— Communication skill is essential for social robots in various environments such as homes, offices, and hospitals, where the robots are expected to interact with humans. In thi...
We propose a generative statistical approach to human motion modeling and tracking that utilizes probabilistic latent semantic (PLSA) models to describe the mapping of image featu...
We present a vision system for the 3-D modelbased tracking of unconstrained human movement. Using image sequences acquired simultaneously from multiple views, we recover the 3-D b...
— This paper presents a parallel algorithm of the Level Set Method named the Parallel Fast Level Set Method, and its application for real-time 3D reconstruction of human shape an...
We describe an integrated system for programming part-mating and contact tasks using simulation. A principal goal of this work is to make robotic programming easy and intuitive fo...
