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...
Embedded vision is the ability of an embedded system to take logical or intelligent decisions based on the images captured and processed by the system. Point-of-care diagnostics provide clinical diagnostic facilities to the patient at the site, thereby reducing time taken for diagnosis and enhancing the quality of treatment. The proposed system enables medical professional to interpret these point-of-care...
Smartphones have become the most convenient and ubiquitous interface for Internet services. They are equipped with a multitude of sensors that can significantly improve the user's cognitive ability. Face recognition is one of the fastest growing applications in mobile domains due to the wide range of potential uses. However, face recognition is a computation-intensive process and requires resources...
Real-time surveillance is a vital component in any situation or environment where there is a high need of security for both personal and commercial property and assets. Technology today is used in many different ways in order to provide us such surveillance. An ideal solution for surveillance involves not only the assortment of necessary sensors and devices using appropriate tools, but also should...
From a single SoC to a network of embedded devices communicating with a backend cloud-computing server, emerging classes of embedded systems feature an increasing number of heterogeneous components that operate concurrently in a distributed environment. As the scale and complexity of these systems continues to grow, there is a critical need for scalable and efficient simulators. We propose a networked...
The use of the Metaverses as a platform for human interaction is a trend that exists worldwide in the current web environment where participation and collaboration are the basis for generation of collective knowledge. This article is a review of the research that has been developed at the University of Panama for the use of Metaverse (virtual worlds) based on free software as virtual learning environments...
In order to fill the gap of high efficient image processing module in embedded video surveillance system, the open source computer vision library (OpenCV) is introduced in the procedure of video stream server processing which is based on Embedded ARM system to complete various function of computer vision, an example of motion object detection algorithm is used to demonstrate the plan is feasible and...
This paper shows the importance and benefit of coupling cloud computing with mobile especially due to power limitations that mobile devices exhibit. Moreover, the work done shows that mobile computing can be applied for educational purposes, where a tool for students termed Mobi4Ed is presented. This educational tool aims at exploiting the concept of cloud computing in the context of image and video...
The augmented-reality (AR) applications built using unmodified ARToolkit are limited in that the marker patterns and 3D models must be built into the applications themselves, and so are limited in number. We propose a solution to bypass this limitation by integrating ARToolkit with a 1-D barcode reader assisted by an Adaboosted classifier and accessibility to the internet. In this way, marker patterns...
Deep-sea visual exploration system plays an important role in the area of deep-sea expedition. Because of the harsh ocean environment, the deep-sea visual exploration system may face many problems such as high press of deep sea, instantaneous impact, deep-sea surge, local high temperature etc. Therefore, most current deep-sea visual exploration systems are not practicable. In this paper, considering...
