Various anatomical objects are tubular in shape. These structures can be modeled by describing their curvilinear path and the cross-sectional shape along the path. However, most r...
— The paper contributes to presenting both an accurate and robust shape tracking algorithm and a novel visual servoing method. Two steps are involved in the tracking algorithm. F...
This paper presents a Bayesian network based multimodal fusion method for robust and real-time face tracking. The Bayesian network integrates a prior of second order system dynami...
Humans are articulated objects composed of non-rigid parts. We are interested in detecting and tracking human motions over various periods of time. In this paper we describe a met...
— For humanoid robots to fully realize their biped potential in a three-dimensional world and step over, around or onto obstacles such as stairs, appropriate and efficient appro...
