Detection of semantic risk situations in lifelog data for improving life of frail people

The automatic recognition of risk situations for frail people is an urgent research topic for the interdisciplinary artificial intelligence and multimedia community. Risky situations can be recognized from lifelog data recorded with wearable devices. In this paper, we present a new approach for the detection of semantic risk situations for frail people in lifelog data. Concept matching between general lifelog and risk taxonomies was realized and tuned AlexNet was deployed for detection of two semantic risks situations such as risk of domestic accident and risk of fraud with promising results

Towards Unsupervised Familiar Scene Recognition in Egocentric Videos

Nowadays, there is an upsurge of interest in using lifelogging devices. Such devices generate huge amounts of image data; consequently, the need for automatic methods for analyzing and summarizing these data is drastically increasing. We present a new method for familiar scene recognition in egocentric videos, based on background pattern detection through automatically configurable COSFIRE filters. We present some experiments over egocentric data acquired with the Narrative Clip
