Local Points of Interest Using Augmented Reality LOCAL POINTS OF INTEREST USING AUGMENTED REALITY _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Computer Science _______________ by Sudeshna Mukherjee Spring 2013 iii Copyright © 2013 by Sudeshna Mukherjee All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis work to my parents and teachers. The constant encouragement of my parents has given me direction in life. The guidance and support of my teachers has helped me in my educational journey of enlightenment. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Local Points of Interest Using Augmented Reality by Sudeshna Mukherjee Master of Science in Computer Science San Diego State University, 2013 As the worldwide smartphone market continues to expand, by the third quarter of 2012 Android had a 75% share of the global smartphone market according to the research firm IDC. One reason that smartphones are so popular is because of the wide range of smartphone applications that they provide these applications are also so useful because they can integrate intimately with our personal lives. Augmented reality is a new technology which integrates the virtual world of a smart phone with the real world of nearby locations as seen by the user. This thesis implements a number of augmented reality features by blending both visual, map-based and non-map- based elements like live projection of nearby landmark on camera preview. The main screen of the proposed application gives the address of the current location and provides two buttons. The first button is for a map view and gives the representation of the current location on the map, with options. The second button on the main screen is for showing a camera preview. When this button is clicked a camera preview is shown, and as we hold the phone vertically, it projects various nearby landmarks as icons on the phone screen. Again there is a menu bar with useful options. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ABSTRACT

  • From Google Maps to a Fine-Grained Catalog of Street Trees
    From Google Maps to a Fine-Grained Catalog of Street trees Steve Bransona,1, Jan Dirk Wegnerb,1, David Halla, Nico Langb, Konrad Schindlerb, Pietro Peronaa aComputational Vision Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, USA bPhotogrammetry and Remote Sensing, ETH Z¨urich,Switzerland Abstract Up-to-date catalogs of the urban tree population are of importance for municipalities to monitor and improve quality of life in cities. Despite much research on automation of tree mapping, mainly relying on on dedicated airborne LiDAR or hyperspectral campaigns, tree detection and species recognition is still mostly done manually in practice. We present a fully automated tree detection and species recognition pipeline that can process thousands of trees within a few hours using publicly available aerial and street view images of Google MapsTM. These data provide rich information from different viewpoints and at different scales from global tree shapes to bark textures. Our work-flow is built around a supervised classification that automatically learns the most discriminative features from thousands of trees and corresponding, publicly available tree inventory data. In addition, we introduce a change tracker that recognizes changes of individual trees at city-scale, which is essential to keep an urban tree inventory up-to-date. The system takes street-level images of the same tree location at two different times and classifies the type of change (e.g., tree has been removed). Drawing on recent advances in computer vision and machine learning, we apply convolutional neural networks (CNN) for all classification tasks. We propose the following pipeline: download all available panoramas and overhead images of an area of interest, detect trees per image and combine multi-view detections in a probabilistic framework, adding prior knowledge; recognize fine-grained species of detected trees.

  • Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera By
    Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera1 by Andy Lyons ​ Last modified: November 2016 Google Street View Camera Loan Kit In October 2016, Google loaned a 360-camera kit to IGIS (a statewide technical support program in ANR), for the purposes of exploring how Google’s Street View technology can be useful for research and management at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (and ANR field stations more generally). Street View app and the Samsung Gear 360 2 The Street View app (for both Android and iOS) is what you use to create and upload Street Views. The Samsung Gear 360 is one of about four 360 cameras that the Google Street View app is setup to work with (meaning the app can control the camera pretty seamlessly). Most people use the Street View app only to view off-road street views. You can also view off-road street views in plain old Google Maps, but the Street View app makes it a little easier to find user generated content. If you have a VR device such as the Google Cardboard, you can view Street Views in 3 cardboard mode .​ In terms of content creation, the Street View app has three main functions: i) control the camera, ii) process images (which includes stitching them together, blurring faces and license plates, adding locations as needed, and linking nearby photos), and iii) upload the images to Google Street View (after which they’ll be available in Google Maps immediately). The Samsung Gear can also record 360 video. For that you need the Samsung Gear 360 Manager (or another app).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. A Computer with a View PROGRESS, PRIVACY, AND GOOGLE INTRODUCTION [Tihe existing law affords a principle which may be invoked to protect the privacy of the individual from invasion either by the too enterprising press, the photographer .... [or] any other modern device for recording or reproducing scenes .... [Is it the case that] any individual, by appearing upon the public highway, or in any other public place, makes his appearance public, so that any one may take and publish a picture of him as he is at the time[?] What if an utterly obscure citizen, reeling along drunk on the main street, is snapped by an 2enterprising reporter, and the picture given to the world? Is his privacy invaded? The authors of the quotations above, Samuel Warren, Louis Brandeis, and William Prosser, were not referring to the Internet when they described the increasing invasion of modem devices into personal privacy, but their words are still poignant for many citizens of a world in which novel technology seems to sprout silently, rapidly, and endlessly.

Android apps must request permission to access sensitive user data (such as contacts and SMS), as well as certain system features (such as camera and internet). Depending on the feature, the system might grant the permission automatically or might prompt the user to approve the request.” “A central design point of the Android security architecture is that no app, by default, has permission to perform any operations that would adversely impact other apps, the operating system, or the user. This includes reading or writing the user's private data (such as contacts or emails), reading or writing another app's files, performing network access, keeping the device awake, and so on.” 6 Terms - permissions 101 Declaring the need of permission 7 Terms - permissions 101 Declaring the need of permission Check for permission 8 Terms - permissions

  • Can You Download Stock Android on Other Phones 10 Best Stock Android Phones Available Under Rs
    can you download stock android on other phones 10 Best Stock Android Phones Available Under Rs. 20,000 In 2021. Motorola and HMD Global that markets Nokia Brand in India ar`e the two OEMs that are primarily accredited for pushing the pure Android software on affordable phones for the last few years. In 2021, however, the onus is now on Motorola and nascent brands like Micromax. ( ) Consumers have strong faith in stock Android software and it also makes more sense for new entrants to embrace stock Android rather than to spend time and resources perfecting a custom interface. Stock Android has progressively gotten better and is considered a safer bet. So, if you are looking for a stock Android or pure Android phone priced under 20,000 INR, here are a few options that you could consider. Stock Android: Advantages and Disadvantages. The stock Android software is popular because it’s relatively lighter and faster as it isn’t bogged down or burdened with customization options, added features, ads, and preloaded apps that you might or might not use. Or in other words, you will (generally) get a clean reliable interface, won’t have to endure ads and recommendations in your notifications panel, and get to decide what apps you want to keep on your phone. It’s also a safer bet for consumers. If you aren’t sure whether you will find a particular software in line with your taste, it’s generally safer to side with Google’s vision aka stock Android. On the other hand, the unadulterated Android experience can feel crippling and unbelievably bland at times.
