Nevertheless, the human might want to intervene in the driving process and thus needs the possibility to control the car. Switching back to fully manual controls is uncomfortable once being passive and engaging in non-driving-related activities. A more comfortable way is controlling the car with elemental maneuvers (e.g., "turn left" or "stop"). Whereas touch interaction concepts exist, contactless interaction through voice and mid-air gestures has not yet been explored for maneuver-based car control. In this paper, we, therefore, compare the general eligibility of voice and mid-air gesture with touch interaction as the primary maneuver selection mechanism in a driving simulator study. Our results show high usability for all modalities. Contactless interaction leads to a more positive emotional perception of the interaction, yet mid-air gestures lead to higher task load. Overall, voice and touch control are preferred over mid-air gestures by most users.

Research often focuses on technical aspects of automation, such as computer vision, sensing, or artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, researchers also identified several challenges from a human perspective that need to be considered for a successful introduction of these technologies. In this paper, we first analyze human needs and system acceptance in the context of AVs. Then, based on a literature review, we provide a summary of current research on in-car driver-vehicle interaction and related human factor issues. This work helps researchers, designers, and practitioners to get an overview of the current state of the art.

According to the wishes of the new counselling centre for academic stress, stu-dents are to be interviewed for this purpose. In the following, the thesis integrates the known problems in computer science studies. Additionally, the students of computer science should be made aware of the stress with a cartoon video. With the help of the video the future Eu- and Distressors should be recognized in time and help should be fetched from the Hochschule Ruhr West – University of Ap-plied Sciences. Methods The investigation of stressors is carried out with a focus group interview (N = 4) and with an online questionnaire survey (N = 120). The significance tests are variance-analytical and group deviations are calculated using t-tests and single factor ANOVA. Results The results show differences between the stressors in different groups. Especi-ally in the groups with previously acquired knowledge and with differently asses-sed professional competencies. In particular, the stress level is different between the genders and among computer science students who had fallen ill several times during their studies. Conclusion The results are relevant for the current stress situations in computer science stu-dies and for the next studies. In addition, this study also draws attention to the problems in computer science, such as the lack of women in computer science, which could cause stress for students of computer science. N2 - Einführung Ziel der vorliegenden Thesis ist es, die Eu- und Disstressoren der Infomatikstudierenden an der Hochschule Ruhr West zu untersuchen. Hierzu sollen nach den Wünschen der neuen Beratungsstelle für den Studienstress die Studierenden befragt werden. Nachfolgend werden in der Thesis die bekannten Problematiken im Informatikstudium eingebunden. Zusätzlich sollen die Informatikstudierenden auf den Stress mit einem Cartoon-Video aufmerksam gemacht werden. Mithilfe des Videos sollen die zukünftigen Eu- und Disstressoren rechtzeitig erkannt und Hilfe an der Hochschule Ruhr West abgeholt werden. Methode Die Untersuchung der Stressoren wird mit einem Fokusgruppeninterview (N = 4) und mit einer Online-Fragebogenerhebung (N = 120) durchgeführt. Die Signifikanzprüfungen sind varianzanalytisch und die Abweichungen der Gruppen werden mit t-Tests und einfaktorieller ANOVA berechnet. Ergebnisse Die Ergebnisse zeigen Unterschiede zwischen den Stressoren in unterschiedlichen Gruppen. Vor allem in den Gruppen mit davor erworbenen Vorkenntnissen und mit verschieden bewerteten Fachkompetenzen. Insbesondere ist der Stresslevel zwischen den Geschlechtern und bei den Informatikstudierenden, die mehrmals im Studium erkrankt waren, unterschiedlich. Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse sind für die aktuellen Stresssituationen im Informatikstudium und für die nächsten Studien relevant. Außerdem wird mit dieser Studie auch auf die Problematiken in der Informatik, wie z. B. dem Frauenmangel in der Informatik, die den Informatikstudierenden den Stress verursachen könnten, aufmerksam gemacht.

