I have a laptop connected to a USB camera.
An image recognition system is installed
on the laptop. The system allows me to
capture scenes, store them on the computer
and extract uniqe features from each one
of them (let's call these images the
training set).
After a training stage, I can go with my
laptop and its camera around. Then the
system tries to recognize the current
scene the camera is looking at, to one of
those stored as part of the training set.
It works pretty well and gives good
recognition rate.
What hospital-related applications would
you suggest me to use such a system for?
What would you use it for if you had such
a system?
(note that the algorithm can't focus on
specific objects at a scene. It just
recognizes an entire scene, for example:
"this is the main entrance of the
building", "this is the kitchen", and so
on...)
Thanks!

I don't know if this really belongs in the
debate forum.... I'm trying to figure out
what your point is.... are you developing
something for blind people? Or are you
yourself blind and using this as a means
of getting around? Help me understand
more.

Well, I'm not blind (otherwise, it would
be difficult to write this reply)...
Here, I'm tring to ask people who work at
a hospital (and other people as well) for
ideas of possible applications.
Your idea of guiding blind people is
excelent!
