Inproceedings Reference A Component-Based C++ Communication Middleware for an Autonomous Robotic Sailboat
by Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — published Dec 10, 2019 — last modified Dec 10, 2019 01:47 PM
The new C++ standard, C++11, and its upgrade, C++14, introduces new advances and features which make more affordable and easier the development of software for complex systems. Following this tenet we have designed and developed a component-based service-oriented C++ middleware, called ISE, for distributed systems using exclusively standard C++ and the quasi standard C++ Boost Libraries for keeping the middleware portable. The final aim of developing ISE has been to build the remote communication software infrastructure of an oceanic autonomous robotic sailboat called A-Tirma.

Article Reference A DIY Low-Cost Wireless Wind Data Acquisition System Used to Study an Arid Coastal Foredune
by Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — published Feb 16, 2020
Environmental studies on coastal dune systems are faced with a considerable cost barrier due to the cost of the instrumentation and sensory equipment required for data collection. These systems play an important role in coastal areas as a protection against erosion and as providers of stability to coastal sedimentary deposits. The DIY (Do-It-Yourself) approach to data acquisition can reduce the cost of these environmental studies. In this paper, a low-cost DIY wireless wind data acquisition system is presented which reduces the cost barrier inherent to these types of studies. The system is deployed for the analysis of the foredune of Maspalomas, an arid dune field situated on the south coast of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), for the specific purpose of studying the dynamics of a dune type (tongue dunes), which is typical of this environment. The results obtained can be of interest for the study of these coastal environments at both the local level, for the management of this particular dune field, and at the general level for other similar dune fields around the world.

Article Reference A semantic parliamentary multimedia approach for retrieval of video clips with content understanding
by Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — published Dec 20, 2019
Digital videos of parliamentary activity play an important role in enhancing transparency and accountability for open e-government. The rapid growth in these videos and the lack of semantic annotations and relationships between video and knowledge resources make it increasingly difficult to find accurate video clips with contextual information for content understanding. To overcome this problem, we highlight the need for building multimedia systems based on a semantic vision. With this aim, we focus on (1) how to address the knowledge representation for automatic extraction of contextual information for video content understanding; (2) how to link the parliamentary knowledge structures within video resources to provide accurate video clips retrieval; and (3) how to perform semantic annotation on video resources. The methodology applied is focused on a systematic approach that uses techniques from ontology engineering. This approach is based on the definition of two models: the semantic model and the reference architecture. The semantic model is composed of a reference ontology and a semantic video annotation framework. The ontology provides the support for video content understanding and the semantic vocabulary for annotating video resources. The video annotation framework is based on an RDF-powered semantic video annotation to effectively relate low- and mid-level visual features, corresponding to speakers’ interventions, to high-level parliamentary concepts. To evaluate the proposed system, a prototype for the Canary Islands Parliament (Spain) has been carried out. The results show how semantic enhancement is a key enabler for improved video retrieval on parliamentary multimedia content.

Inproceedings Reference Acoustic Detection of Tagged Angelsharks from an Autonomous Sailboat
by Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — published Dec 10, 2019 — last modified Dec 21, 2019 02:38 PM
Autonomous sailboats are silent surface vehicles which are well suited for acoustic monitoring. The integration of an acoustic receiver in an unmanned surface vehicle has a large potential for population monitoring as it permits to report geo-referenced detections in real time, so that researchers can adapt monitoring strategies as data arrive. In this paper we present preliminary work, done on the framework of ACUSQUAT project, to explore the usage of an acoustic receiver onboard a small (2 m length-over-all) autonomous sailboat in order to detect the presence of tagged adult exemplars of angelshark (Squatina squatina), the target species in ACUSQUAT, in certain areas which have demonstrated that this approach is feasible. Results obtained in simulation and during field trials are presented.
