Traffic sign detection is a crucial task in autonomous driving systems. Due to its importance, several techniques have been used to solve this problem. In this work, the three more common approaches are evaluated. The first approach uses a model of the traffic sign which is based in color and shape. The second one enhances the image model of the first approach using K-means for color clustering. The last approach uses convolutional neural networks designed for image detection. The LISA Traffi...

The N-Queens problem is relevant in Artificial Intelligence (AI); the solution methodology has been used in different computational intelligent approaches. Max Bezzel proposed the problem in 1848 for eight queens in 8 × 8 chessboard. After that, the formulation was modified to an N-Queens problem in a chessboard. There are several ways of posing the problem and algorithms to solve it. We describe two commonly used mathematical models that handle the position of queens and restrictions. The fi...

El conflicto armado en Colombia ha sido un tema de estudio desde diferentes ámbitos, dadas las implicaciones sociales, económicas, políticas, y ambientales que ha generado. A partir de esto, el presente artículo tiene por propósito el analizar las nociones generales de lo que implica hablar de conflicto en territorio colombiano y de la relación de este con el deterioro ambiental del país, para lo que se hizo necesario identificar en primer momento el contexto y atributos generales del...

Organic coffee growing has positioned itself as a competitive strategic activity in Mexican territory, representing a considerable income alternative for small national producers. However, in recent years despite this context, the country has lost positions, an issue analysed from the use of the method of analysis of Constant Market Share, which symbolises a statistical technique that helps to break down the growth of exports, and thus to study their behaviour, which finally allowed to estima...

Este informe presenta los hallazgos de una investigación sobre la extorsión comercial y el cobro de piso en Tijuana. Si bien se trata de un fenómeno que puede afectar a cualquiera que forme parte de una cadena de valor, nuestro trabajo se enfoca en los grandes empresarios, las Pymes y los comerciantes de sectores formales e informales de la ciudad fronteriza. Desde México Evalúa, en alianza con el Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at U...

This book chapter discusses the background of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Chapter for Latin America and the Caribbean, its actions, and achievements since its foundation that dates to 2011. With more than seven years of work and members from 16 countries in the Latin American region, this PRME Chapter has worked extensively in all six principles of PRME. This section of the book also presents some of the research that has been developed as joint efforts from the...

Pose estimation is an important task for novel engineering applications, such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), pose-based video games, object reconstruction, target tracking, driving assistance and recent sports analytics. Commonly, an efficient pose estimation system depends on the pose visualization given by a 3D configuration of location, orientation, and scaling parameters of the target. In this work we implement Capsule Networks to solve 3D pose estimation in computer gra...

This study’s purpose is to statistically measure the differences between values perception of first- and fourth-year undergraduate students by evaluating the relative importance of the values of the self-transcendence spectrum, universalism, and benevolence as triggers of the sustainable entrepreneur’s mindset. Educating for sustainability means students’ engagement in projects and initiatives that nurture a sustainable mindset. Values do matter when it comes to sustainability focus business....

A visual approach in environment recognition for robot navigation is proposed. This work includes a template matching filtering technique to detect obstacles and feasible paths using a single camera to sense a cluttered environment. In this problem statement, a robot can move from the start to the goal by choosing a single path between multiple possible ways. In order to generate an efficient and safe path for mobile robot navigation, the proposal employs a pseudo-bacterial potential field al...
