BCJR based source coding of image residuals is investigated. From a trellis representation of the residual, a joint source-channel coding system is formed.

The novelty of this work is the use of the BCJR algorithm and the MAP criterion in the source coding procedure. The source encod

This paper presents the preliminary evaluation of different powered-wheelchair control modes for individuals with severe motor impediments. To this end, a C400 Permobil wheelchair has been updated with a control command communication interface and equipped with a scanning laser sensor to carry out the automation algorithms that are part of the robot operating system framework.
