Video files are large and usually take long time to view. Manual browsing and organizing a big collection of video files is tedious and impractical. The goal of this project is to develop an automatic method for video classification based on their genre,. Take movie as examples, the program will classify movies into action movies, comedy movies, tragedy movies, etc. In other words, our algorith...

Team coordination of non-player characters can create a deeper sense of immersion in real-time games by allowing characters to work together to produce better tactics and strategy. Achieving multi-agent coordination can be a difficult problem, and can incur substantial computational costs. Our goal with this work is to produce a reactive method for coordinating game characters that will allow c...

Pre-classification can effectively improve the performance of handwritten Chinese character recognition. This paper presents a method that uses four corner feature for pre-classification of handwritten Chinese characters. Considering writing variations, we define a set of basic stroke structures and match them with the structures in four corner regions of character image. The matching result wi...

The purpose of this study is to develop a plausible method to code and compile Buddhist texts from original Tibetan scripts into Romanized form. Using GUI (Graphical User Interface) based on Object Oriented Design, a dictionary of Tibetan characters can be easily made for Buddhist literature researchers. It is hoped that a computer system capable of highly accurate character recognition will be...

Typography plays an important role in publishing industry, and typically different typographies are needed for different use cases. However, designing a new font is very expensive and time-consuming, especially for Chinese, which involves a huge amount of characters. Some semi-automatic typography synthesis approaches have been proposed. These methods utilize structural commonalities to simplif...

31 Abstract—The interactive scenarios realized in the two prototypes of Virtual Human require an approach that allows humans and virtual characters to interact naturally and flexibly. In this article we present how the autonomous control of the virtual characters and the interpretation of user interactions is realized in the Conversational Dialogue Engine (CDE) framework. For each virtual and r...

Recently, a number of authors have suggested that we understand scientific models in the same way as fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes. The biggest challenge for this approach concerns the ontology of fictional characters. I consider two responses to this challenge, given by Roman Frigg, Ronald Giere and Peter Godfrey-Smith, and argue that neither is successful. I then suggest an alter...

Simulating a crowded scene like a busy shopping street requires tight packing of virtual characters. In such cases collisions are likely to occur, and the choice in collision detection shape will influence how characters are allowed to intermingle. Full collision detection is too expensive for crowds, so simplifications are needed. The most common simplification, the fixed-width, pose-independe...

Javanese characters are traditional characters that are used to write the Javanese language. The Javanese language is a language used by many people on the island of Java, Indonesia. The use of Javanese characters is diminishing more and more because of the difficulty of studying the Javanese characters themselves. The Javanese character set consists of basic characters, numbers, complementary ...
