In multiview video applications, view synthesis is a computationally intensive task that needs to be done correctly and efficiently in order to deliver a seamless user experience. In order to provide fast and efficient view synthesis, in this paper, we present a cloud-based implementation that will be especially beneficial to mobile users whose devices may not be powerful enough for high quality view...
We present ‘ARClassNote’, an Augmented Reality application that enables users to save and share handwritten notes across multiple optical see-through Head Mounted Devices. In an augmented classroom environment, ‘ARClassNote’ makes it easier to achieve bilateral communication between instructors and students, and share written class materials without occlusion. We showcase how each component of ‘ARClassNote’...
Monitoring of residences and businesses can be effectively performed using machine learning algorithms. As sensors and devices used for monitoring become more complex, having humans process the information to detect intrusions would be expensive and difficult to scale. We propose an automated home/business monitoring system which resides on edge servers performing online learning on streaming data...
Although cameras are commonly used to achieve customer's attributes in the field of advertising, improving the precision of these consumer features just by imagery has been a great challenge. This paper proposes a new targeted advertising method experimentally accommodated to digital signage systems by using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons. The paper provides a design of this new advertising method...
A novel approach for robot tracking and identification based on barcodes is proposed in this paper. The proposed system tracks robots fitted with barcodes identifying them. The system performs distributed visual processing and collaborative barcode tracking, whereby the nodes exchange processed visual information with appropriate neighboring nodes, informing them about incoming targets. The proposed...
Structure of the control system for passenger traffic registration in public transport of “smart” city, which is based on a modular principle, was built. Description and function of the main components in the structural diagram of the system are presented. Step-by-step algorithm of the control system for passenger traffic registration in public transport of “smart” city with specific explanation of...
Nowadays, providing a security system for houses has become a vital research in which the latest technologies are being adopted to serve this purpose. Wireless network is one of the technologies that have been used to provide remote monitor and control for the home appliances. This paper aims to propose a security door lock system based on Raspberry pi technology where cameras, keypad and pi-lids...
Provision of reliable traffic data could cause a reduction of the traffic problem. In a previous paper, the authors developed the core of RIMAC, an information system that allows the introduction of new and reliable sources of information from camcorders, traffic lights or mobile phones. With these new data sources, RIMAC is able to provide many more realistic reports. This paper describes the development...
This paper proposes a design of the procedure for interoperability between video surveillance systems and verifies whether these systems are interworked according to the designed interworking procedures. In order to verify the interworking procedure of video surveillance systems, we implemented interoperability verification monitoring system. Through implementation results, we prove that video surveillance...
Recently, interest in contents utilizing 360 and Virtual Reality images is increasing. These images are generally transformed into Equirectangular projection and transmitted in a 2:1 ratio rectangular shape. However, this method causes distortion of the upper and lower parts of the 360 images which is widely spread. Furthermore, since the spread 360 images requires higher data rate, it is difficult...
Information and Communication Technology is always walking in the forefront of human education. Now, it is the stage where human education has to adapt itself to the developing technologies. In 2016, the Natural Science Foundation suggested that people need to use the human-technology to improve and extend the human learning. This paper provides the concept of Software Defined Class (SDC), where the...
This paper represents a cooperative searching strategy of swarm robot in finding and localizing odor source. 3 robots, namely: Cyborg G11, Cyborg G12, and Cyborg G13 were used as agents that form the swarm in this research. The cooperation among the robots trough communication has shown the success of the swarm in odor searching. When one of the agents in swarm robot detected a high concentration...
This new observing robot is a robot attached with auto focus webcam camera at front side of its body which is controlled by user from a far distance and designed to be used in indoor environment. The robot is designed by using designed android application on android device with Visual Reality (VR) to control movement of camera and using joystick for the direction of robot. Both controllers transfer...
Wireless video applications for Industrial Internet Of Things (IoT) are expanding into a multitude of new services. In the example of cloud processing for visual object detection, a camera is connected to the cloud via a local server and a data network, allowing the processing load to be handled in a distributed manner. This service model heavy taxes the data network with potentially unneeded traffic,...
Commodity HardWare (CHW) is currently used in the Internet to deploy large data centers or small computing nodes. Moreover, CHW will be also used to deploy future telecommunication networks, thanks to the adoption of the forthcoming network softwarization paradigm. In this context, CHW machines can be put in Active Mode (AM) or in Sleep Mode (SM) several times per day, based on the traffic requirements...
There are many obstacles for wheelchair users outside. These items are not an issue for people without physical impairment, but are major obstacles for wheelchair users. Due to these obstacles, wheelchair users may feel anxiety besides familiar paths, leading to less desire to go outside. In this study, we propose a system for collecting social barrier-free information from the various sensors attached...
Smartphones have become the de-facto capture devices for everyday photography. Unlike traditional digital cameras, smartphones are versatile devices with auxiliary sensors, processing power, and networking capabilities. In this work, we harness the communication capabilities of smartphones and present a synchronous/co-ordinated multi-camera capture system. Synchronous capture is important for many...
In this work we analyze the complex trade-off between data transfer, computation time, and power consumption when a multi-stage data-intensive algorithm (in this case video stabilization) is split between a low power mobile device and high power cloud server. We evaluate design choices in terms of which intermediate representations should be transferred to the server and back to the mobile device,...
The exponential growth of mobile videos has enabled a variety of video crowdsourcing applications. However, existing crowdsourcing approaches require all video files to be uploaded, wasting a large amount of bandwidth since not all crowdsourced videos are useful. Moreover, it is difficult for applications to find desired videos based on user-generated annotations, which can be inaccurate or miss important...
A network of drone cameras can be deployed to cover live events, such as high-action sports game played on a large field, but managing networked drone cameras in real-time is challenging. Distributed approaches yield suboptimal solutions from lack of coordination but coordination with a centralized controller incurs round-trip latencies of several hundreds of milliseconds over a wireless channel....
