In this paper, we propose a method of personal positioning for a wearable Augmented Reality
(AR) system that allows a user to freely move around indoors and outdoors. The user is …

This paper describes an embedded pedestrian navigation system composed of a self-contained
sensors, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and an active Radio Frequency …

We present a method of estimating the location and orientation of a pedestrian which
simultaneously recognizing his/her actions with a single low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU) …

In recent years, as smartphones have widely spread in the globe, it can be said that billions
of users are carrying with high performance computer being always powered on. Since most …

The wearable active camera/laser (WACL) allows the remote collaborators not only to
independently set their viewpoints into the wearer's workplace but also to point to real objects …

We propose a wearable active camera with laser pointer (WACL) as a human interface device
for use in telecommunications. The WACL laser pointer is attached to the active camera-…

This paper describes an algorithm to detect and track a hand in each image taken by a
wearable camera. We primarily use color information, however, instead of pre-defined skin-color …

In this paper, we describe an improved method of personal positioning and orientation using
image registration between input video frames and panoramic images captured beforehand…

Tracking locations of vehicles such as forklifts in warehouses and factories is crucial since it
contributes to the safety of personnel and the output performance of manufacturing and …

Annotation overlay on live video frames is an essential feature of augmented reality (AR), and
is a well-suited application for wearable computers. A novel method of annotation overlay …
