Augmented surfaces are a novel paradigm for supporting interaction, where information is coded on the surface of a physical object, from which it can be read and used for different purposes. We introduce a novel software architecture by which object producers and application designers can independently define the information to be added on surfaces, as well as computational activities to be started upon identification of a coding. Moreover, we also offer the possibility to the end user to choose to set the type of activities to launch as well as to select a specific activity when more than one is available.

Visual sensor networks offer surveillance applications, particularly object tracking. This study proposed an angle converge algorithm for mobile object to cover all angles of a mobile object in wireless camera sensor networks. This algorithm mainly applies to a security monitor system that can detect the object tracks and need to catch the 360° images of mobile object. This study designs a node selection algorithm to find a set of coverage nodes. The field of views of coverage nodes can cover all angles of mobile object. When the object moves, the set of coverage nodes has to update to maintain full coverage angle. We have to select the minimum number of nodes to cover full coverage angle. The wireless camera sensor network is random deployed in the monitor area environment. Each sensor node has rotational camera lens, and each camera can rotate 360 degrees. When a node detects a mobile object in the monitor area, it starts the tracking task and selects a set of coverage nodes to cover the mobile object. The field of view of camera is turned to follow the tracks of object. The mobile object is monitored by the proposed algorithm.

This paper reports the development and evaluation of a natural language generation system which generates a variety of language expressions from visual information taken by a CCD camera. The feature of this system is to generate a variety of language expressions from combinations of different syntactic structures and different sets of vocabulary, while managing the generation process based on the user-designated viewpoints. The system converts the visual information into a concept dependency structure using a semantic representation framework proposed by Takagi and Itoh. The system then transforms the structure and divides it into a set of words, deriving a word dependency structure, which is later arranged into a sentence. The transformation of a concept dependency structure and the variation in word segmentation allow the system to generate a variety of sentences from the same visual information. In this paper, we employ user-designated viewpoints to scenes containing more than one object. We designed the parameters of the user-designated viewpoints which enable the system to manage the generation process and to generate a variety of expressions. An evaluation has confirmed that the system generates certain variations according to parameter values set by the user. The variations include expressions referring to attribute values of the objects in the scenes and relative expressions denoting the relations between the targeted object and others.

The study focused on the autonomous feedback with brain entrainment, specifically involving an user-friendly interface to control brainwave entrainment by variation in cardiac autonomie function. In combination with generation of brainwave entrainment, the device would be capable of delivering relief from pressure for user. The platform included several key technologies, such that the device could use measured cardiac rhythmic variation to control a multi-channel oscillators to bring the brain to a specific entrainment state. The excitatory state of autonomie activity, which was reflected by the cardiac rhythmic variation, including the overall potential level of autonomie activity, the potential from the sympathetic branch, and the parasympathetic activity, could be used as biofeedback of body status and an evidence of interaction for more personalized adaptation. This platform could be embedded in beds, chairs, or even the floors to provide a realistic interactive experience.

This paper is about our research on user pathway prediction for being applied to a location aware system. In particular, we propose a prediction method based on an jV-gram model with Kneser-Ney smoothing (KNS), originally developed by other researchers for statistical language model smoothing, and introduce the use of the transition information of similar users into KNS. We then verify the performance of the proposed prediction method by comparing it with an existing prediction method and a prediction method based on KNS using all users' information. The comparison result reveals that the proposed method outperforms its counterparts on all performance metrics: precision, recall, F-measure, and CA.

User wandering behaviours may involve many location visits in different order. The research team has proposed an algorithm which can provide users recommendation for their next visit according to the similarity of their behaviours between each others and the connections amongst locations. In order to test the effectiveness of proposed algorithm the research team develops a mobile app - Next Stop Recommender - for Android platform. This paper focuses on the app itself and discusses the potential use of the app and the enhancement directions of the proposed algorithm.

Conventionally sleep is understood as an unconscious state in which human and animals are taking rest physically as well as physiologically. However, sleep has been suggested to serve for development and maintenance of the higher-order brain functions as well. Actually neuronal activities show peculiar dynamics to sleep state and some neurons become rather active during sleep than wakefulness. Associated with neuronal activities, molecular and cellular machinery are found to be involved for the functions of sleep. Considering unconsciousness during sleep, neurobiological events characterizing sleep seem to be autonomously regulated. But, are they? In this essay, the neurobiological phenomena during sleep and their possible contribution to the sleep functions are reviewed. In addition, it is examined whether these neurobiological events during unconscious state of sleep are causally regulated or not.

As part of the developing body of research about neural correlates of higher cognitive functions and awareness we have recently reported that the creation of knowledge and meaning could be manifested via Cortical Singularities. In this work we present new neurophysiological evidence of the hypothesized cognitive cycle in the emergence of awareness when a presumable meaningful stimuli is presented to an animal. This stimulus is manifested in the neocortex, as the creation of the knowledge necessary for intentional behavior and decision making. The results are interpreted through the concept of Pragmatic Information, which is complementary to the Shannon Entropy Index. We identify large-scale synchronization across broad frequency band as potential manifestation of the `aha' effect, indicating the construction of knowledge and meaning from input sensory data and leading to awareness experience.

In this paper, we investigate the use of HTTP streaming in home surveillance system. First, we propose a dynamic resource allocation framework among the cameras. Under a set of constraints, e.g. link bandwidth and delay, our resource allocation solution decides which video versions will be requested from which cameras in order to maximize the weighted sum of utility for all cameras. The optimization, which is performed at the client, is based on a utility model for each video stream that takes into account not only perceptual quality but also the delay of a video stream. Video content is obtained through HTTP request/response transaction between the client and the cameras. The experiment results show that the proposed method is able to effectively improve the overall utility while still supporting low end-to-end delay and good perceptual quality for important cameras.

Nowadays, emotion is leaded into a key position of human behavior clue, and hence it should be included within the sensible model when an intelligent system aims to simulate or forecast human responses. This research utilizes backpropagation one of neural network model to build the emotion detecting mechanism. This research integrates and manipulates the Thayer's emotion mode, Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and color theory into the backpropagation neural network model for an innovative emotion detecting system. This paper uses 100 data in four emotion groups to train the weight in the neural network and use 300 data to verify the accuracy in this system. The result reveals that backpropagation neural network can be effective estimation the emotion by feedback color from human. For the further research, colors will not the only human behavior clues, even more than all the factors from human interaction.
