Significance for science
The field of mobile applications represents one of the main potentials in information technology. Processing power and quality of imaging capabilities of mobile devices has been steadily increasing. Research in mobile computer vision has thus gained prominence, and there is an ever increasing number of research groups engaged in the problem of mobile vision. The work on the project has affirmed our group with the most pervasive groups in this area.
We were able to develop computer vision methods suitable for mobile devices, and use them to implement designed interaction scenarios in prototype applications.The use of computer vision makes for a very intuitive interaction with mobile device, greatly simplifying it. Prototype applications in addition to visual information use various other modes of sensory data, e.g. location (GPS) to shrink the space of possible object matches, and orientation data for controlling the interval of processing and thus the energy consumption. There are few comprehensive and complete implemented systems in existence, despite overall progress in the development of algorithms, and increased processing power. The rare ones are largely limited to interaction with well-defined image data, e.g. to identify text, faces, bar codes, or advertising boards. Our system promises stable operation even in case of free use in urban environments.
Enhancing HIP recognition with robust geometric identification and hierarchical processing represents an original scientific contribution, while the implemented demonstrators act as a solid basis for evaluating the possible ways of interaction.
Significance for the country
Given the development of mobile applications and the outstanding performance of some Slovenian companies in this field, research in the field of mobile computer vision is important both in terms of developing new user interfaces, as well as the general aspect of education and specialization of experts and knowledge transfer. In addition to development and economic effects, potential impact on society is also important, as modern mobile technology can greatly help to facilitate access to public information, and facilitate intelligent and sustainable use of public resources. In the context of environmental protection and sustainable development, for example, development of intelligent transport technologies, which use information systems optimize public transport is extremely important. Effective communication of information to participants in traffic is the priority strategy of managing traffic in urban environments, where the restrictive methods have proved unsuccessful and unpopular. In this direction, we have created a prototype mobile system for access to information on public transport, which locates the user through the user interface based on the interpretation of inertial sensors and live images. The system extends a set of potential users of public transport to groups that are uncomfortable or unable to use the menu selectors, since interaction is fully contactless, and intuitive. In addition, it opens up the possibility of popularizing and monetarising public transport.
The technologies developed in the project are being considered as enabling technologies for the new economy, which will base on mobility and ubiquity. They form a solid ground for the establishment of new high-tech companies, in accordance with the National Research and Development Plan and current vision of development in Slovenia.
