    Abstract: This paper provides a new approach to the multi-robot path planning problem predicting the position of a dynamic obstacle which undergoes linear motion in the given workspace changing its direction at regular intervals of time. The prediction is done in order to avoid collision of the robots with the dynamic obstacle. First the work is done in simu... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents a discrimination of pneumoconiosis X-ray images obtained with a common CCD scanner. Current computer-aided diagnosis systems of pneumoconiosis have been proposed to images obtained with a special scanner such as a drum scanner or a film scanner for X-ray pictures. However, since the special scanners need a large storage space an... Show More
