u-Cam: Ubiquitous Camera in Real World with User-Driven Control

We developed a mechanism for photographing people and annotating their behavior along with nearby elements using multiple embedded cameras. In addition, we developed a method of dynamically integrating and presenting the recorded content. As a conventional camera is used to photograph objects selected by a photographer, taking pictures that include him while holding the camera is difficult. Security camera systems take pictures that include people and nearby elements, but such systems cannot take the user aspect of intentions and interest of the people. After detecting the intentions and behaviors of subjects using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, our system selects the best camera from cameras located in an area, and then the camera photographs the subject and the surrounding area. In addition, these photos can be annotated with meta datainformation about the context and interest of the subject.
