In this article, we consider the problem of reshaping a deformable linear object (DLO) like wires, cables, ropes, and surgical sutures. The solution to would be useful for many fields, especially industrial manufacturing, where DLO manipulation is still frequently carried out by human workers. work, new model-based technique addressed employing sequence grasping releasing primitives performed s...

Pedestrian detection, which is to identify category (pedestrian) of object and give the position information in the image, is an important and yet challenging task due to the intra-class variation of pedestrians in clothing and articulation. Previous researches mainly focus on feature extraction and sliding window, where the former aims to find robust feature representation while the latter see...

This paper reports the development of a highly parameterised 3-D model able to adopt the shapes of a wide variety of different classes of vehicles (cars, vans, buses, etc), and its subsequent specialisation to a generic car class which accounts for most commonly encountered types of car (includng saloon, hatchback and estate cars). An interactive tool has been developed to obtain sample data fo...

We present a modi cation of the well known snakes algorithm for extracting contours in noisy images Our modi cation addresses the issues of selection of the control points on an estimate of the contour and the determination of the weighting coe cients The weighting coe cients are determined dynamically on the basis of the distance between the control points and the local curvature of the contou...
