Recent advances in video sensors, computer vision, graphics, mobile robotic systems, distributed computing, and high-speed computer networks have inspired a new generation of visualization and telepresence systems for Intelligent Transportation Applications. This paper focuses on the development of and experiments with a visualization and telepresence environment that together present an intera...

This study was undertaken to develop machine vision-based weed detection technology for outdoor natural lighting conditions. Supervised color image segmentation using a binary-coded genetic algorithm (GA) identifying a region in Hue-Saturation-Intensity (HSI) color space (GAHSI) for outdoor field weed sensing was successfully implemented. Images from two extreme intensity lighting conditions, t...

This paper introduces a new algorithm for the discrimination of moving object and moving shadow pixels in video sequences. The algorithm works in HSV space and is designed to be unaffected by scene type (indoor, outdoor), background type (plain, patterned, complex) or lighting conditions (direct sunlight, fluorescent lights, diffuse lighting). In order to operate successfully in both indoor and...

Abstract We present a new interaction space for wearables by inlaying interactive elements, in the form of buttons, into outdoor clothing, specifically jackets and coats. Interactive buttons, or iButtons, allow users to perform specific tasks using inconspicuous gesture...
