Abstract

An easy method to evaluate a remote place’s snowpack depth has been discussed for helping later-stage elderly persons’ life. The method of using a smartphone camera and an augmented reality marker (AR marker) has been investigated. The general smartphone with a high image resolution camera was used to observe snowpack depth in remote places and remote control the robot via Bluetooth device. And image processing using artificially integrated technology (AI technology) was adapted for detecting the AR markers and for evaluating the snowpack depth.
