelligent agents which take part in negotiation protocols is not frequently considered as an important topic in the negotiation stage. These mechanisms are often designed for specific problems, without taking into account the interoperability among agents involved. In this paper, we suggest a standard communication protocol to...
Physically based rendering is the process of generating a 2D image from the abstract description of a 3D Scene. Despite the develop- ment of various new techniques and algorithms, the computational re- quirements of generating photorealistic images still do not allow to render in real time. Moreover, the configuration of good render quality param-...
The rendering process allows the developer to obtain a raster 2D image from the definition of a 3D scene. This process is computationally intensive if the source scene has a certain complexity or high-quality images are required. Therefore, a lot of time is spent and many computational resources are needed. In this paper, a novel approach called QU...

Temporal Fuzzy Models (TFMs) and Temporal Fuzzy Chains (TFCs) are used to represent dynamic sys- tems. Temporal fuzzy rules (TFRs) of TFMs are ordered, thus, each rule represents a consecutive tempo- ral zone. TFCs make use of two dierent concepts: the traditional method to represent the dynamic systems (DSs) named state vectors (6), and the lingui...
