Abstract. A common problem in optical motion capture of human-body movement is the so-called missing marker problem. The occlusion of markers can lead to significant problems in tr...
This paper describes a virtual reality system that realizes both an avatar motion control and a virtual object manipulation without avatar representation. Our goal is to do seamle...
Unsupervised categorization of objects is a fundamental problem in computer vision. While appearance-based methods have become popular recently, other important cues like function...
This paper presents a simple and efficient method of modeling synthetic vision, memory, and learning for autonomous animated characters in real-time virtual environments. The mode...
