Automatic indexing of consumer image collections using person recognition techniques
(IEEE, 2005-01-08)An evaluation of person recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. Prototype implementations of the automatic cataloging tool and user search tools are ... -
Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(IEEE, 2016)An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s imaging modules in digital cameras and ... -
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 ... -
Biometric technology and smartphones: a consideration of the practicalities of a broad adoption of biometrics and the likely impacts
(IEEE, 2016-04)The Widespread Global Adoption of Smartphones across all demographics and the rapid commoditization of the technology to the point at which an entry-level device can be sold profitably for less than US$100 suggest that we ... -
Biometrically auditable public key infrastructure technology for secure multimedia content
(IEEE, 2005-05-16)A system for signing and tracing the use of digital content based on biometrically generated key-pairs is described. The system is designed to protect the fair use rights of end-users and can be readily incorporated into ... -
Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia?[Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2013-04)Biometric systems confirm a person's identity by extracting and comparing patterns in their physical characteristics against computer records of those patterns. Examples include scans of the face, iris, or retina; measurements ... -
Broadening Our Horizons [Notes from the Editor]
(IEEE, 2014-04)As many of you will be aware,IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine evolved from the quarterly newsletter of the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society. Jim Farmer edited the newsletter before I took over from him during 2010. ... -
Browser-style interfaces to a home automation network
(IEEE, 1997)The design and implementation of a browser-style interface to a home automation network is described. The interface supports browsing and navigation of network devices and context structures and the user can ... -
CEBus network access via the world-wide-web
(IEEE, 1996)Several methods of providing access to CEBus networks using the World Wide Web are described. Details of a working demonstration system are given. The system software incorporates CGI-Bin scripts and Java applets ... -
Champions in our midst: the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
(IEEE, 2016-01)In this issue, we are very proud to introduce you to one of the best-known early pioneers of the computer industry. His work on the early Apple computers catalyzed today's home computer industry, and he participated directly ... -
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ... -
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2012-04)Cloud computing has emerged strongly into the consumer domain. As industry competes to gain market share from the rapidly growing multitudes of cloud-IT users, both network and data center infrastructures will grow more ... -
A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(IEEE, 2009-02-10)A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ... -
Comparison of radar-based microwave imaging algorithms applied to experimental breast phantoms
(Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale, 2017-08-19)Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the early detection of breast cancer. The two most important signal processing components of a radar-based microwave imaging system are the early-time artifact removal ... -
Connectivity solutions to link a bluetooth camera to the internet
(IEEE, 2001)Digital photography is gaining day by day more and more credibility over conventional photography due to a number of factors easy to guess. Bluetooth connectivity in the digital camera provides cordless communication with ... -
