New Vision Sensor to Measure Gas Pressure

Abstract

The paper presents the construction and operation of a video sensor developed for video-manometer. In the publication the use of video-manometer for measuring gas pressure is presented. A characteristic feature of the device is pressure measurement based on diaphragm deformation and digital image processing. Presented measuring technique eliminates restrictions in the construction of the measuring apparatus arising from non-linear nature of diaphragm deformation. It also allows performing measurements of gas pressure, also of explosive gas, providing galvanic isolation between the factor measured and the measuring device. The paper presents the results of video-manometer calibration and measurements taken during the laboratory tests. It has been shown that the developed video-manometer, that is equipped with a flat silicone diaphragm, allows measuring the gas pressure in the range of 0 -100 mbar with an error less than 2 %. In the experiments the CO2 pressure was measured.

Active solution of homography for pavement crack recovery with four laser lines

“…Vision-based inspection 1 – 4 is broadly applied in the fields of the mechanical part manufacture 5 , 6 , the dimension measurement 7 , 8 , the diagnostic equipment 9 – 11 and Fourier profilometry 12 – 14 , etc. The crack on the pavement is one of the most important inspection objects in the vision-based inspection.…”

Computationally efficient mutual authentication protocol for remote infant incubator monitoring system

“…However, doctors and nurses need to do other works in the hospital at the same time. So, there is a need for efficient infant incubator monitoring system to overcome the above problems by using a wireless medical sensor network [8][9][10]. It is capable of collecting and transmitting medical information to the doctors and relatives, who are in a remote location.…”
