People with visual disabilities suffer environmentally, socially, and technologically. Navigating through places and recognizing objects are already a big challenge for them who require assistance. This study aimed to develop an android-based assistive application for the visually impaired. Specifically, the study aimed to create a system that could aid visually impaired individuals performs significant tasks through object recognition and identifying locations through GPS and Google Maps. In this study, the researchers used an android phone allowing a visually impaired individual to go from one place to another with the aid of the application. Google Maps is integrated to utilize GPS in identifying locations and giving distance directions and the system has a cloud server used for storing pinned locations. Furthermore, Haar-like features were used in object recognition.

In this paper, we implemented the pattern matching with the Arduino and App Inventor platform under the bluetooth mobile environment between Android phone and Arduino Platform. The combination between Arduino and App Inventor makes the feasibility of Android programming easy by wireless communications and provides the opportunity to broaden the functionality for mobile device. We used the softwares which were Arduino IDE, VC++, OpenCV, Processing and App Inventor. And also compared the performance of mobile Arduino platform with LabView GUI programming, we reduced the usage of libraries that compiled and executed the pattern matching programming. We experimented the mobile embedded platform performance under bluetooth communication and verified the functionality of the mobile Arduino platform design for identifying the pattern matching.

Offline-first strategy is that it allows data to be saved while offline, and when connected online, data is synchronized to ensure that all devices have the same data. Multi-device is a term that shares data through synchronization on various platforms on Android, ios, etc. First, all of the data is stored in the local repository like SQLite and then on the server via HTTP communication. Then, the synchronization is completed by receiving the changed data from the server and storing it in the local repository at the time of the synchronization, and sending the changes to the server from the client. We proposed and implemented a database structure, APIs, and a illustrative application running on PC and Android phone.

최근 몇 년간 무인항공기(UAV) 시장이 점차 커지면서 군뿐만 아니라 민간, 상업적으로도 무인항공기의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 무인항공기의 한 종류인 에어드론(AR.Drone)을 활용한 실시간 원격 쿼드로터(Quadrotor) 퓨전제어기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 아이폰(i-phone) 기반의 제어기법이 아닌, 안드로이드(Android) 기반의 퓨전제어기법을 통하여 에어드론을 실시간으로 원격조정가능하게 했는데, 이는 아이폰 App 개발 시 제공되는 API와 PC 기반의 쿼드로터 제어기법을 퓨전하는 방식으로 쿼드로터의 비행제어와 영상처리를 분리시켜 기존의 방식보다 영상처리 속도를 향상시키는 방식이다. 그리고 제안된 퓨전제어기법의 우수성을 보여주기 위해, 기존의 방식들과 영상처리 속도를 비교분석하였다.

Diabetes is a chronic disease which may lead to other life threatening health complications like heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease that diminished quality of life. In order to assists diabetic patients, we develop a smartphone application to monitor the regular medicine intake and exercise routines through repetitive user friendly and motivational reminders. Health-practitioners including doctors and nurses can frequently view and analyze the daily routine of patients through a web-interface. This paper presents architecture to improve the quality of life with android smart phone as user terminal, and integration of webbased application through web services for health care professionals. We also explain how each of the application interacts with each other and internal integration.

The present study aims to develop a real-time surface image velocimeter (SIV) using an Android smartphone. It can measure river surface velocity by using its built-in sensors and processors. At first the SIV system figures out the location of the site using the GPS of the phone. It also measures the angles (pitch and roll) of the device by using its orientation sensors to determine the coordinate transform from the real world coordinates to image coordinates. The only parameter to be entered is the height of the phone from the water surface. After setting, the camera of the phone takes a series of images. With the help of OpenCV, and open source computer vision library, we split the frames of the video and analyzed the image frames to get the water surface velocity field. The image processing algorithm, similar to the traditional STIV (Spatio-Temporal Image Velocimeter), was based on a correlation analysis of spatio-temporal images. The SIV system can measure instantaneous velocity field (1 second averaged velocity field) once every 11 seconds. Averaging this instantaneous velocity measurement for sufficient amount of time, we can get an average velocity field. A series of tests performed in an experimental flume showed that the measurement system developed was greatly effective and convenient. The measured results by the system showed a maximum error of 13.9 % and average error less than 10 %, when we compared with the measurements by a traditional propeller velocimeter.

Recently mobile users can access to internet using smart phone at any place and any time, through which they can search and share information. In addition, as the sensors with high-tech functions become cheaper and miniaturized along with the development of MEMS (micro-electo mechanical systems) technology, the extent to utilize smart phone is increasing. Smart phone is equipped with various sensors such as high-resolution camera, GPS, gyroscope and magnetic sensor, which is an appropriate system configuration for remote monitoring research using camera. The remote monitoring system requires camera for video and internet network to send video, for which it has a limitation that it is influenced by the monitoring location. This study is aimed to design and develop the monitoring app. which can be remotely monitored using smart phone technology. The developed monitoring app was designed to take images of ROI (region of interest) within the specified time and to automatically send the images to the server. The developed app. is also possible to be remotely controlled by SMS (short message service). The monitoring proposed in this study can take high-resolution images using CMOS built in the smart phone and send the images and information to the server automatically at any place and any time using 3G and Wi-Fi networks.
