We examine the effect of contextual and acoustic cues in the disambiguation of three discourse-pragmatic functions of the word okay. Results of a perception study show that contex...
Abstract. Recent human vision research [1] suggests modelling preattentive texture segmentation by taking a set of feature samples from a local region on each side of a hypothesize...
The widely used denoising algorithms based on nonlinear diffusion, such as Perona-Malik and total variation denoising, modify images toward piecewise constant functions. Though ed...
We analyze a previously unexplored generalization of the scalar total variation to vector-valued functions, which is motivated by geometric measure theory. A complete mathematical...
This paper presents an approach for view-based recognition of gestures. The approach is based on representing each gesture as a sequence of learned body poses. The gestures are re...
