Image-based 3D visualizations are required when frame rendering times are long, when photographic image sets rather than mathematical models of objects are available, or when model complexity does not support real-time rendering. The Object VR model of QuickTime (QT) is a common framework for such visualizations. While these have proved useful in the biomedical community, the QTVR framework has...

In this paper, we are analyzing the interactivity time, defined as the duration between two consecutive tasks such as sending emails, collecting friends and followers and writing comments in online social networks (OSNs). The distributions of these times are heavy tailed and often described by a power-law distribution. However, powerlaw distributions usually only fit the heavy tail of empirical...

The in-hand manipulation problem with anthropomorphic robotic hands constitutes a challenging area of research. While imitation learning and programming by demonstration have demonstrated to help in this problem, other supervised learning techniques providing more interactivity between an expert teacher and the robot have several advantages. The humanbased genetic algorithm is able to enhance s...
