Smart(phone) Approaches to Mobile App Data Collection

Field evaluation of the smartphone-based travel behaviour data collection app “SmartMo”

This paper outlines an innovative approach to the evaluation of a self-administered smartphone-based survey for the collection of travel behaviour data. For this approach, a traditional travel survey is modified to match mobile devices. The smartphone application “SmartMo” is designed in a multi-stage iterative development process. It is then implemented and evaluated through a number of field ...

Duking It Out at the Smartphone Mobile App Mapping API

The recent introduction of the Apple iPhone 5 and the accompanying iOS6 software environment which, among other changes, replaced the use of the Google Maps API in iOS5 by Apple’s own Maps API, has led to significant changes in the user experience with apps that make use of maps and has resulted in closer scrutiny of mapping applications on mobile devices. Many of these changes in the user expe...

Active 3D Smartphone App

A novel method of creating a side-by-side 3D stereogram from the foreground of a 2D image was implemented. To achieve this, the pipeline implemented two step interactive GrabCut image segmentation, followed by recreating the object in 3D with a depth map, and finally rendering two images side by side with slightly different perspectives in front of an inpainted background to create a stereo pair.
