Painted facades are protected by paints that contain biocides as a protection against degradation. These facades are leached of biocides by rainfall, albeit at low concentrations. Nevertheless, at the city scale the leachable surface area of building facad ...
Speaker detection is an important component of a speech-based user interface. Audiovisual speaker detection, speech and speaker recognition or speech synthesis for example find multiple applications in human-computer interaction, multimedia content indexin ...
In this paper we propose a method to modulate the level of assistance provided by a shared controller, not only given the environmental context, but also according to the context of the user’s current behaviour. We show that the enhanced situational contex ...
The invention relates to an immobilizing device for a toothed wheel suitable for the field of horology where it can be part of a direct- or indirect-impulse escapement, in particular in a wristwatch. This immobilizing device (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) comprises: — ...
We propose a novel way to augment a real-world scene with minimal user intervention on a mobile phone; the user only has to point the phone camera to the desired location of the augmentation. Our method is valid for horizontal or vertical surfaces only, bu ...
Speaker diarization for meetings data are recently converging towards multistream systems. The most common complementary features used in combination with MFCC are Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA). Also other features have been proposed although, there are no ...
In this paper we present a text independent on-line writer identification system based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). This system has been developed in the context of research on Smart Meeting Rooms. The GMMs in our system are trained using two sets of ...
The recognition of events in multimedia data is a challenging area of research. The growth in the amount of multimedia data being produced and stored increases the need for systems capable of automatically analysing this data. This analysis can aid in effi ...
We extend the standard boosting procedure to train a two-layer classifier dedicated to handwritten character recognition. The scheme we propose relies on a hidden layer which extracts feature vectors on a fixed number of points of interest, and an output l ...
In the past few years, the level set method has been extensively used for the numerical solution of interface problems in different domains, from free-surface and mean curvature flows to image processing. A crucial ingredient in every implementation of the ...
