Toward Affordable and Practical Home Context Recognition: –Framework and Implementation with Image-based Cognitive API–
Sinan Chen, Sachio Saiki, Masahide Nakamura · The International journal of networked and distributed computing · 2019
To provide affordable context recognition for general households, this paper presents a novel technique that integrate imagebased cognitive Application Program Interface (API) and light-weight machine learning.Our key idea is to regard every image as a document by exploiting "tags" derived by the API.We first present a framework that specifies a common workflow of the machine-learning-based home context recognition.We then propose a pragmatic method that implements the framework using the "image-as-a-document" approach.
