Quick Abstract

In this paper we propose a recognition technique of 3D dynamic gesture for human robot interaction (HRI) based on depth information provided by Kinect sensor. The body is tracked using the skeleton algorithm provided by the Kinect SDK. The main idea of this work is to compute the angles of the upper body joints which are active when executing gesture. The variation of these angles are used as inputs of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in order to recognize the dynamic gestures. Results demonstrate the robustness of our method against environmental conditions such as illumination changes and scene complexity due to using depth information only.

Quick Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder which can be characterized by several symptoms such as tremor, slowness of movements, bradykinesia/akinesia and absence of postural reflexes . . . and affects 10 million people worldwide. This paper develops a novel strategy for treating patients with PD: silence High-Voltage-Spindle that resemble the pathophysiological b-waves and contribute to the development of b-waves. Silencing HVSs is expected to delay or even prevent the development of b-waves and thus the progression of PD motor symptoms. High-voltage spindles (HVSs) are observed during waking immobility of patients. In this study, the local field potentials collected from the lesioned and control rats on multiple channels were analyzed with an online detection algorithm to identify the characteristic scillations of HVSs from the second-order statistical properties of the signals and the detection performance is investigated to obtain the optimal choices. These results provide further motivation for the real-time implementation of the automatic HVS detection systems with improved performance for pathophysiological and therapeutic applications to the thalamocortical network dysfunctions.

Quick Abstract

In this paper, human-human collaboration formalism has been proposed to support groupware tailorability for Collaborative Augmented Environments (CAE). Our work is based on the 3C functional model proposed by Ellis. This model decomposes the collaboration into communication, coordination and production. This decomposition has been adapted to design tailorable groupware for CAE. A new concept called “distribution” has been introduced to consider the properties of collaborative and distributed 3D environment. A new formalism integrating this concept is proposed in order to adapt a groupware system to the real need of users evolving in 3D shared scene. Multi-agent technology is, therefore, used to determine the collaboration protocol between humans, through machines, over the network for implementing the desired tailorability.

Quick Abstract

The non-rigid face tracking has been achieved many advances in recent years, but most of empirical experiments are restricted at near-frontal face. This report introduces a robust framework for pose-free tracking of non-rigid face. Our method consists of two phases: training and tracking. In the training phase, a large offline synthesized database is built to train landmark appearance models using linear Support Vector Machine (SVM). In the tracking phase, a two-step approach is proposed: the first step, namely initialization, benefits 2D SIFT matching between the current frame and a set of adaptive keyframes to estimate the rigid parameters. The second step obtains the whole set of parameters (rigid and non-rigid) using a heuristic method via pose-wise SVMs. The combination of these aspects makes our method work robustly up to 90° of vertical axial rotation. Moreover, our method appears to be robust even in the presence of fast movements and tracking losses. Comparing to other published algorithms, our method offers a very good compromise of rigid and non-rigid parameter accuracies. This study gives a promising perspective because of the good results in terms of pose estimation (average error is less than 4°on BUFT dataset) and landmark tracking precision (5.8 pixel error compared to 6.8 of one state-of-the-art method on Talking Face video). These results highlight the potential of using synthetic data to track non-rigid face in unconstrained poses.

Quick Abstract

This paper presents a method to design an observer-based controller that simultaneously solves global estimation of state and asymptotic stabilization of an underactuated remotely operated vehicle moving in the in three-dimensional. The vehicle does not have a sway and roll actuator and has only position and orientation measurements available. The control development is based on Lyapunov’s direct method for nonlinear system.

3D Interaction Assistance in Virtual Reality: A Semantic Reasoning Engine for Context-awareness - From Interests and Objectives Detection to Adaptations

Topic: Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Environments

Authors: Yannick Dennemont , Guillaume Bouyer , Samir Otmane and Malik Mallem

Affiliation: Evry University, France

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0004207503490358

Proceedings of GRAPP 2013/VISIGRAPP, ISBN: 978-989-8565-46-4

Quick Abstract

This work aims to provide 3D interaction assistance in virtual environments depending on context. We designed and implemented a generic decision engine that can connect to our existing virtual reality applications through a set of tools. It uses an ontology and Conceptual Graphs (CGs) to represent knowledge, and First Order Logic to conduct semantic reasoning. Context information are gathered by virtual sensors in the application and interpreted by the engine. Multimodal assistance is provided by virtual actuators. Our first test scenario is about assistance to selection of objects or navigation towards objects: the engine automatically detects user’s interests and manages adaptations depending on user’s hand gestures, interactions history and type of task.

Quick Abstract

The early diagnostic of Alzheimer disease by non-invasive technique becomes a priority to improve the life of patient and his social environment by an adapted medical follow-up. This is a necessity facing the growing number of affected persons and the cost to our society caused by dementia. Computer based analysis of Fluorodeoxyglucose PET scans might become a possibility to make early diagnosis more efficient. Temporal and parietal lobes are the main location of medical findings. We have clues that in PET images these lobes contain more information about Alzheimer’s disease. We used a texture operator, the Local Binary Pattern, to include prior information about the localization of changes in the human brain. We use a Support Vector machine (SVM) to classify Alzheimer’s disease versus normal control group and to get better classification rates focusing on parietal and temporal lobes.

Proceedings of BIOSIGNALS 2013/BIOSTEC, ISBN: 978-989-8565-36-5

Quick Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach to recognize 2D faces. This approach is based on experiments performed in the field of cognitive science to understand how people recognize a face. To extract features, the image is first decomposed on a base of wavelets using four-level Difference Of Gaussians (DOGs) functions which are a good modeling of human visual system; then different Regions Of Interest (ROIs) are selected on each scale, related to the cognitive method we refer to. After that, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms are computed on each block of the ROIs and concatenated to form the final feature vector. Matching is performed by means of a weighted distance. Weighting coefficients are chosen based on results of psychovisual experiments in which the task assigned to observers was to recognize people. Proposed approach was tested on IV² database and experimental results prove its efficiency when compared to classical face recognition algorithms.

3D INTERACTION ASSISTANCE THROUGH CONTEXT-AWARENESS - A Semantic Reasoning Engine for Classic Virtual Environment

Authors: Dennemont Yannick , Guillaume Bouyer , Samir Otmane and Malik Mallem

Affiliation: Evry University, France

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0003946205620567

Proceedings of SIMIE 2012/VISIGRAPP, ISBN: 978-989-8565-02-0

Quick Abstract

This work focuses on 3D interaction assistance by adding adaptivity depending on the tasks, the objectives, and the general interaction context. The context is modelled with Conceptual Graphs (CG) based on an ontology. Including CG in our scene manager (Virtools) allows us to add semantic information and to describe the available tools. Adaptation result from rules handled with a logic programming layer (Prolog+CG) included in the Amine platform. This project is a step towards Intelligent Virtual Environments, which proposes a hybrid solution by adding a separate semantic reasoning to classic environments. The first experiment automatically manages few modalities depending on the distance to objects, user movement, available tools and modalities.
