Ambient Diagnostics

Ambient Diagnostics addresses innovative methods for discovering patterns from affordable devices such as mobile phones watches cameras and game interfaces to interpret multimedia data for personal health monitoring and diagnosis. This is the first comprehensive textbook on multidisciplinary innovations in affordable healthcare—from sensory fusion pattern detection to classification. Connecting the DotsThe material in this book combines sensing pattern recognition and visual design and is divided into four parts which cover fundamentals multimedia intelligence pervasive sensors and crowdsourcing. The author describes basic pattern discovery models sound color motion and video analytics and pattern discovery from games and social networks. Each chapter contains the material’s main concepts as well as case studies and extensive study questions. Contains overviews about diagnostic sensors on mobile phonesReflects the rapidly growing platforms for remote sensing gaming and social networkingIncorporates cognitive tests such as fatigue detectionIncludes pseudo code and sample codeProvides vision algorithms and multimedia analyticsCovers Multimedia Intelligence ExtensivelyAmbient Diagnostics includes concepts for ambient technologies such as point-and-search the pill camera active sensing with Kinect digital human labs negative and relative feature spaces and semantic representations. The book also introduces methods for collective intelligence from online video games and social media.
