The emerging technologies in IoT unveils various devices for the convenience of users, but comes with the price of streaming and processing a large amount of data for delivering useful and presentable results. Especially the multimedia content can be estimated as the most expensive to compute and distribute in IoT environments due to the data size and complexity of algorithms. This may cause bottlenecks...
Although people think that their identity is not revealed on the internet, the confidentiality and protection of personal information on unreliable networks such as the internet is an important question. In this study, a sample application on network packet tracing and analysis of network cameras with Wireshark program is realized to show how partial access to personal information and location information...
Recently, as elderly people population grows, the burdens on caretakers are getting larger. In daycare centers, caretakers make a daycare report aiming to improve the senior citizen's Quality of Life. However, in the present situation, it is difficult for caretakers to record the senior citizen's activity in detail, since each caretaker needs to take care of several senior citizens at the same time...
Augmented Reality (AR) introduces vast opportunities to the industry in terms of time and therefore cost reduction when utilized in various tasks. The biggest obstacle for a comprehensive deployment of mobile AR is that current devices still leave much to be desired concerning computational and graphical performance. To improve this situation in this paper we introduce an AR Edge Computing architecture...
“The true sign of knowledge is not intelligence but imagination”-Albert Einstein. One of the most common and noticeable accidents is bomb blast which takes away the lives of millions of people. The major percentage of death rate which has occurred due to the bomb blasts is in the period of 1996–1998 with a death toll of nearly 2500. Our proposed system (lavie enregistrer) aims at providing security...
Family security is one of the key goals of a digital home system. At present, webcams are widely used in home remote monitoring systems. This is due to the fact that its passive monitoring nature leaves a potential security problem and cannot be used for providing proactive security. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the design of a remote embedded intelligent security monitoring system based...
In this paper, we propose a method to share dynamic contents such as short video clips created by vehicles' mounted cameras. In these days, many vehicles are equipped with driving recorders and other sensors to detect surrounding situations. Such cameras and sensors can work as real-time monitors of traffic conditions and other dynamic environments such as road situations. Such information should...
Today a lot of digital evidences for crime investigation includes a geospatial component. This data comes from various sources such as smartphones, tablets, navigation systems, digital camera with global positioning system (GPS), etc. The geospatial data plays a crucial role in crime investigation such as helping to tracking suspects, profiling serial offenders, recognizing trends in criminal activities,...
We present a multi-target tracking system for estimating the position of multiple soccer players as they move around during a soccer game. Our system relies on silhouette observations recorded by a static camera, and utilises 3D models and particle filter methods to estimate athlete positions. Tracking parameters can be adapted in order to tip the scales towards precision or performance. We present...
Today storage is the worst bottleneck for video surveillance systems, which are integral part of any institution. We trust our privacy and security to Network Video Recording (NVR) devices, which is programmed to overwrite all the way from start once finished up. There are chances that really important video data can be get deleted on the run while the less important still stays somewhere on the storage...
This paper describes biometric liveness establishment in support of server-side authentication computation on user face data, as captured on client-side apparatus, via a bidirectional user-to-server challenge-response interaction. We propose for server-side issue of a random challenge, with the user undertaking verbal delivery of the response into aforesaid capture apparatus. This spoken input is...
Parking-management systems, including services that recognize vacant stalls, can play a valuable role in reducing traffic and energy waste in large cities. Visual methods for detecting vacant parking spots are cost-effective options since they can take advantage of the cameras already available in many parking lots. However, visual-detection methods can be fragile and not easily generalizable. In...
When customers visit a book store and they find a book that get their interest, they must want to know the content of the book. They do that because they need to know if the book contain the needs information or not. But in reality, almost all of the book that saled on the book store are sealed. This condition usually make customers cancel their payment for the book. Even if there are any information...
In this paper, a complete indoor navigation assistance system for visually impaired people is introduced. Different multimedia technologies are integrated in a single system in order to provide a precise, safe and friendly navigation service. First, the environment is modeled and represented. After that, the user location is determined by combining Wi-Fi and vision information. This combination offers...
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the connections of billions of devices to the Internet. It is thus very important to effectively manage this huge amount of devices. Among many available device management protocols, Open Mobile Alliance Lightweight M2M (OMA LWM2M) has been adopted by the global M2M standards, ETSI M2M and oneM2M as the standard for device management. However, OMA LWM2M-supported...
This paper presents a computer vision based system for interaction between multiple humans and multiple robots. Each human can “select” (obtain the undivided attention of) a robot by simply looking directly at it. This extends previous work whereby a single human can select one or more robots from a population. Each robot optimally assigns human identities to tracked faces in its camera view using...
Tracking semantic relations among spatial objects is an essential issue in project-camera based interactive environments in order to find the most suitable surface to display projected screen. This paper presents a design and implementation of a spatial context management system that continuously tracks semantic relation among spatial objects for providing situation-aware services in project-camera...
In this paper, we consider combinations of transmission schemes for each media in MVV-A (Multi-View Video and Audio) IP transmission when the total bitrate of transmitted audiovisual streams is regulated. We employ two types of transmission schemes: single stream transmission and all streams simultaneous transmission. We assess QoE of the four combinations of the transmission schemes by a subjective...
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...
Data centers are extremely important facilities that contain core business information and applications, but the energy consumption is an inevitable issue, so the thermal distribution monitoring is critical for data centers reliable and stable operation. Thermal information enables monitoring and autonomic thermal management in large data centers. Recent approaches that employed a mobile robot or...
