  • Toward a Smart world: vision-based adaptive surveillance
    2006
    Co-Authors: Lawrence Y. Deng
    Abstract:

    Smart world has been an important research issue of distributed computing and communication in the future. Since the Smart Applications are implemented on cyberspace, how to control Smart objects and to increase the degree of self awareness has been a challenging issue. This paper was addressed in a vision-based surveillance Smart Application. An Extended Petri Net was proposed for modeling the vision-based surveillance Smart Application. This proposed system not only provided the hyperspace facilities but also gave the certainly Smart/intelligent fusion for receiver's needs. Our testbed were focused on the swing and slide those were very common facilities in the park field or playground. We constructed several surveillance cameras with the different specified position and view angle. To obtain the moving objects which were grabbed video and it could be analyzed the potential dangers in real time. We believe that the more Smart Applications can be developed the more Smart real world will be come true in near future.

  • Water Efficiency in Buildings: Theory and Practice - Intelligent Metering for Urban Water Planning and Management
    Water Efficiency in Buildings, 2013
    Co-Authors: Cara Beal, Rodney Anthony Stewart, Damien Giurco, Kriengsak Panuwatwanich
    Abstract:

    Driven by the information age, a paradigm shift is starting to occur in the urban water planning and management field, mainly due to the introduction of advanced metering and communications technologies. This chapter explores the potential role of intelligent water metering systems, and the Smart Application of resultant data sets for the future of water planning and management in the built environment. Intelligent water meters essentially perform three functions; they automatically and electronically capture, collect and communicate up-to-date water usage readings on a real-time (or nearly real-time) basis. To translate this data into useful information, a comprehensive intelligent water metering system is required, which integrates high-resolution metering (e.g., 0.01?l; 5?sec), communication technologies (e.g., GPRS) and information management systems, in order to provide real-time information on how, when and where water is being consumed for the customer and water business. This chapter seeks to promote the uptake and Application of intelligent water metering systems by examining the benefits and drivers of, and barriers to, intelligent metering. Specifically, it presents applicable examples of where intelligent metering systems can significantly enhance current activities in terms of citywide urban planning, infrastructure planning, water demand management and customer satisfaction.

  • cost effective and rapid blood analysis on a cell phone
    Lab on a Chip, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ikbal Sencan, Stoyan Dimitrov, Justin Wong, Derek Tseng, Keita Nagashima, Aydogan Ozcan
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate a compact and cost-effective imaging cytometry platform installed on a cell-phone for the measurement of the density of red and white blood cells as well as hemoglobin concentration in human blood samples. Fluorescent and bright-field images of blood samples are captured using separate optical attachments to the cell-phone and are rapidly processed through a custom-developed Smart Application running on the phone for counting of blood cells and determining hemoglobin density. We evaluated the performance of this cell-phone based blood analysis platform using anonymous human blood samples and achieved comparable results to a standard bench-top hematology analyser. Test results can either be stored on the cell-phone memory or be transmitted to a central server, providing remote diagnosis opportunities even in field settings.

  • A personalized food allergen testing platform on a cellphone.
    Lab on a chip, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ahmet F. Coskun, Justin Wong, Delaram Khodadadi, Richie Nagi, Andrew Tey, Aydogan Ozcan
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate a personalized food allergen testing platform, termed iTube, running on a cellphone that images and automatically analyses colorimetric assays performed in test tubes toward sensitive and specific detection of allergens in food samples. This cost-effective and compact iTube attachment, weighing approximately 40 grams, is mechanically installed on the existing camera unit of a cellphone, where the test and control tubes are inserted from the side and are vertically illuminated by two separate light-emitting-diodes. The illumination light is absorbed by the allergen assay, which is activated within the tubes, causing an intensity change in the acquired images by the cellphone camera. These transmission images of the sample and control tubes are digitally processed within 1 s using a Smart Application running on the same cellphone for detection and quantification of allergen contamination in food products. We evaluated the performance of this cellphone-based iTube platform using different types of commercially available cookies, where the existence of peanuts was accurately quantified after a sample preparation and incubation time of ∼20 min per test. This automated and cost-effective personalized food allergen testing tool running on cellphones can also permit uploading of test results to secure servers to create personal and/or public spatio-temporal allergen maps, which can be useful for public health in various settings.

  • integrated rapid diagnostic test reader platform on a cellphone
    Lab on a Chip, 2012
    Co-Authors: Onur Mudanyali, Stoyan Dimitrov, Uzair Sikora, Swati Padmanabhan, Isa Navruz, Aydogan Ozcan
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate a cellphone-based rapid-diagnostic-test (RDT) reader platform that can work with various lateral flow immuno-chromatographic assays and similar tests to sense the presence of a target analyte in a sample. This compact and cost-effective digital RDT reader, weighing only ∼65 g, mechanically attaches to the existing camera unit of a cellphone, where various types of RDTs can be inserted to be imaged in reflection or transmission modes under light-emitting diode (LED)-based illumination. Captured raw images of these tests are then digitally processed (within less than 0.2 s per image) through a Smart Application running on the cellphone for validation of the RDT, as well as for automated reading of its diagnostic result. The same Smart Application then transmits the resulting data, together with the RDT images and other related information (e.g., demographic data), to a central server, which presents the diagnostic results on a world map through geo-tagging. This dynamic spatio-temporal map of various RDT results can then be viewed and shared using internet browsers or through the same cellphone Application. We tested this platform using malaria, tuberculosis (TB) and HIV RDTs by installing it on both Android-based Smartphones and an iPhone. Providing real-time spatio-temporal statistics for the prevalence of various infectious diseases, this Smart RDT reader platform running on cellphones might assist healthcare professionals and policymakers to track emerging epidemics worldwide and help epidemic preparedness.
