A dynamic operating system for sensor nodes

by Chih-chieh Han, Ram Kumar, Roy Shea, Eddie Kohler, Mani Srivastava - in MobiSys , 2005
"... Sensor network nodes exhibit characteristics of both embedded systems and general-purpose systems. As an embedded system, a sensor node must use little energy and be robust to environmental conditions. As a general-purpose system, a node should provide common services that make it easy to write appl ..."

applications. TinyOS, the current state of the art in sensor network operating systems, focuses on traditional embedded system constraints; reusable components implement common services, but a node runs a single statically-linked system image, making it hard to run multiple applications or incrementally update

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 ..."

Three-dimensional object recognition from single two-dimensional images

by David G. Lowe - Artificial Intelligence , 1987
"... A computer vision system has been implemented that can recognize threedimensional objects from unknown viewpoints in single gray-scale images. Unlike most other approaches, the recognition is accomplished without any attempt to reconstruct depth information bottom-up from the visual input. Instead, ..."

Detecting faces in images: A survey

by Ming-hsuan Yang, David J. Kriegman, Narendra Ahuja - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2002
"... Images containing faces are essential to intelligent vision-based human computer interaction, and research efforts in face processing include face recognition, face tracking, pose estimation, and expression recognition. However, many reported methods assume that the faces in an image or an image se ..."

sequence have been identified and localized. To build fully automated systems that analyze the information contained in face images, robust and efficient face detection algorithms are required. Given a single image, the goal of face detection is to identify all image regions which contain a face regardless

QSplat: A Multiresolution Point Rendering System for Large Meshes

by Szymon Rusinkiewicz, Marc Levoy , 2000
"... Advances in 3D scanning technologies have enabled the practical creation of meshes with hundreds of millions of polygons. Traditional algorithms for display, simplification, and progressive transmission of meshes are impractical for data sets of this size. We describe a system for representing and p ..."

and progressively displaying these meshes that combines a multiresolution hierarchy based on bounding spheres with a rendering system based on points. A single data structure is used for view frustum culling, backface culling, level-of-detail selection, and rendering. The representation is compact and can

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 ..."

rates. Our system achieves high frame rates working only with the information present in a single grey scale image. These alternative sources of information can also be integrated with our system to achieve even higher frame rates.

Edge Detection

by Ellen C. Hildreth , 1985
"... For both biological systems and machines, vision begins with a large and unwieldy array of measurements of the amount of light reflected from surfaces in the environment. The goal of vision is to recover physical properties of objects in the scene, such as the location of object boundaries and the s ..."

and the structure, color and texture of object surfaces, from the two-dimensional image that is projected onto the eye or camera. This goal is not achieved in a single step; vision proceeds in stages, with each stage producing increasingly more useful descriptions of the image and then the scene. The first clue

Recovering High Dynamic Range Radiance Maps from Photographs

by Paul E. Debevec, Jitendra Malik
"... We present a method of recovering high dynamic range radiance maps from photographs taken with conventional imaging equipment. In our method, multiple photographs of the scene are taken with different amounts of exposure. Our algorithm uses these differently exposed photographs to recover the respon ..."

With the known response function, the algorithm can fuse the multiple photographs into a single, high dynamic range radiance map whose pixel values are proportional to the true radiance values in the scene

Layered depth images

by Steven J. Gortler, Li-wei He, Michael F. Cohen , 1997
"... In this paper we present an efficient image based rendering system that renders multiple frames per second on a PC. Our method performs warping from an intermediate representation called a layered depth image (LDI). An LDI is a view of the scene from a single input camera view, but with multiple pix ..."

LLVM: A compilation framework for lifelong program analysis & transformation
