Knowledge-based systems have been used to monitor machines and processes in the real world. In this paper we propose the use of knowledge-based systems to monitor other AI systems in operation. We motivate and provide a problem analysis of…

Despite significant advances in particle imaging technologies over the past two decades, few advances have been made in particle tracking, i.e. linking individual particle positions across time series data. The state-of-the-art tracking…

Moving clouds affect the global solar irradiance that reaches the surface of the Earth. As a consequence, the amount of resources available to meet the energy demand in a smart grid powered using Photovoltaic (PV) systems depends on the…

This paper presents an innovative method for automatically detecting dust accumulation on a PV system and notifying the user to clean it instantly. The accumulation of dust, bird, or insect droppings on the surface of photovoltaic (PV)…

Robustly tracking a person of interest in the crowd with a robotic platform is one of the cornerstones of human-robot interaction. The robot platform which is limited by the computational power, rapid movements, and occlusions of the target…

This paper describes a flexible approach to short term prediction of meteorological variables. In particular, we focus on the prediction of the solar irradiance one hour ahead, a task that has high practical value when optimizing solar…

Micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAV) became very common in recent years. As a result of their widespread usage, when they are flown by hobbyists illegally, crucial risks are imposed and such mUAVs need to be sensed by security systems.…

Digital co-addition of astronomical images is a common technique for increasing signal-to-noise and image depth. A modification of this simple technique has been applied to the detection of minor bodies in the Solar System: first stationary…

Solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in history. Unfortunately, significantly increasing the grid's fraction of solar energy remains challenging due to its variability, which makes balancing electricity's supply and demand…

Weather station data is a valuable resource for climate prediction, however, its reliability can be limited in remote locations. To compound the issue, making local predictions often relies on sensor data that may not be accessible for a…
