Computers Seeing People

چکیده
machines that can interact with them as they interact with each other. Science fiction writers have given us these goals in the form of HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Commander Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, at present, our computers are deaf, dumb, and blind, almost unaware of the environment they are in and of the user who interacts with them. In this article, I present the current state of the art in machines that can see people, recognize them, determine their gaze, understand their facial expressions and hand gestures, and interpret their activities. I believe that by building machines with such abilities for perceiving, people will take us one step closer to building HAL and Commander Data.

متن کاملEmily Balcetis Wishful Seeing : How Preferences Shape Visual Perception
People assume that they perceive the world as it really is. In this article, we review research that questions this assumption and instead suggests that people see what they want to see. We discuss classic and current research demonstrating wishful seeing across two perceptual tasks, showing that people categorize ambiguous visual information and represent their environments in ways that align ...
متن کاملPerception, Mobility and the Affordances of Portable Computers: An Historical Epistemology of Mobile Computing
The interaction between humans and portable technologies, as a part of the broader problem of technology use in Human-Computer Interaction, has received considerable research attention and has been approached from diverse angles.
