Resource-efficient hardware implementation of a neural-based node for automatic fingerprint classification

2017

Modern mobile communication networks and Internet of Things are paving the way to ubiquitous and mobile computing. On the other hand, several new computing paradigms, such as edge computing, demand for high computational capabilities on specific network nodes. Ubiquitous environments require a large number of distributed user identification nodes enabling a secure platform for resources, services and information management. Biometric systems represent a useful option to the typical identification systems. An accurate automatic fingerprint classification module provides a valuable indexing scheme that allows for effective matching in large fingerprint databases. In this work, an efficient em…

Child–display interaction:Lessons learned on touchless avatar-based large display interfaces

2020

AbstractDuring the last decade, touchless gestural interfaces have been widely studied as one of the most promising interaction paradigms in the context of pervasive displays. In particular, avatars and silhouettes have proved to be effective in making the touchless capacity of displays self-evident. In this paper, we focus on a child–display interaction approach to avatar-based touchless gestural interfaces. We believe that large displays offer an opportunity to stimulate children’s experiences and engagement; for instance, learning about art is very engaging for children but can bring a number of challenges. Our study aims to contribute to the literature on both pervasive displays and chi…

Designing Touchless Gestural Interactions for Public Displays In-the-Wild

2015

Public displays, typically equipped with touchscreens, are used for interactions in public spaces, such as streets or fairs. Currently low-cost visual sensing technologies, such as Kinect-like devices and high quality cameras, allow to easily implement touchless interfaces. Nevertheless, the arising interactions have not yet been fully investigated for public displays in-the-wild (i.e. in appropriate social contexts where public displays are typically deployed). Different audiences, cultures and social settings strongly affect users and their interactions. Besides gestures for public displays must be guessable to be easy to use for a wide audience. Issues like these could be solved with use…

Child-display interaction: Exploring avatar-based touchless gestural interfaces

2019

During the last decade, touchless gestural interfaces have been widely studied as one of the most promising interaction paradigms in the context of pervasive displays. In particular, avatars and silhouettes have been proved to be effective in communicating the touchless gestural interactivity supported by displays. In the paper, we take a child-display interaction perspective by exploring avatar-based touchless gestural interfaces. We believe that large displays offer an opportunity to stimulate child experience and engagement, for instance when learning about art, as well as bringing a number of challenges. The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) identifying the relevant aspects of childr…
