This work describes an automatic background-foreground detection for the purpose of further analysing of traffic. The aim of this project was to investigate and implement the background removal algorithm that uses Gaussian Mixture Model to perform robust background subtraction in real time. This kind of a system can recognize the moving objects in the video sequence using only camera. It finds ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for teaching JAVA, which can recognize the user's emotional state through facial expressions and textual dialogues. For facial emotion recognition we implemented a neural network with WEKA library and a facial feature extractor with OPENCV library. The ITS applies a semantic algorithm (ASEM) to extract tex...

Ubiquitous Computing is the idea of embedding computation onto everyday objects of the environment we live in. It’s the approach towards making technology and computation available everywhere thereby making people interact with abundant information around them in a more natural and friendly manner. Our project, the palm display system is one such approach of using one’s palm as the graphical us...

In this study, we developed an eye glance input interface using a camera to capture eye gaze input. Our previous studies [1][2] involved the development of an eye control input interface using an electrooculograph (EOG) amplified by AC coupling. Our proposed eye gesture input interface used a combination of eye movements and did not require the restriction of head movement, unlike conventional ...

Automobile theft is on the rise all over world these days. As a result, car owners are turning to an approach known as anti-theft security system prevent thieves from taking their vehicles. this concerned with design and implementation of that uses GSM technology automotive theft. We will demonstrate paradigm real-time can be easily constructed by around in project. A service microcontroller us...

Image organizers such as imgSeek and GIFT allow query by image content (QBIC). QBIC help users find duplicate and similar photos. However, the similarity is measured based on color, texture and shape, not in terms of people. We implemented a “query by face” feature for organizing personal digital photos, using face detection and recognition techniques. We used the OpenCV library to extract face...

We present a framework for representing image processing kernels based on decoupled access/execute metadata, which allow the programmer to specify both execution constraints and memory access pattern of a kernel. The framework performs source-to-source translation of kernels expressed in highlevel framework-specific C++ classes into low-level CUDA or OpenCL code with effective device-dependent ...

The goal of this project was to design the vision system onboard a PR2 robot tasked with navigating between floors in the ICICS X-Wing at UBC. The vision task includes the detection and localization of elevator buttons that must be pressed in order to ride the elevator to a desired floor. The system is implemented in ROS, the Robotic Operating System from Willow Garage, and executed on the PR2....
