The number of injuries is increasing on a regular basis, as are concerns about driver and passenger safety. Countries that have minimized road traffic risk effectively have adopted a "systems approach" to road safety. The issue of road safety is centered on speed. There is a clear connection between speed and the number of accidents as well as the seriousness of the crash's consequences. This framework proposes a speed limit camera monitoring/tracking system that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and cloud computing with the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) module to provide valuable information about roads in order to improve safety. It also alerts the driver about signs, breaks, and which roads it connects to in the future.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of an infrared scanning and tracking system for detecting mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral characteristics of moving targets. The infrared spectra and infrared image are integrated in this system, which is mainly composed of a two-dimensional (2D) scanning mirror, dual-band infrared lens, long-wave infrared imaging unit, MWIR spectrum-measuring unit, and processing-controlling unit. After describing the design specifications of this system, this paper analyzes the detection method and then describes how the tracking was realized by controlling the 2D scanning mirror. Experiments were carried out to verify its feasibility.

Thermal imagery for monitoring of body temperature provides a powerful tool to decrease health risks (e.g., burning) for patients during medical imaging (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging). The presented approach discusses an experiment to simulate radiology conditions with infrared imaging along with an automatic thermal monitoring/tracking system. The thermal tracking system uses an incremental low-rank noise reduction applying incremental singular value decomposition (SVD) and applies color based clustering for initialization of the region of interest (ROI) boundary. Then a particle filter tracks the ROI(s) from the entire thermal stream (video sequence). The thermal database contains 15 subjects in two positions (i.e., sitting, and lying) in front of thermal camera. This dataset is created to verify the robustness of our method with respect to motion-artifacts and in presence of additive noise (2–20%—salt and pepper noise). The proposed approach was tested for the infrared images in the dataset and was able to successfully measure and track the ROI continuously (100% detecting and tracking the temperature of participants), and provided considerable robustness against noise (unchanged accuracy even in 20% additive noise), which shows promising performance.

David Magnusson has been the most articulate spokesperson for a holistic, systems approach to personality. This paper considers three concepts relevant to a dynamic systems approach to personality: dynamics, systems, and levels. Some of the history of a dynamic view is traced, leading to an emphasis on the need for stressing the interplay among goals. Concepts such as multidetermination, equipotentiality, and equifinality are shown to be important aspects of a systems approach. Finally, attention is drawn to the question of levels of description, analysis, and explanation in a theory of personality. The importance of the issue is emphasized in relation to recent advances in our understanding of biological processes. Integrating such advances into a theory of personality while avoiding the danger of reductionism is a challenge for the future.
