INTRODUCTION In general the term motion capture refers to the act of recording the movement of objects in varying levels detail [17]. This report discusses the more specific task of capturing and analyzing human full body motion. Note that the term motion capture is used both in the general sense and also when referring only to human motion, especially in relation to character animation for mov...

High-resolution structures provide new insights into how an RNA-protein complex recognizes the signal that targets membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum before they aggregate.

til very recently, scientists still deliberated whether human activity was altering the global climate. Specifically, was the release of greenhouse gases, which trap heat radiating from the earth’s surface, to blame? With scientific evidence mounting in favor of the affirmative, the discussion is now turning to what steps society can take to protect our climate. One solution almost certainly wi...

electron micrographs of many plant features and details of their reproduction. “Our work results from an enthusiasm to communicate and express our shared passion and fascination for the beauty of sexual reproduction among flowering plants,” the authors write. Their aim is to engage audiences for the research and conservation work in the plant sciences carried out throughout the world. And they ...

In Proc. of IEEE Int’l Conf. on Computer Vision, Vancouver, Canada, 2001 Vision-based motion capturing of hand articulation is a challenging task, since the hand presents a motion of high degrees of freedom. Model-based approaches could be taken to approach this problem by searching in a high dimensional hand state space, and matching projections of a hand model and image observations. However,...
