The paper presents a prototype of a system which can be used as a therapeutic and educational tool for children with developmental problems. Natural body movements and gestures are used in the system to interact with virtual objects displayed on the screen. Nowadays such systems can be easily built with the use of widely available free software tools for both graphical and vision applications. Such...
The paper overviews a vision-based technique that can be instrumental in assisting visually impaired humans in their activities. This category includes both blind people and individuals unable (e.g. due to neural disabilities) to understand semantics of the perceived visual data. Alternatively, the technique can be used as a tool for autonomous agents (e.g. mobile robots) performing in complex environments...
Remote patient monitoring can improve the quality of life of elderly and impaired people, while reducing the costs. Among the most interesting technologies being investigated, computer vision has proved to be very effective in several important scenarios in which conventional sensors fail or are impractical. We propose a computer vision-based wireless sensor system for people remote tracking and monitoring...
Gesture recognition has been extensively investigated and has traditionally been accomplished by methods based on computer vision. In this paper we present an hand gesture recognition system which is of general use and can be used for different applications. The system is based on a MEMS accelerometer and it is able to recognise several gestures which have been previously recorded into a suitable...
Automatic traffic monitoring and surveillance have become essential for effective road usage and management. Various sensors have been used to estimate traffic parameters, but their installation and maintenance is often difficult and costly. Among the technologies being investigated, computer vision promises the most flexible and reliable solutions to estimate traffic parameters. This paper proposes...
