International audienceConnecting wireless sensor networks (WSN) by the air be- comes attractive due to advances in Satellites and Unmanned aerial vehi- cle (UAV). This work focus on specification and simulation of situations where several distant WSN have gateways visited periodically by a mo- bile on a static path. To develop and evaluate collection and control services, it is first needed to run system level simulation. This paper re- ports on producing automatically representations of complex topology where mobile cooperate with sensor fields with respect to timing con- straints from both sides. Simulation programs are produced for graphic accelerators (GPU), and concurrent process architectures
As brown plant hopper (BPH) is one of the most dangerous kinds of insect for rice plant, in recent years, there has been increased concern in counting them in light trap images to control their spread in order to reduce their damage on rice plant. This paper proposes an approach to counting BPHs in light trap images based on morphological operations. By applying these operations appropriately, combined with some noise removal techniques based on color, BPHs in the light trap images can be identified. In addition, it is common that the BPHs in the light-trap images are overlapped due to the layout of the light trap. Therefore, an approach to counting the overlapped BPHs based on their size is also introduced while the sequential region labeling algorithm is used to count the number of the separate BPHs. The experimental results show that our proposed approach is suited to identifying and counting the BPHs in images which are overlapped.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
