Shape skeleton extraction is a fundamental preprocessing task in shape-based pattern recognition. This paper presents a new algorithm for fast and precise extraction of kinematic ...
The calculation of local features at points of interest is a vital part of many current image retrieval and object detection systems. The wavelet-based interest point detector by ...
A system for video surveillance purposes in wide areas based on active cameras, also capable to follow a person in the scene by keeping him framed, is presented. The proposed appr...
An appearance-based approach to track an object that may undergo appearance change is proposed. Unlike recent methods that store a detailed representation of object's appeara...
In this paper, we consider a passive approach to tactile presentation based on changing the surface textures of objects that might naturally be handled by a user. This may allow d...
