NFC Prototype Bonanza
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2011)This report presents the results of the research conducted by Tor Kreutzer and Ø yvind Holmstad during the summer of 2011 at the University of Troms ø. The goal of the project was to gain practical experience with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology by exploring its properties through hands-on development of applications and services. To explore the applicability and limitations of NFC we ... -
WallMon : Interactive distributed monitoring of process-level resource usage on display and compute clusters
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-11)To achieve low overhead, traditional cluster monitoring systems sample data at low frequencies and with coarse granularity. However, interactive monitoring requires frequent (up to 60 Hz) sampling of fine-grained data and visualization tools that can explore and display data in near real-time. This makes traditional cluster monitoring systems unsuited for interactive monitoring of distributed cluster ... -
Search-based composition, streaming and playback of video archive content
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Locating content in existing video archives is both a time and bandwidth consuming process since users might have to download and manually watch large portions of superfluous videos. In this paper, we present two novel prototypes using an Internet based video composition and streaming system with a keyword-based search interface that collects, converts, analyses, indexes, and ranks video content. ... -
Features of Mobile Diabetes Applications: Review of the Literature and Analysis of Current Applications Compared Against Evidence-Based Guidelines
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: Interest in mobile health (mHealth) applications for self-management of diabetes is growing. In July 2009, we found 60 diabetes applications on iTunes for iPhone; by February 2011 the number had increased by more than 400% to 260. Other mobile platforms reflect a similar trend. Despite the growth, research on both the design and the use of diabetes mHealth applications is scarce. ... -
Review of Extracting Information From the Social Web for Health Personalization
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)In recent years the Web has come into its own as a social platform where health consumers are actively creating and consuming Web content. Moreover, as the Web matures, consumers are gaining access to personalized applications adapted to their health needs and interests. The creation of personalized Web applications relies on extracted information about the users and the content to personalize. The ... -

Summarizing image collections
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06-01)The widespread use of digital cameras and mobile phones, along with a rapidly growth of image sharing, challenges current image retrieval techniques. It is difficult for image retrieval system to find the semantic meaning of images based on human’s subjectivity and the size of current image databases makes it difficult to organize and search images. This thesis shows that information retrieval ... -
A prototype system for context sensitive communication in hospitals based on an Ascom/trixbox experimental platform
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06-01)Hospital's communication infrastructure suffers from different types of common problems. Currently, this infrastructure relies mainly on the use of pagers which are devices particularly interruptive for the daily work of hospital's workers, and moreover they do not support context-awareness communication. Wireless phones are supposed to be a valid alternative to pagers and they can also be used to ... -
A scalable, interactive widget library for visualizing biological data
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06)In biology the introduction next generation technology is increasing the amount of data generated rapidly. New sequencing machines are able to produce terabytes of genomic data in days and in later years the cost of storing data has become higher than to produce it. With enormous amounts of data arrives great opportunities, but also new challenges; how should biologists analyze and interpret the ... -
Detecting events in videos using semantic analytics of subtitles
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06)Recently, television broadcasters such as the NRK and TV2 channels, have begun offering live internet television and movie archive along with their regular schedule, much like the known video archives such as Youtube and Vimeo. The amount of all television offered reduces the ability of the user to get an overview of the programs that are available at any given time, making the user will probably ... -
Real-time annotation of video streams using staged processing
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06-01)Real-time media rich applications rely on live streams of rich and accurate meta-data describing the video content to provide personal user experiences. Unfortunately, the general amount of video meta-data today is often limited to titles, synopsis and a few keywords. A wildly used approach for extraction of meta-data from video is computer vision. It has been developed a number of different ... -

Context-based image retrieval in Fronter learning environment
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-02)The Internet has become a natural medium for finding information and resources, and has probably become the most important tool in education and e-learning as well. Many educational institutions use on-line systems for uploading, creating and publishing educational content to students and pupils. Extended use of multimedia files, video, audio and image, as a part of the content is a growing trend ... -

A configuration tool for process oriented UAV programming.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-25)This thesis covers the design, implementation and evaluation of a configuration tool for process oriented Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programming. In addition it will examine if and how a process network can be used to control sensors and communication channels on an UAV in flight. NORUT-IT is currently developing a sensor platform based on UAVs. The mission computer software they have at the ... -

Time constrained video playback
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-08)The duration of video playlists, might be a problem when watching on mobile devices, while on the go. We are exploring the problem of how to reduce the size of a video playlist, while maintain the important parts of the videoclips in the playlist. We have designed algorithms that automatically can cut down a playlist by cutting the duration of clips or sometimes even removing clips. We have shown ...
