      Computer vision, the field of how to enable computers to see the world, has been studied in the research community for a long time, and various technologies have been developed and are mature enough to be deployed in our daily lives. These technologies and applications include but are not limited to facial recognition for personal password login, moving object detection and tracking for video surveillance, and human activity recognition for entertainment purposes. These applications are typically made possible through one or multiple cameras mounted on stationary platforms. The backend software system—usually running on powerful machines such as personal computers or high-end servers—captures and analyzes the live video data and responds accordingly, depending on the target application.

      In recent years, mobile computing devices such as tablets or smartphones have become more and more popular. Although these devices feature a low-power design and have less powerful computation capability as personal computers or mainframes, they still support most lightweight applications. Also, in addition to vision cameras, these computing devices usually come with sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, pedometers, or GPS receivers, just to name a few. These sensors are typically not available on personal computers, and they open a new world on mobile devices for a wide variety of applications that are not seen on conventional
