In this paper, a role of corner detection in outline capturing system is studied/discussed, which is normally used as phase 1 of capturing. Three outline capturing techniques are studied, one without involving any corner detection and two techniques with most suited corner detectors. One common curve approximation method, with cubic Bezier curves, is used in all above techniques in order to stu...

In order to obtain a good spline model from large measurement data, we frequently have to deal with knots as variables, which becomes a continuous, non-linear and multivariate optimization problem with many local optima. Hence, it is very difficult to obtain a global optima. In this paper, we present a method to convert the original problem into a discrete combinatorial optimization problem and...

We define temporal summaries of news stories as extracting as few sentences as possible from each event within a news topic, where the stories are presented one at a time and sentences from a story must be ranked before the next story can be considered. We outline an evaluation strategy that we have developed for this task and describe simple language models for capturing novelty and usefulness...

At the beginning stage of programming education, comprehending program logics plays a more important role than capturing knowledge of a specific program language. In this paper, the authors describe an outline of a visualization tool that animates the actions of a program by adding simple annotations to the variables defined in a program, and show several ideas to improve the usability of this ...

We describe our work on HEPAR II, a probabilistic causal model for diagnosis of liver disorders. The model, a Bayesian network capturing the causal interactions among various risk factors, diseases, symptoms, and test results, is based on expert knowledge combined with clinical data captured in medical records. The main applications of HEPAR II are assistance is diagnosis and training of beginn...

Wearable sensing technologies give the user the possibility of onsite and real-time measurements, analysis and feedback of movements and postures in everyday behavior, learning and training situations. There are many established motion capturing technologies to support complex movements, but less mobile and wearable systems. One of the key disadvantages of the existing systems is their high com...
