In most of the existing human-computer interfaces, enactive knowledge as new natural interaction paradigm has not been fully exploited yet. Recent technological advances have created the possibility to enhance naturally and significantly the interface perception by means of visual inputs, the so-called Vision-Based Interfaces (VBI). In the present paper, we explore the recovery of the user’s bo...

Mobile technologies are becoming ubiquitous in education, yet the wider implications of this phenomenon are not well understood. The paper discusses how mobile lifelong learning (mLLL) may be defined, and the challenges of forging a suitable definition in an evershifting technological and socio-economic landscape. mLLL appears as a ubiquitous concept that puts together mobile learning, essentia...

The notion of ‘integration’ in the context of health information systems is ill-defi ned yet in widespread use. We identify a variety of meanings ranging from the purely technical integration of information systems to the integration of services. This ambiguity (or interpretive fl exibility), we argue, is inherent rather than accidental: it is a necessary prerequisite for mobilizing political a...

Technological advances offer new paradigms for training, allowing novel forms of teaching and learning to be devised; unfortunately, however, many e-learning systems are still based on complex procedures and unusable interfaces, which are regarded as intimidating, confusing or simply frustrating by the user. In this paper we consider the possibility of exploiting vision and speech as intuitive ...

Object detection, as of one the most fundamental and challenging problems in computer vision, has received great attention recent years. Over past two decades, we have seen a rapid technological evolution object detection its profound impact on entire vision field. If consider today’s technique revolution driven by deep learning, then, back 1990s, would see ingenious thinking long-term perspect...

Traditionally, cancer therapy has relied on surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. In recent years, these interventions have become increasingly replaced or complemented by more targeted approaches that are informed by a deeper understanding of the underlying biology. Still, the implementation of fully rational patient-specific drug design appears to be years away. Here, we present a vis...

In any technological field, both short-term and longterm research can be aided by considering where that technology might be ten, twenty, fifty years down the pike. In the field of natural language interactive systems, a 21 year vision is particularly apt to consider, since it brings us to the year 2001. One wellknown vision [I] of 2001 includes the famous computer named Hal one offspring, so t...

A "smart camera" is basically a video camera coupled to a computer vision system in a tiny package. This communication begins stating the main differences between smart cameras and standard smart vision systems. A smart camera architecture is described whereby a combination of an on-board microprocessor and PLD’s allow for the embedding of image processing algorithms in the camera. A static thr...

With the rapid technological advancement in vision systems, the advantages of vision based system as the sensing device have influenced the quality of the Robot Soccer game. This study presents an approach to produce a balanced image in terms of brightness under un-uniform lighting environment through the control of lens iris opening. Existing image processing module and CCD camera were used to...

For foresight to be useful to organizations, it must have seven dimensions. The first is that the journey is learning focused and not about particular forecasts or strategic targets. The journey is continuous, adaptive and narrative-based. Second, for organizations to transform, they must challenge their used future: practices they continue that do not match their desired vision. Third, since t...
