Introduction to This Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI), as a field, has made great strides toward understanding and improving our interactions with computer-based technologies. From the early explorations of direct interaction with computers, we have reached the point where usability, usefulness, and an appreciation of technology’s social impact, including its risks, are widely accepted goals in computing. HCI resea...

Vision Research special issue on “Visual attention”

This is the first of two parts of a special issue on the topic of ‘‘Visual attention’’. The second part of the special issue, which will be published shortly, will provide a thematic outline of the papers in both parts. The papers presented in this special issue are based on the Third International Workshop in Visual Attention that took place in October 2011 at the University of Allahabad in In...

Special issue on neural networks for computer vision applications

This paper presents a novel approach to the segmentation and integration of (radar) images using a secondorder recurrent arti cial neural network architecture consisting of two sub-networks: a function network that classi es radar measurements into four di erent categories of objects in sea environments (water, oil spills, land and boats), and a context network that dynamically computes the fun...
