Robust real-time face detection

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2004
"... We have constructed a frontal face detection system which achieves detection and false positive rates which are equivalent to the best published results [7, 5, 6, 4, 1]. This face detection system is most clearly distinguished from previous approaches in its ability to detect faces extremely rapidly ..."

rapidly. Operating on 384 by 288 pixel images, faces are detected at 15 frames per second on a conventional 700 MHz Intel Pentium III. In other face detection systems, auxiliary information, such as image differences in video sequences, or pixel color in color images, have been used to achieve high frame

Pfinder: Real-time tracking of the human body

by Christopher Richard Wren, Ali Azarbayejani, Trevor Darrell, Alex Paul Pentland - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... Pfinder is a real-time system for tracking people and interpreting their behavior. It runs at 10Hz on a standard SGI Indy computer, and has performed reliably on thousands of people in many different physical locations. The system uses a multiclass statistical model of color and shape to obtain a 2D ..."

W4: Real-time surveillance of people and their activities

by Ismail Haritaoglu, David Harwood, Larry S. Davis - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 2000
"... w4 is a real time visual surveillance system for detecting and tracking multiple people and monitoring their activities in an outdoor environment. It operates on monocular gray-scale video imagery, or on video imagery from an infrared camera. W4 employs a combination of shape analysis and tracking t ..."

Real-time american sign language recognition using desk and wearable computer based video

by Thad Starner, Joshua Weaver, Alex Pentland - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1998
"... We present two real-time hidden Markov model-based systems for recognizing sentence-level continuous American Sign Language (ASL) using a single camera to track the user’s unadorned hands. The first system observes the user from a desk mounted camera and achieves 92 percent word accuracy. The secon ..."

A Scheme for Real-Time Channel Establishment in Wide-Area Networks

by Domenico Ferrari, Dinesh C. Verma - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 1990
"... Multimedia communication involving digital audio and/or digital video has rather strict delay requirements. A real-time channel is defined in this paper as a simplex connection between a source and a destination characterized by parameters representing the performance requirements of the client. A r ..."

Real-time human pose recognition in parts from single depth images

by Jamie Shotton, Andrew Fitzgibbon, Mat Cook, Toby Sharp, Mark Finocchio, Richard Moore, Alex Kipman, Andrew Blake - IN CVPR , 2011
"... We propose a new method to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, using no temporal information. We take an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler p ..."

local modes. The system runs at 200 frames per second on consumer hardware. Our evaluation shows high accuracy on both synthetic and real test sets, and investigates the effect of several training parameters. We achieve state of the art accuracy in our comparison with related work and demonstrate

The Vocabulary Problem in Human-System Communication

by G. W. Furnas, T. K. Landauer, L. M. Gomez, S. T. Dumais - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1987
"... In almost all computer applications, users must enter correct words for the desired objects or actions. For success without extensive training, or in first-tries for new targets, the system must recognize terms that will be chosen spontaneously. We studied spontaneous word choice for objects in five ..."

Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems

by Joseph Buck, Soonhoi Ha, Edward A. Lee, David G. Messerschmitt , 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."

To accommodate this breadth, Ptolemy must support a plethora of widely-differing design styles

Statecharts: A Visual Formalism For Complex Systems

by David Harel , 1987

We present a broad extension of the conventional formalism of state machines and state diagrams, that is relevant to the specification and design of complex discrete-event systems, such as multi-computer real-time systems, communication protocols and digital control units. Our diagrams, which we cal ..."
