A Wearable Face Recognition System Built into a Smartwatch and the Visually Impaired User
Practitioners usually expect that real-time computer vision systems such as face recognition systems will require hardware components with high processing power. In this paper, we present a concept to show that it is technically possible to develop a simple real-time face recognition system in a wearable device with low processing power – in this case an assistive device for the visually impair...
متن کاملPervasive assistive technology for people with dementia: a UCD case
Smart mobile and wearable technology offers exciting opportunities to support people with dementia (PwD). Its ubiquity and popularity could even benefit user adoption - a great challenge for assistive technology (AT) for PwD that calls for user-centred design (UCD) methods. This study describes a user-centred approach to developing and testing AT based on off-the-shelf pervasive technologies. A...
متن کاملA Hybrid Detection and Classification System for Human Motion Analysis
This paper discusses a hybrid technique for detecting and tracking moving pedestrians in a video sequence. The technique comprises two sub-systems: an active contour model for detecting and tracking moving objects in the visual field, and an MLP neural network for classifying the moving objects being tracked as ‘human’ or ‘nonhuman’. The axis crossover vector method is used for translating the ...
