Primary and secondary pragmatic functions of pointing gestures
This article presents a study of a set of pointing gestures produced together with speech in a corpus of video-recorded ‘‘locality description’’ interviews in rural Laos. In a restricted set of the observed gestures (we did not consider gestures with special hand shapes, gestures with arc/tracing motion, or gestures directed at referents within physical reach), two basic formal types of pointin...
متن کاملRobot Guidance by Human Pointing Gestures
In the search for intuitive man-machine interfaces the visual recognition of human gestures would provide a powerful means to guide robot movements. In our paper we report on the development of the modular neural system \See-Eagle" for the visual guidance of robot pick-and-place actions. Several neural networks are integrated to a single system that visually recognizes human hand pointing gestu...
متن کاملFunctions of three open-palm hand gestures
INTRODUCTION Kendon distinguishes between two different types of gestures: " 'Pragmatic' gestures that indicate type of speech act or aspects of discourse structure and 'substantive' gestures that express utterance content " (1995:247). He further defines 'pragmatic gestures' as playing " modal, performative and parsing functions " as well as " interpersonal functions " (Kendon, 2004:159). A ge...
متن کاملTelevision Control by Hand Gestures
We study how a viewer can control a television set remotely by hand gestures. We address two fundamental issues of gesture{based human{computer interaction: (1) How can one communicate a rich set of commands without extensive user training and memorization of gestures? (2) How can the computer recognize the commands in a complicated visual environment? Our solution to these problems exploits th...
متن کاملInterpolation by Basis Functions of Different Scales and Shapes
Under very mild additional assumptions, translates of conditionally positive definite radial basis functions allow unique interpolation to scattered multivariate data, because the interpolation matrices have a symmetric and positive definite dominant part. In many applications, the data density varies locally, and then the translates should get different scalings that match the local data densi...
