This paper describes a system for visual telepresence that slaves the motion of an electromechanical stereo head/eye platform to that of an operator’s head. Features on the operator’s head are detected using an external static camera and tracked over time, using three or more features to find pose (orientation and translation) with a novel algorithm which avoids explicit recovery of the feature...

We describe one type of scheduling problem, that of scheduling final exams at Memorial University (MUN), a comprehensive Canadian university. It is well-known that the general scheduling problem is NP-complete [1]. Over the years, this problem has attracted a lot of attention and many different approaches have been tried in finding approximate solutions [2]. Here we propose an approximate solut...
