Recognition of Shape-Changing Hand Gestures Based on Switching Linear Model
We present a method to track and recognize shape-changing hand gestures simultaneously. The switching linear model using active contour model well corresponds to temporal shapes a...

Detecting Human Movement by Differential Air Pressure Sensing in HVAC System Ductwork: An Exploration in Infrastructure Mediated
We have developed an approach for whole-house gross movement and room transition detection through sensing at only one point in the home. We consider this system to be one member o...
