This article describes an essential step towards what is called a view centered representation of the low-level structure in an image. Instead of representing low-level structure (lines and edges) in one compact featu...

Intelligent meeting rooms should support efficient and effective interactions among their occupants. In this paper, we present our efforts toward building intelligent environments using a multimodal sensor network of static cameras, active (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras and microphone arrays. Active cameras are used to capture details associated with interesting events. The goal is not only to make a system that supports multi-person interactions in the environment in real time, but also to have the system remember the past, enabling reviews of past events in an intuitive and efficient manner. In this paper, we present the system specifications and major components, integration framework, active network control procedures and experimental studies involving multi-person interactions in an intelligent meeting room environment.

Perceptual experiments indicate that corners and curvature are very important features in the process of recognition. This paper presents a new method to detect rotational symmetries, which describes complex curvature such as corners, circles, star, and spiral patterns. It works in two steps: 1) it extracts local orientation from a gray-scale or color image; and 2) it applies normalized convolution on the orientation image with rotational symmetry filters as basis functions. These symmetries can serve as feature points at a high abstraction level for use in hierarchical matching structures for 3D estimation, object recognition, image database retrieval, etc.

Motion estimation in image sequences is an important step in many computervision and image processing applications. Several methods for solving this problem have been proposed, but very few manage to achieve a high level of accuracy without sacrificing processing speed. This paper presents a novel motion estimation algorithm, which gives excellent results on both counts. The algorithm starts by computing 3D orientation tensors from the image sequence. These are combined under the constraints of a parametric motion model to produce velocity estimates. Evaluated on the well-known Yosemite sequence, the algorithm shows an accuracy substantially better than those obtained using previously published methods. Computationally, the algorithm is simple and can be implemented by means of separable convolutions, which also makes it fast.

This paper presents a new method for using Petri net models in order to design and implement a sequence controller for a small scale robotic cell which consists of a robotic manipulator, a variety of sensors and electro-pneumatic actuators. The proposed method leads directly to the generation of the associated Ladder Logic Diagrams (LLDs) and it has proved to be effective through the application to sequence control of a small-scale industrial system. In addition, it has reduced the period for developing, debugging and reengineering of the LLD, compared to die traditional method that directly prepares an LLD. Experimental results are included to show the effectiveness of the PN/LDD controller.
