The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to many changes in the methods used to impart education, with nearly all university courses in Japan transitioning to an online format, particularly video conferencing of live lectures. Considering the difficulties students face in remaining engaged during online lectures, we propose methods to maximize student participation by displaying a real-time animated avatar of the teacher's face over the lecture slides. Students were presented with photos of different teachers and asked to select whom they would prefer to take a class with, and whom they would not prefer. An open-source deep fake tool was then used to animate the selected photos by following the facial expressions of a teacher in real-time. These animations were superimposed over the lecture slides in an online class. Our experimental results show that students taught by their preferred teacher's animated avatar posted more comments, which was the form of feedback used, compared to when they were taught by a less preferred teacher's avatar on the slides. We speculate that a change in the teacher's avatar influences active student participation in online learning.

In this paper, we address the challenge of visual-based localization in dynamic outdoor environments characterized by continuous appearance changes. These changes greatly affect the visual information of the scene, resulting in significant performance degradation in visual localization. The issue arises from the difficulty of mapping data between the current image and the landmarks on the map due to environmental variations. One approach to tackle this problem is continuously adding new landmarks to the map to accommodate diverse environmental conditions. However, this leads to map growth, which in turn incurs high costs and resource demands for localization. To address this, we propose a map management approach based on an extension of the state-of-the-art technique called Summary Maps. Our approach employs a scoring policy that assigns scores to landmarks based on their appearance in multiple localization sessions. Consequently, landmarks observed in multiple sessions are assigned higher scores. We demonstrate the necessity of maintaining landmark diversity throughout map compression to ensure reliable long-term localization. To evaluate our approach, we conducted experiments on a dataset comprising over 100 sequences encompassing various environmental conditions. The obtained results were compared with those of the state-of-the-art approach, showcasing the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed method.
