The upgrade of the LHCb trigger system
The LHCb experiment will operate at a luminosity of
cms during LHC Run 3. At this rate the present readout and
hardware Level-0 trigger become a limitation, especially for fully hadronic
final states. In order to maintain a high signal efficiency the upgraded LHCb
detector will deploy two novel concepts: a triggerless readout and a full
software trigger.Comment: Proceedings of the Workshop on Intelligent Trackers, 14-16 May 2014,

Tracking chains revisited
The structure , introduced and first
analyzed in Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL), is shown to be elementary
recursive. Here, denotes the proof-theoretic ordinal of the fragment
- of second order number theory, or equivalently the
set theory , which axiomatizes limits of models of
Kripke-Platek set theory with infinity. The partial orderings and
denote the relations of - and -elementary
substructure, respectively. In a subsequent article we will show that the
structure comprises the core of the structure of pure
elementary patterns of resemblance of order . In Carlson and Wilken 2012
(APAL) the stage has been set by showing that the least ordinal containing a
cover of each pure pattern of order is . However, it is not
obvious from Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL) that is an elementary
recursive structure. This is shown here through a considerable disentanglement
in the description of connectivity components of and . The key
to and starting point of our analysis is the apparatus of ordinal arithmetic
developed in Wilken 2007 (APAL) and in Section 5 of Carlson and Wilken 2012
(JSL), which was enhanced in Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL) specifically for
the analysis of .Comment: The text was edited and aligned with reference [10], Lemma 5.11 was

Simulation and performance of an artificial retina for 40 MHz track reconstruction
We present the results of a detailed simulation of the artificial retina
pattern-recognition algorithm, designed to reconstruct events with hundreds of
charged-particle tracks in pixel and silicon detectors at LHCb with LHC
crossing frequency of . Performances of the artificial retina
algorithm are assessed using the official Monte Carlo samples of the LHCb
experiment. We found performances for the retina pattern-recognition algorithm
comparable with the full LHCb reconstruction algorithm.Comment: Final draft of WIT proceedings modified according to JINST referee's

Measurements by A LEAP-Based Virtual Glove for the hand rehabilitation
Hand rehabilitation is fundamental after stroke or surgery. Traditional rehabilitation
requires a therapist and implies high costs, stress for the patient, and subjective evaluation of
the therapy effectiveness. Alternative approaches, based on mechanical and tracking-based gloves,
can be really effective when used in virtual reality (VR) environments. Mechanical devices are often
expensive, cumbersome, patient specific and hand specific, while tracking-based devices are not
affected by these limitations but, especially if based on a single tracking sensor, could suffer from
occlusions. In this paper, the implementation of a multi-sensors approach, the Virtual Glove (VG),
based on the simultaneous use of two orthogonal LEAP motion controllers, is described. The VG is
calibrated and static positioning measurements are compared with those collected with an accurate
spatial positioning system. The positioning error is lower than 6 mm in a cylindrical region of interest
of radius 10 cm and height 21 cm. Real-time hand tracking measurements are also performed, analysed
and reported. Hand tracking measurements show that VG operated in real-time (60 fps), reduced
occlusions, and managed two LEAP sensors correctly, without any temporal and spatial discontinuity
when skipping from one sensor to the other. A video demonstrating the good performance of VG
is also collected and presented in the Supplementary Materials. Results are promising but further
work must be done to allow the calculation of the forces exerted by each finger when constrained by
mechanical tools (e.g., peg-boards) and for reducing occlusions when grasping these tools. Although
the VG is proposed for rehabilitation purposes, it could also be used for tele-operation of tools and
robots, and for other VR applications
Reproducible Evaluation of Pan-Tilt-Zoom Tracking
Tracking with a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera has been a research topic in
computer vision for many years. However, it is very difficult to assess the
progress that has been made on this topic because there is no standard
evaluation methodology. The difficulty in evaluating PTZ tracking algorithms
arises from their dynamic nature. In contrast to other forms of tracking, PTZ
tracking involves both locating the target in the image and controlling the
motors of the camera to aim it so that the target stays in its field of view.
This type of tracking can only be performed online. In this paper, we propose a
new evaluation framework based on a virtual PTZ camera. With this framework,
tracking scenarios do not change for each experiment and we are able to
replicate online PTZ camera control and behavior including camera positioning
delays, tracker processing delays, and numerical zoom. We tested our evaluation
framework with the Camshift tracker to show its viability and to establish
baseline results.Comment: This is an extended version of the 2015 ICIP paper "Reproducible
