The Kinect sensor was introduced in November 2010 by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game system. The sensor unit is connected to a base with a motorized pivot. It was designed to be positioned above or below a video display and to track player body and hand movements in 3D space, which allows users to interact with the Xbox 360. The device contains a RGB camera, depth sensor, IR light source,...

Abstract Photogrammetric scanning can be employed for the digitization of underground spaces, example remote mapping, visualization, or training purposes. However, such a technique requires capturing many photos, which laborious and time-consuming. Previous research has demonstrated that acquisition time reduced by data with multiple lenses devices at same time. Therefore, this paper demonstrat...

A lack of dementia understanding can complicate caring for people living with this condition. Caregivers need to connect on an affective level better understand their unique needs. 360-degree video is a type virtual reality that allow one experience how it live dementia. This study utilized videos filmed from the point view enhance nursing students and practicing nurses’ empathy understanding. ...

In this paper, we present some novel methods and applications for audio and video signal processing for a multimodal environment of an assisted living smart space. This intelligent environment was developed during the 7th Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces eNTERFACE. It integrates automatic systems for audio and video-based monitoring and user tracking in the smart space. In the assisted ...

Conventional video cameras have limited elds of view that make them restrictive in a variety of vision applications. There are several ways to enhance the eld of view of an imaging system. However, the entire imaging system must have a single eeective viewpoint to enable the generation of pure perspective images from a sensed image. A new camera with a hemispherical eld of view is presented. Tw...

Existing software systems for visual exploration are limited in their capabilities in that they are only applicable to static omnidirectional images. We present a software system that has the capability to generate at video rate (30 Hz), a large number of perspective and panoramic video streams from a single omnidirectional video input, using no more than a PC. This permits a remote user to cre...