The evaluation of LiDAR data for the detection of objects is a special challenge for which systems with neural networks can be used. These neural networks are trained by means of a data set. If you want to use the net with your own recordings or another data set, it is important to know how well these systems work in combination with data from another sensor. This allows the results to be estimated in advance and compared with the results of previous experiments. In this work the sensor dependence of a LiDAR based object recognition with neural networks will be analysed. The detector used in this work is PointRCNN [1], which was designed for the KITTI dataset [2]. To check the sensor dependency, the ’AEV Autonomous Driving Dataset’ (A2D2) dataset [3] was selected as a further dataset. After an introduction to PointRCNN and its functionality, the data of both datasets are analysed. Then the data of the second dataset will be ported into the format of the KITTI dataset so that they can be used with PointRCNN. Through experiments with varying combinations of training and validation data it shall be investigated to what extent trained models can be transferred to other sensor data or datasets. Therefore, it shall be investigated how strong the dependence of the detector (PointRCNN) on the used sensors is. The results show that PointRCNN can be evaluated with a different dataset than the training dataset while still being able to detect objects. The point density of the datasets plays a decisive role for the quality of the detection. Therefore it can be said that PointRCNN has a sensor dependency that varies with the nature of the point cloud and its density.

It is a prerequisite to allow communication and integration into the educational system. To solve the underlying problem, we conceptualized a set of principles for the design of language learning systems to support collaboration between teachers and refugee children, using a Design Science Research approach. The proposed design principles offer functional and non-functional requirements of systems, including the integration of open educational resources, different media types to develop visual and audio narratives that can be linked to the cultural and social background. This study also illustrates the use of the proposed design principles by providing a working prototype of a learning system. In this, refugee children can learn the language collaboratively and with freely accessible learning resources. Furthermore, we discuss the proposed design principles with various socio-technical aspects of the well-being determinants to promote a positive system design for different cultural and generational settings. Overall, despite some limitations, the implemented design principles can optimize the potential of open educational resources for the research context and derive further recommendations for further research.

Those measuring applications are having high requirements for the measuring hardware. For example a common interface for fast data exchange, high resolution, independent functionality and easy customizability to suit the measuring application. For that reason, a well-known application for steel-mill process monitoring can be used as a development platform. This hardware platform is based on a vector network analyzer and is meeting the requirements mainly. However, a couple of modifications has to be made, like replacing the ADC for a higher sample rate, Ethernet for easy and fast data exchange and the microcontroller for more calculation power.

The product dimensions are an important part of the quality control; these must maintain the specified tolerances. Additional to the cross-sectional-area, the measured data contains much more information about the manufacturing process, e.g. eccentricity, condition of the rolls and defects of the rod. For analyzing the measured data and to gather more information about the manufacturing process it is necessary to increase the speed of the data acquisition by performing some modifications of the VNA, e.g. faster analog to digital converter and microcontroller, improved firmware and optimized values of the passive electrical components for faster time constants and transient responses.

Despite of the progressive automation and experience, some important process parameters can still not be determined with sufficient accuracy. As part of the research project PIREF, the velocity of the hot rolled rod shall be measured by using im-pedance analysis to estimate the volumetric flow rate of the mate-rial. For a high accuracy measurement of the impedance, a pow-erful VNA is used. To minimize errors in the measurement, caused by e.g. temperature drift, a correction of the measurement fre-quency is needed. This must be achieved without recalibration of the VNA to avoid faulty behavior of the online control. To solve this problem, an approach based on a polynomial regression is presented in this work.

In fact many of these crucial parameters are not be sufficiently determined yet. By improving automation and process control costs and scrap of production can be decreased. As part of the research project PIREF, one of these parameters – the roll gap – is under investigation beside other topics. Before starting rolling, the roll gap is typically set to a fixed value according to the planed dimensions of the product, but the forces during the rolling of the rod cause an enlargement of the roll gap. In which way the rolls change their position and form shall be examined in our research project. Therefore a first experimental setup has been built up to determine the change in position of the rolls under applied force. This is realized by a pot core coil as sensor using impedance analysis. The first results are presented in this work as a proof-of-principle.

