Abstract. Active Appearance Models (AAM) are compact representations of the shape and appearance of objects. Fitting AAMs to images is a difficult, non-linear optimization task. Tr...
In this paper, we propose a prior for hand pose estimation that integrates the direct relation between a manipulating hand and a 3d object. This is of particular interest for a va...
— In this paper we address smooth and collision-free whole-body motion planning for humanoid robots. A two-stage iterative planning framework is introduced where geometric motion...
This paper presents a sculptured solid modeling system founded upon dynamic Catmull-Clark subdivision-based solids of arbitrary topology. Our primary contribution is that we integ...
Solid modeling based on partial differential equations (PDEs) can potentially unify both geometric constraints and functional requirements within a single design framework to mode...
