In this paper we present a method for estimating a person's head pose with a stereo camera. Our approach focuses on the application of human-robot interaction, where people m...
It is argued that for the computer to be able to interact with humans, it needs to have the communication skills of humans. One of these skills is the ability to understand the em...

This paper presents an overview of our project on an augmented desk interface system called the EnhancedDesk. The EnhancedDesk is equipped with an infrared camera for tracking a u...
Skin detection is employed in tasks like face detection and tracking, naked people detection, hand detection and tracking, people retrieval in databases and Internet, etc. However...
The performances of face recognition systems are heavily subject to the variations in lighting. We propose a novel approach for face recognition under generic illumination conditi...
This paper describes a finger gesture recognition system based on an active tracking mechanism. The simplicity of this tracking system is such that it would be possible to integra...
In the recent years particle filtering has been the dominant paradigm for tracking facial and body features, recognizing temporal events and reasoning in uncertainty. A major prob...
Tracking a moving person is challenging because a person's appearance in images changes significantly due to articulation, viewpoint changes, and lighting variation across a ...
The ability to detect a persons unconstrained hand in a natural video sequence has applications in sign language, gesture recognition and HCI. This paper presents a novel, unsuper...