In addition, the measurement of process variables such as roll gap, cross-sectional area, velocity, and volume flow of the material during production enables the implementation of model-based control concepts to improve product quality. The non-contact speed measurement of hot wire and bar is still a big challenge due to the rough environmental conditions and is solved mainly with optical measuring methods in production. The alternative measurement principle with eddy current sensors presented in this paper enables velocity measurement at locations in a rolling mill where optical measurement methods are not suitable.

Measurement technology for high-resolution non-contact cross-sectional area measurement has shown that the variation in cross-sectional area contains information about the rolling process. This information can be used for the development of new measurement devices and analytical methods for process optimization. The harsh environmental conditions and strict safety regulations result in great effort when implementing a new sensor prototype in hot rolling mills. For this reason, this work presents a mechatronic test stand that can simulate the cross-sectional area variation under laboratory conditions realistically.

Unfortunately, scant information exists regarding barrier dimensions and correlated design solutions in the information systems (IS) domain, which can serve as a starting point for a design oriented toward well-being in an IGC system. Therefore, in this study, we applied the positive computing approach to guide our analysis in a systematic literature review and developed a framework oriented toward well-being for a system with a multi-generational team. Our study contributes to the IS community by providing five dimensions of barriers to IGC and the corresponding well-being determinants for positive system design. In addition, we propose further research directions to close the research gap based on the review outcomes.

N2 - Globalization and information technology enable people to join the movement of global citizenship and work without borders. However, different type of barriers existed that could affect collaboration in today’s work environment, in which different generations are involved. Although researchers have identified several technical barriers to intergenerational collaboration (iGOAL), the influence of cultural diversity on iGOAL has rarely been studied. Therefore, using a quantitative study approach, this paper investigates the impact of differences in cultural background on perceived technical and operational barriers to iGOAL. Our study reveals six barriers to IGC that are perceived differently by culturally diverse people (CDP) and non-CDP. Furthermore, CDP can foster IGC because CDP consider the barriers to be of less of a reason to avoid working with different generations than do non-CDP.

Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie N2 - Vor dem Hintergrund globaler Vernetzung, Digitalisierung und Big Data geht das Excel-Zeitalter seinem Ende entgegen. Neue Technologien versprechen eine höhere Effizienz und Effektivität des Controllings. Die Veränderungen umfassen dabei alle Aufgabenbereiche des Controllings – allerdings mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit und differenzierten Lösungsansätzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht drei Technologien, die im Controlling derzeit besonders stark diskutiert werden: Robotic Process Automation, Predictive Analytics und Künstliche Intelligenz. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsseminars an der Hochschule Ruhr West in Mülheim a.d.R. wurden dazu 57 Führungskräfte aus Controlling und Rechnungswesen befragt. Über 75% der befragten Unternehmen halten die Digitalisierung für wichtig, mehr als die Hälfte (52%) beabsichtigen, eine oder mehrere der drei untersuchten Technologien in den nächsten drei Jahren neu einzusetzen.

However, this potential is not fully exploited due to various barriers in the production, distribution and the use of OER. In this paper, we present requirements and recommendations for systems for global OER authoring. These requirements as well as the system itself aim at helping creators of OER to overcome typical obstacles such as lack of technical skills, different types of devices and systems as well as the cultural differences in cross-border-collaboration. The system can be used collaboratively to create OER and supports multi-languages for localization. Our paper contributes to facilitate global, collaborative e-Learning and design of authoring platforms by identifying key requirements for OER authoring in a global context.

With the promised benefits of the virtual classroom, many challenges and difficulties come in the implementation. Although there are already successful design principles for virtual classrooms that support organizations in overcoming the challenges, the approach to implementing the design principles of virtual classroom at the vocational higher education in Indonesia is still lacking. In this study, we aim to answer the research gap and used the design sciences research by interviewing the lecturers to design the solutions. The proposed design approaches were implemented in a course and evaluated with students from two different groups.

