We present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface. Our system consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each photograph as well as a sparse 3D model

by statistical properties related to the instrumentation, rhythmic structure and form of its members. In this work, algorithms for the automatic genre categorization of audio signals are described. More specifically, we propose a set of features for representing texture and instrumentation. In addition a novel

This paper presents a definition and framework for a novel type of adaptive data network: the cognitive network. In a cognitive network, the collection of elements that make up the network observes network conditions and then, using prior knowledge gained from previous interactions

Many emerging applications (e.g., teleconference, real-time information services, pay per view, distributed interactive simulation, and collaborative work) are based upon a group communications model, i.e., they require packet delivery from one or more authorized senders to a very large number

manipulators. This paper discusses the design rationale, novel kinematics and mechanics of the PHANTOM. A brief description of the programming of basic shape elements and contact interactions is also given.

This note presents everal techniques to improve window management with overlapping windows: tabbed windows, turning and peeling back windows, and snapping and zipping windows.

We present a novel approach to building and deploying network protocols. The approach is based on mobile code, demand loading, and caching techniques. The architecture of our system allows new protocols to be dynamically deployed at both routers and end systems, without the need forcoordination

The result is a platform for creating scalable, highly-interactive visualizations of large data sets in a modular and principled fashion. We have used prefuse to implement both novel

Abstract: This paper presents several novel interactive human-robot systems which were recently developed at IPK. These systems were designed for direct physical interaction between humans and robots. The principal structures and functions of the following ro-botic systems are briefly presented
