Memory Specs — An Annotation System on Google Glass using Document Image Retrieval

要約

We present a system working on a wearable computer that can annotate and retrieve annotations for signs, posters, public displays etc. The only limitation of the system: the annotated objects need to contain at least 3-5 lines of text with fixed layout. We evaluate our system in a poster session scenario with 5 use cases: retrieving annotations, adding notes, taking pictures and recording audio and attaching them to posters. As a ubiquitous note taking and annotation application, we believe the system can bridge online and offline discussions and give the user a way to reflect on seen information by providing them a web interface to all the annotations they took together with the source material (in our case poster and paper publications), helping to organize their thoughts and improving their recall.
