Abstract :
In following the “Signals of Opportunity” theme of the NAECON ´09 Grand Challenge, we explore the use of computer-vision technique proposed in [3]. The proposed approach is not affected by the strength of the microwave, and is more accurate than the conventional time of arrival approaches. Methods based on limited and varying information of markers is discussed. Simple applications and experimentation based on augmenting a motorized wheelchair for vision applications is discussed.