Nowadays, it is already supported partially by high-class vehicles. A completely autonomous journey is indeed the goal, but in cars for the public road traffic still not available. Automatic lane keeping assistants, speed regulators as well as shield and obstacle detections are parts or precursors on the way to completely autonomous driving. The American vehicle manufacturer Tesla is not only known for its electric drive, but also for the fact that high-pressure work is carried out on the autonomous drive. Tesla is thus the only vehicle manufacturer to use its users as so-called beta testers for its assistance systems. The progress and the function of the currently available Model S in the field of assistance systems and autonomic driving is documented and described in this paper. It is shown how good or bad the test vehicle manages scenarios in normal road traffic situations with the assistance systems, e.g. lane keeping assistant, speed control, lane change and distance assistant, and which scenarios can not be managed by the vehicle itself.

Researchers in different disciplines have already identified various barriers to intergenerational collaboration. However, barriers are changing depending on the context of collaboration, and difficulties still exist to support intergenerational innovation in global settings. Therefore, we investigated the barriers that emerge when people work with someone decades older or younger.

As signal quality is impaired compared to Kinect-type sensors, we study several ways to improve performance when a large number of gesture classes is involved. We investigate the performance of different 3D descriptors, as well as the fusion of two ToF sensor streams. By basing a data fusion strategy on the fact that multilayer perceptrons can produce normalized confidences individually for each class, and similarly by designing information-theoretic online measures for assessing confidences of decisions, we show that appropriately chosen fusion strategies can improve overall performance to a very satisfactory level. Real-time capability is retained as the used 3D descriptors, the fusion strategy as well as the online confidence measures are computationally efficient.

We describe the optimisation of such a NN by a hybrid algorithm combining evolutionary multi-objective optimisation (EMO) and gradient-based learning. The evolved solutions perform considerably faster than an expert-designed architecture without loss of accuracy.

Der Geräuschlaut ist deshalb ein wichtiges Entscheidungskriterium bei der Aus­wahl eines Produktes, welches wahrnehmbaren Schall erzeugt. Die Fragestellung hinsichtlich der Geräuschqualität und des Geräuschdesigns stellt daher hohe Anforderungen an den Akustik-Ingenieur. Zum heutigen Zeitpunkt ist es jedoch nicht möglich, mit einer instrumentellen Meßtechnik Aussagen über die Eignung eines Geräuschschalls für ein Produkt zu machen. Es ist nicht möglich, kognitive Faktoren über eine instrumentelle Meßtechnik zu messen. Es reicht nicht aus, eine Geräuschgüte mit Bewertungsschemata wie dem A-bewerteten Schalldruckpegel oder Lautheitsmodellen zu defi­nieren.

Especially in the field of driver assistance systems the progress in science has reached a level of high performance. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road-based traffic, pose high demands on the development of reliable algorithms due to the conditions imposed by natural environments. At the Institut fur Neuroinformatik, methods for analyzing driving relevant scenes by computer vision are developed in cooperation with several partners from the automobile industry. We introduce a system which extracts the important information from an image taken by a CCD camera installed at the rear view mirror in a car. The approach consists of a sequential and a parallel sensor and information processing. Three main tasks namely the initial segmentation (object detection), the object tracking and the object classification are realized by integration in the sequential branch and by fusion in the parallel branch. The main gain of this approach is given by the integrative coupling of different algorithms providing partly redundant information.

To reduce the number of traffic accidents and to increase the drivers comfort, the thought of designing driver assistance systems rose in the past years. Principal problems are caused by having a moving observer (ego motion) in predominantly natural surroundings. In this paper we present a solution for a flexible architecture for a driver assistance system. The architecture can be subdivided into four different parts: the object-related analysis, the knowledge base, the behavior-based scene interpretation, and the behavior planning unit. The object-related analysis is fed with data by the sensors (vision, radar). The sensor data are preprocessed (flexible sensor fusion) and evaluated (saliency map) searching for object-related information (positions, types of objects, etc.). The knowledge base is represented by static and dynamic knowledge. It consists of a set of rules (traffic rules, physical laws), additional information (GPS, lane-information) and it is implicitly used by algorithms in the system. The scene interpretation combines the information extracted by the object-related analysis and inspects the information for contradictions. It is strongly connected to the behavior planning using only information needed for the actual task. In the scene interpretation consistent representations (i.e., bird’s eye view) are organized and interpreted as well as a scene analysis is performed. The results of the scene interpretation are used for decision making in behavior planning, which is controlled by the actual task.

