There are very few interfacing technologies to manipulate real-time behavior for operating computer systems. During a presentation, it is inconvenient to control the computer and simultaneously explain the topic. There are several alternatives like speech recognition, laser based gloves but these techniques are less portable and have less accuracy. Our system, interactive wall display, allows you...
We present an efficient open-source implementation of a novel video alignment algorithm, based on low dimensionality frame matching and the recently introduced ECC image registration algorithm.
Serial number is a unique number given to a product which can be used for product identification and inventory management. Information about the product may be its manufacturing date, expiry date, place of manufacture and so on. Some companies use serial numbers to keep track on the number of products which a retailer is authorized to sell. Thus serial number identification becomes an important part...
In this study, we present our implementation of using a motion controller to control the motion of a drone via simple human gestures. We have used the Leap as the motion controller and the Parrot AR DRONE 2.0 for this implementation. The Parrot AR DRONE is an off the shelf quad rotor having an on board Wi-Fi system. The AR DRONE is connected to the ground station via Wi-Fi and the Leap is connected...
This paper describes the development activity on a low cost high performance fruit grader employing distributed network architecture to interface the GigE machine vision camera and field IO devices. The fruits are transported over a dynamic conveyor and images are synchronously captured for frame analysis during triggered events. Geometrical features such as diameter, perimeter, area and circularity...
The diagnostic and control systems of large scale scientific experiments like particle accelerators, colliders or fusion reactors are in most cases complex distributed installations. They consist of thousands of various components which exchange large amount of data.
Traditionally, interaction techniques for virtual reality applications are implemented in a proprietary way on specific target platforms, e. g., requiring specific hardware, physics or rendering libraries, which withholds reusability and portability. Though hardware abstraction layers for numerous devices are provided by multiple virtual reality libraries, they are usually tightly bound to a particular...
This article presents and describes the implementation of an augmented reality system to assist in the task of warehouse inventory. The proposed system integrates an augmented reality engine (NyARToolkitCS) with a QR Code library. This integration enables users to capture product codes add the product's information to the view of the product itself. This article also presents the challenges for developing...
The research presented here is an attempt to use a very basic, low cost and non-specialized microcontroller for image processing tasks. The applications emanating from such an attempt will result in inexpensive face detection, intelligent motion sensors to low cost vehicle counting systems. We have been able to develop a system based on Microchip dsPIC microcontroller that implements edge detection...
Visual Sensor Networks (VSNs) enable enhanced three-dimensional sensing of spaces and objects, and facilitate collaborative reasoning to open up a new realm of vision-based distributed smart applications including security/surveillance, healthcare delivery, traffic monitoring, just to name a few. However, such applications require sensor nodes that can efficiently process large volumes of visual information...
