Object Detection Using Image Processing For Blind Persons: A Review

Abstract: The fundamental idea of detection of objects for videos is confirming an object's existence in a series of images and maybe pinpointing it specifically for identification. Monitoring an item's existence, location, size, form, and other physical and Changes in time throughout a video sequence is known as object tracking. The challenge of reproducing the designated area in consecutive frames of a set of photographs captured at closely spaced time intervals is referred to as the temporal correspondence problem. and it must be solved in order to do this. The two processes in question are interrelated. The foundation of tracking is detection, which often begins with the detection of objects. To aid and validate tracking, it is frequently required to identify an item repeatedly in a following image sequence. In light of this, the present review describes how object recognition using image processing might assist the blind.

Технико-экономические аспекты цифрового моделирования строительных объектов энергетики

Digital modeling is being introduced into design, management, and research. With the help of a digital model, various scenarios of the object's existence can be played out. Rational technical solutions can be found and tested. In order to determine the optimal parameters of the object, a module for the economic evaluation of technical solutions should be created as part of the digital model. For an power plant facility, three levels of objects of the studied solutions are distinguished: design solutions of the power plant as a whole; system solutions of individual technological systems, buildings and structures; partial technical solutions of individual elements of equipment and structures. At each level, economic methods differ. Various formulations of economic calculations are proposed

THEORETICAL BASES OF ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF AGRARIAN SPHERE OF THE REGION

The theoretical principles of adaptive management of agrarian sphere of the region are formulated in the article. The current state and main directions of the study of adaptive management are outlined. It has been identified that adaptive management is an interdisciplinary concept and has a wide scope. Based on the morphological analysis the following basic approaches to the interdisciplinary interpretation of the definition of “adaptive management” are identified and substantiated: process, system, structural, system-structural, functional and complex. Representatives of each approach to interpretation are described, characteristics and advantages and disadvantages are outlined. The mechanism, functions and stages of forming an adaptive control system at micro- and macro-levels are investigated. On the basis of the performed theoretical analysis, the aut hors formulated the definition and created the author's model of implementation of adaptive management, which involves making management decisions based on changes in the environment of the object's existence and its adaptation to them. The essential differences of adaptive, anti-crisis and antisipative management are outlined. The purpose, main task, orientation, period and form of implementation, tools, characters of interaction with the operating environment, goals, processing and ways of gathering information of such types of management are investigated. A wide range of definitions of adaptive management at the micro and macro levels have been analyzed and evaluated. The concept of adaptive management of agrarian sphere of the region is defined. The connection between the level of development of infrastructure, institutions, institutes and efficiency of the economy of the country and agrarian sphere in particular is noted. It is determined that the adaptive management of the agrarian sphere of the region should be based on a systematic approach using modern methods of management theory.

Origins and Barriers: Reflections on Subrahmanyam

It has been said that if completely known and understood, a historical phenomenon is therefore dead. Yet how perverse, so it might seem, that the scholarly revelation of the complex history of a powerful concept might therefore be taken as an argument that it should therefore be entirely abandoned. This is, of course, not Sanjay Subrahmanyam's conclusion about the notion of Asia. The choice he poses is not between one Asia or none, but between a singular and overarching universal and an unevenly connected plurality. However, further complementary questions might pose themselves. Under what conditions can this plurality and these connections become anything like objects of knowledge? And of whose knowledge? These are, perhaps, issues where historians of the sciences might contribute. It is a distressingly familiar theme among those historians that it has too often been supposed that a demonstration of the historical construction and variable functions of an object is to be understood somehow as a denial of that object's existence or value.

Evidential Constraints on Singular Thought

AbstractIn this article, I argue that in typical cases of singular thought, a thinker stands in an evidential relation to the object of thought suitable for providing knowledge of the object's existence. Furthermore, a thinker may generate representations that purport to refer to particular objects in response to appropriate, though defeasible, evidence of the existence of such an object. I motivate these constraints by considering a number of examples introduced by Robin Jeshion in support of a view she calls ‘cognitivism’ (Jeshion, 2010b). Although I agree with Jeshion that acquaintance is not required for all cases of singular thought, I argue that her account doesn't go far enough in rejecting semantic instrumentalism, the view that we can generate singular thoughts arbitrarily, by manipulating the mechanisms of direct reference.

Real-time object recognition using relational dependency based on graphical model

This paper proposes a real-time object recognition using the relational dependency among the objects that is represented by the graphical model. When we recognize the objects, it is effective to use the relational dependency in which several different objects co-exist each other. The relational dependency has been modeled by the transition matrix in the graphical model. The transition matrix precisely represents the conditional probability of object's existence at time t, given the existence of others at time t - 1 . We use a very fast cascaded adaboost detector in order to detect all object candidates in the image. Then, the existence probability of the object from a given object candidate is estimated by a logistic regression using the softmax function. The estimated existence probability is updated by the trained transition matrix to reflect the relational dependency of the objects. The object's existence is determined by the threshold level. Experiment results validate that the proposed method is a very fast and effective way of recognizing the objects in terms of high recognition rate and low false alarm rate.

Putting the Virtual into Reality: Assessing Object-Presence with Projection-Augmented Models

A projection-augmented model is a type of nonimmersive, coincident haptic and visual display that uses a physical model as a three-dimensional screen for projected visual information. Supporting all physiological depth cues and two sensory modalities should create a strong sense of the object's existence. However, conventional measures of presence have been defined only for displays that surround and isolate a user from the real world. The idea of object-presence is thus suggested to measure “the subjective experience that a particular object exists in a user's environment, even when that object does not” (Stevens & Jerrams-Smith, 2000). A correlation study was conducted to demonstrate the reliability and validity of objectpresence as a construct. The results of a modified Singer and Witmer Presence Questionnaire suggest the existence of a reliable construct that exhibits face validity. However, the Presence Questionnaire did not correlate significantly with a user's tendency to become immersed in traditional media, which would support the assertion that this construct was object-presence. Considering previous work, the results of the current correlation study exhibited a pattern evident in previous studies of presence suggesting that object-presence and presence could be gender biased by the task to be completed or by the presence measure.

Thomas Reid, on Intelligible Objects

Reid's philosophy is an attempt to describe the operations of the mind. The author is less concerned with objects than with the power or faculty by means of which the mind is furnished with objects. This faculty he calls con ception or apprehension or understanding, and he is careful always to dis tinguish it from the power of judgment by means of which we come to possess belief or knowledge. Much of what is most distinctive in Reid's philosophy is to be found in his account of these two faculties and of the way in which they are related to each other. In directing his attention to powers and their operations, Reid seems to have been influenced by the logic handbooks that were current in his day. Reid approved of attempts inspired by Descartes to reform the teaching of logic by treating of the operations of conception, judgment, and reasoning rather than simply dealing with the properties of concepts, propositions, and arguments. Early in his career, however, Reid remarked on the error involved in supposing that, because concepts are in some sense prior to propositions, the operation of conception?which logicians were calling simple apprehen sion?must be considered as the first operation of the mind, with the result that perception and memory were classified together with imagination as simple apprehensions.1 On the contrary, said Reid, perception, memory, and consciousness are judgments; they include, together with a conception of the object, a belief in the object's existence. Simple apprehension, by which we imagine or conceive of an object without judging as to whether it exists, comes after judgment, and can work only with materials given to it in percep tion or consciousness.