Our method consists of a standard one-against-all (OAA) classification, followed by another network layer classifying the resulting class scores, possibly augmented by the original raw input vector. This allows the network to disambiguate hard-to-separate classes as the distribution of class scores carries considerable information as well, and is in fact often used for assessing the confidence of a decision. We show that by this approach we are able to significantly boost our results, overall as well as for particular difficult cases, on the hard 10-class gesture classification task.

A sophisticated temporal fusion technique boosts the overall robustness of recognition by taking into account data coming from previous classification steps. Overall results are very satisfactory when evaluated on a large benchmark set of ten different hand poses, especially when it comes to generalization on previously unknown persons.

By adding a cascade of additional classifiers, each of which receives the previous classifier's output in addition to regular input data, the approach harnesses unused information that manifests itself in the form of, e.g., correlations between predicted classes. Using multilayer perceptrons as a classification model, we demonstrate the validity of this approach by testing it on a complex ten-class 3D gesture recognition task.

Applications such as personal identification, access control, forensics appli-cations, e-banking, e-government, e-health and recently person-alized human-smart-home and human-robot interaction present some examples. In order to offer person-specific services for/of specific person a pre-identifying step should be done in the run-up. Using biometric in such application is encountered by diverse challenges. First, using one trait and excluding the others depends on the application aimed to. Some applications demand directly touch to biometric sensors, while others don't. Second challenge is the reliability of used biometric arrangement. Civilized application demands lower reliability comparing to the forensics ones. And third, for biometric system could only one trait be used (uni-modal systems) or multiple traits (Bi- or Multi-modal systems). The latter is applied, when systems with a relative high reliability are expected. The main aim of this paper is providing a comprehensive view about biometric and its application. The above mentioned challenges will be analyzed deeply. The suitability of each biometric sensor according to the aimed application will be deeply discussed. Detailed com-parison between uni-modal and Multi-modal biometric system will present which system where to be utilized. Privacy and security issues of biometric systems will be discussed too.

Furthermore, for people living in such homes, elderly and disabled people in particular and others in general, it is totally important to develop devices, which can support and aid them in their ordinary daily life. We focused in this work on sustaining privacy issues of the user during a real interaction with the surrounding home environment. A smart person-specific assistant system for services in home environment is proposed. The role of this system is the assisting of persons by controlling home activities and guiding the adaption of Smart-Home-Human interface towards the needs of the considered person. At the same time the system sustains privacy issues of it’s interaction partner. As a special case of medical assisting the system is so implemented, that it provides for elderly or disabled people person-specific medical assistance . The system has the ability of identifying its interaction partner using some biometric features. According to the recognized ID the system, first, adopts towards the needs of recognized person. Second the system represents person-specific list of medicines either visually or auditive. And third the system gives an alarm in the case of taking medicament either later or earlier as normal taking time.

ToF sensors are capable of providing depth data at high frame rates independent of illumination making any kind of application possible for in- and outdoor situations. This comes at the cost of precision regarding depth measurements and comparatively low lateral resolution. We present a novel feature generation technique based on a rasterization of the point clouds which realizes fixed-sized input making Deep Learning approaches applicable using Convolutional Neural Networks. In order to increase precision we introduce several methods to reduce noise and normalize the input to overcome difficulties in scaling. Backed by a large-scale database of about half a million data samples taken from different individuals our contribution shows how hand gesture recognition is realiz- able on commodity tablets in real-time at frame rates of up to 17Hz. A leave-one out cross-validation experiment demonstrates the feasibility of our approach with classification errors as low as 1,5% achieved persons unknown to the model.

We utilize time-of-flight data coming from a single sensor and implement the whole gesture recognition pipeline on two different devices outlining the potential of integrating these sensors onto mobile devices. The main components are responsible for cropping the data to the essentials, calculation of meaningful features, training and classifying via neural networks and realizing a GUI on the device. With our system we achieve recognition rates of up to 98% on a 10-gesture set with frame rates reaching 20Hz, more than sufficient for any real-time applications.

