Mobile technologies are growing significantly in past few years. Many new features and enhancement have implemented in mobile technologies in both software and hardware aspects. Nowadays, cell phones are not just only use for making calls…
An increasing number of mobile applications share location-dependent information, from collaborative applications and social networks to location-based games. For such applications, peer-to-peer architectures where mobile devices share…
This paper presents a cooperative location-based game for the elderly with the use of tablets equipped with mobile application. The game was designed to tackle at once several crucial topics related to the issue of aging, namely the social…
The location determination in obstructed area can be very challenging especially if Global Positioning System are blocked. Users will find it difficult to navigate directly on-site in such condition, especially indoor car park lot or…
As computing technology becomes more pervasive, personal devices such as the PDA, cell-phone, and notebook should use context to determine how to act. Location is one form of context that can be used in many ways. We present a…
In this work we present a mobile application we designed and engineered to enable people to log their travels near and far, leave notes behind, and build a community around spaces in between destinations. Our design explores new ground for…
Do people care about their location privacy while using location-based service apps? This paper aims to answer this question and several other hypotheses through a survey, and review the privacy preservation techniques. Our results indicate…
Place recognition, the ability to identify previously visited locations, is critical for both biological navigation and autonomous systems. This review synthesizes findings from robotic systems, animal studies, and human research to explore…
Multicopter drones are becoming a key platform in several application domains, enabling precise on-the-spot sensing and/or actuation. We focus on the case where the drone must process the sensor data in order to decide, depending on the…
Bird strikes present a huge risk for aircraft, especially since traditional airport bird surveillance is mainly dependent on inefficient human observation. Computer vision based technology has been proposed to automatically detect birds,…
Citizen Science aims to engage people in research activities on important issues related to their well-being. Smart Cities aim to provide them with services that improve the quality of their life. Both concepts have seen significant growth…
This work introduces the one-shot learning paradigm in the computational bioacoustics domain. Even though, most of the related literature assumes availability of data characterizing the entire class dictionary of the problem at hand, that…
In this work we develop a novel insect-inspired model for visual point-goal navigation. This combines abstracted models of two insect brain structures that have been implicated, respectively, in associative learning and path integration. We…
Walking along trails in natural areas is a rewarding experience, but visitors sometimes need proper assistance to enhance their enjoyment, maximize learning, and ensure safety. Over the years, various signage techniques have been…
Over the past couple of years, the extent of the services provided on the mobile devices has increased rapidly. A special class of service among them is the Location Based Service(LBS) which depends on the geographical position of the user…
This paper will detail the basis of our previously developed predictive model for pigeon flight paths based on observations of the specific individual being predicted. We will then describe how this model can be adapted to predict the…
One of the elements that have popularized and facilitated the use of geographical information on a variety of computational applications has been the use of Web maps; this has opened new research challenges on different subjects, from…
Accurate localization in diverse environments is a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. The task involves determining a sensor's precise position and orientation, typically a camera, within a given space. Traditional…
Cities are becoming very congested. There is a need to reduce the number of private cars on the roads, by maximising the potential for local public transport. With the increasing awareness of transport that is sustainable in the sense of…
We implemented a system able to locate people indoor, with the purpose of providing assistive services. Such approach is particularly important for the Art, for providing information on exhibitions, art galleries and museums, and to allow…
