Abstract
This paper proposes an object remembrance system in corporating a newly developed wearable camera that should be used in our daily life. A user often forgets where he/she left some objects. Our system supports him/her to recollect their locations. We have developed a wearable camera integrating an infrared camera with a color camera. The image of the object the user holds in his/her hand can be extracted from the user's hand and background image using the camera. We adopt the eigenspace method for object registration and retrieval. This method can calculate an object posture from the extracted object image. Our proposed system has two operations; one is the retrieval of an object's name using a current image and another is the retrieval of the image of the recorded object that is selected by the user from the list of resistered objects.
