A Vision-Based Navigation System for Tamsui Historical Buildings
A Vision-Based Navigation System for Tamsui Historical Buildings Wen-Chuan Wu1, Zi-Wei Lin1, and Yi-Hui Chen2 1Dept. of Computer Science & Information Engineering, Aletheia University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +886-4-23323456 Abstract—This paper proposes a vision-based navigation system for Tamsui historical buildings. Most travelers in Tamsui take a picture of the historical buildings by using their mobile phone's camera. Our system is designed to automatically extract the color and edge features out of images, and then search similar images from an image database by comparing with these features. For the searched buildings, their contextual navigation and 3D model will be displayed or projected in a screen. This makes the navigation process easier and more interesting. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme retrieves the target building images effectively and accurately. Fig. 1 The simple architecture of a typical CBIR system. I.

Universal Design Evaluation Applied on Station Sign System Innovation Design
2020-1078 IJOI http://www.ijoi-online.org/ UNIVERSAL DESIGN EVALUATION APPLIED ON STATION SIGN SYSTEM INNOVATION DESIGN Yung-Chin Tsao Professor, The Graduate Institute of Design Science, Tatung University, Taiwan, R.O.C. [email protected] Shang-li Chu The Graduate Institute of Design Science, Tatung University, Taipei 104, Taiwan, R.O.C. d10017006@ ms.ttu.edu.tw Ching-Huei Lai Safety Division, Institute of Transportation, Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tions, Taipei City 10548, Taiwan, R.O.C. Shih-Yin Huang The Graduate Institute of Design Science, Tatung University, Taipei 104, Taiwan, R.O.C. Abstract Transportation facilities are used by numerous people from a broad range of groups. Therefore, to fulfill the principles of universal design (UD), transportation environments must be designed with maximum ease of use for all people in mind, which will enable sustainable social development to be achieved. This study focused on improving upon the flaws in the sign system for the main passageways in Banqiao Station in New Taipei City, Taiwan. A new sign system was designed for the transfer route from Taiwan Rail- ways to the Mass Rapid Transit system, and a three-dimensional virtual reality scenario was incorporated for a UD evaluation test to reinforce the UD procedure. The flaws in the existing sign system were divided into six groups: (1) missing information; (2) interfer- ence with vision and sight; (3) unintegrated sign design; (4) unintegrated sign informa- tion; (5) disturbance from environmental lighting; and (6) unclear directional positioning. The types and locations of the signs were redesigned, and the visual design and informa- tion contents of the sign system were integrated systematically, after which the setup planning and design improvement of the sign system was implemented according to the flaws identified by users. -

Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.
