The purpose of this study was to determine the legibility of symbols formed from matrices which contained different numbers of dot elements. A set of alphanumeric symbols was constructed from each of the following dot matrices: 3x5, 5x7, 7x 11, and 9 x 15. The four symbol, sets were shown for identification to one group of operators under nearly optimal viewing conditions and to a second group ...

At time research, consisted 250 employees. Unlike other industry models, their designed to operate people mixed human-machine yet no HRI s...

This work performs an experimental study on the legibility of paths executed by a manipulation arm available on a Baxter robot. In this context, legibility is defined as the ability of people to effectively predict the target of the arm’s motion. Paths that are legible can improve the collaboration of robots with humans since they allow people to intuitively understand the robot’s intentions. E...

Landscape management involves tackling both systemic and social complexity: the former due to multiple interacting entities, latter incommensurable knowledge value systems of stakeholders. Current practice in landscape makes wide use participatory methods, which helps increase breadth our understanding sustainability problems, e.g. biodiversity loss, agricultural pest damages or water penury.

Various fonts give different impressions, such as legible, rough, and comic-text. This paper aims to analyze the correlation between local shapes, or parts, impression of fonts. By focusing on shapes instead whole letter shape, we can realize more general analysis independent from shapes. The is performed by newly combining SIFT DeepSets, extract an arbitrary number essential parts a particular...
