Getting Real with Ubiquitous Computing: the Impact of Discrepancies on Collaboration

Nicolas Nova

Ubiquitous computing is still a maturing field of investigation. The vision of the seamless integration of computers to people’s life has yet to happen, if it ever has to become a reality. Nowadays, most mobile, distributed systems and sensor technologies ...

Advanced Mixed Reality Technologies for Surveillance and Risk Prevention Applications

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

We present a system that exploits advanced Mixed and Virtual Reality technologies to create a surveillance and security system that could be also extended to define emergency prevention plans in crowdy environments. Surveillance cameras are carried by a mi ...

An all-in-one solution to geometric and photometric calibration

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Julien Pilet, Pascal Lagger, Andreas Geiger

We propose a fully automated approach to calibrating multiple cameras whose fields of view may not all overlap. Our technique only requires waving an arbitrary textured planar pattern in front of the cameras, which is the only manual intervention that is r ...

Sensing reality and communicating bits: A dangerous liaison

Martin Vetterli, Michael Christoph Gastpar, Pier Luigi Dragotti

The successful design of sensor network architectures depends crucially on the structure of the sampling, observation, and communication processes. One of the most fundamental questions concerns the sufficiency of discrete approximations in time, space, an ...