The database is the most extensive database of this kind containing over a million data samples (point clouds) recorded from 35 different individuals for ten different static hand postures. This captures a great amount of variance, due to person-related factors, but also scaling, translation and rotation are explicitly represented. Benchmark results achieved with a standard classification algorithm are computed by cross-validation both over samples and persons, the latter implying training on all persons but one and testing on the remaining one. An important result using this database is that cross-validation performance over samples (which is the standard procedure in machine learning) is systematically higher than cross-validation performance over persons, which is to our mind the true application-relevant measure of generalization performance.

To this end, 17 participants were asked to perform the Lane Change Test. This requires each participant to steer a vehicle in a simulated driving environment while interacting with an infotainment system via touch and mid-air gestures. The decrease in performance is measured as the deviation from an optimal baseline. This study concludes comparable deviations from the baseline for the secondary task of infotainment interaction for both interaction variants. This is significant as all participants are experienced in touch interaction, however have had no experience at all with mid-air gesture interaction, favoring mid-air gestures for the long-term scenario.

To this end, we present an approach exploiting the CNN’s ability of automated feature generation and combine it with a novel 3D feature computation technique, preserving local information contained in the data. Experiments are conducted on a large data set of 600.000 samples of hand postures obtained via ToF (time-of-flight) sensors from 20 different persons, after an extensive parameter search in order to optimize network structure. Generalization performance, measured by a leave-one-person-out scheme, exceeds that of any other method presented for this specific task, bringing the error for some persons down to 1.5 %.

Especially in the field of driver assistance systems the progress in science has reached a level of high performance. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road-based traffic, pose high demands on the development of reliable algorithms due to the conditions imposed by natural environments. At the Institut für Neuroinformatik methods for analyzing driving relevant scenes by computer vision are developed in cooperation with several partners from the automobile industry. We introduce a system which extracts the important information from an image taken by a CCD camera installed at the rear view mirror in a car. The approach consists of a sequential and a parallel sensor and information processing. Three main tasks namely the initial segmentation (object detection), the object tracking and the object classification are realized by integration in the sequential branch and by fusion in the parallel branch. The main gain of this approach is given by the integrative coupling of different algorithms providing partly redundant information.

We demonstrate it is possible to achieve satisfactory results in spite of low resolution and high noise (inflicted by the sensors) and a demanding outdoor environment. We set up a large database of pointclouds in order to train multilayer perceptrons as well as support vector machines to classify the various hand poses. Our goal is to fuse data from multiple TOF sensors, which observe the poses from multiple angles. The presented contribution illustrates that real-time capability can be maintained with such a setup as the used 3D descriptors, the fusion strategy as well as the online confidence measures are computationally efficient.

A feature-in decision-out fusion process is solved. For the fusion process a multi layer perceptron (MLP) with one hidden layer is used as a coupling net.

We analyze how the use of tile-images can increase the efficiency (i.e. execution speed) of distributed HOG-based object detectors. Furthermore we discuss the challenges of using our developed algorithms in practical large scale scenarios. We show with a structured evaluation that our approach can provide a speed-up of 30-180 % for existing architectures. Due to the its generic formulation it can be applied to a wide range of HOG-based (or similar) algorithms. In this context we also study the effects of applying our method to an existing detector and discuss a scalable strategy for distributing the computation among nodes in a cluster system.

If different hierarchies of tasks and purposes are built to structure the behavior of a driver, complex systems can be designed. But finally behavior planning in vehicles can only influence the controlled variables: steering angle and velocity. In this paper a behavior planning for a driver assistance system aiming on cruise control is proposed. In this system the controlled variables are determined by an evaluation of the dynamics of two one-dimensional neural fields. The stimuli of the field are determined according to sensor information produced by a simulation environment.

A basic model is estimated during people detection and tracking. This model will be refined if the recognition is triggered. For the refining, several saliency maps are used to extract individual features. These individual features are located separately for any human body parts. The body parts are estimated by the use of a silhouette extraction combined with a skeleton estimation. In this way, the model describes the human clothes in a compact manner which allows the use of a simple and fast comparison method for people recognition. Such models can be used in security and service applications.

