Abstract. The lack of eye contact in desktop video teleconferencing substantially reduces the effectiveness of video contents. While expensive and bulky hardware is available on th...
Fast and reliable algorithms for estimating the head pose are essential for many applications and higher-level face analysis tasks. We address the problem of head pose estimation ...
We present a compositional method for deriving control constraints on a network of interconnected, partially observable and partially controllable plant components. The constraint ...
Future system design methodologies must accept the fact that the underlying hardware will be imperfect, and enable design of robust systems that are resilient to hardware imperfec...
