The Art and Science of
Location and Media.
I came across two interesting
experiments involving location metadata and media today.
First,
scientists Roberto Cipolla
and Duncan Robertson at
the University of Cambridge are building a
system for inferring location from image content:
Roberto Cipolla and Duncan Robertson have developed a program that
can match a photograph of a building to a database of images. The
database contains a three-dimensional representation of the real-life
street, so the software can work out where the user is standing to
within one metre.
Their project is the inverse of the Mobile Media Metadata project, which aims to infer image content
from contextual metadata (including location). It is interesting to
consider how the technologies might work together: taking a picture of
a building tells the system where you are (South Hall).
Knowing where you are tells the system what you are doing there
(attending class), from which it can infer who the people in the
picture are (your classmates)…
Second, artists Pall Thayer, Sara Kolster, and Pete Gomes are playing with the
concept of geocinema,
using open-source tools to superimpose GPS coordinates on
video on real-time. Cool, but how much more interesting would it
be if they could:
- convert those coordinates to higher-level semantic location
metadata ("the place I passed out last night"), and
- use that metadata not just for superimposing on the video but as
input for determining the structure of the video
narrative?

04/12/2004 03:27 PMNow that more and more cars are coming with built in navigation
systems, they may no longer be necessary. Lots of companies have been
working on building navigation systems for mobile phones, and this
review of such a system from
Televigation on a Nextel phone suggests that they may be ready for
primetime - especially considering the price differential between a
$2,000 in-dash system and a $6/month system on your phone. While the
in-dash system includes a bigger screen, and potentially more
features, the fact that the mobile phone can be used anywhere (such as
a rental car) and that all the heavy lifting occurs on a server (where
the data is more likely to be up-to-date) may suggest that in-dash
navigation systems don't have much of a future. What's more likely,
of course, is that via Bluetooth, or some similar technology, such
applications on a mobile phone will be connected to the in-dash
display (and the vehicle's speakers) to make the overall navigation
experience adjust to the situation. As the article suggests, this is
only the beginning of location-based services in mobile phones, but by
piggy-backing on a service that people understand already, it will
make it easier to gain more widespread adoption. After that,
additional value added features will start to appear.

06/03/2004 01:35 PMThough it's impossible to consider without thinking of the
inevitable exploits (from Big Brotherish agencies and rowdy script
kiddies alike), Intel has said they are developing support within
their mobile processor line to allow computers to be aware of their
physical location at all times. Although nothing is set in stone yet,
Intel is working with others (Microsoft, for example) to add features
that would integrate simple things like, say, selection of which
printer to use based on proximity into future laptops and mobile
devices. Sounds okay, but also the sort of thing that will probably
hit all at once as mobile phones are already gaining GPS abilities and
Bluetooth short range communication -- soon all of our devices will
know where you are and will be happy to tattle to each other where
you're hiding, whether you like it or not.

Top Tip: Linux login authentication?
Top Tip: Linux login authentication?
08/09/2004 11:17 AMHow does Linux handle the Windows equivalent of domain logins? I'm
looking into using Linux in the computer lab of a small school which
has approximately 20 computers. I'm familiar with Windows domains and
its logon security, but am not sure how it works in the Linux world?
Are there domain controllers? How is logon authentication handled?

USB Key Replaces Gateway Login
USB Key Replaces Gateway Login
06/08/2004 12:31 PMPronto Networks introduces USB key to allow secure login without
passwords: Pronto's Internet Key lets a user plug in this small device
into a USB port to authenticate themselves over a Pronto-based
network. The release doesn't mention what software is required to use
the system, which was co-developed with Sweet Spot Solutions. While
this is an idea that's been churning for a while--Microsoft is working
on something of this sort, for instance--it's problematic when it's a
single-vendor solution. Think about the grocery store affinity
programs: how many cards do you have to carry to get the best price if
a single store isn't convenient to you? My mother-in-law has a dangly
array of those, which are capable of being managed, but not ideal. So,
too, would a USB-based authentication system quickly get out of hand
if you needed to carry a separate key for each system you might use.
The best solution will be something akin to a SIM card as used in GSM
phones, which has already been successfully tested as a method of
secure authentication across a Wi-Fi network to a back-end cellular
accounting system. Instead of a single key for each system, carry a
USB key with either biometric (fingerprint) or password-based strong
encrypted for mounting that contains a variety of certificates for use
with an 802.1X EAP-TLS system. Even better, embed Secure ID into the
USB key so that its ever-changing number is visible. This would
provide yet another level of security: stealing the certificate and
the username/password doesn't gain access without the Secure ID
number. These kinds of authentication systems don't need to be
baroque, and different networks might require different levels of
security. But there should be checks and balances so that the theft of
a string of data (like a certificate) or a piece of hardware (like a
USB key) doesn't jeopardize the integrity of network....
