IES Student Branch Chapters continue organizing technical activities under the COVID-19. The Sri Lanka Technological Campus (SLTC) started their journey with IES in 2019. The Induction Ceremony of the newly appointed governing body of the first IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Student Branch Chapter of Sri Lanka was successfully held on the 13th of December 2019, at SLTC. See more SBC activities highlighted in the article!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The IEEE Systems Journal (IF: 3.987) provides a systems-level, focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance. More details on the journal scope can be found here. We invite you to consider this journal as one of the journals where your systems-oriented research results can be published.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEATURED TECHNICAL ARTICLE 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The regular internal inspection of waterworks or sewer pipelines is a fundamental maintenance task to guarantee the correct functionality of the infrastructure and to prevent incidents. The aim of the proposed work is to define the computer vision and machine learning algorithms that can be employed to ease the task of human operators. The system acquires video sequences with a hemispheric camera, unfolds them to ease the visual inspection, and automatically highlights the zones where a potential defect could be detected.
