An appraisal of human motions and particular motion phases is essential for a good interaction between a human and a humanoid robot. We present a new method for the analysis of hum...
Abstract. This paper describes Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition's participation in the face detection and tracking tasks for the CLEAR 2006 evaluation. We first give a system ov...
Optimization of the control parameters of genetic algorithms is often a time consuming and tedious task. In this work we take the meta-level genetic algorithm approach to control ...
An approach to high-level interaction with autonomous robots by means of schematic maps is outlined. Schematic maps are knowledge representation structures to encode qualitative s...
