New access services in HbbTV based on a deep learning approach for media content analysis

Abstract

Universal access on equal terms to audiovisual content is a key point for the full inclusion of people with disabilities in activities of daily life. As a real challenge for the current Information Society, it has been detected but not achieved in an efficient way, due to the fact that current access solutions are mainly based in the traditional television standard and other not automated high-cost solutions. The arrival of new technologies within the hybrid television environment together with the application of different artificial intelligence techniques over the content will assure the deployment of innovative solutions for enhancing the user experience for all. In this paper, a set of different tools for image enhancement based on the combination between deep learning and computer vision algorithms will be presented. These tools will provide automatic descriptive information of the media content based on face detection for magnification and character identification. The fusion of this information will be finally used to provide a customizable description of the visual information with the aim of improving the accessibility level of the content, allowing an efficient and reduced cost solution for all.

A deep learning-based approach to extraction of filler morphology in SEM images with the application of automated quality inspection

“…Major applications of Mask R-CNN include identifying common objects in natural images with big sizes and elongated shapes. It is now making its way with various applications in nearly every domain with different modified architectures (Zhao et al, 2018;Ganesh et al, 2019;Uribe et al, 2019;Wessel et al, 2019). The automated visual inspection in composite manufacturing involves objects that are relatively small and morpha.…”

Accurate indoor positioning and tracking based on data fusion from inertial sensors, wireless signals and image devices using Deep Learning techniques

“…This task is performed every frame where the face is tracked then if some detections fails during tracking can be filtered using the most repeated values along the entire tracking of the concrete face. This work is presented in [293].…”
