چکیده

The growth of communication network technology enables people to take part in a distant lecture. We are developing a supporting system for a distant lecture named ACE (Automatic Camera control system for Education). The previous version of ACE captures the lecture focusing on the latest object written on a blackboard because a teacher frequently explains it. However, a teacher not always explains the latest object. We have designed, therefore, ACE to take a suitable shot according to a teacher’s behavior. This paper describes our system, our camera control strategy, the algorithm to estimate a teacher’s behavior in a lecture and experiment of our system.

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

Comparative assessment of the accuracy of maximum likelihood and correlated signal enhancement algorithm positioning methods in gamma camera with large square photomultiplier tubes

Introduction: The gamma cameras, based on scintillation crystal followed by an array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), play a crucial role in nuclear medicine. The use of square PMTs provides the minimum dead zones in the camera. The camera with square PMTs also reduces the number of PMTs relative to the detection area. Introduction of a positioning algorithm to improve the spat...
