Abstract
Cognitive consumer electronics (CE), the fastest-growing sector worldwide that is driven by machine intelligence and cognitive systems, is triggered and enabled by audio- and video-capturing devices, smart sensors, health- and fitness-monitoring devices, security and education electronics, and intelligent systems. Smart consumer sensors and cognitive systems are synergized through the Internet of Things (IoT) for optimal information sharing, communication, real-time updates, data analytics, and enhanced support for decision making. Biometric-based devices, originally intended for large-scale applications in airports, border controls, disaster zones, or refugee migration zones, are enabling a wide range of applications in commercial and consumer sectors as standalone systems or with interconnected sensor networks. This article introduces the applications of Microsoft Kinect in cognitive systems for smart CE, and, using Kinect sensors, a human-behavior cognition technology is presented for gesture and activity recognition. As a novel front end of pervasive cognitive systems, the challenges and applications of a Kinect sensor-based system will be explored in CE, such as smart automobiles, health care, surveillance, and activity recognition.
