Robust gesture recognition in video requires segmentation of the meaningful gestures from a whole body gesture sequence. This is a challenging problem because it is not straightfo...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
Our goal is automatic recognition of basic human actions, such as stand, sit and wave hands, to aid in natural communication between a human and a computer. Human actions are infer...
— Human hands are capable of many dexterous grasping and manipulation tasks. To understand human levels of dexterity and to achieve it with robotic hands, we constructed an anato...

Abstract— In this paper, we present an image-based markerless human motion capture system, intended for humanoid robot systems. The restrictions set by this ambitious goal are nu...
