Summary
Partners:
• Debreceni Egyetem, Informatikai Kar, HU
• Polytechnica University of Timisoara, RO
The project aims to strengthen the education process of both universities by an
extensive exchange of know-how in the field of mobile technologies and
augmented reality. The outcome of the project is expected to be a software
based on image processing and data mining techniques, which can be used for
education in several ways. This partnership includes both joint research and
bilateral educational work: the first augmented reality enviroment will be
developed in the border region, using the expertise of both universities and
involving students into the development of the system. The participating
students have the opportunity to learn to work in groups using state-of-the-art
development tools. By taking shared seminars, the students can also benefit from
the knowledge gained from the other side's experts. The developed system can
also be beneficial for several institutions of both sides (arts, natural sciences,
architecture, etc.).

Summary
• Joint research of the University of Debrecen
and the Politechnica University of Timisoara
(HURO)
• The first augmented reality enviroment will
be developed in the border region.
• The participating students have the
opportunity to learn to work in groups using
state-of-the-art development tools.
– Benefits from the knowledge gained from
the other side's experts.
• Joint educational efforts.
Partnership
• Debreceni Egyetem (University of
Debrecen)
– Take advantage in digital image
processing and database/data mining
applications.
– Project works for students.
• Politechnica University of Timisoara
– Responsible with the analysis, design,
implementation and testing of mobile
application layer of the proposed service.
– Flexible architecture for user friendly
interface.
Added value of the project
• The proposed project aims to use joint
research efforts between Timisoara and
Debrecen in order to see:
– How new mobile technologies can be used to
improve the education process?
– First in high-level education and next in
medium-level education.
• The main result of our common research is
expected to be an augmented reality tool
based on high-level image recognition
techniques that can be used by students as an
assistant.
• The added value of our research is to
introduce the concept of smart mobile
assistant in education.
Project implementation
• 12 interested and talented students is composed
– Selection procedure from the 120 ones attending
the parallel courses at both the partners
– The lectures/labs will be held by the experts,
and also the selected students will be supervised
by them
• The implementation of the system considers the
following three major components:
– Developing/implementing image processing
algorithms,
– Developing/implementing mobile application,
– Developing/implementing data mining
applications
Mobile develpoment
• Gathering picture and metadata
• Preprocessing of images
• Communication with the
recommendation system
• Display of the results
Recommendation system
• Distributed system
• Image processing
• Data mining
• Communication with the mobile device
