Hand gesture recognition based on free-form contours and probabilistic inference

Włodzimierz Kasprzak, Artur Wilkowski, Karol Czapnik (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A computer vision system is described that captures color image sequences, detects and recognizes static hand poses (i.e., "letters") and interprets pose sequences in terms of gestures (i.e., "words"). The hand object is detected with a double-active contour-based method. A tracking of the hand pose in a short sequence allows detecting "modified poses", like diacritic letters in national alphabets. The static hand pose set corresponds to hand signs of a thumb alphabet. Finally, by tracking...

Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building supported by structured landmarks

Robert Bączyk, Andrzej Kasiński (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building systems which take advantage of some landmarks other than point-wise environment features are not frequently reported. In the following paper the method of using the operational map of robot surrounding, which is complemented with visible structured passive landmarks, is described. These landmarks are used to improve self-localisation accuracy of the robot camera and to reduce the size of the Kalman-filter state-vector with respect to...

Remarks on hardware implementation of image processing algorithms

Marek Wnuk (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Image processing in industrial vision systems requires both real-time speed and robustness. Modern computers, which fulfill the first demand, are sensitive to hard industrial environment conditions and require considerable amounts of energy. Programmable logic chips are available, which can realize many simple, still time-consuming operations in a parallel or a pipelined manner. The paper discusses particular features of the pipelined architecture and presents selected techniques of...

The structure-from-motion reconstruction pipeline – a survey with focus on short image sequences

Klaus Häming, Gabriele Peters (2010)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The problem addressed in this paper is the reconstruction of an object in the form of a realistically textured 3D model from images taken with an uncalibrated camera. We especially focus on reconstructions from short image sequences. By means of a description of an easy to use system, which is able to accomplish this in a fast and reliable way, we give a survey of all steps of the reconstruction pipeline. For the purpose of developing a coherent reconstruction system it is necessary...

Adaptive Document Image Binarization with Application in Processing Astronomical Logbooks

Laskov, Lasko (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): I.7, I.7.5. Recently, the digitalization of the astronomical scientific heritage has been considered an important task that can facilitate much researches in astronomy. The creation of digital libraries and databases of astronomical photographic plates brings up the problem of digitalization astronomical logbooks, since the data contained in them is crucial for the usage of the plates. An optical character recognition (OCR) system...
