Computer and Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (previously entitled
Machine Vision) clearly and systematically presents the basic methodology of computer and …

Future driver assistance systems will have to cope with complex traffic situations, especially
in the road crossing scenario. To detect potentially hazardous situations as early as …

This work provides an introduction to the foundations of three-dimensional c-puter vision
and describes recent contributions to the? eld, which are of methodical and application …

Significant progress has been made in the field of autonomous driving during the past
decades. However, fully autonomous driving in urban traffic is still extremely difficult in the …

Robots have to deal with an enormous amount of sensory stimuli. One solution in making
sense of them is to enable a robot system to actively search for cues that help structuring the …

We present a Model-Predictive Control (MPC) system for online synthesis of interactive and
physically valid character motion. Our system enables a complex (36-DOF) 3D human …

A difficulty in robot action learning is that robots do not know where to attend when
observing action demonstration. Inspired by human parent-infant interaction, we suggest …

A very important aspect in developing robots capable of human-robot interaction (HRI) is the
research in natural, human-like communication, and subsequently, the development of a …

Human body tracking has received increasing attention in recent years due to its broad
applicability. Among these tracking algorithms, the particle filter is considered an effective …

Fall detection, especially for elderly people, is a challenging problem which demands new
products and technologies. In this paper a fuzzy model for fall detection and inactivity …
