Abstract. This paper presents a novel method for human gesture recognition based on quadratic curves. Firstly, face and hands in the images are extracted by skin color and their ce...
Detection of multiple people is a key element for social robot design and it is a requirement for effective human-robot interaction. However, it is not an easy task, especially in...
Abstract — The natural environments that robotic applications often encounter can present difficult problems for imagebased task execution. Prior efforts have used both grayscale...
Off-line trained class-specific object detectors are designed to detect any instance of the class in a given image or video sequence. In the context of object tracking, however, o...
Identifying verbally and non-verbally referred-to objects is an important aspect of human-robot interaction. Most importantly, it is essential to achieve a joint focus of attentio...