IHSED 2018. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing N2 - A self-driving car that operates on the SAE automation level 3 or 4 can navigate through different traffic conditions without human input. If such a system is on its operating limits, it will emit a takeover request before shutting down. This request will likely generate a physical response of the driver. Our goal is to shed light on the stress perception of drivers in various scenarios. To this end, we have carried out a feasibility study for preparation. Two subjects drove an autonomous vehicle and during the ride ECG signals were recorded, and afterwards evaluated. Unfortunately, the stress reaction to takeover requests could not be investigated, due to the poor function of the autonomous driving mode from the vehicle, however the reaction to autopilot misconduct without warning to the driver could be investigated instead.

While some of the common forms of damage are easily visible on the surface, structural problems can remain invisible for years before they eventually result in catastrophic failure of a rotor blade. Common forms of testing fibre composite parts like ultrasonic testing or X-ray tests are impractical due to the large dimensions of wind turbine components and their limited accessibility for any short-range methods. Active thermographic inspection of wind turbines is a promising approach to testing for structural flaws beneath the surface of rotor blades. As part of an ongoing research project, a setup for testing the general viability of this method was built and used to compare different thermographic cameras. A sample cut from a discarded rotor blade was modified to emulate structural damage. The results are promising for the development of a cost effective on-site testing system.

Common maintenance practices result in long downtimes and do not lead to the required results. Therefore, the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences and the iQbis Consulting GmbH, currently research a new structural health monitoring method for wind turbine rotor blades. The goal of this project is to build a sensor system that can detect structural weaknesses inside of rotor blades without the need of downtime for industrial climbers. This technology has the potential to prevent accidents, save lives, extend the useful life of wind turbines and optimize the production of green energy.

IHCI 2017. Lecture Notes in Computer Science N2 - We present a pipeline for recognizing dynamic freehand gestures on mobile devices based on extracting depth information coming from a single Time-of-Flight sensor. Hand gestures are recorded with a mobile 3D sensor, transformed frame by frame into an appropriate 3D descriptor and fed into a deep LSTM network for recognition purposes. LSTM being a recurrent neural model, it is uniquely suited for classifying explicitly time-dependent data such as hand gestures. For training and testing purposes, we create a small database of four hand gesture classes, each comprising 40 × 150 3D frames. We conduct experiments concerning execution speed on a mobile device, generalization capability as a function of network topology, and classification ability ‘ahead of time’, i.e., when the gesture is not yet completed. Recognition rates are high (>95%) and maintainable in real-time as a single classification step requires less than 1 ms computation time, introducing freehand gestures for mobile systems.

The proof that these systems can provide the same or better learning outcomes than a text instructed practical task could represent a significant benefit for educational activities. METHODS & DATA: To fathom the effectiveness, an experimental study with the three conditions (VR, AR and a real setup) were used to teach participant how to assemble a standard computer. Each condition was divided into two parts: part one in which participants were confronted with their specific scenario, part two in which participants had to go through a real practice after one week. The learning outcome was determined by the designation of hardware parts, a quiz that queried their function and the correct assembling of the components in addition to needed time. Apart from the mere performance, the acceptance of such application in academic context and difference in evaluation by men and women were of interest. RESULTS: Results concerning the Learning Outcome showed that participants from the VR condition outperformed those learned from the real setup ((M=10.0, SD=0.0) [virtual reality] vs. (M=8.95, SD=1.27) [control]). Furthermore, results from the assembling duration assessment demonstrated that VR Group Participants completed their tasks 6.62% faster than the control group. Regarding the identification of Hardware Parts, both groups scored a significant improvement during the post condition compared to the first test run, indicating a learning progress. However, due to the VR group achieving a better outcome in average answers and a more significant difference between the trials, the results indicate a better performance by participants assigned to the VR condition. ADDED VALUE: The results revealed that VR and AR systems could exceed text-based approach in terms of learning outcome performance. The effectiveness of the systems implicates a major benefit for the educational landscape, as learning content that is not realizable in terms of cost, distance or logistics could be designed as an immersive and engaging experience.
