Abstract
As for a perspective view with the future of intelligent machinery systems, this paper suggests some possibilities of an application to the field of e-learning. That is, computer vision technologies looking at human are expected to be potent tools for the improving the quality of education. There are proposed a couple of systems as concrete examples: (1) multimedia self-study support system distributing lecture-video by on-demand base, and (2) classroom scene monitoring system. Although these two systems involve a lot of difficult problems, some of which are yet impossible to solve, they would contribute to enhance computer vision technology farther and to meet social demands for the level-up of higher education that are recently greatly increased.
