Abstract:
A method for conducting leeway field experiments to establish the drift properties of small objects (0.1–25 m) is described. The objective is to define a standardized and unambiguous procedure for condensing the drift properties down to a set of coefficients that may be incorporated into existing stochastic trajectory forecast models for drifting objects of concern to search and rescue operations and other activities involving vessels lost at sea such as containers with hazardous material. An operational definition of the slip or wind and wave-induced motion of a drifting object relative to th

Abstract:
During the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake occurring at the North–East pacific region, serious secondary disasters caused by collision of drifting containers or ships occurred in various structures when tsunami came. Drifting objects including large ships and tankers come in and out of ports in Japan. Disaster deterioration caused by drifting objects during earthquake and tsunami has become another problem. In this study, it is assumed that a large drifting ship collides with a large-span bridge in the gulf line during a tsunami. To investigate the impact behavior of the bridge during collisi

Abstract:
The importance of drifting objects to small juvenile pelagic fish was investigated off the coast of New South Wales, Australia. Distance-related and temporal patterns in the distribution of clumps of drifting algae were investigated with 5000 m2 transects at five distances from shore (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 km), two to three times per season for 2 years. Juvenile fish associated with drift algae were collected. Clumps of algae, predominantly Sargassum spp., were most abundant in spring, which coincided with the highest abundance of alga-associated post-flexion juvenile fish. Drift algae were al

Abstract:
When humans view a moving object, the spatial lag in perception expected from neural delays may be partially corrected by motion mechanisms biasing perceived position. The drifting-Gabor illusion seems to support this view: the perceived location of a static envelope filled with a moving pattern is shifted in the direction of motion. To test whether this shifting mechanism also extrapolates the position of moving displacing objects, we compared the perceptual position shift for drifting versus displacing Gabors when the motion is toward the fovea and when the motion is away from the fovea.

In addition to the website, dedicated applications for iOS and Android have been created to optimise the user experience on mobile devices.

Abstract:
In Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, debris entrained within the incoming tsunami waves was responsible for widespread infrastructure damage (Chock et al., 2011). The presence of debris within the inundating wave needs to be taken into consideration; however, few methodologies and tools exist to estimate debris hazards. Therefore, one option to evaluate the behavior of drifting debris is using numerical models. Currently, the particle method, which is a meshless analysis method, is expected to be utilized for analyzing the behavior of drifting objects (Goaseberg et al., 2017). However, the

Abstract:
Along with the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (Mw 9.0), a huge tsunami exceeding a maximum wave height of 15 m occurred. Many people and objects were destroyed and drifted by the tsunami. In addition, these debris were transported to various places that could not be predicted, resulting in significant secondary damage and increase in the number of missing. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of damage, it is important to predict the behavior and landing points of person after set adrift in a tsunami. The best way to increase the rescue rate is to predict in advance the area that people

Abstract The Norwegian Coastal Administration registers maritime incidents in Norwegian waters. Drifting ships and drifting objects may cause serious incidents and possible disasters. By analysing ship traffic in Norwegian waters, it is documented that the frequency of drifting ships has been approximately 0.15% of the registered ship transits, or 150–165 drifting cases annually. In addition to a possible grounding when a vessel reaches the coastline, the increased use of the ocean space for wind farms, floating solar installations, and fish farming structures (moving from sheltered coastal si

Given the initial object’s location in the first frame of sequential image or video, the first approach tracks object based on studying the correlations between the ob- ject’s information in consecutive frames. On the opposite, given some object’s prior knowledge, the second approach detects the object in each single frame, so called the “tracking by detection” approach.

Abstract:
Visual tracking of humans or objects in motion is a challenging problem when observed data undergo appearance changes (e.g., due to illumination variations, occlusion, cluttered background, etc.). Moreover, tracking systems are usually initialized with predefined target templates, or trained beforehand using known datasets. Hence, they are not always efficient to detect and track objects whose appearance changes over time. In this paper, we propose a multimodal framework based on particle filtering for visual tracking of objects under challenging conditions (e.g., tracking various human body p

Abstract The Duncker illusion, also known as induced motion, is the illusory component of motion perceived when the background against which a target is seen moves.1 For example, if an object moves leftward and its background moves upward, then the object will be perceived to be moving diagonally, downward and to the left. Note that the illusionary component is in the direction opposite to that of the background motion. A common example of the Duncker illusion in the “real world” is when, on a partially cloudy night, the moon appears to slowly move in the direction opposite that of the slowly

Abstract When a tsunami arrives at an urban port, the most serious concern is the damage caused by tsunami drifting objects. In other words, the damage caused by tsunami drifting objects was also enormous, even in previous disasters. Containers, automobiles, timber, and other objects drifted, resulting in a blockade of the port of the harbor, which required a great deal of time and expense to restore. Therefore, estimating the scale and damage of the occurrence of drifting objects in harbors is extremely important in the early restoration and reconstruction of the port. Therefore, the purpose

The large-scale tsunami generated by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 caused a great deal of damage. In addition to tsunami hydrodynamic forces, loads generated by drifting objects such as ships and cars can cause destruction in coastal areas. As such, impact forces due to collisions of drifting objects are an important consideration in the design and planning of structures in coastal areas. Depending on the size of the drifting object, it is difficult to evaluate the effect of the impact force at the time of collision through tank experiments. Therefore, it is necessary to de

Abstract One of the reasonable methods to analyze the collision force of a tsunami drifting object against a structure is a particle method. However, when both the structure and the drifting body are composed of particles, there are various problems such as particles of the collision object slipping through particles of the structure. Therefore, the authors have constructed a particle method - analytical solution hybrid method which can analyze the collision force of a tsunami drifting object to an elastic member by constructing a structure as a boundary condition acting on a drifting object.

Abstract Several formulas have already been proposed to predict the impact force of flotsam caused by tsunamis. All of these equations require the impact velocity of the flotsam to calculate the impact force, and many studies have been conducted on the drifting velocity of the flotsam. Although CFD calculation methods have been used for such as problems, detail of behaviors of the flotsam colliding with a structure is still unclear. However, it has been known that the drifting velocity in front of the structure decreases very much. In order to improve accuracy of the impact force, the decelera
