In recent years, mobile cyber physical systems have found applicability in multiple areas such as mobile intelligent robots and robotics systems, intelligent transportation systems, environmental monitoring systems, healthcare systems and so on. Remote control of mobile objects is a very promising field which allows to improve the convenience and safety of human society life. According to the fact...
Visuomotor integration (VMI), the use of visual information to guide motor planning, execution, and modification, is necessary for a wide range of functional tasks. To comprehensively, quantitatively assess VMI, we developed a paradigm integrating virtual environments, motion-capture, and mobile eye-tracking. Virtual environments enable tasks to be repeatable, naturalistic, and varied in complexity...
Mobile attack approaches can be categorized as Application Based Attacks and Frequency Based Attacks. Application based attacks are reviewed extensively in the literature. However, frequency based attacks to mobile phones are not experimented in detail. In this work, we have experimentally succeeded to attack an Android smartphone using a simple software based radio circuit. We have developed a software...
The current paper presents the Quiz Cube application and its evaluation. The Quiz Cube application is an AR mobile learning application for students and teachers to easily make and use AR UI system using fiducial marker cubes. AR as a platform is just now reaching its full potential. Since smartphones and mobile devices are now at a sufficiently large user base, it is worth looking at the potential...
This article deals with a problem of creating and managing medium to large scale software projects aimed at promoting research activities in the field of autonomous mobile robotic systems. We will demonstrate on an example of such systems how we identified critical parts of the project and how can be created simple but powerful software architecture suitable for complex management of all subsystems...
With the need of an Augmented Reality based platform for simulation of three dimension models, generated with a series of two dimension images, on real environment, the main objective of this project is to build a platform for users to use both these functionalities. This is a mobile application which helps people to decide when they are buying household items, whether that item fits their desired...
Mobile sensor networks are often composed of agents with weak processing capabilities and some means of mobility. However, recent developments in embedded systems have enabled more powerful and portable processing units capable of analyzing complex data streams in real time. Systems with such capabilities are able to perform tasks such as 3D visual localization and tracking of targets. They are also...
With the rapid development of modern information technology and engineering, the maturity of market, the diversity of users' demands and needs, the connotation, techniques and methods of product design have undergone profound changes. When consumers are choosing the product, what they concern most is the product's function, the essence of the product. The key point for product designers is to design...
The usage of computational systems in medicine is changing from traditional computers to mobile devices with high performance wireless network connections and high definition touch screen user interface. Medical imaging like other clinical information systems, follow that paradigm. Although Medical thermography is the second oldest modality of medical imaging, it has been disregarded for years. However...
The ongoing advances in mobile application programming interfaces and frameworks make it easier to develop this type of applications. However, the design of mobile user interfaces and prototypes that enable advanced interaction styles still requires improvement. In this paper, we describe an approach for rapid prototyping of mobile applications. Here, we fall back on reusing existing tools and applications.
We investigate user experiences when using augmented reality (AR) as a new aid to navigation. We integrate AR with other more common interfaces into a handheld navigation system, and we conduct an exploratory study to see where and how people exploit AR. Based on previous work on augmented photographs, we hypothesize that AR is used more to support wayfinding at static locations when users approach...

In this paper we investigate possible solutions for alleviating retail manufacturers of logistical concerns by using inexpensive cell phones with WAP and WiFi capabilities, low resolution digital cameras, and open source applications for web hosts in the cloud to store and process business information. The proposed inventory tracking system prototype is aimed at the company's agents whose responsibilities...
In this paper, the compatibility of fingerprint images captured with mobile cameras (touch-less) with existing touch-based commercial fingerprint verification software VeriFinger SDK is investigated. The touch-less fingerprint images taken with mobile cameras are different with the fingerprint images captured from touch-based scanners. The research in this paper shows that the commercial fingerprint...
Emergency vehicles are increasingly dependent on ICT systems. Public safety responder's need is to enhance mission critical voice with broadband data. Command and control applications aboard a vehicle are commonplace. There is a need to ease situational awareness and decision making by using cameras and sensor information. However, countries and user organizations are developing own solutions according...
This paper describes our on-going efforts toward developing heterogeneous, cooperative systems technologies. In particular, we present the role of unmanned mobile ground systems (robots) in a heterogeneous sensor network, consisting of two unmanned aircraft, a mobile ground robot, and a set of four stationary ground sensors, performing an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission...
Augmented Reality Systems (ARSs) are a logical evolution of virtual reality systems. This new type of system enriches reality by mixing real elements with electronic information. This paper identifies the common tasks performed by ARSs, the underlying software and hardware components that support them and the most common architectures for ARSs. Subsequently, the paper reviews some ARSs, identifying...
This paper analyzes the inflexibility of video data collection for current 3G video phones. A solution for adaptive video data collection is proposed. The solution proposed in this work mainly consists of software components, according to which hardware needs to be selected. It also gives the video phone terminal structure, block diagram for H.324M video phone terminal, the main software functional...
Changing business environments, increasing complexity of industrial products, and an aging workforce are some of the challenges that have to be faced in the industrial field service area. In this paper, we present some application scenarios of bar codes in industrial field service and evaluate the suitability of existing 2D bar code software development kits to be utilized in the described scenarios...
Tourism studies have noted that insufficient attention has been paid to the experience and practices of the tourist. Tourism research does not help to explain the nature of modern mass tourism. The most detailed research that has been done is tourist information seeking, but the literature has tended to avoid detailed qualitative description, focusing more on broad categorizations of tourist practice...
