A New Autonomous Underwater Vehicle For Imaging Research, C. Roman, O. Pizarro, R. Eustice, H. Singh Aug 2000

A New Autonomous Underwater Vehicle For Imaging Research, C. Roman, O. Pizarro, R. Eustice, H. Singh

Christopher N. Roman

Currently, unmanned underwater vehicles either tend to be cumbersome and complex to run, or operationally simple, but not quite suitable platforms for deep water imaging. This paper presents an alternative design in the form of a new low cost and easier to use autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for imaging research. The objective of the vehicle is to serve as a readily available and operationally simple tool that allows rapid testing of imaging algorithms in areas such as photomosaicking, 3D image reconstruction from a single camera, image based navigation, and multi-sensor fusion of bathymetry and optical data. These are all current …

E-Commerce Technology For Safe Money Transaction Over The Net, Noor Jahan Haque, Raman Attri Jun 2000

E-Commerce Technology For Safe Money Transaction Over The Net, Noor Jahan Haque, Raman Attri

Raman K. Attri

The Buzz word E-commerce has revolutionized the way the business and money transactions used to work in the past. It is the latest impact of software arena in the field of banking, business and purchasing. The term also refers to online stock and bond transactions and buying and downloading software without ever going near a store. In addition, e-commerce includes business-to-business connections that make purchasing easier for big corporations. This paper mainly concentrates on technology revolution behind the transaction of money over the net. There are still doubts and questions from business and corporate users on the safety aspects of …

Advances In Fusion Of High Resolution Underwater Optical And Acoustic Data, H. Singh, C. Roman, L. Whitcomb, D. Yoerger Apr 2000

Advances In Fusion Of High Resolution Underwater Optical And Acoustic Data, H. Singh, C. Roman, L. Whitcomb, D. Yoerger

Christopher N. Roman

We report efforts to merge data from the complementary modalities of optical and acoustic sensing for obtaining more accurate representations of the seafloor. We show that the principal obstacles to merging the acoustic and optical imaging modalities are the distortions inherent to each modality. The construction of geometrically accurate photomosaics is dominated by incremental errors arising as individual images are scaled and warped to form the photomosaic. For microbathymetric mapping, principal errors arise from sensor position and orientation calibration parameters that affect our ability to construct maps from sonar data that are commensurate with sensor and navigation resolution. We show …


Software Engineering For Startups, Todd Sedano Apr 2000

Software Engineering For Startups, Todd Sedano

Todd Sedano

My interests include finding Effective Processes and learning which processes are best suited for startups. The nature of small business, the agility to change direction quickly, allows it to handle minor bad software practices better. However, failure for a startup may crater the company where as a large company may recover from the fumble. Due to the fierce competition for a startup with limited resources, we should consider tasks that reduce the time to market.

Software Tool For Seismic Data Recorder And Analyser, Satish Kumar, Raman Attri, B. Sharma, M. Shamshi Jan 2000

Software Tool For Seismic Data Recorder And Analyser, Satish Kumar, Raman Attri, B. Sharma, M. Shamshi

Raman K. Attri

Design and Development of software controlled stand-alone instruments has been identified as the most vital component of national and intemational programs on earthquake hazard and risk management. For in depth investigation and studies, the development of precise instruments designed around computer is emerging very fast. Interacing of personal computer with seismic instrument is an important design task. A design technique based on minimum hardware has been worked out around the parallel printer interface of computer. Hardware and Software for this purpose has been designed to make the instrument interact with computer through parallel port interface. Incorporation of software for seismic …
