Visual Communication Today Same image, but different messages Figure by M. Dorr, INB
Itap Idea • The scan-path and the active component of vision should become part of visual communication systems. • Therefore, the scan-path must be sensed, processed, and displayed • Remote, user-friendly tracking one major challenge
Applications Vision-based communications systems will be defined not only by brightness and color, but will be augmented with a recommendation of what to see, of how to view the images “COGAIN” Augmented-vision systems Attention is directed towards objects or features that have been detected by a computer-vision system
Intelligent airbags • Problems: • Deployment with kids and OoP (harm) • Useless deployment (cost) Solution: video-based control OoP: Out of Position
