A Wearable Mobile Sensor Platform to Assist Fruit Grading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wearable computing is a form of ubiquitous computing that offers flexible and useful tools for users. Specifically, glove-based systems have been used in the last 30 years in a variety of applications, but mostly focusing on sensing people's attributes, such as finger bending and heart rate. In contrast, we propose in this work a novel flexible and reconfigurable instrumentation platform in the form of a glove, which can be used to analyze and measure attributes of fruits by just pointing or touching them with the proposed glove. An architecture for such a platform is designed and its application for intuitive fruit grading is also presented, including experimental results for several fruits.

Positioning service is one of Wireless Sensor Networks’ (WSNs) fundamental services. The accurate position of the sensor nodes plays a vital role in many applications of WSNs. In this paper, a 3D positioning algorithm is being proposed, using mobile anchor node to assist sensor nodes in order to estimate their positions in a 3D geospatial environment. However, mobile anchor node’s 3D path optim...
متن کاملA Practical Platform for Combining Sensor-measurement from Body Sensor Networks with Flexible Human-provided Tagging
Recent developments in wearable sensor technologies allow for collecting various information about the person in different conditions. This data is often of limited use without proper interpretation provided by human experts. We propose a practical platform that collects long-term data from multiple body and ambient sensors along with humanprovided tagging in practical and mobile conditions. We...

Remote surveillance and reconnaissance applications can be greatly facilitated through the use of a small semi-autonomous robotic sensor platform. A human operator equipped with a wearable computer interface can direct a small mobile robotic platform into a dangerous or difficult to reach area and gather information from within. Sensor information is returned to the human through a head-mounted...

To recognize a context of a user, it is important to know a physical condition of the user and a status of his/her surrounding environment. For example, to maintain a healthcare condition of an elderly person, his/her care workers require monitoring not only his/her physiological conditions but also physical statuses of his/her surroundings, such as room temperatures. However, most approaches t...
