This paper presents a smart home environment platform for assisting people with physical disabilities. Four modules are included in the platform that enable end users of the system to complete everyday activities without additional assistance. 3D cameras are used to capture facial landmarks and expressions in order to map the user intent into a specific action in the smart home environment. Actuators are triggered to complete actions based on the detected and mapped facial expressions. The system is targeted at users that suffer from motor disabilities and are unable to use their hands and feet to control the surrounding environment.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115233843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The search methods used in our paper are: Conventional Grid Search, Randomized Grid Search and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). In a Conventional Grid Search on a data set all possible combinations of parameter values are evaluated and the best combination is retained. Randomized Grid Search realizes a randomized search over parameters, where each setting is sampled from a distribution over possible parameter values. An important benefit of this is that adding parameters that do not influence the performance does not decrease efficiency. GAs represent a successful method used to solve complex optimization problems. In this paper, we will use GAs to tune the optimal parameters which are required for different classification models. The paper proposes to compare the results achieved using these three methods of searching parameters for three classification models: Decision Trees, Random Forests and k-Nearest-Neighbors.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124682412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A platform of this kind would become the main reason for the environment to be a `smart' one and for more people to understand the value of such an environment. In this paper we investigate the need of a global and generic platform able to work with many type of datasets, with various systems and to serve different `Smart cities' applications.

Such environments are not feasible without correctly identifying states and activities of the persons receiving the care. They rely on the interaction and processing of data originating from many components and objects in the surrounding. In order to collect the data, various sensors are used to monitor the environment, as well as the person's health parameters. One of the main concerns in AAL is preservation of user's privacy. In this paper we address that by proposing a non-intrusive approach for data collection and identification of daily activity and risks. We describe the wiring of such system based on cheap non-intrusive sensors, deployment in a real environment, the protocols for data fusion and processing, and explain how machine learning could be employed for detecting risks and activities. The main contribution of this paper is development of non-intrusive sensor kits that can be easily deployed in real-life environments and are capable of collecting data that can reliable detect activities and risk.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133174833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-Global Matching (SGM) algorithm is among the best stereo solutions, capable of producing reliable results at reasonable cost. Census transform is generally preferred as a cost metric due to its robustness and invariance to lighting conditions. This paper proposes an original methodology for finding both the optimal Census mask and the best values for the penalties P1 and P2 in SGM by using genetic algorithms (GA). The obtained census masks are thoroughly analyzed and the best ones can be combined in a weighted center-symmetric census to increase the performance of SGM. Kitti test cases show that our GA-based censuses as well as our novel weighted center-symmetric census outperform dense, sparse and center-symmetric counterparts for Census only and SGM.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133572952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a complete description of the scene has many uses in the field of automated driving such as dynamic traffic object detection or infrastructure element detection. Estimation of the structure and motion of each scene element is a difficult problem because of the large number of unknowns that need to be assessed. In order to increase the accuracy and the robustness of the estimation, we propose to extend the piecewise rigid scene model used in modern state of the art scene flow algorithms with a global motion prior that presumes that a large number of objects in the scene are static. For obtaining the scene flow result, we proposed a two-step iterative approach: A Nelder-Mead nonlinear minimization accompanied by a spatial propagation of current best estimation to neighboring image regions.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116687612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is non-intrusive and completely transparent to the user. The developed monitor technique is able to overcome the need of relying on direct assistance or diary-based self-monitoring. The proposed solution exploits a depth and RGB camera placed on the ceiling, in top-down view. Starting from the depth information, an adapted version of the Self-Organized Map algorithm is applied to a defined skeleton model, to track the person's movements. The RGB stream is used to recognize specific elements located on the table during eating-related activities, such as glasses. The fusion of these processed data leads to the identification of specific intake behaviours. The system performances have been successfully tested with healthy volunteers of different age and height; the results are promising and confirm the system capacity to recognize the intake activity.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115133652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
