We are proposing a new way for pets to post on social media networks, where pets post by pressing a pedal. For pets to post, we create a pet feeder with a camera, pedal, and internet connection. To control the machine remotely, we also developed an Android application to read and write stories on Facebook and open the trays for pet food. We interviewed three veterinarians and discussed the usability...
Although blogging has been around for years, lifelogging and lifeblogging takes this technology and behaviour to the next level. Lifelogging is based on portable mini or even disguised devices which can capture and record everything the eye sees. This technology, coupled with the option of posting everything online, offers both benefits and privacy threats. Very few studies have been completed regarding...
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a newly proposed networking architecture for the future Internet. It has superiorities over today's IP-based architecture in some aspects. On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a direction of the future Internet. Due to the existence of large amounts of weak network devices (NDs) with constrained resources, current CCN models that are designed mainly...
Thanks to the Internet development, a surveillance user can monitor the distant events via a browser on a computer. These events can be even viewed on a mobile phone with the assistance from modern mobile networks. Besides, two well-known platforms - OSGi and OpenCV are widely used for application construction. OSGi is constructed to provide a service platform with high application interoperability...
SpriteDB tool has two main objectives. Firstly, it provides an open-source, uniform platform for accessing a vast collection of test videos used for sprite generation. Secondly, it presents the experiments with intermediate results generated by our approach for comparison and analysis. Our experimental results consist of classification of videos for sprite generation, synthetic and ground truth video...
The environmental science communities are actively engaged in developing the next generation of large-scale sensor based field observing systems. The challenges that these systems face are listed as below: complexity of sensor data stream processing and effects of Web-based real-time data display. In this paper, we utilized the RBNB DataTurbine, an open-source streaming data middleware to improve...
IIT Bombay (IITB) has been transmitting some of its courses as part of its distance education initiative, coordinated by the Centre for Distance Engineering Education Programme (CDEEP). These courses are regular courses taken by IITB students, transmitted live from the classroom, which have a studio like environment with projectors, cameras and mikes. CDEEP makes videos of these recorded lectures...
Video indexing requires the efficient segmentation of video into scenes. The video is first segmented into shots and a set of key-frames is extracted for each shot. Typical scene detection algorithms incorporate time distance in a shot similarity metric. In the method we propose, to overcome the difficulty of having prior knowledge of the scene duration, the shots are clustered into groups based only...
Thanks to the attractions of the multimedia, namely interactivity and multimodality, it seems that web sites and CD-ROMs have the capacity to transmit heritage information to the public. But ultimately they miss real cognitive or educational purposes. Consequently, this article suggests enriching the conception of educational products, combining the potential of video games with the methods of representation...
