2.Estimation of Self-Posture of a Pedestrian Using MY VISION Based on Depth
and Motion Network
Joo Kooi Tan, Tomoyuki Kurosaki
Pages: 152 - 155
A system is proposed that performs gait analysis of a pedestrian to improve
a walk posture and at the same time to prevent a fall. In the system, a
user walks with a chest-mounted camera. His/her walking posture is estimated
using a pair of images obtained from the camera. Normally it is difficult
to...

3.A Tactile Sense Centered Virtual Reality game by using Biometric feedback
Yasuhiro Suzuki
Pages: 156 - 159
We construct a Virtual Reality, VR system centered on the tactile sensation.
Tactile sensation has a more significant effect on sensibility than audiovisual.
Therefore, if tactile sensation and audiovisual sense are combined, we
can create “virtual presence” in the VR space. In this system, a user’s...

4.Self-repairing Control against Actuator Failures Using a Spiking Neuron
Model
Masanori Takahashi
Pages: 160 - 164
This paper presents a new Self-repairing Control System (SRCS) for plants
with actuator failures. The proposed SRCS uses the well-known Izhikevich
spiking neuron model as a fault detector. When the actuator fails, the
neuron model is excited and then spikes occur. Thus, counting up spikes
makes it possible...

5.Proposal of an Algorithm to Generate VDM++ Specification Based on its Grammar
by Using Word Lists Extracted from the Natural Language Specification
Tetsuro Katayama, Yasuhiro Shigyo, Yoshihiro Kita, Hisaaki Yamaba, Kentaro
Aburada, Naonobu Okazaki
Pages: 165 - 169
The natural language includes ambiguous expressions. Vienna Development
Method (VDM) is one of methodology on the formal methods to write the specification
without ambiguity. Because VDM++ is written by strict grammar, it is difficult
to write a VDM++ specification. This research attempts to generate...

7.Ocean Current Velocity Measuring Device Based on Acoustic Time Difference
Current Meter
Jichao Zhao, Fengzhi Dai, Xin Ma, Fengkun Wang
Pages: 175 - 178
Ocean current refers to the relatively stable flow of the surface water
of the ocean in a certain direction, and is the main regulator of the thermal
environment on the surface of the earth. At present, the ocean current
velocity detection at sea is basically a field measurement by a staff member
in...
