Automated in-camera detection of flasheye defects
(IEEE, 2005)This paper examines the problem of performing automated real-time detection of flash eye defects (redeye) in the firmware of a digital camera. Several different algorithms are compared, timing and memory requirements ... -
PTP-IP a new transport specification for wireless photography
(IEEE, 2005)PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol ISO-15740) is an International Standard for connectivity and interface of digital photography devices. In this paper we describe how PTP can be extended to work over generic TCP/IP ... -
Techniques for securing multimedia content in consumer electronic appliances using biometric signatures
(IEEE, 2005)A system is described for CE appliances which employs a biometrically auditable public key infrastructure for securing multimedia content (BAPTISM). It is based on biometrically generated key-pairs and is designed to ... -
Towards semantically-interlinked online communities
(CEPIS Member Society, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática (ATI), 2005-12)Online community sites have replaced the traditional means of keeping a community informed via libraries and publishing. At present, online communities are islands that are not interlinked. Ontologies and Semantic Web ... -
Architecture of a PVR appliance with 'Long Tail' internet-TV capabilities
(IEEE, 2006)The design and implementation of a networked PVR appliance incorporating support for Internet-TV is described. The appliance incorporates support for the bittorrent protocol and employs user tools for content location, ... -
Managing Resources for Better Behaved Robots
(2006)This paper presents an architecture based on features of the QNX real-time operating system (RTOS) that translate directly into aspects of a behaviour-based robotic model.Significant research effort has been expended on ... -
Biometric access control for digital media streams in home networks
(IEEE, 2007)Methods for controlling access to digital media content in the home environment using biometric sensing techniques are described. A wireless rebroadcast system for IP-TV content was retrofitted with a combination of ... -
PTP/IP adapter design and connectivity techniques for legacy imaging appliances
(IEEE, 2007)PTP/IP is an emerging connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances. It combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ... -

Determining Unique Fingerprint Features for Biometric Encoding of Data
(2008)A novel approach to determining unique fingerprint features with high repeatibility is described. The techniques described are particularly suitable for CE applications and devices employing inexpensive capacitative ... -
Statistical models of appearance for eye tracking and eye-blink detection and measurement
(IEEE, 2008-08)A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to track and detect eye blinking. The model has been designed to be robust to variations of head pose or gaze. In particular we analyze and determine the model ... -
A URI is worth a thousand tags: From tagging to linked data with MOAT
(IGI Global, 2009)Although tagging is a widely accepted practice on the Social Web, it raises various issues like tags ambiguity and heterogeneity, as well as the lack of organization between tags. We believe that Semantic Web technologies ... -
An abstract framework for modeling argumentation in virtual communities
(IGI Global, 2009)Classic argumentative discussions can be found in a variety of domains from traditional scientific publishing to today’s modern social software. An interactive argumentative discussion usually consists of an initial ... -
A secure and efficient micropayment solution for online gaming
(2009)An innovative micropayment solution is proposed which incorporates both distributed security and social networking features. This has significant potential to impact on both the provision of new services and community ... -
On color texture normalization for active appearance models
(IEEE, 2009-05-12)The extension of the standard grayscale active appearance model (AAM) techniques to color images is investigated. Prior work in this field has mainly focused on RGB color models which did not demonstrate noticeable benefits ... -
Smart cameras: 2D affine models for determining subject facial expressions
(IEEE, 2010-07-15)In this paper we consider how next generation of smart cameras will move beyond face detection and tracking to develop more useful analysis tools for determining the expressions and emotions of the subjects in images. An ... -
A dual image processing pipeline camera with CE applications
(2011)The implementation of a dual image processing pipeline camera on a state-of-art FPGA system is described. This camera can simultaneously acquire dual images of a scene and process, analyze and merge both images to enable ... -
Integrating tagging into the web of data: Overview and combination of existing tag ontologies
(Taiwan Academic Network, 2011-07)As the number of social websites offering tagging facilities increases, tagging has become not only a common basis for user participation, but also an important aspect of social content. Tagging is primarily based on the ... -
Crowdsourcing, citizen sensing and sensor web technologies for public and environmental health surveillance and crisis management: trends, OGC standards and application examples
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-21)'Wikification of GIS by the masses' is a phrase-term first coined by Kamel Boulos in 2005, two years earlier than Goodchild's term 'Volunteered Geographic Information'. Six years later (2005-2011), OpenStreetMap and Google ... -
Real-Time Eye Gaze Tracking for Gaming Design and Consumer Electronics Systems
