+ | The goal of this project is to modify York University’s patented attentive sensor technology to the sport video recording market. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general problem is to use attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to visually detect and track multiple moving agents (e.g., skiers, riders, horses) and to select specific agents for active high-resolution smooth pursuit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student will work with senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research scientists to help modify the attentive sensing technology to operate in these domains. | ||

+ | such as Arduino. | ||
- | The components are various Unix executables and LISP programs that need to interact in complex ways. The components may be residing in different servers in different universities. Currently integration is performed manually, at the expense of usability. Thus, we aim at constructing a module that: (a) integrates involved components to deliver output in one call, (b) exports a unique web interface (preferably following WSDL/SOAP) to be easily accessed by custom front-end tools by anyone, anywhere, (c ) offers a simple front-end for human users. | + | **Project Description:** |

- | **Description**: | + | ======Real-Time Bidding Platform====== |
- | navigation systems. A typical pointer has a tracked target on one | + | |
- | end and a sharp or ball tip on the other end. Finding the location | + | |
- | of the tip relative to the target is a calibration problem. One | + | |
- | solution to the calibration problem involves pivoting the pointer | + | |
- | about the tip while tracking the target; if the tip is kept | + | |
- | stationary, then the target moves on the surface of a sphere. | + | |
- | Fitting the tracking data to the surface of a sphere yields the | + | |
- | location of the tip as the sphere center. Unfortunately, | + | |
- | calibrated tip position obtained using such a spherical calibration | + | |
- | has high variance. This project will investigate how much variance | + | |
- | there is in the calibrated tip position, and methods for reducing | + | |
- | the variance of the calibrated tip position. | + | |
