In this paper we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the face video from omni-directional video camera. A two-stage strategy is used. First stage is the noise elimination, realized by iterative MAP update. Naive Bayesian criterion is used to model the posterior. The predominant salt and pepper noise introduced by the omni-to-perspective transformation can be removed effectively, while the image details are well preserved. The high frequency component compensation (HFCC) super-resolution algorithm is applied thereafter to remove the blocky effect. Experimental results show that the video quality has a marked improvement.

This paper describes an interdisciplinary research collaboration to design a human-centered driver assistance system. Driving behavior is captured using a novel intelligent vehicle test bed. The synchronized capture of driver behavior and driving context provides an empirical basis for the design and evaluation.

It is proposed a new method to compute, from the current unstructured view, a reference (desired) image for visual servoing. The approach, which is based on Cartesian specifications, is made without moving the robot to the target location as in the teach-by-showing paradigm. In addition, although it is assumed a piecewise planar target, no metric information between the object features is required. Several results demonstrate its validity and usefulness, for example in reconnaissance and surveillance tasks.

A mobile platform mounted with Omni-Directional vision Sensor (ODVS) can be used to monitor large areas and detect interesting events such as independently moving persons and vehicles. To avoid false alarms due to extraneous features, the image motion induced by the moving platform should be compensated. This paper describes a formulation of parametric ego-motion compensation for an ODVS. Omni images give 360 degrees view of surroundings but undergo considerable image distortion. To account for these distortions, the parametric planar motion model is integrated with the transformations into omni image space. Prior knowledge of approximate camera calibration and vehicle speed are integrated with the estimation process using Bayesian approach. Iterative, coarse to fine, gradient based estimation is used to correct the motion parameters for vibrations and other inaccuracies in prior knowledge. Experiments with camera mounted on a mobile platform demonstrate successful detection of moving persons and vehicles. Copyright 2003 ACM.

The particulars of facial gestures are frequently used to qualitatively define and characterize faces. It is not merely the skin motion induced by such gestures, but the appearance of the skin changes that provides this information. For gestures and their appearance to be utilized as a biometric, it is critical that a robust model be established. For this purpose we are exploring gesture manifolds. This paper describes work underway toward evaluation of the manifold representation of facial gestures both as a biometric, and as a means to extract biometric information. Details of the current acquisition system are discussed with the motivating principles behind the device. Preliminary observations are presented to motivate manifold analysis followed by an exposition of the experiments underway that will be used to validate the model. Copyright 2003 ACM.

In this paper, we present a fast algorithm for automatically generating a 3D model of a human face and synthesizing affects on it. This work is a step towards low bandwidth virtual tele-presence using avatars. The idea is to generate a 3D model of a person's face and animate different emotions on the face at a remote observer's end, thus eliminating the need to send raw video. This research is part of a larger project, which deals with development of novel sensory systems and interfaces to enhance safety of a driver. The proposed algorithm uses a stereo pair of images of a driver's face and creates a 3D mesh model by deforming and texture mapping a predefined 3D mesh.

In this paper we discuss the intelligent or smart camera based systems for capturing visual contextual information at multiple levels of information abstraction. A distributed video array, with multiple omnidirectional and rectilinear cameras, is used to acquire visual information. System architecture as well as 3D tracking and human identification modules are described. Examples of the use of distributed video arrays in indoor, outdoor, and mobile environments are presented.

This paper deals with the development of novel sensory systems and interfaces to enhance the safety of a driver who may be using a cell phone. It describes a system for real time affect analysis and Tele-viewing in order to bring the context of the driver to remote users. The system is divided into two modules. The affect recognition module recognizes six emotional states of the driver. The face-modeling module generates a 3D model of the driver's face using two images and synthesizes the emotions on it. Depending on bandwidth, either a raw video, 3D warped model, or an iconic representation is sent to the remote user.
