Abstract Service robotics is currently a highly active research area in robotics, with
enormous societal potential. Since service robots directly interact with people, finding …

Skin detection is an important process in many of computer vision algorithms. It usually is a
process that starts at a pixel-level, and that involves a pre-process of colorspace …

Sensory integration or sensor fusion—the integration of information from different modalities,
cues, or sensors—is among the most fundamental problems of perception in biological and …

The ongoing integration of IT systems is offering computer users a wide range of new
(networked) services and the access to an explosively growing host of multimedia …

This paper presents a hybrid approach for tracking humans with a mobile robot that
integrates face and leg detection results extracted from image and laser range data …

The ability to robustly track a person is an important prerequisite for human-robot-interaction.
This paper presents a hybrid approach for integrating vision and laser range data to track a …

The visual tracking of human faces is a basic functionality needed for human-machine
interfaces. This paper describes an approach that explores the combined use of adaptive …

Skin detection is an important indicator of human presence and actions in many domains,
including interaction, interfaces and security. It is commonly performed in three steps …

A mechanism for the self-organized integration of different adaptive cues is proposed. In
democratic integration the cues agree on a result and each cue adapts towards the result …
