Hybrid Radio Frequency And Video Framework For Identity-Aware Augmented Perception In Disaster Management And Assistive Technologies, Xunyi Yu

Open Access Dissertations

In this dissertation, we introduce a hybrid radio frequency and video framework that enables identity aware-augmented perception. Identity-aware augmented perception enhances users' perception of the surrounding by collecting and analyzing information pertaining to each identifiable or tractable target nearby aggregated from various sensors, and presents it visually or audibly augmenting users' own sensory perceptions.
