WattsApp - The IPv6 Social Telemetry Platform (2011-10-31)

An application created by students of a distributed systems course. The platform was originally designed to monitor energy consumption but has since then be generalized to hook into social networks, providing what we now call a social telemetry platform

Thermal 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments for Saving Energy (2011-09-17)

Heat and air conditioning losses in buildings and factories lead to a large amount of wasted energy. The Action Plan for Energy Efficiency of the European Commission estimates that the largest cost-effective energy savings potential lies in residential (~27%) and commercial (~30%) buildings. Imagine a technology that creates a precise digital 3D model of heat distribution and heat flow enabling one to detect all sources of wasted energy and to modify buildings to reach these savings. This video presents an approach to solve this idea. Methods are presented to create a consistent laser scan model enhanced with color information from thermal and optical cameras.

Mobile 3D Mapping (2011-09-12)

This video presents results we obtained in the 2011 seminar and project on Machine Vision. The focus of the scientific work was "Mobile 3D Mapping".

Object Recognition and localization at ICRA 2011 "Solutions in Perception Challenge" (2011-05-18)

The video gives a short illustrative example of the performance of the Jacobs Robotics object recognition and localization software used in the Willow Garage / NIST "Solutions in Perception" challenge at the IEEE 2011 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Shanghai, China.
