Using activity theory to understand intergenerational play: The case of Family Quest
We implemented a five-week family program called Family Quest where parents and children ages 9 to 13 played Quest Atlantis, a multiuser 3D educational computer game, at a local af...

Better bounds on the union complexity of locally fat objects
We prove that the union complexity of a set of n constantcomplexity locally fat objects (which can be curved and/or non-convex) in the plane is O(λt+2(n) log n), where t is the m...

Implicit Active Contours Driven by Local Binary Fitting Energy
In this paper, we propose a novel region-based active contour model for image segmentation with a variational level set formulation. By introducing a local binary fitting energy, ...
