Roombots (RB) are self-reconfigurable modular robots designed to study robotic reconfiguration on a structured grid and adaptive locomotion off grid. One of the main goals of this platform is to create adaptive furniture inside living spaces such as homes or offices. To ease the control of RB modules in these environments, we propose a novel and more natural way of interaction with the RB modules...
The gait movement is a complex and essential process of the human activity. Yet, many types of diseases (neurological, muscular, orthopedic, etc.) can be diagnosed from the gait analysis. This paper introduces a novel method to quickly visualize the different body parts related to an (temporally shift-invariant) asymmetric movement in the human gait of a patient for daily clinical usage. The goal...
Multi-objective optimization models have been increasingly used as optimal decisions are searched in settings considering several conflicting objectives. In these cases compromises must be made and often a large number of non-dominated optimal solutions exist. From these solutions decision-makers must find the preferred one. This is a difficult task both from a computational and cognitive point of...
Despite the growth of 3D applications, the effects of 3D technology on humans are relatively unknown and are still inconclusive. As we aimed to investigate the general effect of 3D game, we analyzed the dynamical changes in human brain using the EEG power absolute and coherence measures from brain topomaps. Our findings showed an increase in theta and alpha bands at the frontal and occipital regions...
Creating a user interface for a realtime interactive system is often a more challenging task than creating a traditional graphical user interface. A strategy to cope with the additional complexity is a division of work involving several authors with different expertise. Supporting these authors with a single tool can foster collaboration and solve problems due to incompatibilities and the need for...
Detecting, localizing and tracking humans within an industrial environment are three tasks which are of central importance towards achieving automation in workplaces and intelligent environments. This is because unobtrusive, real-time and reliable person tracking provides valuable input to solving problems such as workplace surveillance and event/activity recognition and, also, contributes to safety...
A novel pixel-line based clustering algorithm for Kinect depth image data is proposed in this paper. The algorithm first clusters the three-dimensional points belonging to the same pixel row. Then the single row clusters coming from adjacent rows are compared and matched to fulfill the three-dimensional cluster growth. Experiments are carried out with both office scene and greenhouse scene. The clustering...
The weakest chain in Control Systems in Industrial Enterprises it is located within the DCS (Distributed Control System) operators; that it is pretended to turn their 2D operational environments, in their different models, into 3D operational environments. The 2D environment limits the capacity of visualization from users (operators), however in the proposed 3D environment the vision it is widest...
3D Video (3DV) with depth-image-based view synthesis is a promising candidate of next generation broadcasting applications. However, the synthesized views in 3DV are often contaminated by annoying artifacts, particularly notably around object boundaries, due to imperfect depth maps (e.g., produced by state-of-the-art stereo matching algorithms or compressed lossily). In this paper, we first review...
