This paper presents a video summarization technique for an Internet video to provide a quick way to overview its content. This is a challenging problem because finding important or informative parts of the original video ...
We propose ReMagicMirror, a system to help people learn actions (e.g., martial arts, dances). We first capture the motions of a teacher performing the action to learn, using two RGB-D cameras. Next, we fit a parametric ...
In this paper, we propose an extension of smartphones with a wearable input/output interface with floor projection (WIIFP). WIIFP has advantages in comparison with smartphones. First, WIIFP allows the user to access ...
We propose a new imaging method that achieves an ultra-shallow depth of field (DoF) to clearly visualize a particular depth in a 3-D scene. The key optical device consists of a pair of faced paraboloidal mirrors with holes ...
The proliferation of off-the-shelf head-mounted displays (HMDs) let end-users enjoy virtual reality applications, some of which render a real-world scene using a novel view synthesis (NVS) technique. View-dependent texture ...
3D models of outdoor environments have been used for several applications such as a virtual earth system and a vision-based vehicle safety system. 3D data for constructing such 3D models are often measured by an on-vehicle ...
Service discovery is an essential component for applications in vehicular communication systems. While there have been numerous service discovery protocols dedicated to a local network, mobile ad-hoc networks and the ...
To search the contents through WWW in consideration of user's circumstance condition, search engines should make use of some information such as current time, user's location, user's schedule and so on. We propose an ...
The total solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 was the longest that of the 21st century, many astronomy shows were held in Asia. To transmit this valuable moment to a distant area with enough liveliness, we considered a mechanism ...
There are various kinds of learning systems in the world and quite a lot of them are using video sources. Also, those video sources have many kinds according to the content of learning and aim. In this paper, I'd like to ...
Publish/Subscribe mechanism is one of key technologies for handling real-time data stream in decentralized environments. While recent studies have showed that publish/subscribe systems should support not only data filtering ...
In emerging vehicular communication systems, each vehicle periodically broadcasts safety messages, which contains various vehicle parameters such as location and velocity. While safety messages are designed for advanced ...
Exchanging traffic information among nearby vehicles is one of the communication scenarios in the field of intelligent transport systems (ITS). An important question in this scenario is ”How can traffic information be ...
The cloud computing paradigm is now widely used thanks to its scalable on-demand resource management techniques. Since one of the most important challenges of cloud computing services is to stably provide their consumers ...
There are some cases regarding information propagation over a wide area, such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications, in which an end-to-end path does not exist, due to the non-uniform density of vehicles. In order to ...
In this paper, we propose a simulator for facilitating reliable and inexpensive development of ubiquitous applications where each application software controls a lot of information appliances based on the state of external ...
In this paper, we propose a framework named ``UbiREMOTE'' for controlling information appliances connected to a home network with a unified and intuitive user interface from a remote place.The UbiREMOTE framework provides ...
In this paper, we propose a method to deliver video for multiple wireless mobile users with different quality requirements. In the proposed method, we assume several proxies and wireless access points in the network. There ...
Estimation of the qualities of overlay links is useful for optimizing overlay networks on the Internet. Existing estimation methods requires sending large quantities of probe packets between two nodes, and the software for ...
