Proposition of a Modular I2C-Based Wearable Architecture

Daniel Thalmann, Xavier Righetti

In this paper we propose a novel wearable architecture based on the popular and proven I2C protocol. Our goal is to develop a modular approach towards wearable computing in a sense that users simply attach specific modules to their garments depending on th ...

Field of view extension using satellite pinhole cameras

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

An approach to extend the field of view of a miniaturised imaging system is introduced. This innovative approach uses multiple optical systems working in parallel and image post-processing. As an example, a module consisting of a central single micro-lens ...

Model-Based Estimation of Three-Dimensional Stiffness Parameters in Photonic-Force Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Andrzej Kulik, Philippe Thévenaz, Elena Bertseva, Amardeep Singh

We propose a system to characterize the 3-D diffusion properties of the probing bead trapped by a photonic-force microscope. We follow a model-based approach, where the model of the dynamics of the bead is given by the Langevin equation. Our procedure comb ...

Graph signature for self-reconfiguration planning of modules with symmetry

Auke Ijspeert, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani, Masoud Asadpour

In our previous works we had developed a framework for self-reconfiguration planning based on graph signature and graph edit-distance. The graph signature is a fast isomorphism test between different configurations and the graph edit-distance is a similari ...

Separation and Duality in Locally L0-Convex Modules

Damir Filipovic

Motivated by financial applications, we study convex analysis for modules over the ordered ring L0 of random variables. We establish a module analogue of locally convex vector spaces, namely locally L0-convex modules. In this context, we prove hyperplane s ...

Varieties of modules for Z/2Z x Z/2Z

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove that the restricted nilpotent commuting variety C, that is the set of pairs of (n x n)-matrices (A, B) such that A(2) = B-2 = [A, B] = 0, is equidimensional. C can be identified with the ...

Mental vision: a computer graphics teaching platform

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

We have developed a learning platform to simplify and improve teaching and practice of computer graphics for beginners and advanced students. Our goal is to offer a set of tools to help students having a better mental vision of the abstract notions introdu ...

Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Benoît Le Callennec

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...

Object manipulation and grasping for virtual humans

Tolga Abaci

Virtual environments need virtual humans that are capable of interacting with objects around them. Existing virtual environments have not found satisfactory general solutions for this problem. The common method is to combine pre-designed (or motion capture ...

Standardized Virtual Reality, are we there yet ?

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

Despite its history of several decades and impressive achievements, developing a VR application is still a complex task. Setting-up a Virtual Environment requires choosing a suitable combination of elements from a large amount of technologies, software fra ...
