We have developed a meeting recorder system which captures a panoramic video of a meeting room. Segmentation of people from this video is required for tracking and retrieval applications. However, the application scenario makes it difficult to rely on the usual solution of static background initialization and purely motion-based tracking for segmenting people. In this paper, we describe a novel...

This work presents the development of a surveillance system for monitoring wide area indoor spaces using multiple Kinect c � devices. The data from these sensors, configured with the widest possible coverage, is integrated into a single coordinate system using a novel calibration technique for nonoverlapping range sensors. Moving 3D pixels from each Kinect are transformed into a ”plan view” map...

We show how machine perception techniques can allow people to use their own bodies to control complex virtual representations in computer graphic worlds. In contrast to existing solutions for motion capture, tracking people for virtual avatars or intelligent interfaces requires processing at multiple levels of resolution. We apply active perception techniques and use visual attention to track a...

Blindness is a term to describe conditions of people who have visual impairments. When visually impaired do an activity outside, he usually needs stick help them move. This study aims develop tracking that enable family member find the location blind when they are outside their home and can travel. GPS (Global Positioning System) technology allows get signal for its coordinates. wants blind, se...
