The Era of KITT Living Services

 

 

The Era of Connected intelligence that will revolutionize the ability to create exciting and indispensable services


In the ’90 Born the Web and Internet Network

In the years 2000 the mobility Concept take Advantage Respect classic Internet

In the years 2010 born "The Era of IoT" and then "The Era of Living Services"

For Internet of Things (IoT), the objects ("things") will make it recognizable and acquire intelligence thanks to the fact of being able to communicate information about themselves

Living Services is the combination of two powerful forces: the digitization of everything and liquid (“real time”) consumer expectations.
Because they will flow through devices that will always be with us, such as wearable or the nearable, and because they will have on our lives a much more profound and positive impact of what they've got mobile and web.
"The Era of Living Services", now leads the evolution of services created by the convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and "liquid" expectations of modern consumers.

Over the next years, sensors, the cloud, connected smart devices and real-time analytics will combine to deliver a new layer of connected intelligence that will revolutionize the ability to create exciting and indispensable services. They will transform and improve the way we live, removing mundane tasks and anticipating our needs in delightful ways.

The Windows software is also capable of interface with the ideegeniali Central Lower Console, to the SPACEMAT keyboard.

 

Voice RECOGNITION

The IoT 3.0 allows the Voice Recognition also without any windows CARPC; voice recognition use the KNIGHT2000 Thunder IoT APP and allows to recognize all languages supported because it is system language indipendent  (a part English, Deutch, French, Spanish and Italian also Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian and so on).

So do not need buy any microphone, do not need any voice training for instructing the speech recognition because it is voice independent, do not make use of any special heavy and costly voice recognition software, which can slow down your PC performance in terms of CPU and RAM occupied. This Voice Recognition need however an Internet Connection, if it is not available the system is anyway compatible with both VoiceAttack and Dragon that can be used simultaneously or even in place of the KITT CO-Processing CPU.

This feature allow to scanning the environment with a Normal Webcam and a recognize the presence of a Human Face. The recognition of a person's face KITT can undertake a particular preprogrammed action .

KITT Fuctions corresponding

It is used in the real Film features of Surveillance Mode of KITT

Face Detection can be performed fairly reliably working in roughly 90-95% of clear CAM image of a person looking forward at the camera. It is usually harder to detect a person's face when they are viewed from the side or at an angle.

It can also be very difficult to detect a person's face if the image is not very bright, or if part of the face is brighter than another or has shadows or is blurry or wearing glasses, etc. However, Face Recognition is much less reliable than Face Detection.

Alghoritm used

It use the principle of Haar-like features used in Object Recognitions

Haar-like feature’s principle is based on detection of features encoding of some information about the class to be detected. They are adjacent rectangles in a particular position of an image. Figure 1 shows the types of Haar-like features depending on the number of adjacent rectangles.

 


Infrared Temperature Detect (Infrared Tracking Scope)

This features is used for Detected Movement, in particular

  • Sensing and measuring surface temperatures without surface contact
  • Monitoring a system for over-temperature conditions
  • Human or animal presence detection
  • Movement detection
  • Body temperature measurement

 

KITT Fuctions corresponding

It is corresponding to the Infrared Tracking Scope It is an enhanced version of the Tracking Scope that uses infrared to scan. Range: 10 miles (Tracking Scope- This locks on to a certain car so Michael can track it).

 

Alghoritm used

Wide temperature ranges: -40 to 125 °C for the ambient temperature and -70 to 382.2 °C for the object temperature.  

Maximum effective distance

In order to determine the maximum distance we first need to understand how KITT measures temperature. KITT takes in IR radiation in a conical pattern from directly in front of the black canister mounted on the board. The field of view (FOV) of the device is rated at 10°, to illustrate:

The measured value is the average temperature of all objects in the 10° Field Of View of the sensor.

Note that this means that you can measure the temperature of objects from any distance provided the object is of sufficient size. This is a bit counter-intuitive but true. You could measure the temperature of the sun from 7.9 million kilometers away though the data would admittedly be about 26 seconds old.
