The designed networked system captures and stores high and medium resolution sky images every 2 seconds. The IP camera employed is low-cost, omnidirectional, and its images are accessible from any point with Internet connection, both in real time and to a database, thanks to the configuration of a VPN network. The images obtained by the camera can...

This work presents automatic identification and verification approaches based on lip biometrics, using a static lip shape and applying a lip correction preprocessing, transforming data from Hidden Markov Model and being classified by Support Vector Machines. The classification system is conclusive for the identification of a person by the shape of...

The limited efficiency of current air traffic systems will require a next-generation of Smart Air Traffic System (SATS) that relies on current technological advances. This challenge means a transition toward a new navigation and air-traffic procedures paradigm, where pilots and air traffic controllers perform and coordinate their activities accordi...

In this paper the permutation entropy (PE) obtained from heart rate variability (HRV) is analyzed in a statistical model. In this model we also integrate other feature extraction techniques, the cepstrum coefficients derived from the same HRV and a set of band powers obtained from the electrocardiogram derived respiratory (EDR) signal. The aim of t...

Received Signal Strength Indicator is an indication of power level being received by a wireless device. This parameter for Wireless Fidelity has never been standardized, so any manufacturer implements it measuring as he knows better doing. This is a problem because different scenarios can be found based in several elements like: the particular Wire...

A simple and effective method of automatic discrimination between emotional and unemotional speech is presented. Traditional methods of emotional discrimination use prosodic and paralinguistic features, which are determined by a linguistic segmentation of the locution. However, these methods are not appropriate in real time applications because of...

[ES] En la última década se han intensificado los esfuerzos para diseñar nuevos procedimientos y sistemas para lograr una mayor automatización e integración aire-tierra de las operaciones de navegación y control del tráfico aéreo. La implementación efectiva de estos nuevos escenarios de tráfico supone un cambio radical de los actuales conceptos ope...

Current and future air traffic is requiring new procedures and systems to achieve a greater automation of air-traffic operations. Particular difficulty presents the automation of arrival air-traffic operations in terminal areas due to aircraft speeds and environment variability into a delimited airspace where multiple aircraft converge. Several pro...

This paper describes a pair of systems which can be used to obtain realistic traffic samples in a Sector/TMA from a given real traffic database. Those are a traffic analyzer and a traffic pattern generator. These two systems allow the ATM engineer to both gain insight on the traffic structure of the area under analysis and to obtain statistically s...

Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) will require new procedures and systems to achieve a suitable automation of airtraffic operations. Procedures and systems for automated operations are closely related and therefore frequently they need to be modeled in a combined way. Our group is currently employing recent agent-oriented methodological approaches...

En este artículo se presenta una implementación de un simulador de tráfico aéreo experimental que modela el comportamiento de diferentes tipos de aeronaves mientras ejecutan un plan de vuelo o siguen las órdenesprocedentes de un controlador de tráfico aéreo (atc). El simulador ha sido implementado como un sistema Multiagente con el fin de considera...

Future air traffic is demanding innovative procedures and systems that take advance of new technologies capabilities. Especially significant are new procedures and systems for automating arrival air traffic operations in terminal areas. In this work, we present an air-air negotiation protocol to be used as a new component of the on board automation...

Future 4D TBO will require effective airground data link communication and negotiation protocols. This issue is especially critical in Arrival and Approach flight phase due to the variability of conditions into a short space-time environment where multiple aircraft simultaneously converge. Besides, several subtasks are closely related with effectiv...

We present an Experimental Air Traffic Simulator (EATS) implemented as a Multi-Agent System to run on a JADE framework. The EATS is conceived as a tool for preliminary evaluation of algorithms, flight procedures and man-machine interfaces to be used in future Navigation and Air Traffic surrounding the new Communication, Navigation and Surveillance...
