Forest fire is an important issue that damages
thousands of hectares of forest and all creatures inside it. In this
study we have developed an early fire detection system running on
low-cost, lightweight Raspberry Pi module integrated with an
infrared camera. The infrared camera acquires the live video of
the fields, then if a fire occurs, our software detects the fire by
taking both motion and color characteristics of a flames into
account. In our study, there exist two phases: first, motion
detection phase is applied to the view, if a motion is detected in the
view, then, color detection phase is applied to determine the
flames. Obtained results indicates that our fire detection system
can detect a forest fire clearly and smoothly without requiring any
external equipment and manual intervention.

Nowadays, many mobile applications have proposed to provide healthcare service. One of the most important healthcare problem all over the world is failure of the early detection and treatment of visual impairment. In this study, we have developed VisualDetector, a low-cost, user friendly and mobile visual impairment detection system which has two components. First component is an integrated circuit attached to the smartphone that measures the distance between user and smartphone, then, sends the measured distance to the smartphone via Bluetooth. Second component of VisualDetector is android-based mobile application that interacts with the user by executing vision tests. VisionDetector can detect visual acuity and colorblindness problems of the user without requiring to go to an eye clinic. Thus, early detection of visual impairment can be possible, and the expense of treatment will be decreased. The results indicate that our proposed system has a potential to use as an early detection tool for visual impairment.

Interactive 3D architectural indoor design have been more popular after it benefited from Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. VR brings computer-generated 3D content to real life scale and enable users to observe immersive indoor environments so that users can directly modify it. This opportunity enables buyers to purchase a property off-the-plan cheaper through virtual models. Instead of showing property through 2D plan or renders, this visualized interior architecture of an on-sale unbuilt property is demonstrated beforehand so that the investors have an impression as if they were in the physical building. However, current applications either use highly resource consuming software, or are non-interactive, or requires specialist to create such environments. In this study, we have created a real-estate purposed low-cost high quality fully interactive VR application that provides a realistic interior architecture of the property by using free and lightweight software: Sweet Home 3D and Unity. A preliminary study showed that participants generally liked proposed real estate-purposed VR application, and it satisfied the expectation of the property buyers.
