In this paper, visual tracking and servoing of human face are implemented through image processing. A robotic humanoid head named Amir-II, equipped with web cam and servoing mechanism is used as the platform. The robotic head tracks the human face within the field-of-vision (FOV) while the servoing mechanism ensures the detected human face remains

That academic plagiarism is on the rise is an alarming world-wide phenomenon. Plagiarism could be present in undergraduate students’ academic writing in the form of extended pieces of perfect but blatantly copied work. It could also be found in deceptively inconspicuous smaller portions of unattributed prose. Factors causing students plagiarising

This paper presents the development of graphical user interface (GUI) for Humanoid Head Robot Amir-II. The GUI serves as a monitoring tool for the robot operation which includes the visual input from a webcam as its eye and the positioning of the Dynamixel AX-12 robot actuators. Matlab Graphical User Interface Development Environment (Matlab GUIDE)

Recent research in video surveillance system has shown an increasing focus on creating reliable systems utilizing non-computationally expensive technique for observing humans’ appearance, movements and activities, thus providing analytical information for advanced human behavior analysis and realistic human modeling. In order for the system to fu

This paper presents parameters estimation techniques for coupled industrial tanks using the mixed Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and Differential Evolution (DE) method. UKF have known to be a typical estimation technique used to estimate the state vectors and parameters of nonlinear dynamical systems and DE is one of the most powerful stochastic rea

Teachers’ compliance to ethical principles plays a great role in enhancing teaching professionalism. Management code of ethics protects the teachers both individually and professionally and offers convenience to them while practising the ethical codes. While teachers’ noncompliance with code of ethics can jeopardise their teaching career and ta
