The effective reference frame in perceptual judgments of motion direction

The retinotopic projection of stimulus motion depends both on the motion of the stimulus and the movements of the observer. In this study, we aimed to quantify the contributions of endogenous (retinotopic) and exogenous (spatiotopic and motion-based) refer ...

Visual tracking of non-rigid objects with partial occlusion through elastic structure of local patches and hierarchical diffusion

Kwang Moo Yi, Seungryong Kim

In this paper, a tracking method based on sequential Bayesian inference is proposed. The proposed method focuses on solving both the problem of tracking under partial occlusions and the problem of non-rigid object tracking in real-time on a desktop persona ...

Finite Volume Particle Method for 3-D Elasto-Plastic Solid Simulation

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

Finite Volume Particle Method was successfully used to predict fluid flow behavior for 2-D simulations. In this paper, we present a FVPM which is applicable for 3-D solid mechanics simulations. This method features rectangular top-hat kernels for computing ...

Designing and Fabricating Mechanical Automata from Mocap Sequences

Mark Pauly, Duygu Ceylan

Mechanical figures that mimic human motions continue to entertain us and capture our imagination. Creating such automata requires expertise in motion planning, knowledge of mechanism design, and familiarity with fabrication constraints. Thus, automaton des ...

Learning to play minigolf: A dynamical system-based approach

Aude Billard, Seyed Mohammad Khansari Zadeh, Klas Jonas Alfred Kronander

A current trend in robotics is to define robot motions so that they can be easily adopted to situations beyond those for which the motion was originally designed. In this work, we show how the challenging task of playing minigolf can be efficiently tackled ...

Contactless deflection sensing of concave and convex shapes assisted by soft mirrors

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Ionut Halasz

Typical deflection sensors like strain gauges or devices based on optical fibers require physical contact with the deflected substrate during the measurement process. Such contact, however, impacts on the softness of the substrate and may falsify the measu ...

Automated Motion LoD with Rigid Constraints

Daniel Thalmann, Junghyun Ahn

Motion LoD (Level of Detail) is a preprocessing technique that generates multiple details of captured motion by eliminating joints. This LoD technique is applied to movie, game or VR environments for the purpose of improving speed of crowd animation. So fa ...

Learning Motion Dynamics to Catch a Moving Object

Aude Billard, Elena Gribovskaya, Seungsu Kim

In this paper, we consider a novel approach to control the timing of motions when these are encoded with autonomous dynamical systems (DS). Accurate timing of motion is crucial if a robot must synchronize its movement with that of a fast moving object. In ...

Local velocity-adapted motion events for spatio-temporal recognition

Barbara Caputo

In this paper we address the problem in motion recognition using event-based local motion representations. We assume that similar patterns of motion contain similar events with consistent motion across image sequences. Using this assumption, we formulate t ...

Dynamic visual attention: competitive versus motion priority scheme

Heinz Hügli, Alexandre Bur

De¯ned as attentive process in presence of visual sequences, dynamic visual attention responds to static and motion features as well. For a computer model, a straightforward way to integrate these features is to combine all features in a competitive scheme ...
