The Last-Seen Image: an Image-Based Approach for Finding Lost Objects Using a Head-Mounted Display
نویسنده
چکیده
Considering the current development of commercial head-mounted displays (HMD), it is likely that HMDs will be widely used in the near future. Therefore, it becomes feasible to build systems that rely on HMD technology. Real-world search engines aim at supporting the user’s search capabilities in the real world. HMDs are a possible device to guide a user towards the location of an object. To ensure a high usability, it is essential to find suitable location representations of search results on an HMD. Based on previous findings, we present a novel location representation called “last-seen image” to locate objects in a known environment (e.g. the user’s home or office building). The last-seen image shows the picture of a sought object including the surrounding context of the object. We implemented a prototype on an HMD using WiFi indoor positioning to provide the proposed visualization as well as a map visualization. We conducted a user study comparing our proposed last-seen image approach to a map based approach. The last-seen image showed to be significantly faster for finding harder hidden objects compared to the map representation. However, the map was favored for finding the correct room. Therefore, we propose a hybrid system using the map representation to find the correct room and using the last-seen image to find the object on room-level.

Metal Artifact Reduction of Dental Fillings in Head and Neck CT Images
Introduction: The issue of metal artifact and its reduction is as old as the clinical use of computed tomography itself. When metal objects such as dental fillings, hip prostheses or surgical clips are present in the computed tomography (CT) field of view (FOV), make severe artifacts that reduce the image quality and accuracy of CT numbers. They can lead to unreliable ...
متن کاملA PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER
In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Head-Mounted Displays and Their Effects on Simulator Sickness
OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of several display characteristics of head-mounted displays (HMDs) on simulator sickness (SS). BACKGROUND Technological limitations, such as display delay and reduced field of view (FOV), affect perception when using an HMD and are often thought to be related to SS. Few studies have examined the relationship between FOV and geometric FOV (image scale factor) ...
