A computational model for the acquisition of knowledge from encyclopedic texts is described. The model has been implemented in a program, called SNOWY, that reads unedited texts f...
This paper presents a new method for the automatic painterly rendering. This method synthesizes an impressive image with a handcrafted look from a source image such as a photograp...
We present an approach for recovering articulated body pose from single monocular images using the Specialized Mappings Architecture (SMA), a non-linear supervised learning archit...
This paper presents a method of hand posture estimation from silhouette images taken by two cameras. First, we extract the silhouette contour for a pair of images. We construct an...
Hand motion capturing is one of the most important parts of gesture interfaces. Many current approaches to this task generally involve a formidable nonlinear optimization problem ...
