However, the limited resolution of the depth image has been hindering its further applications. To address this problem, we propose a novel dual sparsity model based single depth image super resolution algorithm, with a single low-resolution depth image as input. We formulate this problem by combining the recently developed analysis model and synthesis model exploiting the sparsity of analyzed vectors and the sparse coefficients respectively. The analysis operator and dictionaries are trained over extensive samples separately. We show that our model clearly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the widely used Middlebury 2007 datasets both quantitatively and visually.","PeriodicalId":388471,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116306077","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}

As communicating large amount of data could take tens of seconds over a slow wireless link, MPEG defined the CDVS standard to transfer over the network only the data essential to the matching, and not the entire image. However, the extraction of salient image features is a very time consuming process, and it may still require times in the order of seconds when running on CPU of modern mobile devices. To reduce feature extraction computation times, we re-design the MPEG-CDVS feature selection algorithm for highly parallel embedded GPUs. We consider two different approaches compliant to the standard. In the first one, feature selection is performed before the orientation assignment stage. In the second one, it is performed after. We present a complete experimental analysis on a large test set. Our experiments show that our GPU-based approaches are remarkably faster than the CPU-based reference implementation of the standard, while maintaining a comparable precision in terms of true and false positive rates. To sum up, our solutions have been proved to be effective for real-time applications running on modern embedded systems.","PeriodicalId":388471,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127518346","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 creation of a responsive store allows customers to connect the real world to their smart devices and will overcome the lack of ubiquity in public spaces; furthermore, from in-venue analytics and proximity sensor it is possible to customize the user experience. First of all we describe the whole sensor network. We go in deep into the active beacon technology adopted for this study. Then, thanks to the analytics, we present a data evaluation with the aim of determining the best sensor arrangement, according to several user tests. Beside the strong enhancement of human interaction, the results of our essay demonstrate how embedded localization systems could be a useful source for data collection beside the strong enhancement of human interaction.

Real-valued visual descriptors such as SIFT and SURF achieve state-of-the-art accuracy performance for a large set of visual analysis tasks. However, such algorithms are demanding in terms of computational capabilities and bandwidth, being unsuitable for scenarios where resources are constrained. In this context, binary descriptors provide an efficient alternative to real-valued descriptors, due to their low computational complexity, limited memory footprint and fast matching algorithms. In this paper, binary descriptors are used to perform visual tracking of an object along time. The proposed visual tracker performs descriptor matching between consecutive frames, applies filtering techniques to remove undesirable outliers and employs a suitable model to characterize the object appearance. In addition, techniques to code and transmit these description streams are employed, thus reducing the amount of data necessary to transmit to perform accurate object tracking. The efficiency of the proposed visual tracker is evaluated in terms of rate-accuracy, i.e. using the bitrate associated to the compressed binary descriptors and a quantitative metric to assess the accuracy of the visual tracker.","PeriodicalId":388471,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134286635","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}

Inspired by this, we exploit the special linear structure of epipolar plane image (EPI) and propose a novel framework for depth estimation for 4D LF. Our approach estimates disparities through locating the optimal slope of each line segmentation on EPIs, which are projected by corresponding scene points. For each pixel to be processed, we employ intensity pixel value, gradient pixel value, spatial consistency as well as reliability measure to select the best slope from a predefined set. The depth value is calculated according to the geometric relation between disparity and slope of line segmentation in EPI. Then a novel method to detect and handle occlusion boundaries is introduced, further improving the quality of depth maps. We test our algorithm on not only a number of synthetic LF examples but real-world LF datasets, and the experimental results show that our technique outperforms both the state-of-the art and the recent light field stereo matching methods, especially near occlusion boundaries.","PeriodicalId":388471,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114142366","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 framework takes into account the forgery maps, their reliability and the compatibility among the different traces considered by the tools.

In MMT, a simple object model is employed on the master side to approximate the remote environment. The haptic feedback is rendered locally on the master side based on model parameters which are estimated on the slave side. The main advantage of the MMT approach is that the haptic control loop is running locally which leads to stable behavior even in the presence of communication delays. The local model must be updated when the environment changes, or novel, previously unseen parts are encountered. During the model update, a sudden change of the model parameters leads to model-jump effects and results in unpredictable motion and force. A smooth and stable model update scheme is required to mitigate this effect. To guarantee system stability, we derive a passivity condition for a 3D spring-damper model during the model update phase. Energy generated due to the changes of the model parameters is dissipated through an adaptive damper element. The sampling effect of the haptic device is also taken into account. The performance of the proposed passivity-based model update (PMU) scheme is evaluated through simulations and subjective experiments. Evaluation results show that by using the PMU scheme, system stability during the model update phase is guaranteed. Moreover, subjects feel more comfortable with the model update if the PMU scheme is enabled.","PeriodicalId":388471,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114174390","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}
