Facial expressions are a rich source of communicative information about human behavior and emotion. This paper presents a real-time system for recognition and imitation of facial expressions in the context of affective Human Robot Interaction. The proposed method achieves a fast and robust facial feature extraction based on consecutively applying filters to the gradient image. An efficient Gabor filter is used, along with a set of morphological and convolutional filters to reduce the noise and the light dependence of the image acquired by the robot. Then, a set of invariant edge-based features are extracted and used as input to a Dynamic Bayesian Network classifier in order to estimate a human emotion. The output of this classifier updates a geometric robotic head model, which is used as a bridge between the human expressiveness and the robotic head. Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach compared to similar systems.
A good adjustable control system is a system that can adapt its behaviors according to the user's state over time. While most researches in Human-Robot Cooperation focus on making the robotic system more efficient...

In this paper, we propose a method based on the SVM algorithm to recognize dynamic hand gestures. The information of motion trajectory is captured by a leap motion in three-dimension space. A new methodology of feature extracting is proposed to guarantee the length of samples being the same. The elements of feature vectors are ranged according to two different criteria: one is the amplitude of the variation of orientation angles, and the other criterion is the order of the appearance of features. Experimental results show that this method can classify the dynamic hand gestures effectively.
Real-time performance can be greatly improved, if the early recognition is implemented. In this paper, a dynamic hand gesture early recognition system is proposed. The system can recognize the gesture before it is com...

Real-time performance can be greatly improved, if the early recognition is implemented. In this paper, a dynamic hand gesture early recognition system is proposed. The system can recognize the gesture before it is completed. Our method is based on the Hidden Semi-Markov Models. Three-dimensional information of the gesture trajectory collected by leapmotion is the main data we used. Experiments on the dataset which we established demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

In this paper, we present our recent sensor fusion approaches to obtain high-quality 3D information. We first discuss two fusion methods that combine geometric and photometric information. The first method, multiview photometric stereo, reconstructs the full 3D shape of a target object. The geometric and photometric information is efficiently fused by using a planar mesh representation. The second method performing shape-from shading with a Kinect sensor estimates the shape of an object under uncalibrated natural illumination. Since the method uses a single RGB-D input, it is capable of capturing the high quality shape details of a dynamic object under varying illumination. Subsequently, we summarize a calibration algorithm of a time of-flight (ToF) sensor and a camera fusion system with a 2.5D pattern. Lastly, we present a camera-laser sensor fusion system for the large-scale 3D reconstruction.

In this work, we propose an approach for the unexplored topic of therapeutic facial exercise recognition using depth images. In cooperation with speech therapists, we determined nine exercises that are beneficial for therapy of patients suffering from dysfunction of facial movements. Our approach employs 2.5D images and 3D point clouds, which were recorded using Microsoft's Kinect. Extracted features comprise the curvature of the face surface and characteristic profiles that are derived using distinctive landmarks. We evaluate the discriminative power and the robustness of the features with respect to the above-mentioned application scenario. Using manually located face regions for feature extraction, we achieve an average recognition accuracy of about 91% for the nine facial exercises. However in a real-world scenario manual localization of regions for feature extraction is not feasible. Therefore, we additionally examine the robustness of the features and show, that they are beneficial for a real-world, fully automated scenario as well.

While commercially available AUVs are routinely used in survey missions, a new set of applications exists which clearly demand intervention capabilities. The maintenance of: permanent observatories underwater; submerged oil wells; cabled sensor networks; pipes; and the deployment and recovery of benthic stations are but a few of them. These tasks are addressed nowadays using manned submersibles or work-class ROVs, equipped with teleoperated arms under human supervision. Although researchers have recently opened the door to future I-AUVs, a long path is still necessary to pave the way to underwater intervention applications performed in an autonomous way. This paper reviews the evolution timeline in autonomous underwater intervention systems. Milestone projects in the state of the art are reviewed, highlighting their principal contributions to the field. To the best of the authors knowledge only three vehicles have demonstrated some autonomous intervention capabilities so far: ALIVE, SAUVIM and GIRONA 500 I-AUV. Next, GIRONA 500 I-AUV is presented and its software architecture discussed. Recent results in different scenarios are reported: 1) Valve turning and connector plugging/unplugging while docked to a sub-sea panel, 2) Free floating valve turning using learning by demonstration, and 3) Free floating multipurpose multisensory based object recovery. The paper ends discussing the lessons learned so far and presenting the authors view of the future.
