In the present investigation, positions of head landmarks in panoramic x-ray images in relation to cephalometric landmarks were studied. Special landmarks in right and left sides of mandible were manually identified and calibrated with reference readings. The measured landmarks are compared for both sides with different panoramic duration times. Results between left and right were compared using a thin-plate spline (TPS) geometric tool. The averages of both sides were reported and compared with frontal cephalometric readings. Differences between left and right landmarks were found to be significant in relation to cephalometric landmarks and differences between different duration times.

Providing navigation assistance to users is a complex task generally consisting of two phases: planning a tour (phase one) and supporting the user during the tour (phase two). In the first phase, users interface to databases via constrained or natural language interaction to acquire prior knowledge such as bus schedules etc. In the second phase, often unexpected external events, such as delays or accidents, happen, user preferences change, or new needs arise. This requires machine intelligence to support users in the navigation realtime task, update information and trip replanning. To provide assistance in phase two, a navigation system must monitor external events, detect anomalies of the current situation compared to the plan built in the first phase, and provide assistance when the plan has become unfeasible. In this paper we present a prototypical mobile speech-controlled navigation system that provides assistance in both phases. The system was designed based on mplications from an analysis of real user assistance needs investigated in a diary study that underlines the vital importance of assistance in phase two.

Human pose estimation from monocular image sequences is attracting increasing attention, and 2D (image-based) as well as 3D (joint-motion based) approaches have been proposed. The former is computationally fast, and works also for less frequent poses, but reliability is low. The latter is computationally expensive owing to the high-dimensionality of the problem, despite attempts at dimensionality-reduction. We propose to impose temporal continuity constraints on the 2D approaches in order to improve reliability and obtain spatio-temporal descriptions of the action in the image plane. In the first stage, at each frame-level spatial localisation will be done by applying background subtraction, after that static image pose estimation is performed using CRF-based probabilistic assembly of parts, based on the approach by Ramanan [1]. Next, pose continuity is imposed via first-order Markovian constraints on the CRF search. This results in improved spatial accuracy as well as significantly reduced search. We present results from the Weizmann video dataset to demonstrate how such an approach can serve as an image-plane based alternative to full 3D modeling or manifold search.

Actions consist of short shape-motion fragments which recur in a seemingly unique sequence. We propose that these short fragments may constitute a concise vocabulary for actions. Models based on such “words” sometimes use the bag of words paradigm, which ignores sequence information. Also, despite the well-known utility of Fourier and similar features for temporal modelling, Fourier models have not received due attention to model action words until recently. Hence, we employ shape-frequency features as a temporally windowed Fourier transform to capture local motion and shape information. Unsupervised clustering discovers the naturally occurring modes (words) of these features. Each labelled video can thus be represented as a sequence of cluster transitions. Though different actions share common words, we observe that the word sequences are different for different actions, enabling easy discrimination. We evaluate the model on the Weizmann action dataset [1] and achieve 96.7% classification accuracy, and show how it compares to other similar algorithms.
