Computer vision for assistive technologies
In the last decades there has been a tremendous increase in demand for Assistive Technologies (AT) useful to overcome functional limitations of individuals and to improve their quality of life. As a consequence, different research papers addressing the development of assistive technologies have appeared into the literature pushing the need to organize and categorize them taking into account the...
متن کاملGaze-based Assistive Technologies
The eyes play an important role both in perception and communication. Technical interfaces that make use of their versatility can bring significant improvements to those, who are unable to speak or to handle selection tasks elsewise, e.g. with their hands, feet, noses or tools handled with the mouth. Using the eyes to enter texts into a computer system, which is called gaze-typing, is the most ...
متن کاملNew and Emerging Technologies in Assistive Robotics
Robot therapy, which uses robots as substitution for animals in “animal therapy,” is a new application of the robots in welfare and medical fields. The seal robot named PARO has been developed especially for the robot therapy since 1993. PARO was commercialize in Japan in 2005 and in Europe and the US in 2009, and has been used at hospitals and facilities in about 30 countries. Recent researche...
متن کاملThe impact of a video intervention on the use of low vision assistive devices.
PURPOSE An image-enhanced educational and motivational video was developed for patients with low vision and their caretakers. Impact on knowledge, self-efficacy, and attitudes was assessed. METHODS The video incorporated cognitive restructuring to change emotional response; a "virtual home"; a veridical simulation of vision with age-related macular degeneration and contrast enhancement of the...
متن کاملOntologizing Metadata for Assistive Technologies
This paper discusses the design challenges encountered when building an ontology repository for an application framework devoted to assistive technologies that can be browsed and queried in a highly heterogeneous and expressive way. As a main vehicle to achieve this goal we propose to use metadata and meta-reasoning. We analyze how metadata can be used in the context of open repositories of ont...
