Book Synopsis Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications 2012 by : Jong-Hwan Kim
Download or read book Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications 2012 written by Jong-Hwan Kim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, robots have been built based on cognitive architecture which has been developed to model human cognitive ability. The cognitive architecture can be a basis for intelligence technology to generate robot intelligence. In this edited book the robot intelligence is classified into six categories: cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, behavioral intelligence, ambient intelligence, collective intelligence and genetic intelligence. This classification categorizes the intelligence of robots based on the different aspects of awareness and the ability to act deliberately as a result of such awareness. This book aims at serving researchers and practitioners with a timely dissemination of the recent progress on robot intelligence technology and its applications, based on a collection of papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA), held in Gwangju, Korea, December 16-18, 2012. For a better readability, this edition has the total 101 papers grouped into 3 chapters: Chapter I: Cognitive Intelligence, Social Intelligence and Behavioral Intelligence, Chapter II: Ambient Intelligence, Collective Intelligence and Genetic Intelligence, Chapter III: Intelligent Robot Technologies and Applications.

Book Synopsis Animation and Performance Capture Using Digitized Models by : Edilson de Aguiar
Download or read book Animation and Performance Capture Using Digitized Models written by Edilson de Aguiar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realistic generation of virtual doubles of real-world actors has been the focus of computer graphics research for many years. However, some problems still remain unsolved: it is still time-consuming to generate character animations using the traditional skeleton-based pipeline, passive performance capture of human actors wearing arbitrary everyday apparel is still challenging, and until now, there is only a limited amount of techniques for processing and modifying mesh animations, in contrast to the huge amount of skeleton-based techniques. In this thesis, we propose algorithmic solutions to each of these problems. First, two efficient mesh-based alternatives to simplify the overall character animation process are proposed. Although abandoning the concept of a kinematic skeleton, both techniques can be directly integrated in the traditional pipeline, generating animations with realistic body deformations. Thereafter, three passive performance capture methods are presented which employ a deformable model as underlying scene representation. The techniques are able to jointly reconstruct spatio-temporally coherent time-varying geometry, motion, and textural surface appearance of subjects wearing loose and everyday apparel. Moreover, the acquired high-quality reconstructions enable us to render realistic 3D Videos. At the end, two novel algorithms for processing mesh animations are described. The first one enables the fully-automatic conversion of a mesh animation into a skeletonbased animation and the second one automatically converts a mesh animation into an animation collage, a new artistic style for rendering animations. The methods described in the thesis can be regarded as solutions to specific problems or important building blocks for a larger application. As a whole, they form a powerful system to accurately capture, manipulate and realistically render realworld human performances, exceeding the capabilities of many related capture techniques. By this means, we are able to correctly capture the motion, the timevarying details and the texture information of a real human performing, and transform it into a fully-rigged character animation, that can be directly used by an animator, or use it to realistically display the actor from arbitrary viewpoints.
Book Synopsis Dual Bayesian and Morphology-based Approach for Markerless Human Motion Capture in Natural Interaction Environments by : Pedro Correa Hernandez
Download or read book Dual Bayesian and Morphology-based Approach for Markerless Human Motion Capture in Natural Interaction Environments written by Pedro Correa Hernandez and published by Presses univ. de Louvain. This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this work has been to tackle the problem of gestural human-computer interfaces in its most natural form, i.e. without markers or invasive devices. In that sense a complete system is proposed in order to classify and track in real-time a sufficient number of human features that allow novel forms of gestural man-machine interaction. The algorithm is basically composed of an intra-image phase and an inter-image phase. The first one takes advantage of several mathematical morphology tools in order to analyze the user silhouette and robustly extract head, hands and feet. The second phase works in an inter-image Bayesian framework in order to achieve the classification and tracking of the previously extracted features. Due to its low computational complexity, the system can run at real-time paces on standard Personal Computers, with an average error rate range between 2% and 7% in realistic situations, depending on the context and segmentation quality.

Book Synopsis Interactive Collaborative Information Systems by : Robert Babuška
Download or read book Interactive Collaborative Information Systems written by Robert Babuška and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-21 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing complexity of our world demands new perspectives on the role of technology in human decision making. We need new technology to cope with the increasingly complex and information-rich nature of our modern society. This is particularly true for critical environments such as crisis management and traffic management, where humans need to engage in close collaborations with artificial systems to observe and understand the situation and respond in a sensible way. The book Interactive Collaborative Information Systems addresses techniques that support humans in situations in which complex information handling is required and that facilitate distributed decision-making. The theme integrates research from information technology, artificial intelligence and human sciences to obtain a multidisciplinary foundation from which innovative actor-agent systems for critical environments can emerge. It emphasizes the importance of building actor-agent communities: close collaborations between human and artificial actors that highlight their complementary capabilities in situations where task distribution is flexible and adaptive. This book focuses on the employment of innovative agent technology, advanced machine learning techniques, and cognition-based interface technology for the use in collaborative decision support systems.

Book Synopsis Primate Behavioral Ecology by : Karen B. Strier
Download or read book Primate Behavioral Ecology written by Karen B. Strier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primate Behavioral Ecology, described as “an engaging, cutting-edge exposition,” incorporates exciting new discoveries and the most up-to-date approaches in its introduction to the field and its applications of behavioral ecology to primate conservation. This unique, comprehensive, single-authored text integrates the basics of evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with contemporary noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these insights for primate conservation. Examples are drawn from the “classic” primate field studies and more recent studies on previously neglected species from across the primate order, illustrating the vast behavioral variation that we now know exists and the gaps in our knowledge that future studies will fill.
