We present a wireless prototype system for real-time snowboard training. This system can be used to detect common mistakes during snowboarding and to give students immediate feedback on how to correct their mistakes. The project illustrates new ways to assist students during sports training and to enhance their learning experience on the slope.

PROJECT GOALS SRI and U.C.Berkeley are developing hardware for a real-time implementation of spoken language systems (SLS). Our goal is to develop fast speech recognition algorithms and supporting hardware capable of recognizing continuous speech from a bigram or trigram based 10,000 word vocabulary or a 1,000 to 5,000 word SLS system. RECENT RESULTS The special-purpose system achieves its high...

Real-Time Whiteboard Capture System captures whiteboard lecture video in real time and extracts newly written pen strokes. Unlike other systems, it does not require special instruments such as electronic pen or whiteboard. The captured video images are classified into pen strokes on the whiteboard, foreground (person in front of the whiteboard) and Whiteboard Background Model (whiteboard withou...

In this demo we present a robust system for delivering real-time news recommendation to the user based on the user’s history of the past visits to the site, current user’s context and popularity of stories. Our system is running live providing real-time recommendations of news articles. The system handles overspecializing as we recommend categories as opposed to items, it implicitly uses collab...

In this work, the design of a low-cost, field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital hardware platform that implements image processing algorithms for real-time distance measurement is presented. Using embedded development kit (EDK) tools from Xilinx, the system is developed on a spartan3 / xc3s400, one of the common and low cost field programmable gate arrays from the Xilinx Spartan fami...
