Advanced Mixed Reality Technologies for Surveillance and Risk Prevention Applications

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

We present a system that exploits advanced Mixed and Virtual Reality technologies to create a surveillance and security system that could be also extended to define emergency prevention plans in crowdy environments. Surveillance cameras are carried by a mi ...

Crowds for interactive virtual environments

Branislav Ulicny

Crowds are part of our everyday experience; nevertheless, in virtual worlds they are still relatively rare. In this thesis we explore the challenges of bringing crowds into interactive virtual environments and the possible applications of real-time interac ...

A Virtual Keyboard Based on True-3D Optical Ranging

Edoardo Charbon, Huan Du, Félix Lustenberger

In this paper, a complete system is presented which mimics a QWERTY keyboard on an arbitrary surface. The system consists of a pattern projector and a true-3D range camera for detecting the typing events. We exploit depth information acquired with the 3D r ...

Virtual Sensor Design

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roberto Costantini

We present a virtual digital camera sensor, whose aim is to simulate a real (physical) image capturing sensor.To accomplish this task, the virtual sensor operates in two steps. First, it accepts a physical description of agiven scene and simulates the enti ...

Toward a 3-D Camera Based on Single Photon Avalanche Diodes

Edoardo Charbon, Pierre-André Besse, Cristiano Niclass, Alexis Rochas

A 3D imager is presented capable of computing the depth map as well as the intensity scale of a given scene. The heart of the system is a two-dimensional array of single photon avalanche diodes fabricated in standard CMOS technology. The diodes exhibit low ...

The mobile animator: interactive character animation in collaborative virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

We have designed a mobile -PDA-based- interface for real-time control of virtual characters in multiuser semi-immersive virtual environments - using a large rear-projection screen. The proof-of-concept implementation we present shows the potential of handh ...

Virtual humans for virtual reality and augmented reality

Daniel Thalmann

The tutorial will explain the techniques for integrating virtual humans into virtual and real environments. It will first present the concept of avatars and autonomous virtual actors and the main techniques to create and animate them (body and face). It wi ...

Bringing the human arm reachable space to a virtual environment for its analysis

Ronan Boulic, Manuel Peinado

Human reaching in a 3D environment is an interesting matter of research due to its application to workplace or vehicle-interior design. We introduce a 3D environment where a virtual human performs reaching tasks over 3D objects in the world. This environme ...

MPEG-7 CAMERA

Touradj Ebrahimi, Yousri Abdeljaoued, Oscar Divorra Escoda

MPEG-7 camera extends the capabilities of conventional cameras by analyzing its scene in order to generate a contentbased description according to the recently approved MPEG- 7 standard. This gives to the camera a large variety of current and potential app ...

Path finding for human motion in virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann

This paper presents an efficient and robust technique for generating global motion paths for a human model in virtual environments. Initially, a scene is discretized using raster hardware to generate an environment map. An obstacle-free cell path sub-optim ...
