Detection method for transparent window cleaning device, image processing approach | Scientific Reports - Nature.com

Image
Abstract Recent years, there has been an increase in the number of high-rise buildings, and subsequently, the interest in external wall cleaning methods has similarly increased. While a number of exterior wall cleaning robots are being developed, a method to detect contaminants on the exterior walls is still required. The exteriors of most high-rise buildings today take the form of a window curtain-wall made of translucent glass. Detecting dust on translucent glass is a significant challenge. Here, we have attempted to overcome this challenge using image processing, inspired by the fact that people typically use just the 'naked eye' to recognize dust on windows. In this paper, we propose a method that detects dust through simple image processing techniques and estimates its density. This method only uses processing techniques that are not significantly restricted by global brightness and background, making it easily applicable in outdoor conditions. Dust separation was performe...

Rediair air filtration system: Clean air on demand - Health Europa

Image
Air filtration systems are increasingly recognised as a valuable method of infection control, GAMA Healthcare outlines the benefits of its adaptable Rediair system. Environmental decontamination and hand hygiene are universally recognised as important methods for reducing the risk of infections and keeping people safe. However, adequate ventilation is vital for ensuring the air within hospitals and workplaces is safe. Aerosols and droplets carry infectious microorganisms in the air that can spread infections more easily within poorly ventilated spaces. Effective air filtration systems can help remove these microorganisms and particulates from the air by drawing air through the machine, trapping the contaminants within a HEPA filter and blowing clean air back into the room. Aerosol and droplet transmission We constantly release bacteria, viruses, and fungi into the air around us. Pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis , influenza, RSV and coronaviruses are found in ...
